Californian burger chain In-N-Out is launching the Esther Snyder Cookout Truck as the team announced online on Instagram. Noted by Lynsi Snyder, the granddaughter of founder Esther Snyder, the truck is meant to celebrate her grandmother's love of helping children and honoring her legacy. The truck will be serving out mini fries, mini burgers, and mini Double-Doubles as the proceeds will be redirected to the company's Burger Foundation.
The foundation is developed to help children that have unfortunately been victims of child abuse and will also be available for youth-centric events. On Instagram, Lyndi states, "The best part about this truck is that, in honor of my Grandma and her love for helping children, it supports the In-N-Out Burger Foundation’s efforts in assisting children who have been victims of child abuse."
