Baraka... you aren't human.

That said, perhaps you are the answer to the scourge that is Giant Hamburger.

I've eaten at the DD but never ventured into Coronary territory.

By the way, Leto, I think what Fres was saying we don't have is roadside joints. We do have plenty of diners. I put it down to the extensive highway systems of the US vs. the fairly simple highway system we have in Canada.

As for Diners... I am all for the Lakeview Lunch and breakfast at the Logan Grill.

You may be right. It seems that our roadside joints have corporized, as in they have taken the form of Tim Horton's almost everywhere that I drive.

I do fondly remember the Nipigon Cafe in, um...Nipigon.

Are you getting homesick?

I have been happy with McD's new breakfast burrito.

I'd get one now but I missed the turn over time

Lasereth · 03-31-2008, 08:14 AM

I stopped eating at McDonald's (and every other fast food place) once I figured out that Wendy's has the chicken sandwich combo + chili + diet drink for 600 calories. You can't beat that. That's about what a normal meal with proper serving size will set you back and it's from a damned fast food place. Just the french fries at a fast food place has more than that and you get the whole combo and drink.

I think the same way which is why I would get a happy meal. approx. 700 cheeseburger (300) small fries (250) small coke (150) calories and I get a toy for my inner child to play with. If I'm really trying to consider the calories, it's a hamburger (250) small fries (250) and water.

Of course I can just blow calories out of the water with the next meal... which is the norm.

A chicken sandwhich and a chili with a diet coke is gonna fill me up waaay more than a damn happy meal. I could eat a happy meal cheeseburger in 3 bites (seriously). Fries gone in 1 minute. I'd say the wendy's meal gets you approximately twice as much food for the same calories. Make that a diet drink at McDonald's and the calories count is lower though.

Cynthetiq · 03-31-2008, 09:45 AM

I forgot to say thanks for th wendy's tip, there aren't many of them around me not to mention they are few and far between in comparison to McD. I think I pass 2 McD's whereas the nearest Wendy's is a good walk from the office. I'll keep it in mind when I encounter one.

Homesick? Not really. I just miss breakfast at a diner. It's hard to find good bacon here.

As for roadside... I can't remember the name of the place but we used to go every year on the way to the cottage. They had the best burgers. Once it closed we started skipping food or we'd nip into the Tim Horton's drive thru.

Leto · 03-31-2008, 04:58 PM

Weber's maybe? But they're still a going concern up past Gasoline Alley:

Charlatan · 03-31-2008, 05:12 PM

Not there... this place was en route to Bancroft. We used to take a round about way to get there.

We also used to stop at Burleigh Falls but the little place that was great expanded a few years ago and the food kind of went downhill. It was better as a tiny greasy spoon.

What is up with putting a fried egg on a burger???

Clearly fried beef and mayo don't have enough cholesterol.

Yeah, but to blame fast food restaurants for people being fat/unhealthy is like blaming auto manufacturers for road accidents. People are fat/unhealthy because they eat shitty food ALL THE TIME and never exercise (and then there's the occasional person who actually has genetic problem).

Side note: HAHAHAHA oh robot chicken.

The_Jazz · 04-01-2008, 04:55 AM

I love Superdawg. It's on my way home from O'Hare (Nagle to Devon to Peterson), and when I've been on the road, it's easy to stop to get dinner for The_Wife and The_Kids. I prefer mine with everything, and the fries are best eaten on the premises. And the chocolate shakes are fantastic too. When The_Kids get a little older, we'll take them there since it's a drive-in, complete with carhops.

A little closer to home, we go to Wolfies (sorry, no web site), but I usually get the gyro since I'm addicted to the damn things. The hot dogs are great there, too, though.

Just add a slice of beet, and it's... Kiwi?

I'm not sure about the tasty part though.

Not much of a beet fan.

I love Micky Ds and Taco Bell and all the rest. MMMMMMMM. Just a matter of taste I guess.
