Lidle knew how to eat

COVINA, Calif. (AP) — Three small planes flew over mourners at a memorial Tuesday for Yankees pitcher Cory Lidle, an emotional reminder to his family, friends and teammates that he died doing something he loved.
Following Lidle's funeral, hundreds of mourners did something else he enjoyed; they sat down to a luncheon of In-N-Out burgers, his favorite fast food.

No word on if they were served "animal style."
 
I'm going to assume Derek Jeter and Joe Torre didn't dine with the unwashed masses.

I get the idea the burgers were delivered, but it'd be great if everyone went to an In-And-Out right after the funeral. can you imagine the look on the face of that manager? It'd be like the school field trip pouring into McDonalds times 100.

In-n-Out has a truck/trailer combo that they haul out for special events. I suspect that was what happened here. The average In-n-Out doesn't seat more than about 60 people.
 
Makes sense. It's a lot like life; first you're in, then you're out.
 
Is In-N-Out strictly a West Coast thing?

And someone please gauge the overall quality for those of us who have never been to one. I loves me some cheeseburgers.

California, Arizona and Nevada. And you would love these--about the best chain hamburgers you can get.

For those attending the SportsJournalists.com Vegas trip, there's one not far from the Strip.

In-N-Out puts Hardee's thickburger to shame.
