Eric,

Have you ever considered that there might be something on the floor that's better for you? Hmmmm?

It's not that far fetched.

Oh, c'mon. The lesson isn't don't eat at Hardee's, it's don't eat at any restaurant in West Virginia. I'm sure that most Hardee's managers would have told the employee to brush the burger off before serving it.

Anyway, it's been a while since I've been in a Hardee's, but they indeed had a very tasty burger. But those burgers were tasty because they were pure sin--which brings us back to the floor thing, actually: what are you worried about the floor for when the burger itself takes six-to-ten years off your life just by itself. Honestly, if the burger got something off the floor that killed ya or even that just made you throw up, it would be saving you the trouble of the coronary bypass before you're fifty. You might call that a "win."

Arby's makes roastburgers now. It's their standard roast beef, but in a burger bun with burgerlike toppings. It's pretty good actually. ;)

Well, there you go. You guys have completely screwed this up. Had things gone properly, Hardee's would have flown me...somewhere. Somewhere, where there's a Hardee's (and a lot of other non-Hardee's stuff too).

So, now nobody's going to fly me anywhere since you've talked about "stuff on the floor" and "the nastiest place on the planet".

So thanks guys.

What? I could just delete your comments? Why does nobody tell me anything?

Nathan, you really don't want to eat at Hardees.

Had a friend who worked there for a week. He walked out when he dropped a burger patty on the floor, and was told to pick it back up and serve it.

Aw damn Nathan, now I want a sackful and it's too ...

Aw damn Nathan, now I want a sackful and it's too late to run out and get some.

Krystal's are an acquired taste, I was introduced to them when I lived just over the Georgia line south of Chattanooga (their headquarters). They hit the spot at 3AM when you were in the middle of a paper delivery route and suddenly realized you were starving.

Now over the years my hamburger tastes evolved and as with NYC, Atlanta has many fine local establishments that serve exceptional burgers, so not so many Krystal's these days. But if I'm on the road it is one of the chains that I know are safe to eat in and not have immediate traveler's regets.

Hardee's however - cringe - one of the nastiest places on the planet. Your digestive system has my sympathy. Ugh. Blech.

But I am jealous you have Roy Rogers, there aren't any in Atlanta any more and I used to love them when I lived in Florida.
