Dallas Pretty Much Tells In-N-Out Burger to Go F*ck Themselves

DALLAS - After crowds flooded In-N-Out’s grand opening last month in Frisco and Allen, officials braced for the worst this morning at the California burger chain’s newest restaurant, along the North Central Expressway between Southwestern Boulevard and Caruth Haven Lane. But customers were pleasantly surprised by the quick service.

“I have friends in Frisco and Allen who waited three hours,” said Kristen Carlson, 32, who waited only 10 minutes before ordering in the drive-through.“I was nervous about traffic, but it’s not that bad.”

Dine-in customers were likewise moving through the lines quickly. Donna Dawson and Tree Mikulesky walked from their office just down the road and waited only five minutes before getting inside. “I thought it would be a nightmare, but this is pretty good,” Dawson said.

When the doors opened at 8:30 a.m., the line was almost underwhelming. Only about 14 people had queued up, and by then, even some hardcore aficionados were questioning the wisdom of camping out all night long.

HAHAHAHA!!! Get the hell outta here, In-N-Out. That mediocre bells n' whistles burger may work on the freak-filled West Coast and in suburbia where your choices are Chili's and Friday's, but not here. Dallas has more quality burger places than California has filthy hippies, and news that some foreign, transplant burger is supposed to take over this town just won't move the excitement meter around here. I hope the simpletons who drove over 30 minutes to join a bunch of high schools kids and wait in line all night for an hamburger enjoyed it like I did a Mavs championship. I do. I just don't expect some fast food chain to just waltz down here and whore itself out for newspaper space, and then expect this town to treat it with anymore interest than happy hour specials on Henderson or Party Pics of hots on McKinney.
