There is a list of things that mark you as a resident of LA.
As yet, not all of the items apply to me, but there is one that certainly rings true: You know what In N Out is and feel bad for all the other states because they don’t have any.
In N Out is very different from the fast food burger norm of McDonalds. The ingredients are prepared freshly on site, even the potatoes are sliced in the restaurant. The menu consists of just a few items, focused on the burgers. The restaurants are tiled white, with the staff wearing the same colour; all emphasising the cleanliness. But the real selling point of In N Out is the flavour, nothing tastes like In N Out.
I believe that there are a few out of states one now; there is certainly one in Las Vegas, but if you are in the Los Angeles area you need to see the Walk of Fame, see the Hollywood sign, and eat In N Out; everything else is optional.

In N Out is good, but have you tried Fat Burger yet? Once I got past the name, I realized exactly why everyone had been trying to drag me there since I arrived.
I have finally tried Fatburger and posted a short comment on it
