In SoCal and a few other lucky places, that's the In 'n Out burger.
They'll grill the onions for you, too. -aem


FatBurger comes to mind!!! Everything is cooked fresh to ordere even the
fries. Well, the chili isn't but the eggs are. People don't want a 2 hour
old egg on their burger!!!



Or any egg, for that matter....

Seems like all the big chains have gotten really horrible. (Wendys
McD's-BK)

Mc D's, and BK always seem to give you lukewarm Burgers, and to me,
there's nothing more nasty than half cold beef. Mc D's fries after 4
minutes taste like your're eating cardboard.

Mc D's hasn't just got bad, they've been crap for the last 35 years.
Ever wonder why Mc D's now buys their Beef from Argentina?

Their Burgers don't even taste like Beef anymore, and if BK didn't throw
some flame on their meat, it would be just as tasteless too.
Yuk!

At least White Castle generally makes theirs fresh off the Grill, and
their Crinkle Cut Fries I think are much better than any of the other
fast food joints. A shame White Castle is only in a few states. mark

Oh wow! Springfield MO huh? A friend of mine lives there. She and
alleged spouse own 4 CiCi's pizza stores there.

Michael


Oh, nice. I've been meaning to try their $3.99 pizza and salad buffet.
Looks like a good deal.

-Mark

We have a CiCi's pizza restaurant here in Winchester. If you're a big
eater -- that's the place to go -- different kinds of pizza, a salad with
different little holies that contain peas, onions, etc. for the salad.
Pasta of some sort, noodles, macaroni and 2 kinds of sauces -- cheese and
tomato. Then about 10 different kinds of pizza are under lights in buffet
style to take. 3 desserts.
We've been there a few times. DH eats like he's starved, I eat a couple of
slices at most, the spinach and white cheese, some salad, and half of a
cinnamon roll desert. The crust IMO sucks.
It sure gets plenty of business.

I tried to find out in their search engine where the White Castle stores
were and you have to put in the TOWN in the state before it will tell you if
they have one or not! What kind of search engine is that! I wanted to put
in a state, but it wouldn't take that. Usually a pulldown menu will come up
with the states available, then you can put in towns, or it will show the
towns for that state; so I assume they don't have very many joints.

Yesterday, CNN conducted a taste test on coffees - three unidentified

King coffee won hands down. Funny - I never eat at our local BK
because the food is so dismal. I suppose any of them are only as good
as the management.

I avoid fast food like the plague. But like Nancy, I have to have a "fix"
of grease now and then. Fast food burgers, fries etc. wreak havoc on my
cholesterol and blood glucose. Personally I prefer BK to most of the
others. White Castle is, of course, my favorite ;^)

So what you're saying is you occasionally expose yourself to the
plague?

Don't know where you're looking, Dee, but you can search by zipcode *or*
region *or* address.

Now I see the dropdown menu in REGION! and found a bunch in New Jersey.
There might be one as we pass thru NJ as there are a number of them in NJ.
Thanks for helping me, Ma-der-a.

after an afternoon shift on a hot summer night and had a craving for a shake
so I went to the McDs driver through and ordered a shake. I was told that
the machine was out of service. When I got back to the office a co-worker
told me they do that at night because they have to wash it and don't want to
get it dirty again.

Around here, they just flat out tell you they turned the shake machine
off at 10:00 PM so you're out of luck. McD's is the only 24 hour place
and with DH on the 2nd shift, we end up at McD's more often than we
should. They have some grilled chicken sammiches now, though, which are
tolerable and are, ostensibly, made from real chicken.

Here in Springfield, Missouri we're stuck with the regular big ones
(Mickey Dees, Wendy's, BK) and a few smaller/regional chains (Sonic,
Culvers, Braum's, Back Yard Burgers). Having a Jack In The Box here
would be nice. I enjoy their stuff much better than the other big ones,
but unfortunately not here yet. Maid-Rite is also pretty good, but they
are expensive for what you get and they went out of business here.

Hey there! I am from the Springfield area (family in Springfield,
Ozark, Bois D'ark, Bolivar, and Lebanon) and, when I was a kid, Steak
'n' Shake was the best chain burger you could get in Springfield. There
was still a Steak 'n' Shake near Drury College a few years ago, the one
where a lot of rock acts supposedly ate in the days of Drury hosting
concerts on campus in the 60s and 70s. It's not the best part of town
anymore (frankly, it was scary as hell a couple years ago) so maybe the
restaurant has gone downhill, too.
I will have to try Back Yard Burgers the next time I'm there.

liked that it always has a line and never has burgers on hold. If
necessary, find a small local non-chain burger joint. It will
probably costs a little more, but is usually worth it. Whatever you
do, avoid like the plague those bogus gourmet burger places that
charge big bucks, then let you make up your own burger. Whatta scam.

I don't put Fat Burger in that group--but what it IS, is a place one
can get a really good 'burger, for a reasonable price. They're found
a lot of places that In 'n' Out isn't.

For fries, I still favor Dick's--a Seattle outfit that started in the
days of the 19-cent hamburger.

There are lots of people who *do* want an egg on their burger. Back when I
went to college, people would go out of their way to a bar called
"Squirrel's" to have the "Squirrelburger," which was topped with ketchup,
mustard, a fried egg, and dill pickle slices. They probably sold a hundred
of them each night.

I bet you don't want an egg on top of your pizza either. :-)

Argentinian beef is some of the best in the world. On average it's a LOT
better than US beef.
