I love their special sauce. Dang, I may have to run an errand up near my local INO tomorrow.
Fast Foodie Ping!
We need Hungarian Gypsy to come back from her vacation...We’ve stayed. OH, how we have strayed, LOL!
Speaking of salads...I LOVE to make my own.
My local grocer sells three nicely cleaned “heads” of Romaine lettuce for under $2.
One, chopped up, is enough for two salads...so that shows you how much you’re overpaying for that “salad in a bag.” OMG! I have to actually CHOP my own lettuce? Will this TRIAL I call my life NEVER end? *SMIRK*
Add whatever is on hand...croutons, craisins, a chopped hard-boiled egg. Some small, canned shrimp or crab. A sprinkling of (shelled) sunflower seed, etc.
BUT...there has to be Blue Cheese dressing on the side for dipping. No substitutions. :)
An old ‘Weight Watchers’ tip: Have a big-@ss salad, but the dressing is on the side. Take a forkful of salad, then dip the edge of it in the dressing. You get all of the flavor, but less of the fat.
And seriously, we all KNOW that salad is just the ‘gateway’ to the salad dressing; just like cigs are the ‘gateway’ to the nicotine and white soda (7-Up to you infidels) is the ‘gateway’ to the brandy, LOL!
I agree about Five Guys.
Good quality fast food, reminded me of a chain we had in Florida about 30 years ago called Burger Chef.
Um...can they be shipped overnight? I’ll freepmail you an address, LOL!
Being a newly diagnose diabetic now on daily insulin, it looks like I am going to starve to death.
I wish you could too. That sounds fantastic! Fries with garlic...mmmmmm.
In-N-Out rocks. Better than almost all casual dining chains for great burgers and fries. Their employees also seem to hustle and have some gray matter.
Worth a stop for a quick meal if you have never been there.
I are there once, I did a take-out lunch while at work. It was very tasty, but later on I felt as though I had eaten a boat anchor. Maybe it was the black beans on the burrito.

You said it all!
I LOVE their franks, and their fries (at a real Nathans, not these little "coves" they open at TCBY and other places) are amazing.

bttt
We had Burger Chef in Kansas City many decades ago too. I think Hardees bought them out. IIRC, a few years ago, the Hardees around here had a "Return of the Chef" burger promotion.

Love the onion bun...
Can't get them here fresh but the frozen ones are not bad.
Worst thing on any menu - the thing that passes for a fish sandwich at McDonalds. What is that thing made out of?
Had to get from Las Vegas to Travis Air Force Base one time...started at the location on Tropicana in Glitter Gulch (double-double animal style with unsweet ice tea)...got real hungry and ordered a 3X3 animal style (triple meat & cheese) in Kettleman City...and didn’t have to eat (it seemed) until I arrived back on the East Coast.
The location on Sepulveda Blvd. down from LAX and LA Air Force Base is burned in my memory...I can get there by the aroma itself!...and it is the first stop I make on the West Coast, when I get to LA.
Enjoy all of the “Quality You Can Taste” whenever you can!
“animal” is 4 pieces of beef also! Just the thought of their burgers makes my hubbie(saltnlemons) groan painfully
with memories,lol!
