Belem is a very good dude. I still feel bad that Muchas and I weren't able to meet up with him in Pasadena during the national championship game.

You can pay 11 bucks for a Big Mac meal in most places and its not good. Prices will rise but In and Out is good value for the quality of the food.
I like the Big Mac when it's fresh and made well, which is sadly rare. I still grab one once per year or so, but I have been shocked by how expensive they have gotten. Back in high school, the local McDonald's would typically have Big Macs 2for$2, and a buddy of mine and I would track how many we could eat in a month: the loser picked up the tab of the loser. It was good times, but my car always smelled like a McDonald's kitchen.
I like a good burger. In n out is fine. But, largely not present in my world, and not mind blowing. Of the chains, I like Culver’s.
Back in the day, the best chain burger I had was a Miami based store called Rudy’s. They lasted a while but went under. Great fries too.
Rudy's Sirloin SteakBurgers, I Miss That Place
Rudy's Sirloin SteakBurgers was a better burger restaurant founded by the same gentleman who brought the Wendy's chain to South Florida.

I never made it to Rudy's, but it reminds me of Steak 'n Shake. They had a good reputation when I was in college, but I recall the one location being way out in the middle of nowhere. I don't think that I have seen one in years.
One place I always stop when I see one is A&W. There is one out near Lake Mead that I typically visit after a hike. I am sure that I probably consume around 3000 calories from the self-serve root beer tap, but damn it hits the spot.

And with Stanford and Berkeley in the ACC now, we may even get some regular season games out here on the best coast. I think that we might try to make it back to Tallahassee for the Berkeley game this fall, and we are definitely going to the Miami game at Strawberry Creek.
I am really enjoying the realignment chaos so far. SC has a wild schedule and an unbelievable home slate this coming season.
I was planning on hitting the Stanford home game but I'm not sure we'll still be in the ACC by then.
I know! I have been joking about that with my partner: absurdly, FSU is now in the same conference with Berkeley and Stanford, but they are likely to leave before we ever get a regular season game in the Bay Area.
I haven’t seen an a&w in years maybe 15+. I like them too.
I first had in n out burger in San Jose I think. That was a long time ago. They’re in Austin now, which is where I’ve most recently had it.
That Texas distribution center was a long time in the making. I read that they plan to open a location in Nashville in a couple of years as the eastern terminus of that distribution network.
So we can all laugh at Stanford, I wanted to share that I just received an email from their athletics department begging me to buy season tickets for $125. Nah, Stanford, not when I can typically attend your home games for free just by waiting for you to induce me to attend any game with free tickets.
That’s great, congrats.
Hey my daughter is in her 3rd quarter at Santa Cruz and doing well.
That is awesome! Congratulations to both of you! That campus is absolutely stunning. The counseling center there is like a glass-enclosed treehouse. My partner's sister got one of her masters at Santa Cruz, and I always enjoyed visiting her there.
Lunch obtained. The three meals on the menu (Double Double, cheeseburger, hamburger) are $10.80, $9.00, and $8.50; respectively. I got a Double Double Animal Style, a hamburger + grilled onions, and two fries for $15.93.
Coincidentally, I dropped by the McDonald's across the street to compare. Big Mac meal is $10.48; 2 Cheeseburger meal is $8.79. The McDonald's had a "Now hiring starting at $20" sign. The In-N-Out's sign has been updated to say "starting at $25."
Yeah, I told her to enjoy her time there as it will be decades before she can afford to live there again.
$25 an hour at a fast food joint is unbelievable.
40 hour week $1,000k or $52k a year, right?
But you know what? Realistically it’s still not enough to live on in SoCal or many other urban settings. It’s still a high school kid or a retiree part time job.

We frequently joked in grad school and on postdoc that when we got fed up with the PIs, we could always quit and work at In-N-Out for much better pay, benefits, and working conditions. It wasn't really a joke.
