I think Starbucks is as much a fast food place as 7-11 is. 

This is one of my joys of road trips. It’s amazing how regional snacks change after even a relatively short drive. 

I don’t know if it’s it still true but when I used to work for Oscar Mayer, prisons didn’t get the lowest grade. The company had bought (or created) a subsidiary so their name wouldn’t be on the sub-dog food dreck. We would slice three kids of smelly, tallowy meats to fill plastic bag lined boxes. The variety was…

wow auto-correct hates me today

They used to be a food court staple when their were shopping malls (and not lifestyle centers) usually nestled between Sbarro and Orange Julius. 

I used to love the fries at Steak Escape. Do those exist anymore?

I have to gas up before I go to a local Culvers drive through. Before smart phones I kept a book in the glove box so I didn’t nod off. 

I am a major fried fish fan. This developed as a kid growing up in Wisconsin and was bolstered by a year in London.

Wow thanks for the flashback to college. I had an ex who would say this all the time. Simpson’s quote?

Toaster waffles, jif and homemade strawberry jam, or strawberry rhubarb if its still available and I have consumed it all already,  

My go-to dating restaurant  in college was an Italian place called Paisan’s (sp?) It was in a horrible box shopping center but inside it was full of tall sided booths that made it seem that, save for the table right across from you, you were the only people dining. 

So the ideas to space eating will eat spacing?

I make calls for a living and unless there has been some big leap in voice recognition that no one else is using, I say no thank you. I said NO THANK YOU

Does anyone have any info on the ownership of this chain? I really want it to be a privately owned chain and not something owned by an equity group. 

I enjoy everything except the chicken biscuit. The sauce that was on mine had a strong odor of ammonia.

The only one I can eat is the over-stuffed Italian sausage ravioli and it appears COVID has wiped it out of existence. 

What is it with crime and restaurants? This reminds me of something that happened in the little Wisconsin town I grew up in.

Looks like it would need a trailer so you could drive out to the lake and drop it off. Off-season it could be a one person hunting cabin.

So it’s Culvers?

I completely agree on treating customer service people in this way, special request or no. I used to regularly get two fish from BK at 6:00 am on Friday mornings. I did this so much I got a nickname (the not too original “Fish Guy”) and they actually would be expecting me to the point I would have to warn them if I…
