When you cook it as crispy as I do there's not much to chjoose. Bv)=

They're centered mostly in Kentucky and Ohio. Oddly, since the Corp Rat
headquarters isa in Fort Walton Beach, Florida - there are only three
of the Quick Serve stores there. None in your state.
There used to was two stores here. I've no idea why they closed as the
chicken was *always* better done than KFC (not greasy) and the stores
were always busy when I visited.

There is that (unspoken) benefit to custom orders at a burger snatcher.

They're nothing special. We've got a local place called "Scoop du Jour"
which is pretty much like the I scream parlours of our youth. They eveb
do I Scream Sodas.
