If you’re in California, you already know: In-N-Out reigns supreme. But what if you don’t have one nearby—or just want to experiment with a fast-food mashup? A viral TikTok video featuring Jersey Mike’s version of the Double Double might be the next best thing. It’s got everything that makes In-N-Out iconic, just in the classic Jersey Mike’s sandwich form.
Essentially, you order a No. 43 and load it up with In-N-Out-style toppings: lettuce, tomato, grilled onions, peppers, and cheese. Toast the bun, and you’ve got yourself a mashup that feels both familiar and fresh. Even if you’ve never had In-N-Out, this Jersey Mike’s hack still hits. It’s indulgent, satisfying, and surprisingly balanced for something born out of TikTok experimentation.

Turning a Cheesesteak Into a Double Double
Start with the No. 43 Chipotle Cheesesteak. It comes with grilled onions, peppers, white American cheese, and chipotle mayo. In this viral TikTok video, the creator gets it on rosemary parmesan bread—a herby, flavorful upgrade from In-N-Out’s standard white burger bun. While In-N-Out doesn’t use banana peppers or chipotle mayo, this remix just works. The smokiness from the mayo complements the tangy peppers and cheesy steak perfectly.
The comments say it all. One user wrote, “Just ordered this on the app. I’ve never had In-N-Out before but this was absolutely delicious. FLAVURRRR.” Another joked, “Opens TikTok, immediately runs to Jersey Mike’s.” And plenty of others are calling for Jersey Mike’s to make it official—“They need to put this on the menu because it would sell!! WE ALL WANT IT!”
In a YouTube short, a Jersey Mike’s employee takes it up a notch with a DIY Thousand Island-style sauce made from mayo, chipotle mayo, ketchup, cherry pepper relish, and a drizzle of honey mustard. The result is a spicy, creamy, and slightly sweet sauce that’s a worthy copycat of In-N-Out’s signature spread. Best of all, these toppings are free, so you’re not stuck paying extra for the full experience. You can ask for this combo in-store or type it in the special instructions box when ordering online.

Double Down on the Double Double
If you want to take this hack even further, try asking for your sandwich to be mustard-grilled. At In-N-Out, that means grilling the patty with mustard spread on one side to create a tangy, caramelized crust. At Jersey Mike’s, you can mimic the idea by asking the staff to spread mustard on the bread or before toasting or mixed with the steak. That sharp, savory flavor brings balance to the creamy chipotle mayo and the vinegary pop of banana peppers.
You can also customize your own “secret menu” version. Add pickles for crunch, bacon for a smoky edge, or extra steak for a protein-packed bite. Feeling bold? Ask for portobello mushrooms or a gluten-free bun—both options that In-N-Out doesn’t offer. These upgrades do cost extra, but everything's made to order, so you can adjust the build without losing the spirit of the Double Double. Even if you're nowhere near this regional sandwich chain, you can pull off a California burger classic with a few creative changes.
