not that carl's "jr.", jen...

anyhoo..keeping with my under-rated theme from a day or two ago...

the 6 dollar guacamole burger is very underrated.

now that i think about it, does carl's jr. exist in the southeast? i believe hardees might be synonymous.

Here in the South, we have Hardees and no guacamole.

No, but we do have the Monster Chili-Cheese Burger.

The Mickey D's Quarter Pounder w/cheese is still the staple of any proper diet.

Double Quarter Pounder actually. I like sticking toothpicks in them, and then serving them as snacks at parties. :thumbsup:

They're just now starting Sonic franchises in Minnesota. The car hops wear ice skates.

Best fast food fries? All things being equal...fresh out of the grease and adequately salted...

McDonald's

Here's a question I've asked in my column before.

How come if you go into McDonalds, the fries are choked with salt despite the easy availability of salt shakers, but if you order at the drive-through you can't find the first crystal of salt on the fries? And they don't give you any.

So you drive off, taste the first fry and it's dry and cardboardy. You either eat them anyway or turn the fuck around and go inside, which defeats the purpose of the drive through anyway.

Why? Can anybody answer why drive-through fries are salt-free 95% of the time?

Best fast food fries: McDonalds

Best Fat Food Heart Attack Fries: Krystals Chili Cheese Fries

Worst Fast Food Fries: Burger King by a mile (what the hell is that pasty aftertaste?)

Financial issues. All you have to do is check your sack (pun intended) and ask for salt if they have not supplied it.
Used to most chains threw handfuls of salt, ketchup, napkins and maybe a peppermint into each order. There was a lot of waste and extra expense in doing this. So they quit doing it. It's still there if you request it.

Some kind of synthetic lard that sticks to the roof of your mouth.

But why do the ones in the restaurant not need any salt at all while the ones you get at the drive-through are salt free?

I've never had to salt a fry when dining in.

I have no idea. I've never been to McDonalds for a dine in experience.

one theory...

the drive-thru employee must hear kiss softly playing while you place the order.

they think this person is an old fart and needs to watch his blood pressure.

Whatever I'm playing will be loud.

That said, I've been in more of the "schmaltz" mode lately. Bee Gees and other 70s schlock.
