The face of one of California's most iconic brands, Lynsi Snyder is a very successful woman, currently valued at $6.7 billion. But she's also a lifelong KROQ fan and a *potential* new Klein.Ally.Show. fan after hearing their newest crop of Menu Re-Do ideas. (Listen here)
Spoiler Alert: All of them were politely, but firmly, rejected. Ally suggested a cat-friendly version of the popular "puppy patty," cleverly dubbed the "catty." Snyder laughed but passed. Kevin followed with the "Fry-day Shake" – a milkshake served with a few fries for dipping. The final pitch, a burger called the "Inside-Out" with patties on the outside and bun in the middle, earned more laughter than consideration.
When asked about the possibility of fried pickles making it onto the menu, she admitted, "I love them, but we are unable to do that." As for breakfast at In-N-Out? "Who says you can’t eat a burger for breakfast?" she countered with a smile.
Will In-N-Out ever make it to the East Coast? "Don’t hold your breath," Snyder replied with a laugh. And what about AI in the drive-thru? "That’s not our style," she said. "Our customers are like guests to us."
One of the biggest headlines from the interview: Papa Roach has been confirmed as the headliner for this year’s Rock2Freedom benefit concert, hosted by In-N-Out's Slave 2 Nothing Foundation. The event, now in its fifth year, takes place on October 18 at the Hollywood Palladium. Fans can also look forward to a performance by Snyder herself, who plays bass and sings with In-N-Out's company band, 48 Special. They'll share the stage with Sitting on Saturn, an up-and-coming group that recently toured with 311. Tickets are available now at rock2freedom.com.
