Burger King TAXI to victory lasted two weeks

Pre-1983 Roy Roger's roast beef sandwiches were to die for.  I tried one recently and could not believe that they are legally allowed to call that substance in between the bread "roast beef" considering it must be at least 51% chemicals by weight.

Also, the Roy Rogers I went to in the old days was by the Sheraton.  I think the Hardees<->RR you are remembering was the one by South Lakes.

Rax roast beef > all other chains.

I think the chain went totally under years ago though

Had my first job there when I was 16!  Hilarious.  Yeah, they've been gone for a while now.  Seriously, though, it was a real life "McDowell's".  Everything looked like Wendy's, but the food was from Arby's.

I came across a Rax waaay out in east bufu ohio a few years ago.  It's like they're only .. wait a sec, internet..
Wikipedia is 

Also mentions Burger Chef.. goddamn do I miss them. They had the best, coolest fucking "Happy Meals" as a kid.  Bigass plastic Cars, Boats, etc that your food came in then you could put stickers on to play with.

ed: Holy crap I thought I'd imagined those pop-out C3-P0 and R2-D2 toys.. it wasn't something McD's or BK ever would've done and I didn't remember Burger Chef having anything but the boat and cars.

Burger Chef was the shit when I was a kid. I remember fuckall about the food, I bitched for my parents to take me there because of the toys. I barely remember that fucking vampire count guy that was their mascot. Those toys kicked ass.

I also used to love a restaurant called Sambo's when I was a kid. It was like a cleaner version of a Denny's, probably only in the south, because no way could you get away with a joint named SAMBO'S anywhere else. I loved it because I could get a pancake and bacon breakfast at night. Breakfast for dinner rules.

Isn't that the chain referenced in Ghost World?

Edit: Checked, and actually that was the even more unbelievably-named "Coon Chicken Inn".

Look!  The first one is still there!   It's probably a bit far for a late night breakfast, though.

I remember that Sambos had really great pancakes.

I had a Sambo's tiger when I was a kid. Then they closed it down or changed the name or something. I remember that because it was my first memory of racism. After that I kept thinking of black people as Sambo. So...fuck you, anti-racist racists for making my childhood mind racist.

This is a thread about Fast Food?  Bah, I've been skipping it for so long for no reason!

We have Five Guys Burger's and Fries near here.  It's delicious.  They make a wicked double cheeseburger w/ bacon.  In fact, I shall go there tomorrow.

Regarding donuts, there is this place in Boulder, CO. called Tastefully Toasted.  I thought it was a coffee place.  It's not, it's a custom donuts place.  Which is ridiculous.  We used to go to Qdoba's for some nachos, then swing by that place for a dozen donuts.  That's how you get your freshman 15 to turn into an unhealthy junior 40.

I ignored this thread way too long, too. Thought it was about LotRO :P

I mostly hit up Wendy's for a large #2 combo. Because it's like two blocks from my ghetto pad. And KFC is actually pretty expensive. And BK is yucky, though their new (mcdonalds) fries are not bad. McD's....are they the one with the maple pancake thingies? Those rock. I mean, like a rock in the belly, but they taste good.

For lunch, my 'fast food' is always pizza or a sub from my local pizza shop because they are splendicious.

I too am old and decrepit enough to have dined in a Sambo's. From what I remember it was quite tasty.
