IN-N-OUT BURGER - CALIFORNIA’S GOLD (146)

Huell takes us on an hour-long California’s Gold special which looks at the history of In-N-Out Burger. This is the first time television cameras have ever been allowed to shoot inside a store. And this special also includes an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour of the In-N-Out Headquarters in Baldwin Park where it all started back in 1948.

I worked at In-N-Out while in college. I knew two of these guys really well. Bob was my Divisional Manager and Chuck used to do QFC (Quality, Freshness, & Cleanliness) while I worked there. They were really good people and In-N-Out really taught me a lot about really working hard for your money. I would definitely recommend working there.

My grandfather lived, grew up & graduated high school in Los Angeles, California, back in the 1940’s. So - my family knew and always heard all about In-N-Out Burger. My father and grandfather would always stop and take us to In-N-Out for a meal when we would travel & vacation in Southern California, whether it was during a visit to Disneyland or hanging out at Newport Beach, Laguna Beach or taking in a Dodgers game at Dodger Stadium. We finally welcomed our first In-N-Out Store, here in Las Vegas, NV on West Sahara Avenue, back in 1992. We still enjoy & continue to frequent In-N-Out, at least once a month and are life long customers. God bless the Synder Family and the entire In-N-Out team.

I have this on DVD, it is very special to me because I was born in BP, born on Francisquito, 2 blocks away from store # 1 that years later I worked at. I was blessed to have relationships with alot of people in this video. Most of us love In-N-Out, but to some of us its more than a good Burger. Esther was a living Angel. I have lots of Amazing Memories from my In-N-Out Days.. We are very proud of Lyndsay for making her family proud. Huell Howser was an incredible Man, I still watch alot of his documentary on youtube, definitely California Gold..❤ I can write way more, but its time to get ready for work so for now I digress... Much Love ✌🏼

Whenever I return from a business trip, I stop by my local In-N-Out. IMHO, White Castle and Five Guys just don’t compare. Does anyone remember when the fries used to be served with the skins still on?

[@edwardmartinez3634]

I was raised in BP and ate at In-N -Out #1. I moved to Sacramento in 1985. Around 1990 Fresno opened that In-N-Out. A Sacramento morning Rock radio DJ that used to be from LA , made the announcement over the radio of the restaurants Fresno opening 1 month away. He spoke of how much he loved In-N-Out, his experiences and was going to the Fresno opening. At that time that was the closest In-N-Out to Sacramento, 4 hours each way. Ex LA people from Sacramento chimed in to the station as they wanted to go and tag along also to the Fresno opening. Instead a Commuter van was suggested. Instead of a van to travel in, enough interest for 2 buses maxed out went on that In-N-Out Urge run! Locals from Sacramento could not understand what the fuss was over that bus trip and the burgers. I believe there are now 5 In-N-Outs in the Sacramento area. The ultimate In-N-Out run!

[@hadrianrobles4279]

I agree! Unlike franchises, family holdings care for their employees and keep originality. The best lesson of "In and out" is it adjusts to the changing time while keeping its originality. Which is a bonus.

Back in the 80's they had In-N-Out Burger bumper stickers but, they stopped making them because a lot of people cut the sticker to read In-N-Out urge. Being they put a bible verse on their cups it didn't quite fit in with their message. I don't eat fast food as much as I used to but, In-N-Out is one of the best IMO.

Lots of memories at the original In-N-Out. After our Friday night football games in the early 80’s we would congregate in the parking lot. The football players with their BP letterman jackets & cheer leaders would show up as well. Those were the days. 30 years later my late boyfriend had went to Bonita HS with the Snider boys. Told me some interesting stories. RIP Huell.

[@garystrittmater8258]

In and Out Burgers are a force to be reckoned with! I've worked for Burger King as a youth and they were nothing like this. McDonald's certainly has more stores but the mediocre at best quality of their food and the fact you use a kiosk to order which I feel ruins a lot of the atmosphere in ordering and eating their food. Still, In and Out Burgers fries are only fried once and I feel they aren't quite as good. Smashing the beef patties would result in a tastier burger but you do have to admit they do have a system, and it works! Their wages create loyalty and their positive atmosphere goes even furthur. The ONLY reason they don't franchise more is a function of the original family and distance from a product center!

[@markmullen1852]

@barrytipton1249 It's mediocre at best. I definitely know what an excellent chesseburger tastes like. It's not hard to distinguish between mediocrity and excellent. Californians think In N Out is excellent because it started in California and most Californians think that Calufornia is the best state in the U.S. therefore, In N Out has the best burgers. I had a Shack Shack burger in the SLC airport that was 10x better than In N Out. Here in Coer d Alene, Roger's Burgers puts In N Out to shame.

[@danmur2797]

​@@markmullen1852It's not mediocre, all the ingredients are fresh, never frozen, and you can customize it any which way. Seem to be one of those hate California anything. In-N-Out is dollar for dollar one of the best fast food burgers out there period. And was the first one doing the freshness and quality control out there when the McDs and Burger Kings of the world were slinging precooked and steamed patties and prefrozen products. Places like Shake Shack and 5 Guys came MUCH later, decades later, basically emulating the In-N-Out best processes. Shake Shack does a decent burger and shake--that's it. The rest is forgettable. And they do it at a much higher price point. An In-N-Out double double animal style is still quality for a decent price point. Also prefer the fries, especially animal style over anything Shake Shack offers in fries, loaded, or otherwise.

[@danmur2797]

​@@markmullen1852​Shacks MUCH newer. Only the burgers and shakes are ok. The rest of their menu is a miss. Prefer I&O fries, especially animal style over Shack's, loaded or otherwise. I&O was doing the fresh ingredients (meat, buns, veggies, fries), freshly made items, never premade/frozen well before shack or 5 g uys got into the business. And you can customize at I&O any which way.
