In-N-Out makes its own hamburger patties, in its own plants. The company buys whole chucks, takes the bones out, grinds the meat and forms the patties there. Then they're delivered to the restaurants on In-N-Out's own trucks. It opened its first patty plant in 1963 and now has plants in California, Texas and Colorado.
In-N-Out says its restaurants get fresh, never-frozen ingredients delivered throughout the week. The company has said for years that it won't open a store farther than it can truck fresh patties from its own plants. When it announced Tennessee in 2023, Lynsi Snyder said its meat plant in Lancaster, Texas, would supply patties to the Tennessee stores.
The fries are cut from whole potatoes in each restaurant. The menu board has 3 burgers, fries, shakes and drinks.

Just wanted to say "congratulations" to Amy Klobuchar on winning Minnesota Governor. You won 6 of 86 counties in Minnesota.
So, my question is "What is your plan for the other 80 counties who did not want you as Governor. We know what you want for the 6 counties you won.

Recent rains have given NM's reservoirs a big boost!
Since Sept. 15, Navajo Lake is up 57' and Elephant Butte nearly 33'! The Butte is now 8% full, up from 1.4% three months ago.
Abiquiu and Cochiti are primarily flood-control reservoirs, so % full isn't listed.

Flying high!
Today, our X-59 quiet supersonic X-59 aircraft traveled from Birmingham, Alabama, to Daytona Beach, Florida. The aircraft aims to fly faster than sound with just a gentle thump rather than a sonic boom — helping usher in a new era of faster air travel.
We're prepping to feature X-59 at MAX POWER and will provide updates soon!

🚨 LAKE POWELL IS NOW HIGHER THAN IT WAS IN 2022!
What we’re witnessing at Lake Powell is becoming increasingly unusual. The reservoir has climbed an incredible 19 FEET since its mid-September low, and the water continues to pour in following weeks of exceptional rainfall across the Four Corners and San Juan River watershed.
Take a look at the graph. It really puts this into perspective. Lake Powell has now moved above its 2022 levels, despite typically seeing reservoir levels decline during the fall. These kinds of gains this time of year are anything but ordinary.
A few important numbers:
📈 19 feet: Rise since the mid-September low.
📊 164 feet: Still below full pool. We have a long way to go.
🌊 7%: The estimated contribution from Flaming Gorge releases to the recent rise.
That last number is important. Flaming Gorge has been releasing additional water into the Colorado River system for months, but it accounts for only about 7% of this recent increase. The overwhelming majority of the rise is being driven by natural runoff from the extraordinary precipitation across the Four Corners, particularly the San Juan River basin.
And remember, this isn’t just rain falling directly into Lake Powell. Enormous amounts of water are moving through tributaries, rivers and drainage basins. That runoff takes time to make its way downstream and into the reservoir, meaning Powell can continue rising even after the heaviest precipitation has ended.
