Non tech stuff

Occasionally, this site does some non-tech items, this is one of them.

On February 14th, my wife and I finally made it to the new In-N-Out Burger location in Keizer, Oregon. Salem is a test market for fast food having one of the first Sonic Drive In's, in the Northwest, that I visited in the Summer of 2008 which was posted on this site back then.

No one has ever said anything bad about the place, especially Gordon Ramsey. There is a good reason why, this was the best burger I ever ate (Double Double Animal Style).

The french fries were cooked perfectly. The strawberry shake I had, had a better strawberry taste as well.

Everything is cooked fresh and it's perfect. Everyone that was working in there was very professional as well. I do like the palm trees and white decor that is a throwback to the 1950's with paper hats (similar to those I wore when working for McDonald's in the early 1980's).

While I support Dick's Drive Ins in Seattle (there will be an article or page soon) and I did visit the new Kent store in Midway back in September (it was the first place I stopped at) In N Out is now added to the list as well. Like Dick's their employment practices are similar (higher wages and benefits) and a professional staff.

There is a reason why we waited 45 minutes to get out order inside while cars are full in the drive through as well.

Like Dick's, I bought the t-shirt but the California chain has some very artistic ones.

There well be a section soon for In N Out and Dick's on here and possibly Wendy's as well (I worked there part time for many years and have shares in the company).
