In-N-Out Burger

In-N-Out Burger, Inc. is a regional chain of fast food restaurants with locations primarily in the American Southwest and Pacific coast. Founded in Baldwin Park, California, in 1948 by Harry Snyder and his wife Esther Snyder, the chain is currently headquartered in Irvine, California. In-N-Out Burger has slowly expanded outside Southern California into the rest of California, as well as into Arizona, Nevada, Utah, Texas and recently Oregon. The current owner is Lynsi Snyder, the only grandchild of the Snyders.

As the chain has expanded, it has opened several distribution centers in addition to its original Baldwin Park location. The new facilities, located in Lathrop, California; Phoenix, Arizona; Draper, Utah; and Dallas, Texas will provide for potential future expansion into other parts of the country.

In-N-Out Burger has resisted franchising its operations or going public; one reason is the prospect of quality or customer consistency being compromised by excessively rapid business growth. The company's business practices have been noted for employee-centered personnel policies. For example, In-N-Out is one of the few fast food chains in the United States to pay its employees more than state and federally mandated minimum wage guidelines – starting at US$10.50 per hour in California, as of April 2013. The In-N-Out restaurant chain has developed a highly loyal customer base, and has been rated as one of the top fast food restaurants in several customer satisfaction surveys.

In 'n Out (album)

In 'n Out is the third album by jazz saxophonist Joe Henderson released on the Blue Note label. It was recorded on April 10, 1964 and features performances by Henderson with Kenny Dorham, McCoy Tyner, Richard Davis and Elvin Jones.

Reception

The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow states that Henderson "has always had the ability to make a routine bop piece sound complex and the most complicated free improvisation seem logical... the music still seems fresh after three decades".The Penguin Guide to Jazz rates the album three and a half stars and states "while in general the temperature seems rather lower than on Henderson's other Blue Notes, it's fascinating, profound music."
