I have to presume that someone else is actually running the business. Otherwise, she would likely have run it into the ground by now.

The real genius behind this company’s success was the Snyder son who was killed in a private jet crash due to air turbulence from the large passenger jet in front of it as it approached John Wayne Airport in Orange County, CA.

As to the burgers, this former East Coast resident, now a 47 year resident of CA, thinks these burgers are OK but no great shakes. The fact that native Californians are head over heels in love with these burgers is mystifying.

We lived in CA. DH is native Californian and loves In-N-Out. As for me... not a fan.

I had an overnight transit at LAX, sought out an I&O burger and was underwhelmed.

On a recent trip to Texas we saw an I&O in San Antonio. We stopped in thinking perhaps the one near LAX was having a bad day.

I’ve had my last one.

The burgers are good, mainly because of their fresh vegetables, toasted buttered buns and still sizzling meats.
The hamburgers have a very distinctive aroma, found only at that restaurant, just as McDonald’s burgers have a distinctive texture and aroma. However, the In & Out fries are a big nothing. The fries taste like deep fried corrugated card board. After ordering them one time, I no longer order them ever. I get my fries from McDonald or KFC.

Two last notes; This woman looks a lot like one of The Donald’s daughters. The daughter of who he named the Mar-Largo
Resort after.

The heiress of In& Out Burger gives me the impression that she’s very lonely. I would think that the stuff she’s talking about, relationship problems, would usually be shared with another woman friend. Maybe when you get that rich, a good friend is more valuable than the biggest diamond, and twice as rare.
Lisa Marie Presley seems to have lived the same sort of life.

I read long ago that she left all of the people who ran IN N OUT in place when she took over.

I agree that there is nothing special about the burgers, although they are not bad. But if I recall correctly from a couple of recent visits to California, the price makes them a pretty good deal.

There’s no msg or fillers etc. it’s just real potatoes, fried. You see them peel and cut the potatoes! The burgers are plain and good with those grilled onions. So many cool things are not on the meds and it’s our little inside thing. Animal style protein style with a lemon up, you can’t get that anywhere. Not intense tasting, not fancy. But it will not ever make you sick. And there’s the memory thing, remembering them from high school etc. Definitely the cleanest, best prepared fast food around.

What I find mystifying are East Coasters in nirvana over Shake Shack.

They opened a location in Santa Monica. Like revenge, served cold. And nothing special.

For the price, In’N Out is quite good.

Much better burgers exist but for much more money.

Carl’s Jr was by far the best when I moved to CA in the 60s. In-N-Out is just okay by comparison.
