  • In-N-Out is a beloved and iconic chain steeped in fast food lore. Lost LA host Nathan Masters shares a meal with Los Angeles Times journalist Stacy Perman to talk about its birthplace, located on Route 66 in the San Gabriel Valley city of Baldwin Park, California. So grab a double-double and some animal style fries, and join them to discover how In-N-Out's humble beginnings as a burger stand on a tiny plot of land led to an invention that influenced our modern-day drive-thrus. You'll even find out what the little-known link to Carl's Jr. @CarlsJr is!

    Who knew the founders of In-N-Out were the pioneers behind the concept of the drive-through. It's a remarkable achievement that unfortunately was not patented.

      Families where 4 generations enjoyed their burgers knew. Sadly, probably can't patent a drive thru window, or roller skate delivery of burgers or ... but they remain oh, so good!😋😋😋

      Don't believe you can patent a process in the method of sales. Might be wrong. They pioneered it and continue to be the pinnacle of service in time taken in line for order taken till time served.

      @@timotheegoulet1511 Harry Snyder is not credited with the invention of the drive-through restaurant; rather, his innovation lies in the creation of the two-way speaker system which he could in fact have patented.
      In 1921, Kirby's Pig Stand introduced the drive-in restaurant, in which carhops delivered meals. In 1931, a California Pig Stand franchise introduced a drive-through service that bypassed the carhops. The first identified drive through restaurant was established in 1947 at Red's Giant Hamburg located in Springfield, Missouri. *A year later in 1948, Harry and Esther Snyder of the In-N-Out Burger chain built a drive-through restaurant, featuring a two-way speaker system that Harry Snyder invented himself earlier that year.* By the 1970s, drive-through service had replaced drive-in restaurants in the United States.

    I had a friend that worked for the company as their travel coordinator, mostly for the family but corporate, too. He was sworn to secrecy. Glad he got a job doing his line of work as it was right when people really didn't need travel agents because of the internet allowing people to make their own travel arrangements.

    What's not to like at in-n-out? Friendly service, clean building, great tasting food, and reasonable prices. I like to eat on the patio, and an employee will always ask if everything is ok. Carl's Jr was pretty good until Carl died. Quality went down, prices went up. In-n-out is as good as ever!

    Interesting, that Carl's Jr had a connection to in and out. both are run with Christian influence. and that when In and out had a e.coli outbreak, both had paid attention to the source of their beef to improve their quality, and Carl's jr told In and out what they did to make sure it doesn't show up in their meat. and Paris Hilton advertise for Carl's jr, but loves in and out.
    that said, it is horrible how a democrat congressman try to start a boycott to demand In and Out to donate more money to Democrats, even though In and out Donates more to Democrats than Republicans.
    oh, and my parents only eat In and out, and Habit.
