WOW, a friend has just told me about this

"96th St. Burgers, in Plainfield and on the North Side is In-n-Out. The owner couldn't bring In-n-Out past the Miss River so he named it something new, go enjoy!"

Next time I'm in Indy, I'll definitely be stopping by there. I haven't had In-N-Out in forever.

If he couldn't get the licensing for the name... how is he able to get the franchize materials (food ingredients etc.)?

I questioned this myself... I'm still going to go and give it a shot next time I'm in Indy.

I guess that its a possibility (though, unlikely) that they would let a previous franchize owner try it under an alias and see how it would work? I dunno.

I know theres a place up there that has burgers people talk about, but it is something involving steakburgers kinda like steak n shake.

I visited 96th St. Steakburgers the other day to confirm this. While there were similarities, it was no more than 60% similar to In-n-Out. I think the guy took the In-n-Out concept and tried to put his own spin on it. I have no problem with this, but as for calling it an In-n-Out, this cannot be done.

So, how do you rate it?

Worth the stop if in indy?

The burgers are quality, yet quite less value than that of In-n-Out. Prices are higher and food is about 80% as good. Milkshakes, IMO, are their best asset. If you are looking for good food, I'd just stop next door at Chipotle instead, but if you're in the mood for burgers, it will suffice.

	The basis of our governments being the opinion of the people, the very first object should be to keep that right; and were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers, or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter. But I should mean that every man should receive those papers and be capable of reading them.
