While Anthony Bourdain highlighted the beef as a reason for his love of In-N-Out Burger, he also argued that the other burger components are major strengths, too. He noted the need for a "decent bun" and felt that In-N-Out's classic, spongy-but-sturdy bun checked that box. After all, they're soft and squishy with a hint of sweetness while managing to hold together after absorbing grease. He also called out the lettuce for being "non-limp" and "fresh" — fairly self-explanatory, since nobody particularly loves soggy salad greens. The fact that In-N-Out makes its burgers to order likely helps keep this problem at bay.

Finally there's the cheese: Bourdain noted that "you don't want fancy cheese" on a burger, instead praising the "cheese-like substance" from In-N-Out. For the record, that's a no-fuss American cheese that's been praised for its tangy, gooey qualities.
If you're wondering how Bourdain ordered his burger, he went for Animal Style, which adds in pickles, grilled onions, and extra sauce. He loved it so much he declared it his favorite restaurant in Los Angeles (though he also described French restaurants Petit Trois and the now-closed Trois Mec as "perfect," too). To that end, he said he'd go directly to In-N-Out when he landed in Los Angeles, and again on his way back to the airport.
