OK, I'm in the LA Area for the Rose Bowl until the 3rd, and am looking at the food options.

I went to In N Out today, it was delicious.

Where else should I go? Carl's Jr., Del Taco, or Jack in the Box? Or In N Out again?

I LOVE Jack in the Box Monster Tacos. They are disgusting, but fantastic. When I'm in Cali, I make sure to get some. Del Taco is good too, from what I remember. The Western Bacon Cheeseburger from Carl's is pretty darn tasty, too.

In N Out again.... next time ask for your double double to be made animal style. If you're looking for only fast food.... dude its LA you will find something. I recommend Jack in the box though good shakes and fries (get curly fries)

and Taco Bell is better than Del Taco

Well, I want to try those restraurants that aren't available in the midwest, so I just want to know what's worth going to.

LA Times survey says:

1. Hoagies & Wings (Venice Beach) or Zankou Chicken (Sunset Blvd in L.A.)

Might not be close to you though

In n out was next on the list so I'd go with that again if you aren't near the other two places

Yes, try them all, but definately don't forget a stop at In and Out for a double double animal style.

You'll move here just for that burger

Nope. There is no JitB east of the Mississippi unless you go way south in Tennessee, or you get all the way to the East Coast. Hardee's is our Carl's. They are owned by the same company but don't have identical menus.

I was wondering where the hell those Hardees were? We still get all the commercials in CA. You get those damn Jack in the Box commercials?

This forum has made me want to try In-N-Out so bad. Next time I ever see one I'm going there

Florida doesn't have Carl Jr. Del Taco, In-N-Out, Sonic, Hardees, Popeyes, White Castle or others. I want them all, especially white castle and popeyes

Sonics are farther south in the Midwest. There's one or two in Southern Illinois, as far as where I've been. There used to be some in Indianapolis, but they closed down.

Yeah, the closest one to Michigan is in Fort Wayne, Indiana.

I'm not driving for 2 hours for marginal drive-in food.

their chili dogs are the shiznit, but like i said, not worth a long trek just to get it.
