- Let's go in for the ♪ Double double ♪ If you guys could see Nick right now, he's so annoyed with me, but that's what you get when you marry someone that does food videos online. Hey, what's up you guys? Jackie here and today I'm at In-N-Out, And I am trying every single thing off of the menu. Now I know what you guys are thinking. It's not Jackie tries, it's Julia tries, but unfortunately there is no In-N-Out on the east coast, so I have the daunting task of eating everything off of the menu. So, Julia, I hope I do proud and I hope I do all of you guys proud as well. All right, let's go eat some food. Ooh, it smells so good. It smells so good. (upbeat music) - [Nick] It's recording. - Can you turn it around so people can see what you're doing in the car. (scary music) - It's all about the lighting. - I'm so sorry. First off, the smell of this. It has filled my car with this beautiful aroma. Like the smell of this food is so delicious. I would bottle it up as perfume and wear it day to day. The regular burger. Already off the bat, it just looks so beautiful, doesn't it? The bun looks nice and fluffy. The, you got the meat there, a whole like stack of onions. So they don't just, you know chop up the onions, so you get these random pieces of onions, but you get a whole slab of onion. (sighing) The moment I've been waiting for. Mm-hmm. Just give me a second. It has been a minute since I've been to In-N-Out, so I'm just really enjoying this moment. One second, please. - [Nick] Um, babe. - I had food on my mouth? What I love about In-N-Out is that they don't freeze any of their burgers. All of their stuff is fresh, they don't microwave stuff, none of that. And that is what you taste, when you bite into it. You taste a fresh patty. There's a crunch with the onion, a crunch with the lettuce, and the tomato, so you're getting all of these combinations of just fresh food. And let me just not even talk about their secret sauce. I like to call it like a thousand island, 'cause it looks like a thousand island, but we, no one knows what's really in their sauce. The owners have kept it secret for many, many years and they won't let us know about it. Anyone that eats a burger and doesn't eat their fries simultaneously, is kind of like a psychopath, not gonna lie. So with that being said, before I dive into these other burgers, I want to eat some of their French fries. ♪ Ooh ♪ Their French fries are so crispy, crispy and delicious. They're not like, you know, sometimes when you get French fries from fast food, they're very greasy or oily. There's no grease residue. Like you touch that, and there's just like a little bit of oil, but it's not like they're like soggy and full of grease. I don't think a burger is truly a burger unless it has cheese, so I'm very excited to go in for this. First of all, I would just like to say this bun is glorious. It's so soft and it's so pillowy. It makes you literally just want to take it and just like lay on it. It's exactly like the burger that we just had, but it has the cheese and their cheese is American sliced cheese. It does taste a little like fast food cheese, not gonna lie. Thank you. Next up the double double. Now, I think, oh my gosh, it's heavy, y'all. This has some weight to it. Wow, they double everything, but if you really look at it, when you put these two patties together, it's like one normal patty. Let's go ahead and dive into this. The burger is so delicious and it does have a lot of nice seasoning on there, and with the combination of the crispy onions, the fresh lettuce and the really, really fresh tomatoes, it's just honestly very well balanced. I really liked the double double better because you get more of the meat. I feel like with the regular burger and cheeseburger, it's more of the bread, lettuce, and tomato, which is nice. Again, it's light and fresh, but with the double double, I mean, you're getting more and you're getting more of that meat. This is delicious, so good. We're going through the drive through again for the second round, and if you guys watched the other episodes that I was in, I feel extremely cringe-worthy when I order food from people that is extra work or an inconvenience, and this is on their not so secret menu, so they do allow people to order this stuff. They want to be flexible for their customers, but it's not on the menu per se. And I hate being that person. It is very challenging to film in your car. I brought Nick along with me and then I just gave him the boot because (laughing). - [Nick] The dashboard does a better job than me. - The dashboard does a better job than Nick does and he's literally just sitting here as I film and eat. I'm so sorry. I'm very sorry. - It's okay. - Like he's really upset, you guys. Okay, we're on our second round, and I've never been more intimidated. I was feeling good the first round. I kind of flew through it. No big deal, wasn't feeling sick. Didn't feel burger tapped out yet, but now looking at this, it just really is scary. In the first round we had the double double, which was double the patties and double the cheese. This one is just double the meat, and again, I don't understand