My favorite thing about Letters to McSweeney’s is the occasional flurries of correspondence spurred by one strange letter. For example, if you click here and scroll down to “billectric”‘s letter from Friday, January 20th. From there scroll up and enjoy the responses it garnered.
And on an unrelated note, Southern California’s greatest fast food franchise appears to be mired in legal trouble. Actually, they should probably be just fine, but the article provides me the opportunity to wax philosophical about how great In-N-Out really is. Fondly I remember driving through Claremont, California to buy a double-double, animal style.
I love the food, I love the secret menu, I love the fact that they pay their workers more than anyone else, and I love the fact that they have so far declined to expand beyond the west coast in order to maintain the quality that sets them apart from their competitors. I love these things so much that I don’t mind paying a little more for the food and am willing to turn a blind eye to the unobtrusive biblical references they print on their cups and french fry boxes. Good old In-N-Out.
This weekend I went to Maine and engaged in some immature but fun socializing. You can look at pictures here if you want to.
