New Yorkers who have feasted on In-N-Out while traveling out west have hoped for years that they could enjoy a double-double animal style (IYKYK) close to home.

While discussing its new locations, In-N-Out CEO Lynsi Snyder-Ellingson was asked about expanding to New York or somewhere on the East Coast.

Sadly, it's a hard no.

"We won't compromise on quality just to expand," she said when questioned about an East Coast expansion.

The 43-year-old said she doesn't see In-N-Out "being on the East Coast in my lifetime."

In-N-Out's brand is built on the rule that nothing is ever frozen. Every restaurant has to be within a one-day drive of one of the chain's patty-making facilities, roughly 300 to 500 miles.
