Down-and-out to In-N-Out
The Buckeyes are getting more free time than on previous bowl trips to Arizona, and for some players that means more time for In-N-Out Burger.
The cult hamburger stand began in California but has expanded into the Phoenix area the last decade.
The menu includes the double-double - two beef patties and two strips of cheese - and the triple-triple. (You can guess.)
“Two years ago, I got the triple burger,” linebacker Marcus Freeman said.
“This year, I’m trying to watch what I eat. I just got a single. (A triple is) too many calories for me.”
Nader Abdallah, senior defensive tackle: “I get the double-double. I tried it out two days ago. I was pretty good.”
A.J. Trapasso, senior punter: “The double-double, animal style.”
Animal style?
“They just dump all the rest of the grease and butter and cheese and whatever else on the fries. It’s good. I don’t crave it like some of these guys. I’m more of a burrito guy,” Trapasso said.
There is an In-N-Out not far from the Buckeyes’ workout facility at Pinnacle High School, and it is within easy driving distance from the team hotel, the Scottsdale Princess Resort.
Not all of the Buckeyes will visit, however.
“I have a strict diet over here. I’m sticking to the salads and stuff,” buff linebacker James Laurinaitis said.
“If I’m going there, I’m getting a water.”
