    One of the local ones here has the big screen TVs and what I would describe as a lounge area, but it's normal tables and benches, just looks nicer.

    It's actually pretty neat. Kind of like how the new Taco Bell facades/insides make them look a lot nicer.

    There is not a Sonic Burger anywhere near where I live and the last time I ate at one was almost 8 years ago. The experience stays with me today.

    Relatively expensive though they were, I absolutely loved nearly everything on the Wendy's value menu and I shall make sure to have as many Baconators as I can before this hallowed branch makes the crossover. And I always liked Checkers/Rally's fries anyway, no big loss there.

    Sonic plays ads all the time, and the closest one is about 90 miles away. We love their drinks, so seeing the ads absolutely kills us.

    Maybe they should transplant some of the ones from around Omaha to you. We have like a kajillion and I never see cars in them. Ever.

    As far as I know In N' Out has never existed that far out east. Like, as far as I know they have only ever operated California, Nevada, Arizona and Utah.

    Wiki seems to agree with me, you sure there was an In N' Out there?

    I'll repeat, from back on one of the early pages: there are a ton of one-off and local-chain "In-N-Out" burger joints. These are not necessarily the same as "the" In-N-Out that only recently expanded outside of California (and maybe Nevada). Same way I remember seeing an In-N-Out Burger up in Livingston, Montana. It's just the same name.

    I don't know how they necessarily get away with it, as I'd think the "real" chain would enforce their trademarks. But I guess not.

    That is their aim.

    Culver's is wonderful and there's always one nearby whenever I go on vacation. Give me a couple of Butterburgers and and the TV remote and I'm in heaven. And there's the novelty of custard as well.

    Ah yes, this thread is still alive. I would like to say that I tried Wendy's Fries in a Chocolate Frosty yesterday for the first time and the the person that suggested it, I hope you die. In a fire.

    Worst taste ever.

    Why, WHY would you ever listened to someone who suggested that?

    I know this is a couple of pages late, but the "new" brown Starbucks logo isn't new at all but was their original one from their original place at Pike Place in Seattle. They've been using it to advertise their (surprisingly good) new coffee, Pike Place roast.

    Seriously, I hate Starbucks' normal drip coffee, but Pike Place is soooooooo goood. I want to get one just thinking about it but I'm broke until I get paid.

    EDIT: Of course this is top of the page. *sigh*

    It's an altered form of the original.

    I swear, most customers haven't even noticed that we changed our coffee at all.

    If anything we hear neither nothing or complaints, mainly complaints about the lack of variety in the coffee that we offer now.

    French fries and ice cream make a workable combination because the salt of the fries brings out the sweetness of the ice cream.

    But Frosty's are way too rich for me to eat normally. I had a coupon for a free one once, and could barely take a few tablespoons worth.
