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.
Arnold Schwarzenegger did last year
during a campaign stop at a central
California In-N-Out Burger, and got it done
his way.
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
