Synopsis
In this bright social and corporate history, Stacy Perman tells the fascinating story of the wildly successful In-N-Out hamburger chain of restaurants, which has been family-owned since its founding just after WW II in California. The Snyder family has stuck to its core values of providing good burgers and fries in a car-culture environment despite many pressures within the industry to expand through franchising. As this is a family story, Perman does not gloss over the many tensions and conflicts that arose among its members over several generations and which sometimes boiled over with harmful results. Perman provides a full plate of business anecdotes and easily-digestible analysis.

Industry Reviews
"It's not easy to make a story about hamburgers interesting, but as we discover in Stacy Perman's IN-N-OUT BURGER, at least one fast-food narrative comes complete with tasty helpings of drug smuggling, corporate espionage, untimely death, conniving ex-wives, feckless in-laws, ne'er-do-well progeny, heroin, Christian fundamentalists and Dan Quayle."
