Arby's has normal fries in addition to curly. They suck.

best fries in America: Braum's. Even in the shittiest BFE Braum's, the crinkly fries are always cooked just right, not too much salt, not too much grease. Too bad nothing else is edible.

Crinkly fries = almost always sign of awesome restaurant fry potential.

There used to be a taco bell in London years ago, I don't thinkj there are any branches in the UK now, though.

When Eminem tours the UK he has Taco Bell flown in especially. Now _that_ is a dull post.

OK U GUYS

hardee's used to be it's own thing. 1n 1997 it was bought by carl's jr. at which point the hardee's food was replaced by the carl's jr food, making them de facto carl's jrs. in some cases the name was changed too.

Hardee's today
In 1997, the chain was acquired by CKE Restaurants, the parent company of the Carl's Jr. fast-food restaurant chain. (Imasco retained the few remaining Roy Rogers locations, though CKE is reported to do some supplying of them). In 1996 and 1997 CKE Restaurants bought out the remaining Burger Chef stores in the United States and converted those in the Eastern part of the country to the Hardee's brand. Over time, some Hardee's restaurants were converted to serve the relatively higher-quality hamburgers and other products available from Carl's Jr., and also took on the Carl's Jr. star logo in the process. Some locations were simply fully-rebranded Carl's Jr..
CKE Restaurants has been dual branding some Hardee's locations with Red Burrito, similar to its Green Burrito/Carl's Jr. dual brand concept.

2. Taco Bell
3. White Castle
4. Hardee's (pre-1997)

no, this is fascinating to me, when i worked in London this girl i knew LOVED the T-Bell and would take a 30 minute tube ride to zone 3 or 4 west london to go to it. she claimed it was an experimental taco bell and that if it failed they would never enter the UK market.

she was a head case and sometimes i suspected this taco bell didnt really exist.

yesterday i discovered an "egg roll" that was about the size of my forearm and purportedly stuffed with cheesesteak filling. it's taunting me now, from across the city.

― rip torn vagina (sandboxhulkington), Friday, 16 February 2007 17:37 (seventeen years ago) link

OK that's a pretty broad definition of egg roll but I think you should eat it.

This is just to say that I now have mantits and a belly, and the shirt I chose to wear to work this fine day accentuates both. I feel like the fat Soprano from Celebrity Fit Club.

Someone send me a taco.

yes

― jw (ex machina), Friday, 16 February 2007 18:04 (seventeen years ago) link

My high school biology textbook used the disturbing physical similarities of Finns (complete with pictures) to politely address the genetic qualities of isolated populations without calling it inbreeding.

Just a bit of trivia for y'all.
