i used to frequent Wendys alot, and still eat there once in while. Big Boy is decent, KFC makes me sick and have never had the others. Used to have a hardees in Bellevue. There are hungry howies franchises in Columbus area.
i got to get to hooters and its not because i want to see the bimbo hooter girls.

Yes to Fuddruckers. I'm surprised but I don't think I've seen Arby's yet. Arby's has great market fresh sandwiches and where you can find them the best homestyle fries.

Burrito Beach kicks a**!!!! I LOVE their burritos and quesadillas.

About four blocks west of Union Station on Jackson at Halsted, you'll find a Taco Burrito King. MMMMM. And they sell Jarritos :)

Only one of these in Michigan...at Oakland University in Rochester. Supposed to be really good chicken there.
A friend of mine from my school wrote an essay to Oakland about that fact...got a pretty nice scholarship from it. :shock: :)

i left a few off my list but they are worth mentioning. East of Chicago Pizza, Dairy Queen, Hoggys, Max & Ermas, Noodles, Qdobas Mexican Grill, Olive Garden, Logans Steakhouse, and Burger King

This is my opinion but i think Sonic has the nastiest food out there.

And Zack, opinions vary among group members but Taco Bell is not my cup of tea
