In order to relieve pressure on existing SoCal outlets, which are increasingly crowded at all hours of the day:

Their beef isn't with the burger.

Merchants near some Southern California In-N-Out Burger restaurants say their gripe is with growing traffic jams at drive-through lanes that are keeping customers from getting in and out of their stores.

Long lines of idling cars whose occupants are waiting for made-to-order double-doubles, fries and chocolate shakes sometimes spill into streets and block driveways and alleys, according to owners of adjacent businesses.

The traffic crunch has sent executives of the Irvine-based chain on a crash program to open new outlets to relieve pressure on existing In-N-Outs.

If only they could expand to the (l)east coast and show these (l)east coasters what a real burger tastes like, then I'd be in heaven (well, not quite, but it would make this swamp a bit more bearable).
