HEY! We Don't Have That Where I Live.


Recommended Posts

Sonic. If only for their cherry lime cream slush. Incredible drink combinations, but the food is nothing to write home about.

 

Yea, I see Sonic commercials all the time, but there isn't one anywhere close to Chicago (which is weird that I always see commercials for them), and I've yet to have it.

i used to only get sonic when i visited my friend in texas. then they put one close to my college and i got so excited. then when i could eat there on a regular basis i realized that i didn't even like it that much. the one close to me now has THE WORST service. i got a milkshake once that was, i kid you not, warm. or at least it tasted that way. like warm, kind of foamy sludge. not even like melted ice cream.

 

the only thing i want from there is the cherry limeade. i'd drink that by the gallon.

I never understood the appeal of In N Out after I first had it. It was good but nothing to write home about.

 

Then as time went on I realized every time I passed a fast food joint, I was wishing it was an In N Out.

 

The things that were immediately noticeable to me:

 

1.  Their produce is fresh each and every time.

 

2.  Their workers aren't rude and I've never had a mistake on what I order, leading me to believe they don't hire stupid people either.

Not sure about religious, but I think I heard from somebody before that the kids they have working for them that are in school, if their grades drop, they'll get fired.

 

Since you mention Chic-fil-a's religious orientation.  I'd like to add that last Sunday, something struck me to get Chic-fil-a as I was coming back home from doing errands and as I passed it, remembered they aren't open on Sundays.  Then I thought to myself, "this is discrimination against non-religious people!  how dare they!"  hahaha

i had in n out once when i was in CA. but since i don't eat red meat, i just had, uh, a grilled cheese. so i doubt i can appreciate it's....awesomeness?

 

Grilled cheese animal style + Neapolitan milkshake= droooooool.

 

 

 

 

Also, I really want a spicy chicken sandwich from Chic Fil A now.

 

 

EDIT: I'm pretty sure it's just human nature to crave Chic Fil A on a Sunday.

I was stoked that Michigan got five guys, but there isn't really one close to me. Today I really want Qdoba, but the closest one is 40 minutes away.

 

I once made the mistake of posting on face book (after I ate there for the first time) something along the lines of "I had 5 guys for the first time today..." needless to say, lots of jokes were made.

Does anyone have Smashburger?  We don't have an In and Out yet, but I heard they were building one soon. 5 guys is ok, but once I had Smashburger I never went back. 

 

One thing we have only in Texas is Whataburger. Be jealous….but not really. It's only good for late night/early morning drunken food binges, and when that happens and your not eating asada tacos at a taco truck where all they speak is spanish then you're not doing it right.
