In-N-Out Style Burger Bar complete with Animal Style Sauce recipe will be the best party you host all year long! Show guests how to stack the perfect burger!
Update- Reposting this post as we just added a fun new video!
Well, this post was supposed to go up a few days before the 4th of July. But, we all know how that goes!!! I thought I would share it with y'all anyway, since summer weekend grilling parties are still happening!
My husband and I are thinking about moving out-of-state. The sunshine tax here in California is getting to be too much, especially when the sun can't even get through this damn marine layer!!!
However, moving out-of-state would mean no more In-N-Out or fresh Mexican food! So please excuse me while I test out recipes to guarantee I have mastered them while I am still local and can cross reference the flavors.
So, first up, Animal Style Spread. I thought it would be fun to put together a whole In-N-Out Style burger bar at a bbq, complete with vanilla, chocolate and strawberry milkshakes. Everyone loved it!
As you can see, I added a menu with different styles. I had a small condiment area with ketchup, mustard, mayo, "secret sauce" and grilled onions in which guests could make their burgers however they pleased.
Or, they could go a bit more crazy and do "Monkey Style" which is a traditional cheese burger with the standard ketchup, mayo and mustard, but topped with a spoonful of animal style fries. This one was of course my favorite!
If you're looking to make your summer BBQ over the top and fun, try this burger bar out!!! Anyone who has ever been to In-N-Out will love it!!!
I have provided the recipes for Animal Style Sauce, Animal Style Fires, and Grilled Onions.
Thank you to the amazing Emily for helping me set this up and photograph it! I can't wait to formally introduce her, as she is going to become a gluten-free contributor on the blog!!!!
I've updated this post to include a recipe video, but please note, the ingredient amounts were halved as it was not for a "party post".

What a clever & fun party setup! The burgers looks scrumptious.
PS... I hope you don't leave CA, but I totally understand.Reply

Usually I do the food setup and my mother does the table decor, but she was unavailable that week. So not my best work, but fun nonetheless! If I leave, I will have a big going away party...and you better come!!!

I want to come to your parties! I'm drooling from all these pics. Unfortunately, we don't have any In-N-Out's here in Florida. Who needs them though when you can make all this!

I'm writing to thank you for this amazing recipe. I made the animal fries tonight, and they were amazing! The only thing I did differently was to chop up dill pickles and fried fresh potatoes and used Kraft singles. Thanks again!

Love the recipes! Thanks! This might be a silly question, but what kind of paper are you wrapping the burgers in? Something about it that reminds a lot of us of the good ole days at hometown burger joints. I think it would be fun to wrap up burgers and such at parties. Thanks!
