For a one-day tasting event (known to the horrific as a "pop-up"), In-N-Out, arguably California's best purveyors of hamburgers, opened a stand in Shanghai. As Serious Eats notes, "The menu at the tasting advertised some not-so-secret menu items and didn't have the full line up of drinks or fries, but otherwise looked similar to the regular menu." (No fair posting Animal Style! Is nothing sacred, God?)

Does this mean that California-based In-N-Out, who are super protective of their brand, will open a shop in China? Nope. It's all part of In-N-Out's plan to douse cold water on a clone restaurant, complete with same signage and menu, called CaliBurger.
