I want to know why we don't have a damn Sonic - we get their commercials but the closest one is in Delaware. WTF?

We get commercials here in CT, and there's not one in New England. We used to get Quizno's commercials as well before there was one in the area. For some reason they just like to tease us.

Yeah, the SONIC commercials make me mad. When Krispy Kreme opened in CT, we took a couple of roadtrips to get them. They're still the only donuts I'll eat.
I'm so glad we have Quiznos now. It's just Sonic I really want. And I'm going to visit an In N Out as soon as I can get on the west coast.

Are there any in MA? I know the Prudential one closed; I used to get something there when I'd go to Copley/Prudential for Christmas shopping, but it was never all that busy.

Me too! We need one in New England, somewhere!!

When we flew out of the New Orleans airport the Saturday after Thanskgiving, we got there good and early and were looking forward to eating Sonic for lunch. The place was closed!!

So we waited in the long line for a catfish po boy at Popeyes, only to find that they were out of bread. It was a Subway for us.

Someone mentioned Super Dog... we had that for dinner when we connected in Chicago. Oh, was that good!!!

I read in the Globe that that was due to a dispute with the landlord. Sad! Then the one in Medford closed. According to KrispyKreme.com, the only one left is Dedham.

I agree about the Sonic commercials. The food looks so yummy in the commercials, yet the closest one here is the next state over and down a ways. I went to Florida to visit my grandparents a few years ago and as we were driving somewhere, I was so excited to see a Sonic! I tried it, and it was so good. I wish we had one in Michigan.

Ok...despite the fact i would crawl on my belly over broken glass to get to a White Castle....and not the ones in the freezer section of WalMart....

if we found a Sonic, what is the best thing on the menu?? FYI the current burgers at Checkers..some kind of steak double burger thing...is better than any Big Mac in case you find a Checkers and want to try it.

Once went all the way to Baltimore just to try Popeye's..savored that chicken leg like it was the "last chicken in Atlanta" like in Gone with the Wind....so incredible and such a change then when all we had was KFC.

In fact, should anyone ever have a huge box of White Castle....let me know...will meet you by the Maryland I 270 visitors center...will trade Checkers burgers for those marvelous gems!!(have to love mustard tho' to truely appreciate them, huh?)

And one more, cant stand it....too many posts: what is an In and Out...where is it..and what is so super?? It is like it is an entire new country when you don't have the newer fast foods but then again, I have three Roy Rogers within twenty miles of me....guess it is a tradeoff

I really don't get the appeal of White Castle. (Or Krystal Burgers, for that matter.) Of course, I hate onions on burgers, and they both load up on the chopped onions. But I want a real burger, not a burgerette.

The milkshakes and slushy fruit drinks (can't remember right now what they call them). Otherwise, the food is just "eh" -- not bad but not great. The reason to go there is for the drive-in experience, not for the food.

Popeye's is good, but Bojangles is much better.

Just so you know, you can edit your posts (click on the "edit" button) and add to them rather than creating a new post.

Google In N Out. Also, google 100x100+In N Out for the images. I think they're only in CA and AZ.
And please, edit your post if you've got more to say. Triple posting is not kosher for messageboard etiquette.

Your not a true so californian if In and Out is not on the top of your list.

In and out
Chick-fil-A ( loved it in Arkansas and now there here in calif)
Braums (both ice cream and their burgers)
Albertos
SONIC! ( give me a cherry lime-aide or a sweatheart shake anyday!)
We only have one in so calif and that is by the park ( disneyland)

Tom's burgers ( calif thing)

We have them in Nevada too. In fact UNLV has one right next to Campus.

Sorry, but Bojangles always wins out over Popeye's. I could live on the country ham biscuits alone -- well, except for the whole clogging my arteries thing -- and the tea.
