“But to the author, I will say:

How about changing the last sentence to: “Prepare to be conserved”.
Todd Palin must be one hell of a man!

Hey, that’s socialism in action.
Don’t like it?
Take it up with Premier Hussein.

Now I'm not calling Jake a bit shallow in the experience department when he is observing popular trends, but Jake might want to get out of the leftburbs for just a minute or two.
Granite City is about the best of that bunch.
Yes...Wendy’s is way too expensive for what you get.
Stay in the value menu and its not to bad. I bring my own drink, and hit the drive thru. I eat pretty good for 3.50.
Not out on the road near as much as I use to. So likely won’t be making that stop any more (plus the wallet screams “he!! no” now)
I'd love to see the nationwide opening of 'Sarah's Caribou Burgers'. I'd buy a lot of them!
Dude's paying 15 bucks for a burger at Red Robin? Where is he? On the moon?
He's probably upset they don't give him enough crayons to solve the placemat maze.
We have Subways popping up like zits on a teenager around here. Lots of them doubling up with gas stations/convenience stores.
I like Subway, but there's just something about the heavy smell of the breads that permeate every inch of the place. And some of their breads don't smell all that great.
5 Guys is about the same cost as Wendy’s...and 100X better.
1) Sonic survives because in many small town, it’s the ONLY fast food joint for miles.
2) I have been saying this since 2008, Kiss Wendy’s Goodbye.
3) Why go to Denny’s, especially in urban areas. it’s basically a black hang out with Open Season on whitey actually listed on the menu.
4) Arbys will be a crap shoot.
5) Domino’s are located near military bases and college campuses. They already have a built in market of stoned college kids and 24 hour enlisted guys who will always by their product.
Typical liberal. Maybe taking up parking spaces that would be used by paying customers is cutting into the sales, but apparently he doesn't care as long as he gets free parking for Six Flags. Liberals claim to care about other people, but really its all only ever about themselves.
I love 5 Guys french fries and hot dogs but their burgers make sick to my stomach.
They serve food at Rick’s but thats now what men go there for! LOL
Bite me, Bozo (to the author of the article)
Yea I shoulda stopped there, but I didn’t and was subjected to his “suggestion” for Wendy’s: “First step: Enough of the damned sea-salt french fries.”
The Sea Salt Natural Cut fries are the best thing Wendy’s has done for a while. Second being the Applewood bacon.
Now where Wendy’s fraked up (besides the entire getting into bed with Arby’s after Dave Thomas died) was spending money on developing vanilla frosties and frosty shakes. Neither are frosties and neither are any good.
Jack in the Box’s shakes are thicker than Frosty shakes and the fake frosty blizzard knockoffs are straw food where they should be spoon food. So may as well go to DQ if I want a Blizzard.
Hell even Arctic Circle does better and you don’t see many of them around any longer, unless you find one that’s a bizarre marriage of KFC/Arctic Circle.
Don’t even get me started on the downfall of KFC ever since Col Sanders passed away....
Whoa sorry went off on a rant...
I think that restaurants are suffering economic stresses from have a limited work pool. Fast food restaurants were a source of high school and collage student jobs. So you had bright,energetic, ethical, hygienic individuals who worked hard . They viewed a fast food job as a stepping stone. Now we have illegals and lower class people working at fast food places that cost these businesses more. The current work pool individuals are not reliable, make mistake that result in waste, don’t show for work or do something that results in litigation.

I watched a FOX interview with an owner of some IHOP restaurants who said Obamacare is basically going to cause him to raise his prices by 5%. He owns 10 IHOPs in Illinois and his revenue per employee is $58,000 per year and profit is 3,000 per employee per year.
The penalty for not providing health insurance under Obamacare will be $2,000 per employee and the penalty isn’t deductible, so he’ll actually have to make $2,800 additional profit per employee. Most restaurant profits per employee are similar, so Obamacare will directly cause a 5% increase in the price of eating out. And his workers still won’t have health insurance.
Wow! Arctic Circle. I haven’t been to one since I was a kid in Montana. Glad to see they still exist.
I second that motion on KFC. The Colonel would be spinning in his grave if he knew how low-rent his product has become.
