Top Secret

Los Angelenos love their In-N-Out. Just ask those of us who have moved outside the California/Arizona/Nevada In-N-Out zone. They cry when they talk about it. Not just a little teary-eyed either. We're talking about open weeping here.

In a time rife with corporate take-overs and dominated by the interests of big business, In-N-Out remains in the hands of the family who originally started it, and they have no desire to franchise it or take it public.

In-N-Out was opened in 1948 in Baldwin Park by Esther and Harry Snyder. They felt that if the offered people sinple fresh food (no freezers or microwaves are involved) that was made to order that people would respond. Though it was 3 years before another In-N-Out opened, today there are over 140 locations.

The menu has remained the same since it opened, just hamburgers, double doubles, fries, shakes and sodas. But to those in the know, the chain has a lot more to offer.
