The Burger Lab: The Ins-n-Outs of an In-N-Out Double-Double, Animal-Style | A Hamburger Today

Hello and Happy Tuesday my Foodies!

I am slightly obsessed with In and Out. I don't eat fast food, but I do enjoy my In and Out Hamburger Animal Style, Fresh cut fries, and Neapolitan shake. I guess I just don't consider In and Out in the same category as other fast food chains because there food items are made fresh and taste delicious!

Yesterday I was hanging out with the family and we ending up discussing In and Outs "underground menu". My brothers knew about animal style, a 4x4, and the grilled cheese, but didn't know about the Neapolitan shake (vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry all in one, YUM!).
So of course I had to run out and pick up some shakes for them to enjoy, and they did!

But all this In and Out talk brought us to "What is Animal Style anyways?". We knew what it tasted like, and that it included special sauce and caramelized onions, but that was it. So I decided research the animal style and found my answer!

The onion jam is a must to completely recreate this famous burger. But with only 9 components, it's easy enough to recreate at home.

Check out the "how to" link below. It really is a fun recipe! And mustard on a patty...who would of thought of that???

Enjoy... Until next time!
