The only fast food I’ve been craving recently is actually something pretty hard to get where I am, and it’s not exactly the best version of what it is, either.

I speak of Long John Silver’s fried clams.

They‘re not particularly good fried clams, but they’re one of the very few places that sell fried clams at all. And I LOVE fried clams!

I can't find a Long John Silvers around. They used to be here. I prefer it over Captain Ds. Those are everywhere. There's a Chinese buffet that has excellent fried fish. In the end, if I want it, I usually make it at home. A light fan fry.
 

Well that’s a name I’d have never guessed to be a fast food chain 😂

Treasure Island was one of my fave books when I was a kid, and naming a food place after a particularly nasty pirate sounds a bit peculiar to me 🤔

We have some weird names for places. One Danny should be familiar with, Whataburger, is coming to a town near me. When I first heard the name I thought the girl was saying water burger. A watery burger didn't appeal to me.

oddly, I like LJS fish.
 

The Burger Kings around here close early. It does seem to put more pressure on the ones that stay open. In one area I frequent the line at McDonald's and Taco Bell are around the building. Arby's on the other hand while open doesn't seem to have the same traffic. I go there instead, I prefer it over McDonald's anyway.
I have to be in the mood for Arby's, otherwise, I go months in between getting food there.

Hehe! that's exactly what me and brothers called it, "Waterburger." Probably all the other kids, too.

Whataburger has become my favorite “cheap” burger chain. They have affordable, decent burgers with a fairly broad array of options and they’re open 24/7.
 

A&W is still my favorite burger, but they're getting pretty hard to find.
Sonic is probably my second-favorite, and they recently opened one up here.

Sonic’s fries were pretty good, as I recall. And their pretzel twist were a pleasant surprise. ( I get mine with mustard instead of their “cheese”…which also isn’t bad, but I’m distrustful of its being liquid at room temperature.)

But, along with their cherry limeades, my favorite thing they offered were their hot dogs. The chili cheese dogs are good, but every once in a while, they expand their hot dog menu to include things like chicago style dogs. Tasty + cheap!
