Ancient Ways Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 We have 5 guys down here now and they do make a great burger. We also have burger21 which is a hipster version of 5guys. We had a bunch of whataburgers open down here a few years back and they all seem to have closed. Pretty good burgers and seasonal pies were nice.

ILSnwdog Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 You'd think a state as large as Illinois would have a chain that would be known outside of the Midwest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was kidding. What could be more absurd than the notion of the largest damn chain on the damn map not be know outside of the Midwest? ;) By the way, the first McDonalds is only a few blocks from the church that my wife and I were married in. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John V Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 As a resident of Florida I'm baffled by Burger King being especially associated with our state. Notice its (the banner) located in the central to north part of Florida? Right where all the worlds rednecks live. They should make every county above Palm Beach part of GA. Even GA would most likely reject that part of the country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjbear05 Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 (edited) As a resident of Florida I'm baffled by Burger King being especially associated with our state. We should be known for HOOTERS. started right down the road in Clearwater Florida. I know it's not fast food but outback also started here in Tampa.BK's is headquartered in MyJamMe. hence the FL connection. OMG, I worked in a BK just outside of Detroit in 1970, It did pretty good biz, especially being across the highway from a White Castle. Of course back then it was a good deal for good food> Defimitely not that now. Right now the best chain down here is Tijuana Flats-good Mexican food for the price. big sevings, and their giant serve yourself hot sauce bar.

Tijuana flats? I eat there at least once a week. Love the sauce bar Nd they have the best fresh jalapeños of any place I've ever tried. I can't eat those nasty pickled peppers at the movies any more. My go to item is the steak chimichanga loaded and a side of salsa for the chips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KenJennings Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 I always thought that someone should open a buffet where, when you walk in, you step on a scale, and it charges you based on your weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That One Guy Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Utah gets... Arctic Circle. An absolutely terrible, run-down joint to eat a terrible hamburger. It's everything that is wrong with fast food. They might have good shakes - I don't partake - but their burgers are remarkably bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Analog Cub Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Maid-Rite for Iowa? Sounds about right. They're really nothing special. They know how to make loose meat sandwiches like every other high school concession stand. I guess they make some pretty good homemade pies. It's Iowa. Don't expect much I guess. Meanwhile I'll be eating some of that delicious Taco Bell... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Analog Cub Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 I've yet to experience 5 Guys. There just isn't one anywhere near my area. Family's possibly taking a vacation back over to Virginia next summer after I get back to England for some Busch Gardens and naval base funsies, so maybe I'll get to try some while I'm over there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thebuckeye2112 Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 (edited) Sbarro in NY? That's not even one of the more popular pizza chains here. It's funny you never see a Sbarro outside of a Shopping Mall or Airport, you would think they could make it big with options like delivery like most American pizza franchises but, no. Apparently they want to keep that business model. Edited September 6, 2018 by Thebuckeye2112 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
