One man has found an easy way to create a hamburger salad with ingredients from burger chain In-N-Out to satisfy the stomach while keeping the wallet happy.
In his video that has drawn over 35,000 views, TikTok user Joshua Mileham (@themilehams) says a version of a salad can be had from In-N-Out for under $5.
“The Flying Dutchman is only $4.65,” he says in the video. “They do not charge you for your sides, so you get grilled onions, chilies, lettuce and spread. Then I also got fries. Here is my ‘salad.’ How much was your salad? $16? Guess how much my salad was? $4.65.”
He explains, “So I got my Flying Dutchman, which is just two patties and cheese. All my sides of lettuce; I got my grilled onions, got your chopped chilies, and now you could even have tomato but I don’t like tomato. You’ve got your Flying Dutchman and then you’ve got your thousand island—well, better than thousand island. This is as pretty as I can make it, so here we go. I always thought a hamburger was a salad.”
Does In-N-Out have salads on its menu?
While many fast food operations have added salads and “healthier” options to their menus, In-N-Out does not have a true salad on its menu.
The method shown in the video is pretty close to getting customers of the restaurant a salad, even if they were not expressly looking for a less expensive one.
What about the secret menu? Nope, there is no salad option listed on the restaurant’s well-publicized official secret menu, either.
Viewers weigh in
Some viewers pointed out that there might be an easier way to order this kind of item at In-N-Out, referring to the protein style burger on the restaurant’s “secret” menu.
“If you ask for a protein-style burger it’s the same,” one commenter wrote.
“Just get a burger protein style,” another commenter wrote.
Others refuted the idea that it was a salad to start with.
“That’s a messy lettuce wrap not a salad,” one commenter wrote.
“Wouldn’t call that a salad,” another commenter wrote.
“Bro, that’s just a burger with extra steps,” a commenter wrote.
