    There was a McDonalds very close to the freeway East of Cleveland on the Erie Interstate.

    Pulled over the ramp towards it and was greeted by about oh... 110 yards of no parking signs posted 6 feet apart. (Now this is interesting.) and a ditch running with them too.

    Put the interlock on being empty eased into the ditch and docked with the last no parking sign in that line. Deliberately leaned on it too with the trailer. Whoops all fall down. Too sorry.

    Walked in got the food (And AM NOT WELCOME... whoo if eyes can kill...) Got out of there with a little off road K's across that pavement...

    A few days later I see 15 more no parking signs past the one that is leaning courtesy of me. I think due to the ditch getting bigger there that will be the end of that.

    I like the tenders too but I like the “gravy” to dip in. I don’t care much for the various “sauces” they offer. Most places want to charge an extra dollar for the gravy side, but not all

    I did drive on a city block once for a Little Ceasers $5 pepperoni in Schenectady, N.Y. area once. Not sure what little town it was. But that was one of the best Ceasers I've ever had. I think I bought 2 of them. Hard luck finding Ceasers on road lately. It is just very affordable and I just Friggin love those.

    I love the Cajun gravy on mashed taters, and the beans and rice. Don't need anything else. But I'm not paying what they charge for it.

    Seems I can remember a time, when you ordered tenders at Popeyes, you got gravy by default. Not sure when they changed from gravy to sauce packets. I’ve gone 2+ years avoiding Popeyes. Now I might eat there twice a year. I just can’t regularly condone their prices

    Fresh out of oven is OMG good. The ground corn on the bottom is the secret to filling you up. But I can still wolf a whole pizza, with ranch for dipping. If your ever in Michigan or maybe the Midwest you can ask for zesty packs of seasoning. It's a blend of stuff.
     
    2old Thanks this.
