So we’ve been on In-n-Out tours before so this post may seem redundant. But it’s always just so much fun and there’s LOTS of yummy food and so I have to write about it. <\/p>\n
On March 17 at 9am we had the opportunity to go on an in-n-out burger tour. This in-n-out tended to give more information whereas the other in-n-out that we went to relied more on wowing us with their equipment and letting us do it. I enjoyed learning some trivia about this restaurant. We learned things such as:<\/p>\n
-Everyone who works at in-n-out started out as a register\/cook\/cleaner. From the managers to the IT people. They all started out as a minimum wage teenager.<\/p>\n
-They only open a max of 15 stores a year. That way they can keep tighter control.<\/p>\n
-They have their own cow farm where they butcher their own meat.<\/p>\n
-They have their own bakery where one bun take 12 hours to make. Also, if you take one of their buns and smash it flatter than a pancake and then leave it alone for about 5 minutes, it bounces back to shape and you can hardly tell it was ever smooshed (I saw this with my own eyes!).<\/p>\n
-They have decided to open up restaurants in Texas. But since Texas doesn’t do anything small, they aren’t going to either. They realized that they can’t just open 1 restaurant in Dallas. There would be mutiny. So they are going to open 5 restaurants in each of Texas’ major cities in the year 2011. But before they can do that, they are going to build and staff a bakery, butcher and distribution center. That way everything can be fresh and shipped within hours\/days. I find that all VERY interesting. <\/p>\n
Anyway, we had a good time. We even got done in enough time to pick up Afton and Keri from Camille and get to p.e. on time. It was a fabulous morning! The free meal was a nice touch too!!<\/p>\n
