In-n-Out Pop Up - Toronto - Did Anyone Go..?

[wokkingtall]

Apparently In-N-Out Burger had a 1-day pop up in Toronto yesterday (Thursday).

 

From the Toronto Star: http://www.thestar.com/life/food_wine/2014/09/11/innout_burger_popup_shop_was_it_worth_the_wait.html

 

I've never been - the closest I got was in Vega$, but I never made it there

 

 

Did anyone manage to get in...?

Didn't hear about it until last night - not that I would have been prepared to wait in a long line.

 

Perhaps next vegas trip!

Well, don't expect too much!

 

In-N-Out is my favorite large-chain burger, by far. 

 

However, it is a large-chain burger.

 

It's not going to beat a burger individually-made at one of the few (and dwindling) mom & pop-style burger joints still left. 

 

In-N-Out has really fresh bread, meat, veggies, and I love them.

 

But they ain't no "Gonzales Burger" is all I'm saying:  http://www.urbanspoon.com/r/217/1476309/restaurant/McAllen/Gonzalez-Burger-Donna

To say it's legendary is no exaggeration.  Mom & daughter started selling them in their garage years ago.  It's a great story.  And now it's considered by many to be the finest burger in Texas.

 

As of the last time I was down there, a few years back, it's still a "you've got to know" kind of deal.  Still selling them out of the garage in the old neighborhood.  No sign.  No regular hours, really.

 

Like I said, you've just got to know.
