STA TRAVEL To Southern California’s In-N-Out[ devotees, bunless burgers are old h h nlnin By Daisy Nguyen THE ASSOCIATED PRESS College SCaeion (979) 696.5077 STUDENT TRAVEL & BEYOND mum LOS ANGELES — As one fast-food behemoth after another jumps on the bun less burger bandwagon, devotees of a small Southern California-based chain of drive- through eateries are taking some pride in saying, "We told you so.” Patrons of In-N-Out Burger have been ordering high-protein, low-carbohydrate hamburgers wrapped in lettuce for more than 30 years. "In fact, it was customers who gave it the name ’protein style,”’ said Carl Van Fleet, the company’s vice president of planning. They also created it, in a sense, when they began requesting it in the early 1970s, Van Fleet said. And although you won’t find the protein-style burger listed on any of the white, billboard-like menu signs at In-N- Out’s 181 restaurants in California, Nevada and Arizona, all you have to do is ask.

The protein-style burger is part of the "secret menu” that has developed over the years as the privately held chain of restau rants has strived to accommodate its cus tomers’ fondness for customized food. (Another entry on the secret menu is the "animal-style” burger, a beef patty cooked in mustard with grilled onions, pickles and an extraJielping of a secret “special sauce.”) It is the protein-style that’s ge tion these days, however, as the rush to roll out lettuce-wrapped burgi an increasingly health-conscious gi of fast-food consumers.
