    I don’t think you have the same In-N-Out that we do. The only thing more anemic is a Jimmy John’s sandwich.

      If nothing else, a franchise that does two items and completely whiffs one of them (french fries) doesn’t deserve quite the fawning level of appeal.

      If I wanted disappointing, flavourless chips with a weird texture, I could buy a bag of Great Value Potato Derived Product Stick Units for a buck fifty and be done with.

      I’ve only visited ones around the Bay Area, and most frequently the Mountain View location at Grant & El Camino Real.

      Odd that you’d compare them to Jimmy John’s, which I recall making a very decent sub, as opposed to other popular chains such as Jersey Mike’s, which is the first that comes to mind when reading the term “anemic.”

        I’ve never had Jersey Mike’s, nor am I likely to with their annoying ads, but I’ve tried Jimmy John’s, and their BLT was mostly mayo on a plastic-adjacent bun.

          It’s entirely likely their quality has gone way downhill, and that there’s variation between locations. It’s been a couple years since I had one of their sandwiches and it was quite good, as were the many I’d had years prior.
