The late Julia Child was a big fan of In-N-Out Burger. Jamie West, executive chef at the Montecito Club in Santa Barbara California, said he stopped at the fast-food chain more than once during a road trip with the grande dame of cooking.

“On the way up the coast, we ate In-N-Out burgers in the car,” West told the Ventura County Star newspaper in 2009. “On the way back, we went inside to order at the In-N-Out Burger in Santa Maria. A young woman behind the counter kept looking at us. Then she whispered to me: ‘Is that Julia Child?’ It was great how people of all ages knew who she was.”
