However, what really sets this California-based chain apart from other top-notch burger spots is the freedom to customize your order. To spark inspiration for your next meal, we've rounded up some In-N-Out ordering tips that will make your favorite burgers even better.

"That was the end of our night, of course," Young said with a laugh, "because we ate it, felt terrible and didn't go out after." Today, Young is a family man. Once a longtime San Francisco resident, he's got a couple of kids and is happy to have traded the Mission for an East Bay backyard, though he does miss being able to simply walk from his front door to a quality burrito.

Baker's Drive Thru, founded in 1952, had a significant impact on fast food, rivaling In-N-Out during its peak years in the late 1990s and early 2000s.

"The main reason is because part of what makes In-N-Out and the experience so special is the interaction and the customer service that we're able to give, the smile, the greeting, that warmth and feeling that culture, and so the mobile ordering will definitely take a piece of that away and there's also the freshness factor."

We had to do a double-double take at Glassdoor's new Best Places to Work 2026 list, as they ranked fast-food chain In-N-Out as a better place to work than the cushy, high-paid confines of Nvidia, Facebook, and Google. If you had your choice between job offers from the Silicon Valley tech giants Nvidia, Google, and Facebook, with their massively lucrative stocks and lavish perks and salaries, or a job offer flipping burgers at a local In-N-Out, which offer would you take?

In-N-Out has reportedly kicked 67 out of its order system. According to a report from People Magazine, it removed the number because of the viral 6-7 trend. The fast food chain says kids and teenagers would wait around just to hear it called, and then jump into unruly 6-7 celebrations. Employees confirmed the number hasn't been used for orders for about a month. So now, the order system jumps from 66 straight to 68.

Double-Double Animal Style with no lettuce or tomato and the buns flipped.

It's just a little corner of a street, tucked between warehouses within earshot of the busy Interstate 10 in Baldwin Park, the hamburger company's spiritual (and soon, corporate) home. Right there, next to the train tracks and across from the lumber yard east of downtown Los Angeles, sits a piece of American burger history that few know about - even die-hard In-N-Out fans.

"In a perfect world," Bourdain said, "you should be able to eat a hamburger with one hand and get a representative chunk of all of the elements." He felt that the burger should be small and sturdy enough to hold with a single hand, and that the ingredients should be minimal and well-distributed throughout the burger. You should be able to taste each ingredient in every bite you take, rather than fishing around for a pickle or being left with a bite of just bun edges and lettuce.

If you're an In-N-Out milkshake aficionado, you've probably wished you could buy a bigger cup of this sweet, creamy treat. Well, thanks to the people of TikTok, there's a devilishly sweet way to secure even more milkshakes. You just need to know what secret menu item to ask for: Instead of ordering a standard-size cup, ask for a large or an extra-large. Not only do you get more milkshake to devour on your own, but it saves you money as well.

Survivor Jack Dairiki, 95, spoke to KTVU about witnessing the bombing and its aftermath during the ceremony at the Japanese Tea Garden in San Francisco. His experience highlights the human cost of nuclear warfare.

"Information was recently published in error stating that In-N-Out Burger has transitioned to beef tallow for cooking French fries," Denny Warnick said. "We continue to work on an upgrade to our current sunflower oil, however we have not yet made a change."

I will literally go to a drive-thru, In-N-Out, and I'll wind the window down, and I'll ask for a Double-Double animal style, and they recognize me and they give me lots of extras. So I just stack them, jump in the backseat, and eat them all.

In-N-Out will not give you guest number 69 on your receipt, skipping it to avoid associations with adult themes, signaling societal sensitivities to numbers.
