In-N-Out's Off-Menu Full Reveal, Des Jardins To Host James Beard Awards, More!

HANDY GUIDES - Apparently, ordering an "Animal Style" burger In-N-Out is a total rookie move. Serious Eats went ahead and ordered everything on In-N-Out's menu: both real and secret menu items, took pictures and blogged about it. Here's photographic evidence of off-menu mustard-grilled patties, two-minute fries, "fantastic" whole grilled onions and what sounds like In-N-Out's answer to the Double Down, a concoction of melted cheese between two burger patties called The Flying Dutchmen.
