Animal Style

Recommended Posts

So I had my first "animal style" burger from In-N-Out today, and now I'm wondering why it is called that. The only noticeable difference was that they grilled the onions and added pickles, and I don't see anything very "animal" about that, so how did it get that name?

(As you can see, I am pondering life's important questions today.)

Would be a great question to as one of their corporate marketing people, but it's been that way for as long as I can remember.

The only animal style I'm familiar with is 'doggie style', but that doesn't seem relevant here.



Well, it does seem to have a dirty connotation, especially coming from a place called In-N-Out. But then they put Bible verses on their food wrappers and cups, so I don't know . . .

Believe it or not, the company was completely innocent and had no idea about the concept of subtext when the named it back in the 50s. They simply thought it was a good name for a drive through.

OK, well, since they named it before "A Clockwork Orange" was written, then I'll believe it was an innocent choice. :P

The burger on an animal style is mustard cooked which gives it a little different flavor. Add regular pickles instead of just the little chopped ones in the spread and grilled onions. Also add extra spread which makes it messy = "animal" style.
Ordering, "animal style" is just an easy way to not have to add to the burger.

Yum yum! Think I'll go get that for dinner. :)

Be yourself!

That's what their website said, but it didn't taste mustardy to me. I'd probably like it better with mustard in place of the spread. But then I guess it wouldn't be animal style, if you're right about the messy spread being the "animal" part.

And BIGUN: I looked at wikipedia before I posted on here, but it didn't answer my question. However, it did explain the crossed palm trees at some of their locations, which I had wondered about before. :)
