I like that he has a 'Burger Lab' in the URL, which would make me think this is a regular thing for him: reproducing his favourite junk food at home. All a bit like the Birdman of Alcatraz, but for minced beef.

Now I have never been to an In'N'Out Burger, but the sincerity of this fellow's post makes me think I'm less of a man for not visiting them. Ahem.

It's been a long time...
I shouldn't have left you/Without a strong rhyme to step to/Think of how many weak shows you slept though/Time's up/Sorry I kept you.
Thank you Rakim.
So anyway, in the time since there's been this...
Created by my father-in-law's own fair hand. Big, sturdy, not lacking in flavour, boosted by the finest of company (both brewed and human) this was a big lump of sentimental mince. Our last day in the US of A. Amazing additions (look how well that tomato fits the bun) I think I had at least two and a half.
RATING:
If this burger was a shirt it would be that blue one you've had for ages that doesn't look too flash but people always comment on favorably at get togethers.
That wasn't my entire summer. There was plenty of this.

Plus lashings of this.

I even found time for this.
Which I came across at the Villager, where some great service, great cheese, and truly unnatural dining position - eating lunch on an 18" high couch and 18" high coffee table - could not distract from the fact that this was a pretty decent lump of meat. Sadly less than the sum of its parts, the build up set the stage for something rustic and muscular, this was robust but not in the way that it could defend you from muggers. A disappointment only exacerbated by what can only be called stoatin' hard fries.
RATING:
If this burger was a member of Lynyrd Skynyrd it would be one of ones who survived the air crash.

My sister had a deep, but hip boyfriend some time about 1990...
And from my limited handle on the situation it didn't seem to last very long. Long enough however for him to cough up an original Big Black 'Tools You Can Trust' T-shirt (which was to the right people, ladies and gents, a seriously big deal) and a copy of a Sonic Youth album which remains, despite years of rampant nerdiness, the rarest record I own. 20 years, a rogue Facebook post (thanks Stuart) and a couple of links later and here we have this. This isn't actually from that famed record - something I point out to appease those hair splitters among you - but is still great.
