One thing that's fun about living in California is In-N-Out Burger. Yes, in the land of organic wheat grass, Keller, Waters, and Naan -N- Curry it's a bit simplistic, but as far as junk food goes I feel it's the best bang for your buck.

Ross i might indulge you ... the strangeness of fry's is worth a post in itself.

Check out the book "Fast Food Nation" (not the movie) for a great explanation of why IN-N-Out is fast food the way it SHOULD be done. At a minimal cost premium (literally a few cents), you get fresh, quality food served by well-paid, well-treated workers. There's absolutely no economic reason why MacDonald's or Burger King couldn't do the same.
So not only is it healthier (at least as healthy as fast food can be), it comes from a company with a conscience. What more could you ask?

The best explanation is In-N-Out gone gourmet. Maybe that sounds off-putting, but the sheer number of add-ons you can put on the burger are what make it damned fun. Price point is a little higher too. It's not a replacement for In-N-Out, but a nice alternative/complement for when you want a burger with a bit more panache suited to your mood for the day.
Here's the site and there's a Counter near your 'hood down in Palo Alto:

And just to get your In-N-Out juices going, I've always been amazed/horrified by this tale of a 100x100 burger:

I read fast food nation (the book) and I think what I remember most was the lab where they try to make a meat smell or flavor - I think for the fries because they used to be cooked in beef fat or something. The whole fast food industry is rather nasty and I only need think back to my first full time summer job at a chain that shall remain nameless to remind myself of that...
Dave I'll have to check out the counter - sounds like fun. I actually had heard about the Counter before, because some dude ordered everything on the menu on his burger and got it in a bowl and then tried to eat it.
For the "gourmet" burger route there's also Jeffrey's in San Mateo which I like, but honestly, I prefer In-N-Out because of the cost factor. The Jeffrey's burger is excellent but any time I pay more than six bucks for a burger with fries I kinda wonder if I should just get a really good sandwich.
Anyhow I don't normally write about food so I don't know about the "food porn." But perhaps the high number of comments on this off-the-cuff post indicates I could possibly write about food more often.

It's pretty funny to go up there and my cousins say how much they take In-and-Out for granted. Then they visit Hawaii and I'm saying the same thing about Hawaiian food and Zippy's chili.
