I really don't do fast food much....just in an emergency. If I have a burger, it'll be an "In & Out" or one I grill, (which are the best to me....because I make them EXACTLY how I like 'em!). My wife and I do "Take Out" every Friday, (so she doesn't have to cook). Last Friday we did Cousin's Lobster Truck food because they just happened to be in town that day. The week before we had Greek Food from The Great Greek Mediterranean Grill..... the week before Isola Osteria Sicilian Italian Restaurant pizza. We stay away from "Fast Food" as much as possible. In N Out is killer. Double double fries and a chocolate shake is what I always ordered. I do not like their fries even though they cut them in front of you. Not sure if it’s the oil or what. Of corse out here in SC we don’t have it. And out here our Carl’s Jr. is called Hardee’s. Edited May 13 by Sgt. Pepper 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceptorman Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 I had In N Out for the first time a few months ago, it was very good. That's the cleanest fast food joint I've ever seen, and the employees were super nice, clean, and friendly. Chic Fil A is pretty decent. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Herds roam wild on the huge Private part of the Island.. There is a Bison Burger joint on the Boardwalk in Catalina.. We used to ge there & Have some Bison Burgers. They were good… They brought them there originally to make a film in 1925 called The Vanishing American. My great uncle (who died in a kaiten suicide torpedo attack on the USS Underhill on 24 July 1945, shortly before the end of the war) had a small part in that film. As far as fast food burgers, nothing beats In-N-Out. That's what a (fast-food) hamburger's all about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was young and skinny, I often ordered 4x4s, animal style. The second In-N-Out location to open was on Grand Avenue in Covina, not too far from where I grew up, so I've been eating their burgers all my life.

My dad's younger brother was on the USS Wasp when it was sunk by a Japanese torpedo during the battle of Guadalcanal on September 15, 1942. He survived that, and was reassigned to another aircraft carrier....I think The Hornet, but not sure. Edited May 13 by DanvillRob 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Born in Covina, grew up in Covina and San Dimas, and later lived all over the place in SoCA–Fullerton, Whittier, La Mirada, Camp Pendleton, San Clemente, Camarillo, Lake Arrowhead, etc. Our family had a vacation house that we built on the north shore of Big Bear. My grandmother owned it from the mid-60s until the early 2000s. Yes, I still live here. I'm right on the north (high desert) side of the San Bernardino mountains, in the foothills.

That's a great place! My best friend in the world lived in Big Bear. He was the guy I started my first band with....he was a musician playing local bars there back in the 80's. I went to visit him there maybe 1988 or so. Edited May 14 by DanvillRob 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Chic-Fil-A.... they make a chicken breast sandwich taste fantastic. I rarely go there....in Walnut Creek... so too far for 'fast food' and there's one in Vacaville that we sometimes stop at when traveling to Reno or Tahoe.

Animal style = they cook the burger patties in mustard, use caramelized onions, and then go overboard on the toppings, including the house spread (which is basically thousand island). Maybe it's the cooked mustard that you don't like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the early Taco Bells was right next to the In-N-Out on Grand Avenue. I used to eat there a lot, too, but once they discontinued their green sauce, I quit going there. Del Taco's much better, anyway IMO. Did you go to Bonita HS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I grew up in La Puente and went to Workman High School. We moved to La Verne three years ago, but I'm familiar with Covina..... I lived at the Fret House so I can watch them work on guitars and we used to hang out at Timbers during the 80's. I believe the In-N-out you speak of is close to Cienega AVE??? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to live on Rowland Ave. not too far down the street from the Fret House, which at the time was also on Rowland. A few years after that, they moved it to the current location over on Citrus. I purchased my first MESA/Boogie (a Son of Boogie) from them circa 1982 or so. It was a great shop, but I haven't been in there in years. Quote I believe the In-N-out you speak of is close to Cienega AVE??? It used to be on Arrow Highway, just west of Grand, on the north side of the street. Last time I checked, the building is still there, but the actual In-N-Out was moved many years ago to the supermarket shopping center on Grand Ave. itself, just south of Arrow Highway. I used to live right off of Cienega in San Dimas, just east of Valley Center. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kidblast Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 (edited) so.. thread starts out as talkin about personal dynamics during discussions and for lack of a better word, debates. followed by a page and a half of Fastfood posts. And now as we get to the end of page 2, we're talking about Mesa Boogie amps 😆 at this point, I'm waiting for someone to yell "SQUIRRELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL! " Well played Forum, well played...

duane v Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 If you think about it all ties into being in a band. After rehearsal ..... fast food. After gigs..... fast food. After fast food.... liquor store. All made possible with amps. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