burgers without cheese, so I'm not really looking forward to this one, honestly. In the first round we did nothing but raw onions, but I figured on this round we would switch it up, and do some grilled onions, which I like. The raw onions are really nice, 'cause they're like crispy and crunchy, but the grilled onions, just add that like smoky flavor. So let's go in for the ♪ Double double ♪ If you guys could see Nick right now. He's so annoyed with me. But that's what you get when you marry someone that does food videos online. I mean, it's a really good burger. It has all those flavors I was talking about before, but just double the meat minus the cheese. I feel like it's just really dry when you don't have the cheese in there. Like I don't understand people that eat burgers without cheese. It's not a burger without cheese. From here, I think it just will go downhill because the burgers just keep stacking higher and higher. The next one is the 3x3. Look at the cheese! Mm, so this is just fantastic, and I understand why now Gordon Ramsey approves this. - I love eating that burger, honestly. - It makes sense why this is such a staple in Los Angeles. Whoa, I've been here and I've never ordered this before. I think I love this 3x3 because you get all the extra cheese, all of those patties. When you take one bite, it is a mind blowing experience. They asked me if I wanted these banana peppers, and I'm wondering what the experience is like with the banana pepper, and my next burger, which is the 4x4. (cliffhanger music) You guys. It just feels so heavy. Oh my gosh, it's heavy y'all, and it's the same thing as the 3x3, it's just an extra patty. So it's the same thing, it tastes the same, but you get four. Four! Four! (laughing) No, it's really, it's really starting to get to me. It's literally gonna fall apart. You can't even see the lettuce and tomato because there's so many patties, like oh, there it is. It's hidden somewhere down there. Okay, I'm gonna go in with the banana pepper. Oh my god, it's heavy. This should not be on the menu. I'm gonna taste it with the pepper. (pepper squishing) (laughing) Whoo, that's the last thing I needed right now was to add spice to my life. ♪ People of the world ♪ ♪ Spice up your life ♪ ♪ Ah ♪ - That's marriage. A banana pepper is actually really nice, it adds a nice hint of spice and flavor to the burger. Whoo, that's the last thing I needed right now. Especially if after I've had so many of the burgers and having that same flavor, that extra crunch there, and that hint of spice really gives you this new experience with the In-N-Out burger, that is really nice. Oh my god it's so spicy. In-N-Out is known for their animal style burger and their animal style fries. So their animal style burger, which is this one, the main difference is, is they actually cook their burger patty with mustard, and then they add pickles on the bottom and then their classic secret sauce with again, lettuce, tomatoes, and grilled onions are their animal style. So not raw onions, grilled onions. Oh yeah, you can tell the difference between the regular burger and their animal style. The hint of mustard on the meat makes definitely a difference and adds a really fun, fresh flavor to the burger, and to have those crispy pickles on the bottom, to add that nice crunch to the burger, I love so much. It's crazy what one ingredient can really do to a burger and transform it into something completely different. Their animal style of French fries, are just your regular French fries, and then they take American cheese slices, and they melt it on top of the French fries, and then they add their secret sauce on top. At this point, it's kind of hardened, but I'm sure they're still delicious. ♪ Oh, that looks good ♪ Maybe it's because I've had too much of their cheese and their secret sauce, but this is feeling like a whole lot of flavors overload. I mean, honestly, I'm not a fan. I think this would be really good with just the cheese and the grilled onions. I feel like their secret sauce on there is too strong. There's too many different flavors going on. You order these French fries after a night of hanging out with the girls and having a couple cocktails. You're like, "Let's go to In-N-Out, "let's get the animal fries and get a little crazy." I get why they call them animal fries 'cause man, these things are wild. So for those vegetarians out there, they have a grilled cheese sandwich. And the really cool thing is, is that you could order the grilled cheese extra toasted, which I did. So basically what the grilled cheese is, is a normal cheeseburger without the meat. So you have cheese, the lettuce, one slab of juicy plump tomato, and then the secret sauce. If I see one more thing with this secret sauce on it, I think I'm gonna lose it. I am secret sauced out. Grilled cheese sandwich, let's go for it. I definitely recommend asking for it extra toasted. It's really nice when you go in for that bite and you get that crispy bread with the melted cheese, The set up's really nice, you have that nice sauce with it. It's just a nice grilled cheese at a burger joint. There's not much more you can