The moment I walked into In-N-Out Burger, it was impossible to ignore their straightforward approach to dining. With a menu centered on burgers and fries, it was easy to see that they were devoted to doing a few things exceptionally well. And they certainly could accommodate my late breakfast, lunch, or dinner cravings.
With deep roots dating back to 1948, In-N-Out Burger is the brainchild of the dynamic duo, Harry and Esther Snyder. I couldn’t help but admire the entrepreneurial spirit of this couple while quietly munching away on my Double-Double Burger. Establishing their first restaurant in charming Baldwin Park, California, this family-owned venture has expanded to 358 locations, primarily in California and the Southwest. I felt a wave of nostalgia when I found out that they pioneered the concept of drive-through restaurants in California, including their innovative use of the 2-way speaker box.
