In-N-Out Burger
In-N-Out Burger: A Behind-the-Counter Look at the Fast-Food Chain That Breaks All the Rules | Stacy Perman
4 posts | 3 read | 2 to read
This book grills up an enjoyable read for both avid foodies and novice diners alike! Permans sneak peek into the fascinating history of In-N-Out is as good as the delicious burgers themselves. Mario Batali, celebrity chef and author of Molto Italiano A behind-the-counter look at the fast-food chain that breaks all the rules, Stacy Permans In-N-Out Burger is the New York Times bestselling inside story of the family behind the California-based hamburger chain with a cult following large enough to rival the Grateful Deads. A juicy unauthorized history of a small business-turned-big business titan, In-N-Out Burger was named one of Fast Company magazines Best Business Books of 2009, and Fortune Small Business insists that it should be required reading for family business owners, alongside Rich Cohens Sweet and Low and Thomas Manns Buddenbrooks.

So Harry Snyder, who founded In-N-Out, prided himself on being a “shrewd judge of a person‘s character,” and only hired staff who met his “high standards.” Yet he refused to hire women for 30 years because he believed having female employees would encourage the men to “grab ass.” Trying to figure out how that translates into “staff with good character" is making my brain hurt. ?

AlaMich That is a brain-breaker, for sure! 🙄 5y
MicheleinPhilly Meh. Shake Shack is better anyway. ☺️ 5y
LoverofLit Wow....crazy. We don't have any of those in the Midwest USA and I guess I'm ok with that. 5y

Amiable @AlaMich Right? That's a convoluted logic for sure. 🙄 5y

The nearest In-N-Out Burger location is about 2,500 miles from me so I've never had one, but what the heck --I'm always up for a quirky nonfiction read.

Stacy_31 In and Out is amazing!! Although we go frequently, I've never known the background story. Stacking! 5y
Amiable @Stacy_31 People rave about those burgers--at some point I will have to get on a plane and go get one! 😀 5y
MoMogrl There are none near me. Somehow I've been to California three times and never had it. 5y
Amiable @MoMogrl I actually lived in Southern California for 3 months in the mid-80s, and I never had it, either! 😀 5y

Took a #24in48 break to have burgers and fries and a Target stop for some gifts - it‘s the 5yo‘s last week of preschool and he wanted to give a little something to his classmates. And now back to The Kiss Quotient! How‘s your day been?

tracey38 Well, first half of the day was waiting for the power company to restore power from the storms (lost power at 6am), so I finished one book. Power came on about 1:30 and I showered, did laundry, and once again sitting down to start a new book. 6y

Haven't done much reading today. We spent the day at Shoreline Park, paddle boating, walking, and picnicking In-N-Out style with burgers, fries and milkshakes

BeckyD That looks so good. We don't have any near here. 6y
Skyrimir One was supposed to open near me, but there‘s been something with the lease and they can‘t actually build for a few years. I was so sad! 6y
LisaJo As a CA native, now living in AL, my mouth drools just looking at other peeps In-N-Out Burgers pics. In-N-Out, In-N-Out that‘s what the hamburgers all about. (edited) 6y

Cupofjo Love in-n-out!! 6y
Leftcoastzen AZ has In-N-Out , and for that I am grateful! 6y
Reader24601 Man, I remember so much fun times there when I used to live there back in '06-'09! Your post reminded me how much I miss that beautiful area... 6y
FountainBookstore We have no In-N-Out.🙁 🍔 6y
FountainBookstore You can't throw a brick without hitting a Krispy Kreme, though! I only treat myself about every 2 years, but it's good to know I have the option for hot glazed any time I need it. The drive thru line is always mobbed, so I'm sure my infrequent patronage is not harming them much. 🍩 6y
Peddler410 We are in Chicago but love visits to the west coast for our In-N-Out burger fix. 6y
Shauna1 I miss those burgers! 6y
