"One particular cluster of restaurants in Downey — In-N-Out, Chick-Fil-A, and Raising Cane’s — made for what could be the largest collection of cars waiting for fast food in Southern California, with one stretch along Firestone Boulevard bringing together nearly 140 cars waiting in line for food. Hollywood’s lone In-n-Out is already known to field long lines, especially during prime meal hours, but ever since the Southern California-based burger chain closed its dining rooms, the drive-thru has been the only way to load up on double-doubles and animal-style fries. The building doesn’t accommodate more than one drive-thru lane, so the line snakes out into the neighborhood along Orange Drive. Employees walk the line, taking early orders are relayed inside via headset to speed up the process. The In-N-Out in Downey has a very small footprint and is surrounded by residential buildings, but the line stretched in two different directions on a recent Friday evening. There are nearly 40 cars, with traffic almost piling up on the busy intersection of Firestone and Lakewood Boulevards. In-N-Out in Gardena had an efficient two-lane system that could increase capacity depending on the number of cars lined up. A normal wait for someone joining the drive-thru hovers around fifteen minutes for their order, with about two-dozen cars in front of them." - Matthew Kang
