I've been thinking about you guys....

I see we have morphed into "places I love to go with unhealthy food that tastes so good..." No White Castles near me in CA, and Sonics are around, but sparse - but I drive by an In 'N Out everyday. Personally I think Ruby's diner makes a much better burger than any of those places, but to each his own. There's another place out here called Tommy's (aka Tommy Burger) that sort of epitomizes the draw of junk food: It takes a weak burger, adds a slice of tomato and covers the whole thing in questionable chili and... man does it taste good! Add an order of fries drowned in the same crappy chili and you are about as close to heaven as anybody is really going to get. (In more ways than one!)

Southern California seems to have more chains of fast food than anywhere I've been. From Popeyes, to Chik Fil A to Carl's Jr. To Jack In the Box, to Farmer Boys, Bob's Big Boy, Baha Fresh, El Pollo Loco, Johnny Rockets, Fatburger, well, I could go on for pages. A good place to ride and dine.
