So, when I was a kid, I was pretty much a fast food junkie. I ate it very often and always would go to grab a quick bite before Karate Class or some other thing I did. Today, with the busy lifestyle I often live, I find myself having to resort to eating fast food just to have a quick fill-up. Here in California, I have been able to experience a few places that aren't see on the East Coast much, or at least have driven by them. Here are a few with some of my reviews:
In-N-Out Burger
Probably the staple of West Coast fast food. This place is famous for their very good burgers and very simple menu. Basically, your choices are burger, cheeseburger, double double (self explanatory) and fries. Soda and milk shakes for beverages (shakes are very good). They have a "secret menu" which allows you to craft your burger in different ways. Very very good food and a very easy choice to decide what to eat!
The first In-N-Out Burger I went to in San Francisco
Carl's Jr.
This is another place that's famous for their burgers. I really enjoyed the variety they offered here. Everything from their famous Big Carl burger, to Western Bacon Cheesburgers, and even Teriyaki Burgers, complete with grilled Pineapple. They had regular burgers or "six dollar angus" burgers which are probably better meat. They also had chicken sandwiches and other options. Very good if you like burgers and probably my #2 choice.
Funny Ad I Found
Jack in the Box
This was another place that had multiple burger choices as well as pretty good chicken sandwiches. Overall a good variety, but the quality was much lower than what I was hoping for. The Sourdough Jack was pretty good though. Can't rate it higher than #3 on the list. Something about that clown though really creeps me out (maybe it was the large mural of him right next to the table I ate at).
Crazy Clown!!
Places I've Yet to Try, but Certainly Will:
Wienerschnitzel
They claim themselves as the "World's Largest Hot Dog Chain" but apparently Wienerschnitzel is not even a hot dog. We'll see when I go there. I hear mixed reviews.
Bob's Big Boy
Seem's like a very good place that's not far from the Oakwood Apartments. Definitely think I'll enjoy what they'll have to offer.
Places That Are Also in California and the East Coast:
McDonald's, Burger King, Wendy's, Subway, Quizno's, KFC, Pizza Hut, and best of all............A&W!!!!!!
Heaven in a Mug!!

So, I'm at work at the CC and I FINALLY got around to reading your blog! It's awesome!! I will definitely keep up with it more this semester.
If you REALLY like A&W you have to come visit in VT. We have one in Middlebury, and it's really old school; they still roller-skate to your car and everything. I LOVE the root beer served in chilled glasses especially. Yumm...
Polak...ship me some In N Out...also go to Bob's Big Boy on a Friday night, they have a gathering of some of the best classic cars you will ever see, and although I have not seen him there, rumor has it that Jay Leno makes random appearances every now and again...
There is also a very good Mexican place called Don Cucos that is on Riverside down the road from El Torito and Bob's heading toward Burbank.
Alcapulco also has Margarita nights on Mondays..I can't remember the price..but there are so many good places to eat that aren't fast food either!!
PS: Try to get a picture of the Hot Dog on A Stick location (there's one in the Burbank Mall) it's kinda hilarious..
