I like it. We should all stop eating and buying at chains.
I don't remember the last time I got big-chain fast food. We don't when we're stationary, nor when traveling. Long ago in a galaxy far away, I used to enjoy the Hardee/Carl's sausage/egg biscuits occasionally, and probably 5-7 years ago I got food from Capt D's or Long John Silvers (don't remember which), Never been to a KFC since maybe 70-something. There are too many local/regional alternatives, food trucks, neighborhood places, etc. to pick plastic food.
More like 10 years ago when new owners changed to sexy huge bulging food that drizzled on scantily dressed women
But yeah, there was a time when Hardee/Carl's advertised about their biscuit expert who came in at 4:00 am to make the dough from scratch by hand. Those were real biscuits and made with lard and vegetable shortening.
We only had a Jack's Hamburgers in Auburn when I was growing up. Later on in my mid-twenties I realized I had never had a McDonald's and declared never having one to be a worthy goal. So far no McD products ever, but I have used their bathrooms a number of times.
Some of the roughest places have truly memorably great fast type, or very little waiting, food. One of my greatest finds was a Mexican restaurant in Amarillo one block north of the main highway in a real rough area full of scattered Bail Bond places. I just looked on Google for Bail places and there were none where the restaurant was, just lots of green grass. Oh well, that's progress.
And the really bad ones can be memorable too, like the place south of the main road in Winner, SD.
