Just trust me...

What do y'all think about In-N-Out coming to the valley? I've never eaten there, so my only opinion on this matter is that every time I have driven by one, the line is always so damn long. No one is actually "in and out"... It's more like "Wait-N-Wait" lol just sayin

Thanks for reading!

With love from Boise,
