Title: Fast Food Chains You Wish You Had In Your Area
Post by: Java on August 26, 2008, 07:59:08 PM
Title says it all...
What fast food chains do you wish you had in your area?


I wish they'd bring In-N-Out over to the East Coast.
Those have to be the best fast food hamburgers I've ever tasted.

I'd also like a Sonic near here.
They advertise ALL THE TIME, but the closest is on the other side of the state.
Someone needs to tell their Marketing Dept. that they're wasting money over here. :|

I want a Varsity here.

Varsity is a Atlanta-exclusive local chain focused around hot dogs, and they're famous for greeting you as you come up to the counter with "WHATTAYAHAVE, WHATTAYAHAVE?".

Mindblowingly good hot dogs, and even better brownies/fries. <333

In-N-Out.

I've never been to California, and therefore never had an In-N-Out, but I've heard about their awesomeness.

Sonic
In-N-Out
Taco Cabana

Unfortunately only Texas has Taco Cabanas. They kick Taco Bell's ass so hard. Sonic has excellent mixed drinks, my favorite being the strawberry limeade. And In-N-Out has much better burgers than any other fast food joint.

I'd like to try In-N-Out now.  I heard Checkers (local chain?) sucks, so I'm not going to bother to eat there.

I don't really know of any other fast food places other than the ones that are near me. Anyway there's a lot different ones near me so I'm good with that.

There's a Checkers near me, but I haven't eaten there a while so I don't remember if it's good or not.

I went to a Sonic once and it was ok, but it would be better if I actually had a car.

Quiznos are around me but not in my town/the town right next to us.  That would be nice.

In-N-Out sounds like a magical place, so why not.

That taco place in CatDog.  Heck yes.

They need a, "Raising Canes" in my Area...

Close to McDonalds and Burger King.

Not only is "Raising Canes" an awesome restaurant but it's a peppy youth orientated place
where a lot of people would have fun working.
(from what I heard)

Well, I guess that In-N-Out place you guys are talking about. I've never heard of it, but you guys make it seem good.

Other than that, I have a lot of good fast food chains.

Steak and Shake, I would literally kill for a Steak and Shake
2 dollar burgers grilled to perfection? Hell Yes.

Red Robin is also very good, although not fast food.
Whiskey River Burger is great, onion straws and whiskey barbecue sauce. <3

One trip to Sonic doesn't equate to the dozens of times I will visit a fast-food restaurant...

(No,  I don't eat fast food that often. >_>)
