NWR: bleah!

I've also eaten at both, but never hamburgers. When I was young it was the chicken sandwiches/nuggets. More recently it's the fries. But I haven't been to either in years.
 
Not peculiar at all. When my daughter was young, I'd take her there occasionally. I'd always get the grilled chicken breast sandwich (not the fried, breaded one). Fortunately, she outgrew fast food fairly quickly. About once a year, we go for an In-n-Out fix. That's the only fast food burger I've ever eaten.

IIRC, Larry, there wasn't even a Mickey D's within the Berkeley city limits until some time in the late '70s (at which point I'd flown the coop). The old guard fought against it tooth and nail as I recall. Then, of course, they get prime real estate at Shattuck and University *sigh*.

I don't recall that battle, but I'm not at all surprised. I never was infected with the Berkeleyer-Than-Thou disease.
 
This is very interesting. As long as we're dishing fast food tales, I should say that I ate not infrequently at the Burger King in Halesite, LI, as a wee one.

Years later, after living in France where they do not exist and also, of course, not cottoning to the idea of fast food overall, I nevertheless was struck by a nostalgic pang when in London upon seeing a Burger King.

Reader, I ate there.

And you know what, it was so hollow. Just like salt and sweet over a cusp of air. Nothing.

No wonder people eat so much to try to find the taste, the real taste, which is absent.

Maybe this is known to all, but the pictures in the advertisements look so appetizing....
