A chef at NYC restaurant Lure claims he’s uncovered the secret of what makes the burgers at West Coast burger joint In-N-Out burger so tasty.

According to Josh Capon, he snuck backstage at an In-N-Out during a trip to Las Vegas and picked up some tips that he now uses on the burger he serves at Lure.

The key, says Capon is this: After you throw the patty on the grill, slather the uncooked side with Dijon mustard before you flip it. He says that the mustard flavor will cook off, but the process enhances the flavor of the beef.

If anyone tries this over the weekend, feel free to let us know the results.

    I’ve had In-N-Out Burger once, didn’t even know it was a big deal until I returned home from California. I know being there one time doesn’t make me an expert, but I wasn’t impressed that much. Sure, it was nice to eat a burger that didn’t taste like McDonalds/Burger King, etc, but I didn’t think it was anything to write home about.

    It wasn’t that busy (most of the tables were filled, but not all, maybe 3 to 4 people in each line) but the staff couldn’t handle it. This was in L.A. and I imagine one of the busier locations.

    Definitely a decent place, but if the wait is like that all the time, not worth the frustration.

    Let’s see:

    1) In n’ Out has mice print on their cups and bags that feature Biblical text. You don’t even see it unless you randomly read the bottom of your cup.

    2) Whataburger has gigantic painted slogans on all their windows about God and the United States:

    But you refer to In n’ Out, not Whataburger, as being a Christian culty kind of place?

      I quit them 2 years ago when I found out they were pushing their religion on to me. Preach not lest thou be preached at!

    I think Mr. Capon didn’t realize he was watching them prepare an ‘animal style’ burger.
