Hey Andrew, here's a really good tip for ya. Never, ever, ever anger anyone who is preparing your food. Be as polite as you can. Always wait until after you have it in your hands to complain. Yes, there are people who will do various "things" to your food if you tick them off while they are cooking it.

As I noted elsewhere, three malicious employees at a Burger King Restaurant at a Rochester rest stop on Interstate 90 (NYS Thruway) are going to jail for putting "body fluids" and cleaning fluid in the food:

Yup! And if you complain and they offer to take your name down and give you a free meal the next time you visit, don't do it. They'll know it's you and they'll make sure to make special sauce just for you.

Also, always tip the pizza guy well when he/she delivers. They have your name and address and they do recognize the addresses that don't tip. I have a friend who works at Pizza Hut and trust me, they remember the good tippers and the bad tippers. The good tippers get their pizza deleivered first when the pizza guy gets sent out with multiple deliveries on one run.

Michael

You should have confused everyone and said Hungry Jack's. I really like their Aussie burger but stay clear of McDonalds burgers whenever possible.

My slant on Fast food. I am an expert on this, as I eat tons of it regularly.

Yesterday I went from Asheville to Knoxville, TN. It's a 110 mile drive. In Newport, TN, there is a very good Krystal drive-through that is worth the wait. Yummm.

I ate 10 of them. So did the guy that went with me. Yes, I still live today! White Castle cant hold a candle to Krystal. Krystal was here first, and will always be the best.

I dislike McDonalds. The meat is getting smaller and smaller. BK is OK, Wendy's is fine, except for the location near me that ripped me off at the drive-through twice...

Here's something that ticks me off. Look at the TV commercials. Notice how fine and good the item looks, then see what your order looks like. If we were smart, we would insist that what we get looks like the item in the pictures, or on TV.

Anybody eaten at Arby's lately? Ours only puts a sliver of meat on the roast beef sandwiches anymore. I bitched to Arby's International, but have gotten no answer, so I guess that I wont be eating there anymore. They suck.

Speaking of T.V. commercials that falsely emphasize the size their products, did anyone happen to notice (if you had to screen Spy Kids) that the Big Mac looked awful big in that one scene?

Bruce you may or may not change your mind when you taste a White Castle. As I sit here writing this post, I have six, hot delicious White Castle Hamburgers, ready to eat. I will reserve my decision until I taste a Krystal Burger they sound like they are identical. I have never heard of Krystal Burgers until this post.

How widespread are they?

Bob:

Krystal is the original. They've been here in the south since the 1930's. White Castle is the new kid in town. Around Nashville, I notice that most of the WC's are built very close to the existing Krystal locations.

One difference I noticed between the two is that WC adds catsup (ketchup) before you get them.

Krystals are at their best when the buns have soaked up some of the fried onion juice before the meat and cheese are added. Yuumm.

Here's something that can kill:

Get 6 cheese Krystals, a coke, and a bowl of chili. Eat it all and wait.
Your digestive system will stop shortly.

I love Krystals. There was one location here in town a few years ago, but it closed due to a lack of business. Not that the food was bad, they just opened the place in a bad location. Now if the build one by the interstate....near..my..house..Aaaahh.

Too much talk about fast food. I'm hungry. Can somebody please e-mail me a cheeseburger as an attachment to eat? Also e-mail some ice cold soda to drink. And don't "tamper" with it because I will be able to smell it before I take a bite/drink! My e-mail can hold unlimited size attachments, so don't be afraid to super-size.

Joe, Please taste this White Castle, which I am sure will taste your palate fantastic.I have e-mailed to you. Please let the folks at Krystal know that your pick is the "White Castle" Whities as they are known to those in the know have been around since the 30"s as well as Krystals. I have also been around since the 30's and I vote for the "Little Whitie" Yum, Yum Good. Joe, would I lead you astray. Trust me. Your Decision.

If I recall correctly, White Castle was established in 1929. Here in the midwest, we call 'em "slyders" (take a guess why!) and they are not pre-ketchuped. I grew up on these things. Next time I head east, I'll keep an eye out for a Krystal.

White Castle's first burger hit the palate in 1921. Visit the website to see what you are missing.

Brad as to Your Question about Wendy's Buns. according to a Manager I know, Wendy's does not specify that a particular Vendor or Bun be used on thier products, they do suggest to a franchise the products that Wendy's was founded on but it is ultimately the franchises decesion to follow it to the T.

As to the question of wether A&W is a national Chain. Yes there are several of them in San Antonio and Houston Tx all in Malls now. There are several older style A&W places here in Austin, all are now Dan's or Fran's Hamburger stands. There was one in my Hometown of Corpus Christi that was gone before I was old enough to remember.

Now another goodie that started in my hometown and is rapidly expanding now is Whataburger. Used to be great hamburgers until they started using soy patties for thier meat.
