For better or worse, In-N-Out Burger is the one fast food that seems to ignite debate more than any other.
Is it overrated? Is it even good to begin with? Is it better than this place? Is it better than that place? Does In-N-Out have the worst fries?
Here, let me answer those questions: No, yes, probably, probably, no.
But just when you think there couldn’t be any more to debate about the popular Southern California-based burger chain, UFC featherweight Cub Swanson is out here adding fuel to the fire with a new one. Because here he is turning his In-N-Out double-double (with grilled onions) into a … taco?
Yup, a taco. Take a look at this (via Twitter):

The natural question to ask ourselves: Is this good?
Or first of all, why would Swanson do this to an already perfect food item like the In-N-Out double-double? When I asked for the backstory, “Goze” shed some light about a recent interview with him on MMA Junkie Radio.
“On the show, we were talking about cutting weight and food. Cub has weird eating habits. When he goes to In-N-Out, he brings his own peppers, bacon and stuff like that. Then he adds it to his burger.
“So on the show we asked him if he was gonna do that again, and he said he was gonna take it a step further and take all the ingredients from a double-double and throw it in a taco. After we vomited, we all laughed about it, but we didn’t think he was serious.”
Taking his own secret menu with him to In-N-Out? Bold move by Swanson.
Back to the question at hand: Is an In-N-Out taco good?
I mean, I love In-N-Out, and I love tacos, but I don’t know about this. I guess in theory it could taste good? Essentially, all Swanson did here was chop up the burger, replace the buns with a tortilla and add a touch of Mexican flavor with the guacamole and what appears to be Cotija cheese. It’s either genius or gross as hell, and I’m not sure which.
Am I seriously gonna have to try it? Fine, I will.
