So, What's Your Favorite Burger Chain Place?

Unconventional said
There was a dragstrip in Irwindale. A real dragstrip, 1320 feet long and everything. The concession stand burgers were so bad we called them "Blacktop Burgers". We would leave there, go to Azusa Ave to this funky little place called In N Out. It barely had a parking lot, it had a drive thru and walk up window, 2 picnic tables outside. Eat our fill and head back to the desert. They built a Miller brewery on top of that dragstrip. Many of the privateers were brightly adorned with "Miller Beer Sucks" on their hot rods at the Last Blast. I didn't touch a Miller for years after that. Ahhh, the teenage memories :rolleyes:

In'n'Out actually provided food at Irwindale Raceway at some point until the track closed.
From a past article in the Orange County Register newspaper:
"In 1965, Harry Snyder [founder of In'n'Out with his wife Esther] invested in the newly built Irwindale Raceway and remained half-owner until it was demolished in the mid-1970s. The track developed a reputation among racers for having top-notch food, supplied by Snyder."
