In-and-Out Burger: A Behind-the-Counter Look at the Fast-Food Chain
that Breaks all the Rules
By Stacy Perman
People native to the mid-west and the east coast may have
only heard of the phenomenon that is In-and-Out Burger, an independent chain so
revered that an In-and-Out food trailer comes to the Oscars via the Vanity Fair
party. Others, though, remember the first time they tasted a freshly-made,
juicy burger from In-and-Out.
Perman sifts through available documents and
interviews those with knowledge of the private company to craft a
mouth-watering, informative narrative about In-and-Out Burger. On one level this
title is a page-turner complete with a love story, family heartache, and
entrepreneurial spirit. When one digs deeper, many additional layers are found.
From the manner in which employees are treated to the company’s commitment to
using fresh, high-quality ingredients, much can be gleaned from the business
practices used by In-and-Out Burger. Those with an interest in the food
industry or the business world need to make time to savor this book.
For more information about the company’s official and
un-official menu and their history, go the official In-and-Out Burger website,
