Someone feed Ferran Adrià an In-N-Out burger, stat!

In an interview in the UK's Independent, El Bulli's Ferran Adrià, known as one of the greatest chefs in the world, professes his apparently longstanding admiration for McDonald's hamburgers. Adrià "said he did not think he could make a better hamburger for the money." That's not really the point. Why do I say that?

McDonald's serves a zillion burgers a year, so of course their buying power allows them to spend minimally on food costs for each burger. If Adrià threw in his hourly rate into his burger costs he would probably have to charge fifty bucks for single cheeseburger.

If Adrià really wants to see who produces really tasty cheap burgers, the next time he is in New York I will personally escort him to White Manna in Hackensack, New Jersey, or All-American Burger in Massapequa, Long Island. If he finds himself in California I'm sure AHT's new Los Angeles correspondent Damon Gambuto will be happy to accompany him to an In-N-Out for a seriously delicious and inexpensive burger.
