Hmm, Italian Beef? Sounds like something I'd like to after you described it... Mmm... I love having dangerously high metabolism. Excuse me as I eat a box of little debbie snacks in one sitting :D.
Anyway, I've heard of In-N-Out actually. Someone from Texas at another message board went into detail about it. Apparently they have little scripture numbers printed on the food packeging. Not the actual scripture itself, just the coding used to look it up. (I wonder who added that to the Bible anyway? Sure makes it convenient to find stuff, though at times I wonder if the person or persons creating the refference system knew exactly where they should devide passages.) Essentially, they let one know about passages without actually telling them stuff they don't care to read while eating, plus it's privatly owned and all so what YOU gonna do about it? I'd love to eat there sometime because I've heard that, as a chain, it's much better than most. I've heard that the employees actually care about making decent food. This might be a result of another thing I heard, about the employees having decent wages and their opinions actually being cared about. It's amazing revolutionary management thinking like that that may turn that chain into a major one sometime. But, it's not major in my book until I see one around me.
Chipoltes sounds like a great restaurant too. Is it fast food or slow food? Either way, I have a hard time seeing it match the truly amazing quality of a local restaurant here in Tulsa that serves all manner of Mexican food. I forget the name of it, but it's ALWAYS completely and totally packed. One time, I actually went in there surprised to see that I was only 5 people away from the register! There's a reason you walk into the place just to find a MASSIVE hallway dominating the front of the restaurant :D. Anyway, the sheer goodness of the food (and yes, it's a hot plate, NO that doesn't mean grab it! It's a frickin' voodoo mind trick with the hot plates..., not even a Jedi could get someone to not grab it after saying it's hot) is beyond words. Plus, it's got an arcade full of "classic games", and a waterfall and cave thingy, and stuff, and um, the roof kinda looks like a sky. Oh, and something more restaurants should do (only a few others have this system), the little flag you raise so you can actually summon the attention of a waiter fairly quickly.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
