I see the chicken size post, and match you this pathetic excuse of ‘food’. US penny for scale.

    Im not from the states but I know regional chains are also a thing. Theres some places that only really exist in one state or one area of the country.

    Have a look at the Joshua Weismann videos on YT where he tries burgers from all the major chains he can think of. Pretty interesting.

      You’re right. And even if a fast food chain is national it doesn’t mean there’s one within 100 miles from you

      For example, I get ads for Sonic all the time and would need to drive for three hours (on the freeway going 70 mph) to get there

        Im Australian and whenever I travel I look for US chains in other major cities I havent tried.

        I had 5 Guys in Glasgow of all places. Carls Jnr opened a location near me which I thought was weird. Its pretty good though.

          Just to note: US chains are significantly better outside the US. I don’t eat at chains in the US anymore, they’re expensive and I’m pretty sure my shit is more nutritious. Might taste better too.

            Its actually been a long term “Lotto list” item of mine to build out a big food court type establishment and bring over franchises that arent here. Like Popeyes, Sonic, Wendys, etc

            So long as I have the only one in Australia people would make the trip and pay a premium just to try a Popeyes chicken sandwich.
