One of the things I look most forward to about a trip to California is In-N-Out Burger. Canadians: you know how Canadians go nuts about Tim Horton’s? That’s how Los Angelinos feel about In-N-Out. Last time I was in San Francisco, i discovered that the city has one In-N-Out, located in Fisherman’s Wharf.

I have been in California for two weeks and have not hit In-N-Out Burger yet!! Can you believe it? We’re going to rectify that situation today. Let’s go out for lunch.

Here is one corner of the pad, semi-strewn with Rock Band paraphernalia.

This photo is entitled Portrait of a Man Looking Forward to Burgers.

Yes, these burgers are this exciting.

This is the hood we’re starting out from. It’s a walk north to the wharf.

Chillin’.

We’re getting close. There’s Alcatraz across the Bay, and Fisherman’s Wharf along the water. It’s just a walk down the hill from here.

And if you’re standing in the spot where you take the previous picture, you see this view of the Golden Gate Bridge and the San Francisco Presidio.

These are the homeys taking this voyage with me. That’s Rando Calrissian with the backpack, aka. Rand Shuler, producer of the Revolution 9.9.9 event. The other dude is Mike, a crazy local we brought along.

This is one of the steepest hills I have ever been on. I got running down it at full tilt for the picture, and then had a hard time stopping. And of course Mike and Rand are laughing about how funny it would be if I wiped out.

It’s getting close…

Notice that this is the entire menu. The pressure to add chicken, veggie burgers, etc. to their menu over the years must have been enormous as fads came and went. But In-N-Out doesn’t get into that nonsense. They specialize, do one thing, and do it better than anyone.

Below, we start getting to the serious part. Finally enjoying my burger after looking forward to it since leaving California the previous time at the end of April.

I really wanted to sell how good these burgers are in these photos so I was thinking of a particular woman as they were being taken.

The last bite…

Rand likes his fries Animal Style with cheese.

Good-bye for now, In-N-Out Burger! It was wonderful to see you again! You are just as beautiful as ever.
