Fast it is not, usually because it's so freakin' crowded in there. Besides, they serve the food on real plates with real silverware and linen napkins. Should I mention that there is one a half mile from my house? Mwahahaha...<BR/><BR/>I do miss WC sliders. When I was in Indy in April, I didn't get the chance to go there, but I did get to go to Steak 'n Shake then and a few days ago here in Ohio. Yippee for steakburgers!!!<BR/><BR/>Believe it or not, I've never been to In 'n Out, and there's one just a mile or so from my house. May have to rectify that one...<BR/><BR/>Most of these places are sooooo very near to my house. I don't frequent Carl's Jr., and Hardees was different when they were Hardees and NOT Carl's Jr. I agree - they had great biscuits.<BR/><BR/>You DO know that McDonald's owns Chipotle's, right? And I've never eaten at Baja Fresh, but I HAVE been to Rubio's many, many, MANY times.Desert Songbirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14320552900816326120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8158674.post-20653462381847185712007-08-09T21:52:00.000-04:002007-08-09T21:52:00.000-04:00Haven't been to most of your list, but I can say t...Haven't been to most of your list, but I can say that we used to have a Jack in the box in Malden, Ma where I grew up. Once I was waiting for a bus and a car pulled up and the driver asked where he could buy some pot, yep, Jack in the Box was the hangout for druggies, or so I thought. <BR/><BR/>I am addicted to Mcdonald's ice coffee this summer, it's sad....Jenny McBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11260376064122225845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8158674.post-83949730370677338472007-08-09T21:42:00.000-04:002007-08-09T21:42:00.000-04:00dude--you had me at white castle. oh how i miss th...dude--you had me at white castle. oh how i miss those!! we have "krystals" down here and it don't even compare.Christie O.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16119774914469200174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8158674.post-77847186489106002262007-08-09T19:59:00.000-04:002007-08-09T19:59:00.000-04:00Hi, thanks for visiting me...I like to have fast f...Hi, thanks for visiting me...I like to have fast food once in a while too and the only thing close to us is Burger King and McDonald's :P BOR-ing.

I'm with you on Geno's as we had one in Thorndale that later became a Roy Rogers and later closed too.<BR/><BR/>White Castle, only ever had the frozen ones but we have Krystal here in the South and I have no idea what the grayish material between the halves of the bun is.<BR/><BR/>Chipolte... seems dry and you have to pay extra for chips. Wait and see of Moe's Southwest Grill makes it to you. Same concept with better food and NOT owned by McDonald's.<BR/><BR/>Hardees, used to like them in the 80's but they have faded.<BR/><BR/>Never been to an In N OUt but I know the poeple out west crave them like Southerners do Chick-fil-a. I think Las Vegas is the only place I've been that had one.<BR/><BR/>We have Sonic in Georgia and Florida now. They're okay, but the best item on the menu is not available here (had it in OK and MO) and it's breaded and fried cheddar chunks (bite sized) served with ranch. Mmmmmmmmm.<BR/><BR/>And to answer your question from my TT - CFF is a reference to the previous item (Central Florida Future)the campus paper.Valtoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17807946128973757019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8158674.post-66043946305920606462007-08-09T17:13:00.000-04:002007-08-09T17:13:00.000-04:00We used to have a Hardees in town.
