Either I picked the wrong day to curtail the Burger Conquests or this is a very sad April Fool’s joke. Walked past this display at the corner of Broadway and 23rd Street. For those in the know, that is across the street from the Shake Shack and down the block from Fresh N Fast.
If In-N-Out really is coming to NYC, then the 2 competitors above may want to figure out a game plan now because this is like a burger lovers wet dream come true. I couldn’t find anything on the In-N-Out website but based on this Facebook post they put up, I think it’s a joke…A VERY CRUEL ONE!! People who play bad April Fool’s Jokes are mean and hurtful. Shame on them!
Update … just found another sign at 14th St and Broadway. Finger’s crossed that it’s NOT a joke!!
Story update – In-N-Out’s statement:
“You may be aware of a rumor or April Fool’s Day hoax about In-N-Out Burger coming to New York City the Summer of 2010. This is not true. We are very sorry for any confusion this may have caused and have no idea how it got started. We want to make sure everyone knows that it is false. We currently operate restaurants in California, Nevada, Arizona and Utah. Thank you for your interest in In-N-Out Burger and if you’d like to find the location nearest you, please visit our locations page. “
However, it did come out in the wash put on by collegehumor.com
YOU RAT BASTARDS!!
An awesome joke, and IT'LL NEVER HAPPEN.
Wow – Animal style.
Sadly, those folks are impostors. The uniforms are wrong, and the man is not near clean-cut enough.
Sigh.
That's the best one I've seen so far. I'll have to try that here – haha!
That's rich! Yesterday I tried "Fresh N' Fast" for the first time and was actually really impressed. It was very good.
I don't know if anyone pointed this out, but, the In-n-out burger was from a 1970's porn called chopsticks about a girl who inhereted from her uncle a "roach coach" that visited construction sites, It was a dieing business and she was trying to turn business around and that was one of it's featured meals. That was back when porn had story lines.
