LOL, it was built on a hill in front of a busy 4-lane highway. I imagine it was dangerous for the waitresses on rollerskates :)
The Sonic food developers have got to be a bunch of fat stoners.
LOLOL!! It's like they're daring the food police to come after them :)
The closest we have to that now is Hardees (aka Carl's Jr.) They have chili-cheese fries--there's so much chili and cheese on 'em you need a spoon to find the fries. And my personal favorite: The Six Dollar (really $3.99) Bacon Thickburger!
And for breakfast ...
:-D
They have healthy stuff, too, but if I'm driving 20 minutes (the Sonic isn't really close) I'm going for the junk.
Bacon Thickburger!
That is a big burger. For some reason we've never had Hardee's or Carl's Jr. near here.
In high school, my friend was way out in west central IL (which is very country) with his family. I don't remember the circumstances, but they wanted to stop for food and couldn't find any place. So they asked some kids where there were places to eat. The older kid (about 10) named off a bunch of places and then said, "Oh and there is a Hardees. That's some good eatin!" The other little boy nodded and said, "It sure is!"
That story still cracks me up.
We have Hardee's here. We'll have to check that out sometime. My son didn't care for hamburgers for the longest time, now he'll them. He likes them plain or with bacon and cheese, that's it.
We have Red Robin and they are pretty good, but, if I'm going to have a burger I like going to Max & Ermas.
On Monday's they have a buy one get one free special on their gourmet burgers. I like their Tortilla burger. A 10 ounce burger with cheddar, pepper jack, jalapenos & tortilla strips, on a bun, with a small side of soup for dunking, plus the lettuce, tomato and onion on the side so you can fix it the way you want.
I eat the tortillas off the burger first though. We found a curious thing though with this place. All burgers have the Max which is 10 ounces or the Erma which is 6 ounces. For some reason the Erma is not anywhere near as good as the Max.
The first time my husband went he got an Erma sized burger and found it unexceptional, so we went back another time and he got the Max and he kept talking about how good it was all the way home. I have no idea why there would be such a big difference in taste, but there is. I told my cousin, whole told me about this restaurant, and she said that she has heard that from a lot of people. So, now I tell people if they go there for a burger to get the bigger sized one.
Yum!! Both of those look really good!!
