Coming to Jungle

Over this next week one of my priorities is to (vastly) improve the Jungle hamburger (which is quite fine as is of course). Not only will the basic burger be improved but my intent is to add to the menu a couple of new burgers. First, I’ll come as close as I can get to an In-N-Out Double-Double, the best traditional burger on the planet. Second, I’m going to try the half-pound gourmet burger served up by Father’s Office in Santa Monica, with it’s mix of blue and gruyer cheese and bacon compote on a roll, about the best non-traditional burger I’ve had. I’ll keep you apprised of the progress on the burger front.

To whet the appetite here’s the lowdown on how to order at In-N-Out burger:

SECRET MENU

“Animal Style” – bun is grilled with mustard, sauteed onions instead of raw, pickles, extra “special sauce” – [this can also be applied to fries “Wish Burger” – no meat, i.e. veggie burger “Protein Style” – lettuce wrapped around the burger instead of a bun for all of you who are in “The Zone” “Flying Dutchman” – two meat patties with two slices of cheese. that’s it. “Double Meat” – Double Double without cheese “4×4″ – 4 meat patties with 4 slices of cheese. Are you SURE you can eat that? “2×4″ – 2 meat patties with 4 slices of cheese for the fromage afficionado “Grilled Cheese” – cheeseburger, sans meat “Fries – well done” – get your fries extra crispy and brown the way you like them! “Neopolitan Shake” – a blend of chocolate, vanilla and strawberry shakes.
