Originally Posted By DAR We don't have a Sonic here, yet ads are shown all the time. We just got a Steak N Shake not too long ago. Culvers is really big around these parts. We have a local diner called George Webb's which celebrated its 60th and did offer .60 burgers for a week. I've heard nothing but raves about IN-N-OUT Burger but I get the feeling that I'm not going to be that impressed. I tried a Nathans Hot Dog a few years ago and thought that's it.

We long for something different. A steak house would be nice or Olive Garden or Red Lobster or something!

I guess they think the pasta and/or rice would counter the chemical taste, but they are wrong. One of the best joints for seafood here in Sacramento, The Rusty Duck, just closed it's doors. Boy that makes me sad.
