Things You Didn't Know About In-N-Out's Double Double
BY Ayomari
The Origin
The Double-Double burger landed on In-N-Out's menu in 1966 as the brainchild of company executive Robert Lang Sr. It was introduced at a new location in California.
He came up with the name in response to a growing number of customers requesting an extra patty and slice of cheese. It's one of the most celebrated contributions of his legacy.
Bible Verse On Wrapper
In-N-Out has deep religious roots, and it's woven into the fabric of the family business. Even the cups and wrappers here have Bible verses printed on them.
The Double-Double's wrapper has scripture Nahum 1:7 from the Old Testament, which reads, "The Lord is good, a refuge in times of trouble. He cares for those who trust in him."
100% Ground Chuck
In-N-Out patties only use 100% ground chuck. It only comes from chuck steak, a primal cut near the shoulder muscle, where the connective tissue is denser.
It's also higher in fat and collagen and packs a lot of flavor. It's ideal for hamburgers because it holds its shape better than regular ground and retains more juice.
Prince Harry's Favorite
Prince Harry has a well-documented love for California's decked-out burger. He revealed to People that his go-to In-N-Out order is Double-Double.
His favorite order consists of two Double-Doubles made animal style, french fries, and a Coke. He and Markle fell in love with In-N-Out after relocating to California in 2020.
Gordon Ramsay's Go-To
Ramsay is a fan of In-N-Out. In a Mythical Kitchen YouTube video, he told chef Josh Scherer that a Double-Double animal style would be his ideal last meal.
In the video, the celebrity chef also expressed appreciation for the chain's use of fresh, locally sourced ingredients and its customer-friendly drive-thru.
