Living in Texas I've had a few In-N-Out burgers but not many. (The Texas dispute is Whataburger or In-N-Out, and I'd take In-N-Out any day of the week.) This book is 11 years old so much more to the story. The chain has spread far eastward since publication.
It's an interesting read about the cult burger chain but much is repeated--example the location of store #1 in Baldwin Park. The book also goes back and forth in time which is somewhat confusing.
My heart really went out to Esther Snyder, co-founder of the chain with her husband, as she endured so much tragedy after a long life of hard work.
Mostly I'm hungry for a burger and plan to look up the secret menu on the internet.
I got the book because I saw it listed in two or more important business books to read within just a few days. After reading I'm not sure I'd include it in that type of list; however, it was a good train read.