ask for. Today, we've gone from four patties, to three patties, to two patties, to one patty, to no patty. Don't want a patty, don't worry about it. You want four patties? No problem, they got your back. That is it for the burger rounds, and the animal style around. No more animal style. It is dessert time and I'm very excited. (gentle music) That was the guy that took my order for the last round, and he definitely looked at me like, "Oh, it's this chick again?" All right, you guys, we are on the last and final round. I went through the drive through, I let my stomach settle, and now I'm ready to take this last round on full speed ahead. It is the dessert round. My favorite round of this whole entire thing. We gotta start off with their root beer float. Now this root beer float is not on their menu, it is on their secret menu. So you have to order this specially. The important part of the root beer float is there needs to be the perfect ratio between root beer and ice cream. You guys. Mm, okay, let's go ahead and try it. Yup, that's good, right there. There's something about the fizziness of the root beer and the creaminess of the ice cream mixed together that tastes so delightful. Grade A, very amazing, classic vanilla ice cream, but I wish I tasted more of the root beer. So if you're like me and you want more root beer in your root beer float. Oh wow, I shouldn't be allowed in public. I definitely recommend asking for extra root beer on the side, or extra root beer in here because it just really isn't enough. Next up we have the vanilla milkshake, and ooh, already, you could already tell that is a thick milkshake. Milkshakes need to be thick and creamy almost to the point where you can't suck it out of the straw. It like takes you a good three sips or sucks, in order to get the milkshake up the straw. That is the way you could tell if the milkshake's thick enough. So let's try it. How many? Three sucks until the milkshake hit my mouth. It is a thick milkshake, which I love. The real telling of how good a milkshake is, is the combination with French fries. So I ordered another order of French fries because honestly, you can't eat a milkshake without French fries. It is the perfect combination. Look at that. Let it drip. Yup. There's a whole science behind it, you guys. Salty and sweet together is the perfect combination. I'll put myself out on a limb there and say that milkshake and fries are a better combination than burger and fries. I'm just gonna say that. The strawberry milkshake, wow. She is gorgeous, honey. Look at that. I'm not a fruity type of girl when it comes to desserts. Again, I love my chocolate, but every once in a while, it's nice to switch it up and get something fruity. Let's take a bite. Ooh. Like all the other milkshakes, thick, consistent. There's nothing worse than an icy milkshake or like a runny or watered down milkshake. And I'm in my car, it is hot outside, and these still are thick. Mm. Wow, this strawberry milkshake is exactly what you need on a 100 degree day in Los Angeles. As soon as you take a bite, you feel so refreshed, so cool, the flavor bursts in your mouth, it takes your taste buds on a magical unicorn ride. I say unicorn 'cause it's pink. It's delicious. Nothing really tops this chocolate shake. True story, there was one point in time because that this In-N-Out is so close to my house. I came here like five days in a row because I was so obsessed with the chocolate shake and the French fries, and it was, it was honestly a problem. Yeah. Oh. The chocolate taste just hits you. It is strong, it is rich. Wooh. It's literally so delicious, it's so good! Mm-mm. It's not like a hint of chocolate. That's one thing I hate when you get chocolate shakes and they just like a little bit of chocolate. It's like, it almost tastes like vanilla. It's like, um, I asked for a chocolate shake, not a vanilla shake. This without a doubt, is a chocolatey chocolate shake. Let's go ahead and dip our fries in here. Wow, oh my gosh, this is the best combination ever! It's so good. In-N-Out has been around since 1948. I'm not a mathematician, but that's around 70 years? - 70. - More than that - [Nick] About 70, yeah. - 1948, to 70 some. - 72 years and a few. - Okay, all right. - [Nick] That was close. - A long time after they've been established for like 20 years, that's when they introduced their milkshakes and the animal style. But other than that, their menu has stayed the same and it stayed the same because people are obsessed with it. Man, what a journey that was. Wasn't that a journey? Let me know what's your favorite thing to eat at In-N-Out. Did I just say that? I think I have burger brain. - Yeah. - From what you saw today, do you think the hype is worth it or do you think people overly hype it? Let me know in the comments below. Okay, I can't think anymore because all I can think about is all the burgers that I ate. Thanks for watching, like and subscribe, and where should I go next in LA that you guys want to see? Well, that's the way to end it.

Jackie is trying all of In-N-Out's most famous menu items including hamburgers, cheeseburgers, fries, and milkshakes.
