Letters to the Editor: Habit can claim anything it wants, but In-N-Out is still the king of burgers
To the editor: Sorry, but what even is a Habit ('California's burger wars heat up as Habit Burger & Grill trolls In-N-Out with new billboard,' Aug. 13.)? It's not the spot you hit after a football game. It's not where you land after a weeklong hike in the woods. And it's certainly not the first burger you grab after flying into LAX from out of state. That crown belongs to In-N-Out, the undisputed cultural king of California burger chains, no matter what so-called statistics the Habit flashes on a snarky billboard. They can keep pretending this is a real rivalry. I'll keep devouring Double-Doubles and Animal Fries like a loyal subject. Charlie Henry, El Segundo

In-N-Out isn't coming to these states anytime soon
(KTLA) — In-N-Out Burger's expansion into Tennessee gained new attention this week when CEO Lynsi Snyder announced on a podcast that she is moving her family from California to the Volunteer State. However, buried within the interview was a comment that will certainly disappoint fans of the fast-food giant across a wide swath of the U.S. In-N-Out isn't coming to the East Coast anytime soon. 'Florida has begged us, and we're still saying no,' Snyder, 43, told Allie Beth Stuckey, host of the faith-focused podcast Relatable. 'The [other] East Coast states—we're still saying no.' The Southern California-based chain announced its Tennessee expansion in January 2023, with a regional office in Franklin, a suburb of Nashville, slated to open next year. According to the Nashville Business Journal, the burger giant is eyeing 35 potential locations in Tennessee, which will be served by the company's distribution center in Lancaster, Texas. In-N-Out is known for using only fresh ingredients — never frozen — including ground beef, so its stores are generally located within 500 miles of its distribution centers. 'We're not putting a whole meat facility where we do all our own beef [in Tennessee]. We'll have a warehouse, but not do our own meat there,' Snyder said. She added that other states within range of the Lancaster facility could also be part of the burger chain's expansion plans — likely leaving In-N-Out fans in Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana, Kansas, Mississippi, and Missouri salivating over the possibility of Double-Doubles and Animal Fries in their future. Lynsi, the granddaughter of In-N-Out founders Harry and Esther Snyder, said the company needs to approach growth with a focus on quality over quantity. 'We have to have some growth, but we also don't want to be on every corner. We don't want to be in every state, and we don't want to ever compromise our values and standards—the cornerstones that my grandparents laid down,' she said. In-N-Out currently operates over 400 stores in eight states: California, Texas, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Oregon and Idaho. Its first Washington state location is expected to open within the next several weeks.

These 10 restaurant chains have the happiest workers, study finds
Among the nation's major restaurant chains, In-N-Out is still supreme when it comes to the satisfaction of its workers, according to a new study. The California-based burger chain took the top spot for a 10th straight year, according to an analysis by William Blair, an investment bank and financial services company. The annual report spans 11 years and is built on over 530,000 reviews of almost 90 restaurant brands, according to Nation's Restaurant News. This year's study found that when they weren't serving up Double-Doubles and Animal-Style fries, 91 percent of In-N-Out workers would recommend the job to a friend. The percentage marked a 5 percent jump from last year's study, according to industry publication QSR Magazine. The top three chains when it comes to employee satisfaction remained unchained from 2024 to 2025, with In-N-Out followed by Raising Cane's and Dutch Bros. Hardee's was the lowest-ranked brand at 39 percent. See the top 10 below: Rank Chain Recommendation Percentage 1. In-N-Out 91% 2. Raising Cane's 82% 3. Dutch Bros 78% 4. Chuy's 78% 5. Peet's Coffee & Tee 76% 6. Caribou Coffee 74% 7. Lazy Dog 74% 8. Portillo's 73% 9. Longhorn Steakhouse 73% 10. Chick-fil-A 72% In-N-Out is the only chain that has been in the top 10 every year for a decade, according to William Blair's analysis. So what is it that's making workers at In-N-Out, Raising Cane's and others feel good about their job? Getting a raise isn't everything, according to the study. In fact, the authors found that compensation and benefits had the lowest correlation of six measured attributes, according to Nation's Restaurant News. The top factors were instead culture/values, senior management and work/life balance. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
