Probably the most popular burger variation at
In-N-Out is the vaunted
"Animal Style" which is a burger of your choice with hand-leafed lettuce, tomatoes slices, a beef patty (or two or three) with mustard seared in during grilling, pickles, extra spread (thousand island), and grilled onions. Pictured above is a In-N-Out Hamburger Animal Style which comes in at a reasonable
$1.75.
In-N-Out takes the specialist approach to fast food, where they only make a few items but they make them well. I figure there's less opportunity to screw up when you only have to remember how to make a burger and fries. Of course, this also means that it's not the place to go when you feel like having some onion rings or zucchini sticks.
As far as the Animal Style Hamburger goes it's very good and the pickles give it a bit of a Big Mac vibe. But other than that, I don't find it much different than a regular In-N-Out Hamburger which is also very good. I don't know that I pick up on the extra spread and mustard. Still, a fair amount of my friend and relatives swear by the Animal Style. Sometimes, I'll get it just because, but usually my order is a Cheeseburger with grilled onions which is just classic.
I've included the nutrition information for a Hamburger below but the In-N-Out site didn't have the information on getting extra spread and pickles but if I were to guess, it would tax on a bit more sodium and a little more fat.
