Behind the Scenes at In N Out Burger in Placerville

 

 

The article for today is "Behind the Scenes" at In-N- Out Burger in Placerville, California. It is about our field trip to In-N-Out Burger last week. It was a homeschool field trip with a group of students in the Placerville region. We met with Tyler, the manager of the Placerville In-N-Out Burger and he told me about the history of In-N-Out Burger. He showed us the back of In-N-Out where all their food is stored and prepared. I got to "dice the sink," which means putting the potato through the potato press. We got to order our own food for free. The Placerville In-N- Out gets a lot of business from tourists and last summer was one of their busiest times in the history of the location.  The field trip was very fun, educational, and yummy!!

                                                           About In-N- Out Burger:

             In-N-Out Burger is a regional chain of fast food restaurants with locations primarily across the American Southwest. Founded in Baldwin Park, California in 1948 by Harry Snyder and his wife Esther Snyder, the chain is currently headquartered in Irvine, California.

One of the most prevalent non-profits supported is Only Kindness, Inc. a community resource center in El Dorado County, which helps the underserved, the veterans, and the homeless. Re: Visions accepts donations of a wide range of household items, furniture, and home goods. If items need to be re: Conditioned, a team of volunteers assesses the piece and re: Purposes it accordingly. Since all items are donated, re: Visions can offer them for sale very affordably. Unlike standard thrift stores, re: Visions brings usefulness to unwanted items and smiles to patrons' faces. Re: Visions has a Facebook page for more information about the place.

Today's Post: Ube Over Taxi

Uber has made it in the news today. It is an American international transportation company that was founded in 2009 by Garrett Camp and Travis Kalanick as Uber Cab.  It is currently headquartered in San Francisco. The company develops, markets and operates the Uber mobile app, which allows customers with smart phones to submit a trip request which is then routed to Uber drivers who use their own cars. Uber is worth $50 billion dollars. It is currently available in 58 countries and 300 cities worldwide. I believe Uber has been very successful in many big cities including Sacramento and its success has disrupted the taxi industry. Uber's success is due to competitive rates and convenience.  Thank you for reading my blogpost!
