Here's Where 6 Iconic American Fast-Food Chains Got Their Start

In 1948, the original In-N-Out hamburger stand in Baldwin Park took up no more than 10 square feet, but size had nothing to do with the quality of the food.

Every morning, In-N-Out's founder, Harry Snyder, visited the L.A. area's meat and produce markets to source the freshest ingredients for his homemade burgers. While he flipped beef patties, his wife took care of the accounting from their home, located just around the corner. Shortly after the stand's opening, Snyder implemented an innovative two-way intercom system at the chain's drive-thrus that allowed customers to order and receive their meals without leaving their vehicles.
