Connie said that I complain too much. She told me that when she heard me mumbling to myself, In' n' Out, burgers and fries are not what they used to be. And they are not. I noticed the last 3-4 times we bought that the fries and lettuce needed to be fresh.
The best burgers I ever had were the hickory burgers Pops used to make at Monke-Uddle in East L.A. - Pops, back in the late '50s - the early '60s, would make Connie a special burger with homemade salsa. Maybe it's just nostalgia yearning for a burger that perhaps never really existed. Still, I can't remember a better burger than the ones Pops would make in his little stand that sat in the parking lot (behind the stores) on Kern Ave. - We would wash those great burgers down with a bottled soda - Hell, I trust nostalgia to be right on this one!!
