Arizona Students Diss In-N-Out

Posted by Adam Kuban, January 23, 2007 at 6:00 PM

Though we at A Hamburger Today think that In-N-Out is great but often overrated, we think some students at the University of Arizona need to spend some time at burger college. When discussing the possibility of an In-N-Out replacing an on-campus McDonald's whose contract is up, here's what a couple said:

"I think Sonic should be there, or Burger King," said James Roberts, a molecular and cellular biology sophomore. "Any place that serves better fries." ...

"Wendy's is a lot healthier, and you can have a salad instead of fries," said Melissa Revelle, a physics and astronomy junior. "Sonic is also better because it has a better variety and quality."

How can you describe a frozen patty (Sonic) as being of "better quality" than a fresh-not-frozen In-N-Out patty? Ai yah!

Although I think In-N-Out is fantastic I'd totally take Sonic over it, the quality Sonic offers in the variety of their menu is fantastic; I don't think In-N-Out really fills the void the students need.

Fair enough, Wingman. I'll concede to the variety argument but still think the quality of the In-N-Out burger patties is superior. We can just agree to disagree on this one ;) Sonic does have a great selection and the tater tots and cherry limeades are great. I wish they would have had the Spicy Island Burger when I was back home for Christmas -- it was a limited-time thing. We don't have Sonic in NYC area, but for some reason they like to tantalize us with television advertising here anyway. Confounding.
