I think this thread is a conspiracy to make me want to move back to California.
In-N-Out...drooool.
:)

Say, I just ate at that very Steak N' Shake last week. You have to be careful. On certain nights, there are two clowns at that restaurant, making balloon animals and generally lousing the place up with their scary chipperness. Also, that's the most cleanliness-challenged S&S in the area. But I eat there anyway.

Oh, I like my In n' Out just basic double double. Maybe I'll indulge this weekend.

I never understood the White Castle thing. Maybe you have to grow up with them. When I did a trip with a group of people into White Castle country one person in the group insisted we stop. Everybody who had never had one before didn't really care for them (I didn't have one myself since they're made of cow so maybe I'd love them).

But whenever I visit the parents I do have to stop for lunch at Burgerville, so I understand the compulsion.

Oooh....we do have Burgermaster up here. They're pretty cool.


Oooh! Dick's! How could I forget Dick's?

I was gonna remind you of that, Prudence. Not to mention that we unleashed the evil that is Starbucks on an unsuspecting, not fully caffeinated population!

Do you have Zip's over there? Best tarter sauce anywhere.

Except that I don't drink coffee, so Starbucks is never the first thing on my mind. But I am really ashamed that I didn't think of the Seattle instutition that is Dick's. Hell, wasn't it even in Singles? Or am I imagining things?

I think it was. My friend's brother was!

Cool! My friend from dance class was in the Twin Peaks pilot. Which is vaguely food related, if you consider the pie.
