DeSantis Invites Anti-Vax Burger Chain To Open In FL

The San Francisco Chronicle reports:

Lynsi Snyder-Ellingson, the famously private owner of In-N-Out Burger, had a call with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis this week after the company’s high-profile spat with Bay Area health departments over proof-of-vaccination requirements.

DeSantis press secretary Christina Pushaw said that Snyder-Ellingson and the governor had a “productive conversation” on Monday about In-N-Out possibly expanding to Florida.

In-N-Out entered the national discourse over COVID-19 policy when a company executive said the chain will “refuse to become the vaccination police for any government” and locations in San Francisco and Contra Costa counties suspended indoor dining.
