Controversy

In-N-Out 'Monkey Style' Burger

On June 28, 2013, a video was uploaded to Foodbeast's YouTube channel entitled "Ordering a Monkey Style Burger from In-N-Out." The video depicted the Foodbeast founder in an In-N-Out drive-thru ordering what he claims is a Monkey Style burger, a hamburger topped with the chain's Animal Style fries (cheese, grilled onions and spread). This resulted in many patrons trying to order their burger Monkey Style. [7] [8]

"There is no such thing," Carl Van Fleet, a vice president at In-N-Out Burger, said in a statement. "For a variety of reasons, we're unable to prepare burgers in the manner that a few websites have described as 'monkey style.' " [8]

CBS covered the story in a late-night piece, with their KCAL9 team asking Ayrouth "if he tried to create a hoax by simply putting an order of fries on top of a burger." KCAL9 states that he did not respond. [9]
