    I guarantee a Chipotle franchise manager is getting mad if you put them in Hardee's tier. Of course maybe they shouldn't have had all that e coli

    They both offer better food and experience than BK and McD. Breakfast is a big booster for Hardee’s too.

    True, this is the difference between Hardee's rest of the day and Hardee's breakfast

    I left off all the sandwich and burrito shops bc for the most part they don't have a drive through. Same with Five Guys.

    We got a Culver's near us recently. Only tried it once but the burgers were meh to me. Not bad, not great. The shakes were great though. Need to try more of their menu.

    Famous star with cheese and an order of criss cuts with a side of classic sauce is a better burger/fry combo than pretty much anywhere else.

    Chipotle is bland white people food. Acceptable if you live somewhere without Mexican immigrants I guess

    Hardee's was the only fast food restaurant my small SC town had growing up. Before Pizza Hut, before Burger King, before Subway, there was only Hardee's. Maybe that's why I associate it with the lowest of the low. Town has since gotten a McDonald's but that's still it

    I wouldn't say that I ever crave taco bell, but it's not bad once in blue moon. I've also never gotten the shits from taco bell. Must have an iron stomach. :dblnick:

    Also Jimmy John's is decent...500x better than Subway.

    It's the same thing. Same company. Same Star logo. Carl's Jr out west, Hardees in the east. Both have regional things but

    Hardee's had some Nashville Hot chicken tenders for a minute that were pretty damn good. Hot and a very solid chicken tender, better than any non-specialized-chicken chain.

    What’s everyone think of A&W? Often you’ll find them co-located with LJS.

    That Popeye’s Chicken sandwich breast is just so much bigger and juicier than anyone else’s out there that it’s changed my perspective on others - like going back to someplace you’d only ever visited as a child. The Wendy’s one seems smaller now, but I don’t know if that’s actually true.

    Used to wreck their double bacon burgers and root beer floats during lunch for a summer job I had in HS. Only one near me now is like 50 mins away.

    Also only place around this will sell you a double spicy chicken. Although I generally go with a couple of the regulars.

    They allow you to mix and match from their "2 for X" too so you can get a double cheeseburger and a spicy chicken. There's not one remotely close to me so it's been months since I've had it. Just so happens that wife has a hair appointment today and it's about 10 minutes from checkers so I do believe that will be dinner.
