Lynsi Snyder-Ellingson, the famously private owner of In-N-Out Burger, had a call with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis this week after the company's high-profile spat with Bay Area health departments over proof-of-vaccination requirements.
DeSantis press secretary Christina Pushaw said that Snyder-Ellingson and the governor had a "productive conversation" on Monday about In-N-Out possibly expanding to Florida. DeSantis, whose hands-off approach to the pandemic has made him a serious 2024 presidential candidate, is one of the country's most visible proof-of-vaccination opponents. Florida law currently bars companies or government entities from requiring proof of vaccination from customers.
In-N-Out entered the national discourse over COVID-19 policy when a company executive said the chain will "refuse to become the vaccination police for any government" and locations in San Francisco and Contra Costa counties suspended indoor dining.
Pushaw said one possible barrier to expansion that came up on the call was the fact that the suppliers of all of In-N-Out's ingredients are based on the West Coast. There are no In-N-Outs farther east than Texas.
"Florida also has some of the best farms and cattle ranches in the country, and the governor discussed this with the president of In-n-Out," Pushaw wrote. "If they can identify suppliers for all their ingredients here, which we believe is possible, In-n-out could expand to Florida. Governor DeSantis is willing to help with this and would welcome this great company to Florida, the best state to do business."

EVERY single In and Out in Ca. has an ENORMOUS line at it every minute of every damn day!! I would absolutely HATE to be a cook there, it NEVER STOPS!! NEVER any down time!! Those guys work their asses off!!
In+Out uses whole potatoes sliced/dropped into the fryer. The fries are all potato. You may have become used to frozen fries that have various coatings (usually carbs) that impart an artificial "crispiness".
To each his own fries but I love me some In+Out double double w fries.
Come to Florida Lynsi!
Imagine that, Fireone and In N Out both moving to Florida! This will be a good move!

I live in the suburbs of Tampa - there are fields with cows EVERYWHERE.
All the cattle does not have to be ranched in FLA.
It could be regional cattle ranching in near by states.
Ranks up there with NE OK ranch land!!
Don’t tell AOC!
She’ll complain about cow farts and prattle on about her non-existent myth of “climate change.”
Just head out Rt. 70, towards Okeechobee heading west. You will see many cattle ranches plenty of cattle grazing.
There are small cattle operations all over my neck of northeast Florida. They graze cattle on any bit of free land in between subdivisions. The old timers have made a fortune selling land to developers.
...and that's why they're not on the East Coast, especially the Northeast; East Coasters will tolerate crappy fast food. Part of it is that they have so many mom and pop options, part of it is so many foreigners, and part of it is apathy.
