In high school I worked at a McDonalds. When the meat is dry its because its been sitting in the "warmer" to long. They cook and store the meat for a certain time, a couple hours I believe.

This probably explains why I love the patties then. The mcd's I go to is super high traffic so everything is pretty freshly cooked.

We stopped using Hamburger Helper Mac and Cheese. Get a regular box of Mac and cheese and make it according to directions. Brown a pound of hamburger. Then mix hamburger and Mac and cheese with a can of cream of mushroom soup. Bake 30@350. Feel free to top with Frenches dried onions or bread crumbs or cheese. Blows HAH out of the water.

I still love the Cheesy Hashbrown Hamburger Helper though.

Hamburger helper is good. Fuck haters. It's literally a bunch of noodles, ground beef, and sauce. You not like stroganoff? Fuck off. I've only had 3-4 types, but Lasagna, Cheeseburger, and Stroganoff flavours are pretty good. It's fucking especially great if you've been working out or doing physical labor all day. Nothing beats coming home after chainsawing shit for 8 hours in 0 degree weather then pounding 1.5lbs of fucking meat, noodles, and tasty goop.

So Bros, I'm still new to the Seattle area so I use Yelp a lot for food. Was out with the family and I see it says an A&W is close by. Wife and I are feeling like something new so we decide that over Wendy's.

Now now, don't get too rustled. I was craving the supposedly amazing root beer! But we get there and in its place isn't an A&W at all, but a Dairy Queen!

Took the opportunity to try out a 1/2lb flamethrower burger. Because of this thread I was not unprepared and had an idea of what to get. Was not disappointed at all, and will go back again for it. Wife enjoyed the chili cheese dog.

There are two A&W locations in central MD, but they're both located in absolutely shitty areas. One is in Baltimore, so I guess one advantage is you can probably get your dick sucked for $20 out back. The other is near Southeast DC, which is where The Wire would have taken place if it had been set in DC. Sucks, because the few times I've visited A&Ws in other states I absolutely loved them.

I've always wondered by A&Ws were so rare.

Ive got one built into our local KFC. Papa burger and large cheese curd makes a great fucken meal. It's hit or miss on how well the put the burger together but all the ingredients have always been fresh so can overlook.

That 20 dollar BJ deal sounds pretty good.

I love A&W.

There's one out in Boulder City FYI if you decide to drive from Vegas to Hoover Dam or Grand Canyon. Probably one of the best ones service wise.

My town had an A&W when I was a kid. Do they still have telephones in the booths so you can order from your table?

Our A&W left about 15 years ago I think. The sign was left up for almost 5 years and the place was a sonic looking place near a park that had been long overrun with drug dealers and gay people. Not that I am judging just a part of town that went downhill over 30 years. I only had the rootbeer float once and that was easily 20+ years ago and I don't remember it being as great as the floats Woolworths had 30 years ago. The burger was good though.

Chik-Fil-A is opening up really close to where I live, instead of being 25 minutes away. I'm extremely excited, and my pregnant wife is as well. I already asked her if she wanted me to get her breakfast on the 9th when it opens. She said, damn well someone in this house is going to doing it, and you know it's not going to be me! I'm pretty excited about it as well, but given the location, I'm unsure how they are going to handle the line of cars. It's not really setup for that. :(

We have one opening a mile away too. We don't have any nearby so it's gonna be like when the sonic opens. What's good there??

Chick-fil-a is good, but way way overrated. It's got the 2nd best spicy chicken sandwich (behind Wendy's), and the milkshakes are great for a chain. Outside of that, it's pretty standard stuff that isn't worth going bananas for.

I think it's popularity is more due to the fact that you get friendly chicks taking your order instead of ghetto assholes.

Chik-fil-A spicy deluxe is better than Wendy's in my opinion.

Haha never thought about that but even in Atlanta where almost every fast food restaurant is 95% black people. Chick fil a is staffed mostly by white girls. This might run deeper than we think.

I like how you qualified your statement with "in my opinion" as if that makes you any less wrong.
