I live in NYC and all they have are Taco Bell expresses. I want a real Taco Bell without the Dunkin Doughnuts or KFC inside it also.

I'd like to try an In - an -Out burger (seems like alot of the celebs in LA eat these)

You have not lived until you've had in-n-out!

I'm so lucky to have family in california, so I can stop at in-n-out every time I visit. We were just there, so I'm sad that I have to wait until April to go back.

They also have branches in las vegas and arizona.

Greatest Double-Double(double meat/double cheese) of all time! They also let you order things off the menu like a burger wrapped in lettuce no bun, or grilled onions rather than raw. LOVE IT! I just had one on Sunday! I can't wait until the last week of school when the 8th graders have their picnic and the In and Out burger truck comes!

AMEN!! Everytime I see those, I feel so cheated. Can't a restaurant (okay fast food place) decide what it wants to be?

Denny's
Cracker Barrel
Jack in the Box
Panera Bread

We have all of these here in the midwest...and Steak and Shake...and DQ...Yummy!!!

We have Panera here but it is called St. Louis Bread Co. Same company, different name. I think they are based here out of St Louis.

THe one in NJ is 15 miles over the GW Bridge. It's in a really cute little town and the atmosphere is fantastic! I highly recommend them. The owner is always there and it so nice.
