AUSTIN (KXAN) — In-N-Out Burgers has closed its Texas restaurants following a problem with the quality of its buns.

“We recently discovered that our buns in Texas do not meet the quality standards that we demand. There was and are no food safety concerns,” the company said Monday.

 

In-N-Out closes all Texas restaurants due to bun quality

Seems odd. In my travels through Texas I've found bun quality to be one of their strong suits

Not quite Perris but they’re getting one closer.

Since my surgery, I've had to carefully watch my carb intake and that means greatly limiting bread and hamburger/hot dog buns. My daughter has playfully bugged me to get a grilled cheese from INO protein style. Told her it wouldn't really work. I finally caved in and she ordered one for me. Aside from too much lettuce that made it too slippery to hold, it wasn't the worst decision I've ever made - cheese, tomato, and whole grilled onion (no spread). I'd order one again.

Good for you man.  Not the easiest thing to prepare, but where else would you get one of those.  I’m glad you enjoyed it.

So I tried Shake Shack the other day...

Initial impressions were poor. More than $8 for a double burger, no fries, no drink, but at least I had an option to get a beer or for some reason a dog treat.

First bite of the burger reminded me of Five Guys, with their soggy buns, but two or three bites in I was hit with a bit of nostalgia... I had tasted this before but I couldn't quite place it.

Two or three more bites and it hit me. The Shack Burger at Shake Shack is the closest anyone has come to recreating the infamous McDonalds Arch Delux.

my daughter went last week and tried their veggie burger. she thought it was okay (it was made mostly out of beets, and she's not really a beet fan) but she loved the vegan mayo and said the fries were very good.

I had Shake Shack in DC and I thought it was good.  Now was it worth the $53 for 3 burgers, 3 fries  and 3 drinks, probably not.

We have three locations here. I have never been to one.

I don't do play meat. I have tried several different vegetable patties, and they were all vile.

Yea when I talked to my team about it I told them how proud I was of the company for making a decision like that, even if it does cost me a few bucks.   It wasn’t a food  safety issue it was simply a taste of the bun issue.
