For those who are not US-based, In-n-Out is a burger chain of restaurants.

Also, OP don't make us clear the text boxes by hand. Consider changing the form code to something like this: https://gist.github.com/763243

Fixed!

People always ask what you would do with "FU Money". Simple: I'd buy In N Out and bring it everywhere while still maintaining the freshness+quality of work. If they didn't go easily, I'd just perform a hostile takeover or spend whatever it takes to "clone it".

I recently brought In-n-Out in my carry-on luggage for my family in Washington. Best Christmas Eve dinner ever.

Ha. Did you take any precautions to keep the food fresh and not-messy? Do tell.

Well, I had 6 double-double animal styles (double-doubles animal style?) in one of their brown boxes. I took care to keep my laptop bag horizontal as much as possible. By the time I got home, the bottom of the box was pretty soggy. The lettuce was a little wilted, but we re-heated the burgers in the microwave and they were pretty darn good. I would say about a 15% reduction in quality.

the killer killer conversion piece is convincing me that in n out this way is still "in n out". I love in n out because it's fresh and good. Sending it via mail could really ruin that. Would it even be edible? If so,I don't care about price. Prove to me it still rocks.

Agreed - I think the construction of a double double animal style is not optimal for eating outside of a ~30 minute window after it's been produced. Even the drive home can be enough to make thing start to get soggy. It seems like the way to do this properly would require deconstructing the burger and emulating the special sauce so that when you got it you could warm it up in pieces and rebuild it. I may have to try this before I head back to NYC.

Heads up: now accepting orders.
