Hi Dave,

 DD> Those (airport kiosks) are necessarily "limited menu" kinds of places.
 DD> The regular stand-alone Wendy's will have the baked potato option and
 DD> they are decent plus.

 RH> I'll have to take your word for it as we'd not been inside one in years
 RH> prior to that. Probably even more years before we do go back in.

 DD> I have their app on my cell phone which converts "in-line" time to
 DD> "on- line" time. They have a "Biggie Bag" deal which gives you a
 DD> double-stack cheeseburger (two patties), a Jr. bacon cheeseburger
 DD> (single patty) or
 DD> a "Crispy Chicken" with small fries, 4 chicken nuggets (regular or
 DD> spicy) and a small drink for U$5. Another dollar will get you a Bacon
 DD> Double
 DD> Stack or a BLT crispy chicken in the bag instead of their entry level
 DD> brothers. I do that a couple tiomes per week when getting off shift
 DD> and heading for home. Saves stopping at the cashier and the order is
 DD> ready before I get to the delivery window.

That would be handy if you used it regularly. We're irregular enough at
fast food places that it probably wouldn't do us any good. A CFA app,
maybe. Went by our regular CFA after getting back in town from Alaska
and found them closed for renovation. Since they usually have double
lane cars out to the street & beyond, I'm thinking the only other CFA in
town has picked up their business so I'm not even going to suggest going
there for a while. They also have a double lane of cars going (almost)
to the street--more parking lot space for them to wind around before
hitting the street.


 DD> Several things at play here ... I'm not a fan of Chick Filly, even if
 DD> I could order ahead on-line or in an app I'd still have to wait for
 DD> the line to creep forward. And the CFA store is about as far from me
 DD> as it can be and still be in the same city. Within a few blocks I have
 DD> a
 DD> McDonald's, a Herdee's, and a Freddies Frozen Custard & Burgers in a
 DD> little cluster. A little further out I have Popeyes, Wendy's Taco
 DD> Bell, Burger Whop, Arbee's, Culver's, and several wing-ding places, as
 DD> well
 DD> as a Subway, Jimmy John's, Chipotle, and a Panda Express for Chinese
 DD> Fats Food.


Pays your money, takes your choice. We have quite a few (but not all) of
those, but scattered thru the town. Hardees closed up shop a couple of
years ago and nobody has taken over their building.
