Jeez!  I wonder when it will work its way down here?  We do have the 'Crappy Salad' though.

Oh, man, I'll eat that ... and curry.

I've never been to Taco Bell, but I have a feeling they're better than making taco's out of an Old El Passo Taco kit

I'm thinking about going to Taco Bell right now. Maybe KFC (it's closer to my house). I'm tired of burger joints though.

I live in a small Kansas town, we don't have many other choices. Tongue Taco Bueno is good when I can get it. Shocked

I went through high school in a small Kansas town (Derby) and we mostly ate at Sonic, Taco Bell or Pizza Hut (back when it took a half-hour to cook one of their pizzas).  Went back there recently and all three of the original stores are gone.

Today I prefer Red Robin.


I'm thirty miles away from there. Shocked Winfield, which has even less choices than Derby. Derby does have Casa Martinez, one of my favorite Mexican restaurants though. You ever eat there?

Yeah not only have I eaten there, I went to school with some of the Martinez kids, was on the wrestling team with one of them.  Good food, pretty authentic.  If I remember right that place was a sporting goods store back when I was living there.  I bought my high school letter jacket there.  

The Mendoza's used to have a restaurant next to the police station but it closed a few years ago.  I think there's a another Taco Bell there now.


I've been to Winfield several times and you're right - not many options for good food there.



That's really cool man, very nice people who own that restaurant indeed. No idea you had lived in Derby, that's really awesome. LOL

I like Papa Gino's the best. It's kind of regional.

Then Subway,

I like Wendy's too

It's hard with my diet. Anything and everythings at least 600 calories.

When I order a pizza I usually end up consuming at least 1000 calories. I can't help it.

A sub at Subway is 900 Calories

At wendy's a Ultimate Chicken Grill is 340-something, plus fries, is something near 600.
