1/4lb'ers don't have enough stuff on 'em to soak up the grease!
besides, truth be told I'm more of a Burger King dude if I have to do a burger (AND if there's not a Hardee's about).

yep....them double whoppers are delicious. If I had to pick a favorite fast food it would be an arbys. Yum. Thank God theres not one in the town I live in. I'd never lose any weight. Have managed to lose 10 lbs. since my exercise/diet. Down to 185...with 10 to go. Will stay in 33's (would prefer 32's but I think realistically these days) come hell or high water!  |

Yeah, Burger King generally rules...
Just don't eat at the one near Memorial and 71st in Tulsa...
I had to use the restroom there one day during a lunch break and when I entered I noticed a BK employee using the facility. I also noticed that when he completed his duties he DID NOT wash his hands on the way out.
Hardees are a thing of the past in Oklahoma, having all been taken over by Carl's Jr.
I used to love their Frisco Burger, but even so, I would generally always choose BK over Hardees. The Whopper, especially when it's on sale for 99 cents, is the clincher, and they have ketchup dispensers instead of the little packets, so you can just GORGE on ketchup.

In my first couple years of high school, I was absolutely obsessed with Hardee's Frisco Burger. Then all of the Hardee's in southeast Michigan got bought out by Wendy's, so they were all turned into Wendy's or Tim Horton's (actually, all except for the one near my old high school--the owner of that one held out for an extra couple years, and for quite a while, before finally selling, was the only Hardee's in the area).
I missed that Frisco Burger badly, so I was excited to find out that a Hardee's had opened near my mom's place, and when I was back there over New Year's, I made a point of going there. And guess what! No Frisco Burger! All my excited anticipation was for nothing. I don't know why they'd take that off the menu though, as it was by far the best thing they had. So yeah, it's back in southeastern Michigan now, but there's no longer a reason to care.
If I still lived around there I would start a campaign to bring back the Frisco Burger.

I, too, remember the day I discovered that Hardy's no longer carried the Frisco burger.
There was a Hardy's for years in my hometown, and I remember the first advertisements for the Frisco Burger. Sourdough bread, strips of bacon, swiss, mayonnaisse, lettuce, and a tomato that I'd be sure to have them remove. At the time, I within walking distance to Burger King, Hardy's, and McDonald's. Sure, Hardy's was the longest walk of the bunch, but for a Frisco Burger and a side of delicious Cajun battered curly fries? Completely worth it.
I ate many of those things, and declared it to be the Best Fast Food Burger, Ever.
Our Hardy's closed, and Wendy's reopened. After discovering that Wendy's no longer had a salad bar, I was pissed.
Years later, I was driving with my girlfriend through Mississippi, on the way back from Florida. We got the munchies and decided to pull over at a Hardy's. I was thrilled. I wasn't positive that they still had the Frisco Burger, but there was a growling hope in my stomach.
Then we get in there, and they don't even have fucking curly fries anymore. Fucking assholes changed their whole menu to all this expensive third-rate Whataburger type shit, with no Frisco Burger in sight. Fuck that place.

You guys are making me insanely hungry... I've never even HEARD of a Frisco burger and now I'm craving one! (nope, no such thing as Hardee's here.) If I'm going to eat "good" fast food, it's the grilled chicken burger at Wendy's. If I'm going all-out fat-fest, it's a quarter-pounder meal from Mickey D's. Those fries are on my list of top 20 most perfect foods ever. Burger King has no place in my life... although it did when I was 19/20 and it was the only place open in town after the bars closed. That Junior Whopper was the perfect nightcap. ~ OK, I have amazing pad thai and spring rolls for lunch today, and now all I really want is a burger. |

That spicy chicken is the best thing at Wendy's ... probably my favorite fast food meal ... yeah, definitely my favorite ... had it for lunch yesterday, actually. |

Wendy's is way too expensive. And their 99 cent menu sucks balls.
Regional chain called Checkers (called Rally's closer to New Orleans.) They have the best fast food on earth, and these incredible deals. Usually they have a "2 for $4" or "2 for $3" specials, and it's always on these enormous sandwiches. Stuff like the "Cheddar Double Cheddar" and the "Chicken Ranch Swiss." And you can select cheddar or Swiss on anything. Best fries in the world, and some kickass chili fries. Mmmm.

There are a few Rally's in metro Detroit actually, so it's not strictly regional.

Wasn't sure how far they stretched out. Just know that they're only in select places, and they cross-promote like hell with NASCAR.
They're delicious, but notorious for having the most idiot workers in all of fast food. Which is quite a feet. Usually I pull up to the window, sit there for about a minute and a half, and then hear a moronic sounding, "I can help you?"
