Never a dull moment

Good news: Orem has an In-N-Out! We are fans, for sure, but probably not as die hard as they come. We've been eyeing the joint as it's been built, just waiting for the doors to open. It was quite fortuitous that I found out it had been opened (a coworker had it for lunch one day this week) and Kevin still didn't know. So, I sneakily thought that I would ask Kevin on a date for Friday night and take him there. Perfect, right? Well, we happened to be in a waiting room with a television on Thursday evening and the news was on. Of course, in the five minutes of us being there, they talk about all the people sleeping outside waiting for it to open. This was our conversation when we saw that on the tv:

Kev: Wow, cool, In-N-Out is open!

Me: Yeah. Look at that. (scowls)


My plan was foiled! We decide to go there anyways, but unfortunately the line was way too long and we were way too hungry. So we shall go another day that's not opening weekend. Instead, we decided to try this place in Provo:


This is a cute little place with the most amazing fry sauce I've ever had. The fries were perfect, too! Kevin's burger had guacamole . . . yum! It was fun to try something new. They have you order and pay when you walk in and then you sit around a bar. The workers come out when your burger is cooked and put the toppings on it right in front of you. They have polaroids all over the walls with people that have been there. They even took our picture. We wanted to put it next to Benton Paul, one of our favorite singers, but there wasn't room. This place did not disappoint. (And I'm sure they won't mind that I borrowed their picture with such a glowing review.)

When we got home, we decided to watch Kung Fu Panda. The plot was definitely lacking, but there were some really funny parts and the animation was quite impressive, so it was well worth it.




I feel like this is the fight Kevin and I have for the last bite of ice cream when we finally do break down and buy it.

That burger place looks great! I love little shops like that!

Now we'll have to go when we're in town next.

It sounds like a fun date night! And that burger place sounds really good. I wish I could try it out!

Hannah said...

So you guys just throw the last bite of Ice Cream away??!!! Philip is insanely jealous that you have an In&Out close by.

Tess said...

Yes Megan! I knew you would appreciate it! Every time I go to J-Dawgs I silently pay tribute to you for introducing me to it.

Carolyn--Of course you'll be back in Provo one of these days! Lainey has to go to college at some point, right?

Hannah--you're right, I should've clarified that it's all the same except for the end. Someone DEFINITELY eats it. :) Not doing so would be like throwing pure gold down the toilet!

Calli talked about that In-n-Out this week! She was going on Friday as well. Crazy.

Also, that burger place...Calli has also told me abou it. She likes the pie shakes. I guess they put a whole slice of pie right in the shake!

So JEALOUS!!! I really do miss In and Out. We used to live very close to one when we were in California. Don't forget about their underground menu. I always loved to order a "double, animal style"= two patties with grilled onions :)
