Burger King closing 400 stores in 2023

when we go over to the usa we love going in there.

 

Not really a fast/drive though food place, but Fudruckers had good burgers. Haven’t seen one still open in several years.
A-W was also one of my favorites for a burger and their root beer. Not sure if there’s any of those left either

 

I haven't had BK in years , We do very little fast food ourselves.

 

We had a fudruckers. Went here once, it was ok. A&W in Canada is still going last I knew. Been 10 years or so since I was in one last. Those are good too.

 

Just thinking about eating at McDonald's make me cringe..

Right, I know people that'll pay that and then some for fast food multiple times a week. Yet they think I'm crazy if I go out for supper a hand full of times a year and pay $30 for a GOOD prime rib or ribeye dinner.

There's a quite a few around in central WI anyway, just saw another new one going up last weekend. (their root beer in the frosted mugs is great!)


A lot of peoples fast food around here now is grabbing a burger/chicken off the warming rack at Kwik Trip (convenience store/gas station).

 

lot better than some of the junk you get at a hamburger joint

 

Agreed.

 

We still have A&W's around here

 

A & W is alive and well in our part of the country. For burgers though, I prefer a chain called White Spot. Started in Vancouver, BC and spread to most of the province.

 

Woodwidow Glad you didn't say White Castle

We have two A&W within a 20 minute drive. They still have car hope at both of them. Insurance elminated the skates though

Any of you remember 'baby beers' at A&W? When we were kids, mom and dad would stop in there and my baby sister would get a 'baby beer' and it was free.

When I was a wee little lad I thought it was cool to pick up the phone in the booth inside the restaurant to order the food

 

So we just got back from our local favorite burger joint, Hamburger Mikey's. I took some pictures. That is the current burger of the month and his food looks like the advertisements. That burger is one of my favorites of his.
Then the awards.....



They have a tally of the amount of potatoes used to make fries since opening, its currently at 170,000 pounds. Lol

 

This is one of many reasons BK, McD's and pretty much most fast food Burger joints are not even on our radar.

 

After all these years, I still enjoy a good ol’ McDonald’s cheeseburger. My wife makes an awesome version at home. Amazing how it tastes with some fresh ground beef.

We don’t eat fast food all the much. I do enjoy a good Five Guys burger now and again. I will say In n’ Out makes a darn good burger. Had one of those last time we were in Vegas. Better than a burger I had for dinner on The Strip one night.

 

5 guys is our third go to behind the one above and another local called the Station bar and grill. I don't remember the last time I was at a BK or McDonald's
