New fast food discussion/review thread
OK OOT, it's been a while since we had a devoted fast food thread around here and I think it's time we had a new one.

I've never been quiet about my dislike for the onion. Every order is Sin Cebollas.
Lost Dutchman is next to the Superstitions, in Apache Junction. Great views, and I bet the hikes are alright. We picked up JM's and hit a picnic ramada. Nice day for it.
Never been in that part of the state even though I've lived in AZ for 50 years. The only hikes I do any more are from the living room to the bathroom.
Yeah, the A&W in my hometown was the old style true drive-up. Looking on google maps, appears they still have drive-up stalls.
Had inside seating too with jukebox controls at each table--the old thing where you could manually flip through the songs.
They had one of these in my town back in the day: The Burger Family Restaurant. This was back when they pushed the Papa Burger, Mama Burger, Teen Burger, and Baby Burger. The Teen Burger was the only one with bacon iirc.

In my nape of the neck, we call these "5 and Diners" (a small local chain of 3-4 diner restaurants. No drive-in/thru, but red vinyl booths, waitstaff in costume, jukebox controls at each table, 50's theme, 'hot rod' car shows on the weekeds, etc.
It's where I go for my open-faced RB or turkey sammiches with mashed potato and gravy over everything.
The ff gods sent redemption in the form of a double bbc!
Big Bacon Classic!
Veg was crisp and fresh, meat and cheese were beefy and cheesy, plus it was the only place open at 10pm
$1 to add another patty is a steal
Cheers to the crew at the Wendy's in Hammond Oregon!
as lucid kin of kesey may be apt to say hammond has rather unique oregonistic history

Originally the site of a Clatsop village called Ne-ahk-stow, Hammond serves as the gateway to Fort Stevens State Park. Located on the west side of Youngs Bay, near Astoria, the town was incorporated as New Astoria in 1899. In 1915, townspeople voted to change the name to Hammond in order to correspond with the name of railroad station and post office.
Hammond was named for Andrew B. Hammond, a Montana businessman who completed the Astoria and Columbia River Railroad from Astoria to Portland in 1898. In 1895, as an inducement to build the railroad, Astorian business people gave Andrew Hammond a subsidy of $300,000, plus 3,000 acres of land in Astoria and 1,800 acres on the peninsula across Youngs Bay, which ultimately became the towns of Flavel and New Astoria. The estimated value of the town lots at the time was $1,787,335.
Envisioning a new city that would compete with Astoria as the entrepôt of the Pacific Northwest, Andrew Hammond lost no time cashing in on his subsidy and began “carefully and scientifically” platting a city, including lots for houses, warehouses, factories, and wharves. In 1896, he incorporated the Flavel Land Development Company, partnering with several of the businessmen who had donated lands for the subsidy. The July 24, 1895, Oregonian predicted that New Astoria would become the “greatest harbor on the Pacific coast north of San Francisco” and raved that, “considering the position and its advantage, this point is unequalled in the United States as a site for a great city.” By the end of 1896, New Astoria had a population of six hundred people.
In 1903, Hammond purchased two thousand feet of waterfront from Skipanon Creek to Fort Stevens and announced plans for a mammoth sawmill to process his newly acquired timber in the Coast Range. Five years later, however, he purchased the Tongue Point lumber mill in Astoria, forsaking his namesake town and focusing instead on commercial development in the larger city. The town of Hammond became a bedroom community to Astoria and in 1991 was absorbed into the town of Warrenton.
but to be somewhat an original pnw ff nit if at wendys you were in warrenton across 101 corners from walmart and home diasporia

not sure yet how to best crop out lower right gray google map icons
but will soon first let you know next when we run out of any other sort of double neutral ground standard all intended right yet singularly too foreheaded bright with ideas how to connect multiple live money wires in a way never previously found safe within sniffing distance from any living electricians closet
I got an email offer from Taco Bell, get a Luxe value menu item for $0.99. Okay, but not enough to get me to visit today.
For no good reason I read the fine print at the bottom and man, it's too bad the offer wasn't what was in the fine print - a cantina chicken burrito, large drink and a luxe value menu item for $6.00. Considering that the burrito alone is $7.29 that would be an insane value.
Poked around the app and confirmed I just had the 99 cent offer. Bummer.
I pretty much moderate every single day of the year.
I think this went over your head.
Prolly should give Waffle House HQ a call.
And, like your modding, you have to deal with some amazingly drunken/stoned ********, especially after midnight.
