The Bay Area tech worker whose 100

Key Points:

• In 2004, Will Young and friends, including late Zappos CEO Tony Hsieh, ordered an unprecedented "100-by-100" burger at an In-N-Out in Las Vegas, consisting of 100 patties and 100 slices of cheese, which the staff agreed to make despite initial doubts.
• The massive burger, totaling nearly 20,000 calories, became a legendary feat and led to widespread internet attention, with Young providing interviews and his blog post about the burger receiving over a million views.
• Following this event, In-N-Out implemented a policy limiting burger orders to a maximum of four patties and four slices of cheese, partly to avoid the logistical challenges posed by extreme custom orders like the 100-by-100.
• Today, Young balances his tech career with a new venture in the food industry as a founding team member of Face Plant, a Portland-based fast food company specializing in vegan burgers, aiming to become a beloved fast food brand.
• The story of the 100-by-100 burger remains a notable part of Young’s identity, symbolizing curiosity and daring in both his personal and professional life.
