Animal Fries Review

Here's a new idea for this blog: food reviews. I personally am not a trained gastronome, so don't expect high grade reviews, but I can tell my opinion. Fist off we are starting with IN N OUT's animal fries.

For those unaware of what exactly animal fries are, they are a secret menu option which is essentially an order of fries with american cheese, secret sauce, and grilled onions on top. You have probably just made up your opinion on whether or not you will like it based on that alone, but I was kinda surprised at how it tasted. I am not a cheese person, plain and simple, it is simply not my fave, and I prefer my hamburgers without it. So of course I thought animal fries might be the worst thing ever, but I was VERY pleasantly surprised.

When you get animal fries, it looks like a monster straight out of a cheesy 50's movie, and I mean that in a good way. It comes with a fork and napkin, so if you're driving, I recommend going inside the building to eat this. If you're familiar with chili cheese fries, this should be pretty well known territory. The first bite is in a word, overpowering. That sauce totally dominates, followed by the strong cheese flavor and some hint of onion. This is probably the point where you either hate it or love it. For me, it honestly depends on if I am in the mood for such strong flavors. When I am, it's the best thing ever, but when I'm not, it's just repulsive. Honestly, this is a dish you need to try for yourself, unless you're on a diet, and in that case WHY ARE YOU TEMPTING YOURSELF WITH THIS ARTICLE?

In conclusion, this is really a hate it or love it food item, and I find myself on both sides. I recommend eating it only occasionally, not just for health but for palate reasons as well. If it sounds good, go pick it up, of course IN N OUT is only in the western US, so there might not be any locations near you. If that's the case, you are doomed.

So, if you want me to continue with this kind of article (I'd add pictures of course, this was just a prototype) just comment here, and this could by a series.
