Restaurant chain poll

Which of the following restaurants have you eaten at in approximately the last two years?

Multiple choices are allowed.

I would just point out that in addition to “Whataburger,” there is also a smaller chain in the Southeast called What-A-Burger.

“In the last two years” changes things for me a bit. Decades ago I lived on fast food. Lately, hardly at all.

Some of these are regional–so there’s a bias there.

If by “some of these” you mean “most of these”. I count 29 out of 58 poll options which, as far as I know, don’t have any locations in the greater Seattle/Tacoma area.

I voted before reading the “last two years” modifier.

That brings it down to just Panera and Subway.

Yeah, some of these I’ve never even heard of; and some I have heard of, but they don’t have 'em around here.
My understanding is that Checkers and Rally’s are essentially the same thing, so I selected the former in the poll, even though I’ve only ever been to the latter.

Hardees and Carl’s Jr. are pretty much the same too. Yet I have eaten at both. How sad…

ETA: I too missed the “in the last two years” modifier. That’s really gonna skew the results, Nemo. Who the hell reads the OP before voting? :wink:

Okay, the “in appoximately the last two years” bit should have been in the thread title.

I caught “last 2 years” just before I submitted, but my memory being what it is, I might have included something that was from farther back. Most of my choices would have been for 1 or maybe 2 times in the last few years, and mainly when on the road. In everyday life, I pretty much avoid fast food places. When I go out, I want a nice table, a server, and real plates and flatware. Bonus for a tablecloth. :smiley:

Like others I answered before I read the first post. There were several I had only eaten in once or twice and not in the last two years.

You guys are invoking TL;DR? The OP was fifteen words long. Just seventy-four letters.

Apparently we’ve entered the post-twitter era.

Wow, you really put alot of work typing all those names in.

Serving this up in the Cafe, from IMHO.

I almost did and forgot to remove one from my vote: Roy Rogers.

Nope. The poll question is, “Which of the following restaurants have you eaten at?”, followed by a list of options. The question is pretty straightforward, and didn’t seem to need any more explanation.

I checked off a lot of them, then got to the bottom, read “the last two years,” and went back and unchecked about 3/4 of the ones I had checked. Wish it had said that in the thread title.

Copy and paste.

I buy coffee (and only coffee, I don’t believe in coffee as drinkable dessert) at Starbucks when I am on the road and there is no ready alternative. I bought a green salad with chicken at a MacDonalds once, maybe twice (see, no ready alternative, above), but not within the last two years. And that would be it.

I guess I am not supporting the food service industry the way I should.

I missed the two year qualification as well.
