Arby's curly fries are the Num, but for burgers its a (maybe local) chain called Arctic Circle. Angus beef burgers for everything.

Taco Time's Casita Chicken Burrito, which has enchilada sauce, wins for Mexican.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I'm listening to this radio program and they are talking to this guy from the Children's Theatre in Mpls. Made me think of you!

Aw! I miss the Children's Theatre - they do amazing work.

Now all we have to do is install baby-sized pneumatic tubes across the continent.

That would be made of awesome.

Mmmm, In-N-Out. I personally like the Wendy's fries the best.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

People keep saying "Please! OPen a franchise here!" and In-N-Out keeps saying, "Nah, we're staying in Cali."

It's family-owned, not franchised, which is likely why they have better quality and fewer out-of-state locations. But I think a death in the family sometime recently may change their expansion plans.

Mm. Free lunch! I have salad and a po' boy and spinach lasagna and a brownie that's bigger than my palm.

People keep saying "Please! OPen a franchise here!" and In-N-Out keeps saying, "Nah, we're staying in Cali."

And they aren't just in California: also in Arizona and Nevada.

But I think a death in the family sometime recently may change their expansion plans.

There have been the death of both heirs. I think they are on to grandchildren at this point. eta actually, it's the grandchild's husband who is now president; Apparently Esther died last year. [link]

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I kinda dig a good Carl's Jr burger. And even thought it's not made of anything particularly dairy, a McDonald's chocolate shake on a hot day really hits the spot in the way real milkshakes don't for me--not that I don't love them.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I haven't had a good shake in donkey's years. Now I'm filled with the crave.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Now I really want to go to the Shake Shack. But I'm not going to, because it's still lunch time there, so long lines, and what I really need to do with my free afternoon is go to the stupid post office. I hate going to the stupid post office!

Jesse, I have a package to send. Can you please swing by and take it to the post office since you are already going?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Emmett and I go to Foster's Freeze fairly often. They have great shakes, though I think he likes Burgermeister better.

I'll take BK over McD if those are my choices, but In-n-Out reigns.

I can also go over to the Ferry Building and get In-n-Out quality fresh burgers at Taylor's Refresher, and on Farmer's Market days I can get a Prather Meat grilled burger that's insanely tasty (and healthy, since their meat is pure of all hormones and antibiotics).
