TORONTO - Popular American fast-food joint In-N-Out Burger will live up to its name in Toronto.
For just four hours on Thursday, staff from the family-owned chain will be serving up its famous fare at an east-end pop-up lunch service.
In-N-Out will take over Italian restaurant Osteria dei Ganzi, at 504 Jarvis St., between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m.
“Based on Toronto’s burger culture, I expect a lot of people to call in sick to work to be able to swing by,” said Dan Gunam, a partner at Ganzi.
He’ll be on hand to pass out wristbands to local foodies in the morning and expects the line might start as early as 8 a.m.
Customers will get to choose from three In-N-Out options: A hamburger, a cheeseburger or a double-double (two patties with two slices of cheese).
Orders can be customized with the two of the eatery’s not-so secret menu options: “Protein style,” in which the bun is replaced by lettuce, or “animal style” — patties cooked in mustard and garnished with pickles and grilled onions.
Gunam doesn’t expect the southern California-based chain to open up shop in Toronto any time soon. Despite its popularity — In-N-Out has around 300 locations in the U.S. — the eatery has resisted franchising.
