Chain Restaurants

I have impulsively purchased a ticket to Los Angeles and am leaving next Tuesday and will be traveling around the southern California coastline for a week. After buying the ticket, my roommate and I were joking about how we will survive since we are practically broke, and we sarcastically decided that In N Out burger sounded like the best way feed ourselves. I began to think about fast food restaurants and their similarities and how certain ones can only be found in certain locations. The Midwest, like most of America, has a plethora of fast food. So, here are a couple restaurants that I can think of that are similar but are generally located in different regions of the U.S.

Taco Bell (Everywhere), Del Taco (West)
Hardees (Everywhere), Carl's Junior (West/South)
White Castle (Everywhere), Crystal Burger (South)
In N out Burger (West)
Jack in the Box (West)… The list goes on and on.

In conjunction with similar fast food restaurants, here is a clip from the opening of super size me, a documentary on Fast Food. Maybe trying to survive on fast food for a week isn't the greatest idea...you should check out the whole thing if you haven't seen it already. You probably will never want to eat McDonald's again, i quit eating it for six months along with most fast foods after I watched it.

Random Side Note

Just in case you are on your computer a lot and have not found a free radio station or music source that fits what you are looking for, my friend recommended this to me today. It runs really smoothly and works a lot like lastfm, but it fit my style a little better. Give it a try if you want to
