So, this is from a couple of weeks ago, but I hadn't posted here yet...
I am spending most of this year in the Philippines, and we are often hit by brownouts - no electricity for a couple hours, sometimes a couple of days. I had a 2 day outage with 10 kilos of ground beef in the freezer. My solution? Host a party in honor of my favorite fast food chain in the Western US, In N Out Burger.
Specifically, in honor of their "secret menu". For those of you not familiar with the chain, it's your basic burger joint with fantastic drive thru service. They have a very simple menu, but there are so-called "secret" ways of ordering their burgers, fries, and some drinks as well.
I decided that I'd host a party and let people here choose from the options included in the secret menu. We took over the roof of my condo building here in Manila and set up several large grills.
I don't think the variations merit their own recipes on this site, so I thought I'd just post them here in a thread. Here goes:
"3-by-3" = three meat patties and three slices of cheese.
"4-by-4" = four meat patties and four slices of cheese.
"2-by-4" = two meat patties and four slices of cheese.
*Note: You can get a burger with as many meat patties or cheese slices as you want. Just tell the In-N-Out Burger cashier how many meat patties and how much cheese you want and that is what you'll get! For instance, if you want 6 pieces of meat and 10 pieces of cheese tell them you want a "6-by-10."
"Double Meat" = like a Double Double without cheese.
"3 by Meat" = three meat patties and no cheese.
"Animal Style" = the meat is cooked and fried with mustard and then pickles are added, extra spread and grilled onions are added.
"Animal Style Fries" = fries with cheese, spread, grilled onions and pickles (if you ask for them).
"Protein Style" = for all you low-carbohydrate dieters, this is a burger with no bun (wrapped in lettuce).
"Flying Dutchman" = two meat patties, two slices of melted cheese and nothing else - not even a bun!
Fries "Well-Done" = extra crispy fries . . . even better than the regular!
Fries "Light" = opposite of fries well-done, more raw than most people like them
"Grilled Cheese" = no meat, just melted cheese, tomato, lettuce and spread on a bun.
"Veggie Burger" = burger without the patty or cheese. Sometimes we call this the "Wish Burger." (there used to be a version called "On the Sal", which had all the veggies w/o meat or cheese, but a few of the chains I've visited had no idea what I was talking about.)
"Extra Toast" = the bun is left on the grill slightly longer than normal, resulting in a more crispy bun. I like this, but only when the cook is paying attention.
"Neapolitan" Shake = strawberry, vanilla and chocolate blended together.
My personal favorite is a double double animal style and a chocolate shake. I only wish all the chains stocked fresh eggs, so i could get my fave burger with a fried egg on it. Pure heaven.
Anyone have any other great burger suggestions for my next freezer death?

I am glad to know about these secret menu items. The posts are just related to my old memories. You remembered me eating at Pup N Taco. Well, I was surfing for the in n out burger secret menu and I got really wonderful posts here regarding that.
