Correction.. Hardees though it owns Carls Jr is no where near the same restaraunt! This common misconception has irritated me since i have been in this state. Next time you are at hardees go ahead and order a burrito.

 

-Oregon the end of the Oregon Trail is in oregon city(not just a computer game from the early 90's) I cant believe how many people i have ran into that have no idea where it is..especially if i tell someone the west coast... you only have three options!
-Home of McMenamins!!! Who doesnt need a haunted hotel with like 9 bars a movie theater and a golf course all in one spot. ps great place to have a wedding especially if your friends are coming from out of town and are alcoholics!
-As previously mentioned most strip clubs per capita than any other place in the US. Not to mention the Akrop... only stip club you can actually go for for the food and enjoy the atmosphere lol

 

I like the strip club part, here on the big island of Hawaii their isn't ANY!

 

yeah we have tons of them. 18 and up is still full nude just no hard alcohol. 21 and up same as before just add hard alcohol... akrop owner owns a cattle ranch or something and gets his own beef from his ranch for his strip club.... at least thats the story i was told. either way still awesome food haha

 

Good food / liquor and good titties, now thats what i am talking about

 

woo hoo! haha fair point fair point. ive never eaten at a Carls Jr, i just know the times ive been out west it always looked like a hardees and ive always just associated the two as the same.

and your location say J-vegas? this jacksonville you're referring too?

 

The hardees near my Alabama town has a "red burrito" too. Im not sure exactly what it is bc i dont like Hardees so i never go there. But they do serve burritos i assume haha.

 

yeah well like most chains they are owned by different companies. it's not business practical for there to be one big comapny that "owns" all the same restaurants and they all serve the exact same food. there are many different reasons, most based on demographics of the area. for example "Bojangles" is a very popular fried chicken chain in my state. there are 3 different bojangle's owners in my state. while yes, all of them sale the same fried chicken and fries and what not, the ones on the eastern part of my state offer a lot of different sides, deserts, etc that the ones in the middle/west.

 

haha i get in this argument like once a month lol. some of the guys i work with like to get me going about it. no offense carls jr to me is way better than hardees... carls jr has a mexican food section called the green burrito and some of them sell monster energy drinks to. and yes i am in jacksonville.

 

hahaha, that's great about your coworkers. yeah im not a big hardees fan either. there burgers are too greasy (and expensive!) for me most days. . . . and hey jacksonville aint the worst town. you got bobby goodson logging and it's the home of Ryan Adams, my favorite singer songwriter.
