Arby is the opposite of high end


Here, have some dry roast beef on a hamburger bun



Incidentally, are Carl's Jr and Hardees owned by the same people?

Yeah, Carl's Jr. bought Hardee's and basically turned it into Carl's Jr. with a different name.

There was a Checkers at the corner of Rand and Dundee. It's still there, as an insurance agency for Spanish speakers. I liked their banana shakes.

There was a Checkers, or maybe even a Rally's, somewhere around Waukegan or Gurnee. I think it closed.

Well right. The guy who owns the franchise obviously wants it to stay in business. But the guy working the register or the deep fryer doesn't give a shit.


Not until you make assistant manager, and that's when the big bucks start rollin' in.

I seem to recall immmessedup17 and boyd excoriating Scorehead for some Chinese restaurant he likes in Schaumburg. I'm pretty sure after reading this that I'm going to go with Scorehead's dining recommendations a million times out of a million.

Just what the board needs. Another South Sider that went to a sub standard school and whose parents got to pay top dollar for it.

At least MC folks still can lay claim to majoring in football.

The sourdough burger is pretty much the only redeeming feature of the Hardee's menu save for the B&G.

You literally cannot fuck up B&G.

It's like Steak n Shake. It's not so much high-end fast food as it's fast food that happens to cost more than most fast food.


You are off base here, Hair. Steak n Shake is NOT fast food. It's all fresh meat, cooked on a grill. There are no steak n shakes where I live now, and it is horrible. You take it back, goddamnit!

Hardee's food is absolute garbage & most of them are disgustingly dirty.

no, that's the beauty of hardee's back in the day that was the late 90s/early00s. the food was so good and easy to make that it was employee-proof. once i was heading down to galesburg IL for a 3 day backpacker rap festival du jour (comeon, edan, sage, AND EYEDEA were there. abilities, unless you don't give a damn like the first track off of the many faces of oliver hart....

welp, it was rock falls, IL, rock island, IL, aka rock [something] IL on the path from chicago to galesburg.... and i shit you not, after ordering my sourdough burger combo with a shake (props to darko for being the only other man of reasonable taste in here) i noticed that i had to give my money to a kid in a dead kennedy's shirt (which i assume is not the standard-issue hardee's uniform) who i could smell from the car *************8

************8 = there's usually a vacuum effect from the car into the window of the drive through, which was most evident @ the taco bell @ meachem/biesterfield in the egv/schaumburg/conant-scum side of 53. that window made it so obvious that you had to load up your car 500% clambake style on the way there just so you had the satisfaction of seeing all of the lingering smoke zip up into their taco bell window and no doubt fire up the employees who themselves aren't beyond another ~45mins til they can go smoke their own. I'M SAYING THAT THE KID IN THE DEAD KENNEDYS SHIRT MANAGED TO TRANSCEND THIS WHOLE PHENOMENON OF THE SUCTION FROM CAR TO LATE NIGHT DRIVE THROUGH SPOT. YES, I COULD SMELL HIM IN MY CAR.

indeed, even tho i smelled the sins of a pudgy quasi-punk looking kid (he reminded me of a guy i know who used to sell lots of decent weed in high school, for example. the one kid who you witnessed get taken away by 3 plainclothes officers @ gunpoint for a chat back during the high school years. yes, i smelled that in the whip..... and at that point the hopes of a quality meal were truly in doubt.

or were they? indeed, hardees used to prove to be employee-proof insomuchas a place that continued to employ a kid in a dead kennedy's shirt for a uniform (he must have been "delivering a message" like all the sports teams out there) gave me a proper drive through experience. it's hard to fuck up that sourdough, but what i've experienced of hardee's in the last ~3 years has taught me that they're well on the path of doing so. or maybe this is a eugenics issue insomuchas that hardees had an indefatigable standard of employee-proof hardware to cook up their shit, but perhaps all that damn flouride in the water has worked out and now we've got an even dumber more visceral great american bovine duracell that can't even aspire to the levels of excellence required needed to operate hardee's equipment (read: none)

either way, i look forward to investigating this zombie hardees popping up in elk grove. all apologies to IMU, it's just that he's about the only person on here i've seen speak about my hometown of elk grove village, and i'll be damned if some hot hatch crew member is gonna be csfmb's "mister elk grove". shomer shabbos!

Carl's Jr. had that $6 burger and they had their Thickburgers. It was kind of funny because they had a no carb burger, which was a burger wrapped in lettuce with no bun.

I do think Hardees in a lot of the small midwestern towns have lousy food and service. That is a reflection of the people in those towns more than anything else in my opinion.

Hardees doesn't like Jesus and they support abortions. I think you should only eat at Chic-fil-a

Gotta love all the NW suburbs talk. Truly suburbia qua suburbia, as far as the component regions of Chicagoland go.

I've always imagined the south suburbs as being like Shelbyville in that episode where they steal the lemon tree, where everything is fundamentally the same but just different enough to remind you you're not home, like main roads called "183rd Street," Sox stuff instead of Cubs stuff, or Aurelio's instead of Lou Malnati's.

Steak & Shakes service is the worst. Just awful. Table service is slow as hell. When the food finally arrives, you wonder why you waited.
