The dealbreaker is the aioli. Nothing remotely mayo based anywhere near my burger.

I'm a midwest boy, so the White Castle is my tops. You can vote for your favorite at www.whitecastlevskrystal.com, and also see an old commercial that puts Samuel L. Jackson squarely on the Krystal side of the fence.

Growing up in Alabama, I have never had the pleasure of a White Castle burger, but after living in Utah, I always go to Krystal when I take a trip home.

The main places I've seen Sonic ads on cable in NYC has been on the Atlanta-based Turner channels (TNT, etc), and it sounds like the ads are part of the satellite feed for those channels. The space they set aside to sell to local businesses in the markets they service tends to get filled with spots that are *really* local.

Sonic confuses me. If the weather is at all inclement, my experience is hampered. I don't like eating in my car, so the stalls are horrible in my opinion. Sitting at the table is fine, but since the Sonic just opened in my town, it's crowded all the time.

The burgers are fair, better than most fast food joints and the tots are very good. The onion rings are excellent. They have great drinks, but take note they change the size of their cup during the "Happy Hour" so I think your getting about the same for the full priced drinks if you figure it out.

I'm just glad I don't have to frequent creepy carnivals and circuses to get my Corn Dog fix anymore. They have corn dogs and they are good.

The newness of it had me going quite a bit at first and I did enjoy quite a few burgers, but now that it has kind of lost it's shine, I'm seeing it as it really is. Just another fast food joint with a gimmick.

i guess its the same with long john silvers. i live in louisiana, so long john livers might as well not even exist. i think its a west coast thing? i have no idea. i see the commercials all the time.

shit. i always wondered this ever since i lived in gainesville, fl and now nyc. thank you.

To those who miss their DD Iced Coffee.

They tell you how to make it on the DD site. It's not very hard at all, and a hell of a lot cheaper to make at home. It takes a little trial and error to ge tit to your tastes, but once you perfect your recipe, you'll never pay for another iced coffee again, nor care if a DD opens up near you at all. Well, unless you crave a sugary sweet DD doghnut.

A better deal for them?! Bah! I'm sure they air them nationally just to tease me...
