...large and enthusiastic following, who consider it one of the de rigueur stops on any SoCal trip, but I was certainly not dissatisfied, with the possible exception of the fries. But an icon is an icon, and the place, as Al Gore might say, is definitely its own burger joint: On the way out, a table of six diners of indeterminate ethnicity (the place definitely looked like America, as Mr. Clinton would say) waved to me. Would I take their picture? "There are no In-N-Outs in England, one man said by way of explanation...
