In-N-Out Burger - My Wait is Over

There are very few chains whether restaurant, fast food, grocery, apparel, etc that can't be found in Dallas.  It is chain heaven!  However, one of the major ones (at least in my world) that was missing was In-N-Out.  When a learned last year through my inside source (Joe) that In-N-Out was coming to Texas - I was thrilled.  It was a long tortuous wait but at long last, on May 11th, Dallas got a little more bearable.  In-N-Out opened!!!  And the crazy/lucky/can-you-believe-it thing is that the first location in ALL OF TEXAS is 2 streetlights away from our home!

Here's at the early stages of construction:

 All Done!

 And we even get the palm trees!

 Here's me enjoying my first burger.  (Technically this is the Allen, TX location that opened on the same day and not the Frisco, TX location.  Joe works at the Allen location so we went there to say hi.  Hi was all we were able to say because it was CRAZY busy.  They were selling around 8,000 burgers per store per day that first week.  They also opened an hour and a 1/2 early and were still cooking more than an hour after they should have closed in order to deal with the lines.  People waited in line for more than 2 hours!)

 Peter and our food.  I sure love In-N-Out!

  So even though my wait for In-N-Out in Texas is over, my wait isn't technically over.  The lines are still long nearly 3 weeks later (when we've gone we've waiting anywhere from 30 to 50 minutes) but worth it - at least right now while I am still quenching my thirst.  :)  I know, I might be a little nuts but it's good to be passionate about something.  For some Texans, it's football.  For me, it's In-N-Out.
