It’s A Camel – In Las Vegas – At The In-N-Out Drive Thru

Author Carla Rea

Only – In – Vegas! A camel – at a drive thru – gettin’ fries!

It is Las Vegas, after all, so you’re going to see some weird things when you’re here. At the Heart Attack Grill, you can get “bypass burgers” – if you get on the scale ad top 350 lbs, you can eat free. Siegfried and Roy made tigers disappear. And then there’s Carrot Top. (insert rimshot here)

Now a video has gone viral of a man stopping off at a Las Vegas In-N-Out drive-thru for French fries—with his camel (no that’s not code), named Fergie. Fries are the best, especially if you’ve been drinking – No, I’m not saying Fergie was doing bottle service at Hakkasan, but they are  good fries if you have been,

The guy who took Fergie the Camel – through the In-N-Out drive-thru, on a leash, to pick up an order of fries – is an animal handler. Fergie is a rescue camel that lives in the local sanctuary Jeffry’s Farm. And he loves to eat French fries.

People gathered to take pictures, but Fergie is used to paparazzi. 12-year-old Fergie is a star of the rescue sanctuary’s Instagram account, where her adventures have been documented since April.

Fergie likes fast food and has been seen at Wendy’s, and Einstein’s Bros. Bagels. Why In-N-Out? Her handler said  it’s because Fergie prefers regular french fries to curly ones. “They’re Fergie’s favorite,” he said.

In one video posted, Fergie sniffs the order as it’s handed over  – as if to verify it’s correct. The comments on Instagram are fun. Just Vegas things, wrote: “Animal style,” of course referring to an In-N-Out topping option.

For the record, It’s not Jeffry’s Farm Rescue’s first brush with viral fame. Back in 2016, Brandon Nobles, owner of Jeffry’s, offered a trial goat yoga class, with goats from the rescue. The class filled within a day! Nearly six years later, Nobles and his associates offer weekly goat yoga classes and a biweekly sunset class followed by a wine tasting. Proceeds support the rescue’s operations.

Best Fries In Las Vegas For National French Fry Day

It’s National French Fry Day on Wednesday! Crispy on the outside, mealy on the inside and fried to golden perfection.

French fries satisfy every facet of a junk food craving. Plus, it’s the quintessential summer-time food because its available in every medium.

From being packed in buckets, loaded with toppings or served as a companion to other food, fries make everything better,

Personally, some of our favorite French fry variations include carne asada fries, “animal-style” fries, kimchi fries and French fries seasoned with furikake (a Japanese seasoning) and wasabi mayo!

The French fry has evolved in presentation and intent, which seemingly reflects the changes in our culture. As we’ve progressed in time, so has the variations of the French fry.

However, the story behind how and when the French fry was created is murky at best.

“The fry is a daughter of street cooking,” culinary historian Madeleine Ferrière told Le Monde. “That’s why it’s so hard to establish its birth certificate.”

The history behind the French fry remains uncertain because, “it’s hard to know whether written references to fried potatoes refer to deep-fried lengths of potato, or rather to rounds sautéed in a pan with butter,” an article by the British Broadcast Channel states.

But in the 20th century, French fries appeared in writing in a Belgian guide called “The Traité d’économie domestique et d’hygiène (Treatise on Domestic Economy and Hygiene),” according to the BBC.

This was one of the first written records of French fries being mentioned. And although the origin of the French fry is disputed, we’re just thankful that this delectable cuisine exists.

From being the perfect comfort food to also being the perfect pairing to luxurious steaks and more, we’re writing this article as an ode to the lovely French fry.

Here are some places for the BEST French fries in Las Vegas. Many of our listeners recommended these spots to us, so sit back and enjoy.
