It's In-n-Out's 70th Anniversary Today!

http://www.ocregister.com/2018/10/2...n-n-out-burger-in-honor-of-its-70th-birthday/

>>The late celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain called In-N-Out Burger’s Double-Double a “perfectly designed protein delivery system.”


The ground-breaking fast food chain is also a delivery system for the California dream.


That could explain why In-N-Out has achieved cult status.


The fast food chain celebrates its 70th anniversary on Monday, Oct. 22. The first location, a tiny stand, opened its doors in Baldwin Park on Oct. 22, 1948.


In-N-Out will mark the occasion by releasing its 2019 T-shirt in restaurants on Monday, according to Denny Warnick, vice president of operations. And an official party will take place Nov. 17 at the Fairplex in Pomona in partnership with Hot Rod Magazine.

In-N-Out grew at the same time as Southern California’s freeway system and suburbs and, as “California’s first drive-thru,” is a part of California’s car culture.


In-N-Out is owned by the descendants of its founders, Harry and Esther Snyder, does not franchise and maintains a strategy of slow, deliberate growth. Its current president, Lynsi Synder, recently told Forbes she doesn’t foresee opening restaurants east of Texas.


It has 334 restaurants in six states, fewer than one for every 100 of the 36,000-plus McDonald’s locations worldwide. Yet it punches above its weight and has an international reputation. In its early years, it actually beat McDonald’s with some of its innovations, such as drive-thru speaker systems.

There was a big party at the Shrine Auditorium yesterday, it looked quite fancy!

This is cause for celebration! And it’s funny, I’ve been trying to convince myself NOT to be bad and go to In-N-Out this week, but now I have a legitimate reason. Thank you.

I have one within a mile of my house.

One key point about In-n-Out, it's pricing. All these other places they rave about are at least double the prices. And In-n'-Out treats and pays its employees better, plus does a lot of charity work.

The current campaign is for Slaves to Nothing, who deals with addicition problems. They are matching Three to one for all money dropped at the register or online at In-n'Out.

I was in Disneyland for one day on one of those cross-country teen tours in 1980. A kid I'd become friends with was wearing a t-shirt with an image of a certain plant leaf on it. You know. It wasn't a maple leaf! At the park entrance they made him turn his shirt inside-out in order to enter the park. I was always amused by that.

Now you can breast feed three year olds right in front of Cars Land.

I stood in front of a guy in line for Buzz on Sunday wearing this shirt.

They couldn't have been too happy with that either, but maybe they don't bother with stuff like that now. Not official merchandise, eh?

I actually heard him talking about it to someone else in line. Apparently security talked to him about it but he came prepared with their dress-code guidelines and wasn't technically violating any rules.
