I have an A&W about 11 miles from me in a truck stop. They're not bad.
The only thing I'll eat at McDonalds is a sausage egg and cheese McMuffin.

This is what I mean by over saturating a market and corporate greed.
Someone like Culver's can use quality ingredients.
Someone like McDonald's has to use inferior (cheap) ingredients.

Canadian A & W and USA A & W are not the same though, they split off 50+ years ago.

Anecdotally I have never seen a burger from a Canadian A& W that looked much like the picture that Hank posted.

I wouldn’t even go as far as mediocre on the fries. They’re gross.
Everything else is great though.
Other than they’re always out of cheese curds.

I had heard of some of these places being in trouble, but a couple I had no idea.
Like McDonalds? and Taco Bueno.? KFC?
Why, because some nobody on Youtube says so? I know you're smarter than that, squeaky

Some franchisees just aren't cut out to run a business.

I have one about 1/2 mile from the house. Love the pretzel bites.Culvers is upper tier fast food. Loved their walleye dinner/sandwich during lent.
I miss not having one within 35 miles of me.
Also: I really like their fries.

Anytime you can sub cheese curds for fries is a win

We have talked about this many times on here. One of the issues with the fast food chains is the cost. We are paying outrageous prices for bad food. That is not a sustainable business model
