Random musings on restaurant chains. Didn't go deep on the methodology but I find it hard to believe Taco Bell, Subway, KFC, and Burger King are nowhere to be found. BK, especially, which is better than Mickey-Ds and Mickey-Ds is actually not that bad. I see Starbucks is a restaurant now? I have voluntarily been inside a Starbucks exactly four (4) times in my lifetime. Has something changed? Can you now get a well-done hamburger there to go with their burnt coffee? Dunkin Donuts? And then there's Arby's. WE HAVE THE fake MEAT! Finally Maine. I've never heard of numbers 1 and 3, and Flatbread Pizza is not pizza. But then it can be hard to get a real pizza up here to begin with.

I'm surprised either Taco Bell or Taco John's can remain in business selling their ersatz 'Mexican' menu when you consider the number of taco trucks and restaurants around these days, owned and operated by people who KNOW what authentic Mexican cuisine is like and how it is prepared versus what American tastebuds have become accustomed to.

We have a couple Taco Bells in the area but I've never seen a Taco Truck. I'd bet they cover a minuscule area of the country.
What? PA, home of beloved the World over Hershey’s Chocolate, ranks arch rival from NJ Mars M&Ms #1. Heresy, this shall not stand. Harrumph.
Although I had Hershey send a $16.00 bag of Reese’s Halloween shapes to WA state and they charged me $25 shipping.
Walk around the World that cost his brothers life, untold suffering by is wife and 3 kids, all for a couple lines for a couple years in a book to settle bar bets, and a job doing building maintenance. What ever blows his skirt up.
Mats Steen discovered the reward for doing good doesn’t have to be recognition from anyone, it can be just as valid in your head and heart.
