I have never seen a Taco Salad on the menu. The one I worked at always had long lines which lead out the door and people standing and waiting for a place to sit.

I had never heard of Culver’s prior to October, 2008, so I am not sure what it was like prior to that as they are fairly new in Arizona.

A $4 burger is expensive to you? Dag on dawn, I guess I've been living on Long Island a bit too long. That's pretty cheap here.

You’re most welcome comrade! The re-education camps are going to be full enough. If I can educate you now, the better off it will be for the Obamafueher.

Why shouldn’t they? Not everybody is broke. And they just might have customers that want something a little better than their usual junk.

I worked there for 6 years, I eat the food sometimes (didn’t eat much fast food before I worked there). My primary rule is to avoid the things that were on the menu when I worked there.

Didn’t have that rule then. Then I was a minimum wage worker getting 1 half priced or free (depending on what duties I was doing that day) meal every day I worked, 2 if it was a monster shift. Being a minimum wage worker sucks, I remember taking extra shifts just for the food.

Now I can be pickier, though sometimes life makes McD the best choice, but in those times I’d rather pay no attention to the man behind the curtain, so I get stuff that I never made.

looks like you do not have any Korean Restaurants up your way. We don’t have them here either, i went to one in Chicago. Different! Don’t miss the kimchi!

Kimchi is available in most of the markets in town. I eat it about once a month. Sometimes in place of sauerkraut. San Diego has lots of Korean restaurants in the Clairemont Mesa area.

We have a Mongolian BBQ here too but I’ve never been. My son and his wife have gone there though and rave about it. We have a place here called Genghis Grill - it sounds a lot like what you describe. We like to go there for lunch sometimes because we get a discount b/c we are county employees.

Strangely enough, there are no Applebee’s or Cracker Barrels in my city although there are in some of the surrounding suburbs.

I like to stop at CB when I’m on the road and get a good breakfast (which I hardly ever eat when I’m home).

I wish In and Out would open here. Someone posted a marvelous picture of their burgers here on FR, and they looked scrumptious and juicy; real hand-formed hamburger.

Ahem...that likely woulda been yours truly; every time I see a burger thread, I pop up a double-double pic to piss everybody that's hungry off....

In-N-Out is one of the very few reasons I ever want to go to Indio.

Our very first trip, believe it or not (because it's always lined up down the street), was Christmas Eve after church a couple of years ago....we went to the 4pm Mass and figured we'd eat at one of the local Mexican places afterwards............but every place was closed, even at 5:30, until we got to In-N-Out -- wide open, nobody in line, and their 25 (usually ass busting) employees waiting for customers.

I tend to get a better breakfast on my road trips as well. It's almost a necessity as my colleagues like to get on the road at 7 AM and we don't finish working until 9:30 PM. I keep a couple "Zone" bars and some bottles of water handy to get through the day. There isn't anywhere to eat when we are working on the rail cars in the field.

Do you have a Red Robin? Great burgers I’ve heard.

You heard correctly. They are delicious. Nearest one I know of (SF Bay Area) is in Concord, in the SunValley Mall.
