In-N-Out with the Oscars

By Mindy Kobrin on February 12th, 2008

Even with Vanity Fair's cancellation of its famed Los Angeles Oscar Party, you can still celebrate like the stars! Indulge in a burger from In-N-Out, the legendary celebrity-favoured joint, then wash it down with famously inspired drinks!

Many Hollywood stars including Hilary Swank have been seen munching on the irresistable patties.

Driving along a busy street in California you might spot an In-N-Out Burger. The drive through lines are often backed up with 20 cars waiting.

In-N-Out Burger is amazingly good because everything is fresh.
The secret to making this is to get the patty real thin, 1/4 inch or less. At the drive through, you can order onions grilled for your burger.

Unofficial In-N-Out recipe:

Ingredients

1/4 pound ground beef
1 fresh hamburger bun
Dash salt
1 tablespoon Kraft Thousand Island dressing
Large tomato slice (or 2 small slices)
Large lettuce leaf
2 slices American cheese (Singles) or- 1 slice real American cheese
1 whole onion slice (sliced thin)

Preparation

Preheat a frying pan over medium heat. Lightly toast the hamburger bun, face down in the pan. Set aside.

Form each half into a thin patty slightly larger than the bun.

Lightly salt patty and cook for 2-3 minutes on the first side. Flip it over and immediately place slice of cheese on. Cook for 2-3 minutes.

Assemble the burger in the following stacking order from the bottom up:

bottom bun / dressing / tomato/ lettuce/ beef patty with cheese/ onion slice or grilled onions/ top bun.

Makes one hamburger.
