I guess this is all rather like talking about food at DL or WDW; it's kinda like love it or leave it. I don't get the love for Monte Cristos or Bengal BBQ for instance.

Stick with the waffles. Re: Chick-fil-a -- I've never been brave enough to walk in the door.

It frustrates my partner to no end. Luckily he does not like White Castle, so we don't eat there.)
Originally Posted By Kar2oonMan It is really difficult to go through life with a deep aversion to onions.<< I don't mind them, but I feel your pain in that I can't stand any kind of peanuts, peanut butter, walnuts, etc. They're in seemingly everything. Gag. It's tough to go through life hating an "ordinary" ingredient in lots of dishes.

Originally Posted By lilgoofymom I have never been to a White Castle resturant, but am ok with their frozen burgers. The are very much like Krystal burgers. I like that resturant. When we vacation where they have them we always make sure to stop in and snack on a few of them. We don't have any of those places anywhere near our house. Now Chick-fil-A is another story. We average eating at the Chick 3-4 times a week for lunch. We were told by my Cardiologist that Chick-fil-a is the healthier choices of fast food. If you are trying to watch the sodium, ask for chicken that has not been soaked/marinated in pickle juice. That is what gives them their flavor. I love Chick-fil-a!
