It seemed like the only McDonald’s in the county without a window, but it’s probably just as well because I would have gotten dinner there WAY too often! ---

Yes, please and thank you. ---

I don’t seek them out but I would accept a free one. What I object to most is the white bread - I can’t believe it’s not worthwhile for any burger joint to offer wheat bread. ---

Yes, I would love to buy it. I love burgers. Whenever me and my kids go out we usually eat burgers. ---

I said yes, last week. This is taking longer than I expected. This is not the kind of fast food that the name implies. ---

> [@Misnomer](#): > > According to the BK website, Santa Barbara is ~34 miles both east and west of the nearest ones. But it’s not like there are no fast food places there: half a dozen McDonald’s (and a McDonald’s corporate office), at least one Wendy’s, a Taco Bell, an In-N-Out Burger, etc. Just no Burger King. Interesting/weird. 🙂 There used to be one. It’s where the Chik-fil-A is now. ---
