In-N-Out is known for its popularity with celebrities — just last week, Lady Gaga was spotted waiting for her order a day after performing as the headliner at Coachella.

It’s also become the go-to fast food spot to refuel after an awards show.

Jimmy Kimmel explained the trend during an interview with PEOPLE last year.

“The award show tradition is In-N-Out after the show,” the four-time Oscars host said in March 2024. “And I think part of why is because when people are in L.A., one of the things on their list is to go to In-N-Out — and there are a lot of people that are in L.A. just for the Oscars — so they wind up going like, ‘Okay.’”
