Loved In n Out until I read they use palm oil and cottenseed oil... Worst things you could put in your body right there. Making these at home is way better for you. I make mine protein style. So good.

This recipe is almost spot on and can be perfected easily.
1. Buy buns at a local, non-supermarket bakery or make them yourself the day of consumption. (There are many recipes for buns, look for ones with sugar, lard or shortening, and whole milk to get the closest. Practice, practice, practice. A lot of the result depends on technique.)
2. Use 3 oz. of 60/40 hamburger from a local meat packager.

Here is the secret.. you need a sponge dough bun to start, cook patties as shown above. The trick is dice up 1/2 cup white or red onions fine, and to hot pan with 1 tlbl spoon olive oil add 1/4 cup of good thousand island dressing, and 1 slice of cheese. cook on high heat stir until caramelized golden. Follow rest of recipe. That's as close as you will get! Enjoy!!

This recipe is spot on!! But I did realize something was missing; believe it or not the paper they wrap it in does effect the taste. So if you are serving it to friends or family buy the paper wrap at Sam's or Costco and wrap'em. Presentation is just as important.

You can't find a better burger anywhere. And for the price, well that even makes it better.

Kudos for figuring out that the stacking order is so critical. Also note that this recipe works better when the burgers are cooked on an electric griddle (assuming that a gas griddle can't be found) than in a frying pan.

A+ burger!!! I have been craving a west coast burger for about 9 months now, and this one takes me right back home!!! For best results, use a specialty bun, romain lettus and the best american cheese from your local deli. And as always slice your tomato's and your onions with love and very thin....Thanks a million!

I lived in CA for most of my life, and when I moved out to the east coast I was devistated. My Best Friend in California sent me this recipe... my god it was great. I'm having friends over this weekend, and I'm going to show them how a real burger tastes.

Chuck G2 you do not know what you are talking about. They do not use Velveeta Cheese! They use a specialty cheese that is formulated to melt at higher temps! Velveeta would melt if you threw it on the sidewalk on a sunny day.
