Right, INO is a SW chain based in CA, and Culver's is a Midwestern chain based in WI. I was responding directly to the OP:
The basis of this thread is that the best chains are in the South; I disagree. I think almost all chains are terrible, and because I travel a lot I unfortunately am very familiar with chains across the country.
The only ones I actually enjoy on occasion are Western (In N Out) and Midwestern (Culver's), so I am casting my "no" regarding the OP. One person is unable to stay on topic or really understand what's going on; another, the original poster, has a bizarre "anti-hipster" agenda vs people who in all likelihood don't even come close to qualifying as "hipsters," they just like good food and dislike garbage.
Well, actually what you said was " My only personal exceptions are based in California (In N Out) and Wisconsin (Culver's), neither of which are in the South."
Both of which are in the south.
Discussions wander and expand by the way - it's their nature. Some of my responses address fallacies other posters state as fact - like your statement above.
No one said everyone was like that. You need to read a bit more carefully.
I read exactly what you said: "I honestly believe that they allow their minds to get tricked into not liking it just because of the perception of it."
Maybe you didn't literally say "everyone" who dislikes fast food is like that, but you certainly implied that it is the major reason for the majority, even though you have no evidence that this is true for even 10%, 20%, 30%, whatever.
I also saw time and time again whenever anybody in this thread said they don't like fast food, you call them a "hipster" as if it is impossible that their preference couldn't be what they actually think and not just an attempt be cooler than others.

I actually make no reference for "they", which was improper on my part, but also means no implication. Just my personal suspicion. Have a wonderful day.
Only TX for In N Out. And I wonder, all of TX or just western TX? It's a Southwestern chain.
Lol, Dallas and Austin are nowhere near West Texas. And we have Culvers here too. As a matter of fact, I'm about 10 minutes away from a Culvers and two minutes away from an In N Out.

And there are Culvers in many other parts of the South as well.
Honestly, all people have to do is go to the restaurants' website and look up the locations. It's not all that difficult NOT to make erroneous claims.

The OP was contending that the chains based and primarily located in the South were superior to elsewhere; my contention is that most chains are terrible, but the two best fast food spots are based and primarily located in 1) California/SW and 2) Wisconsin/Midwest, thereby disagreeing with the OP.
I'm not sure why it's so hard for you to remain on-topic or to understand something I've literally repeated over-and-over throughout the thread.

You're not the only one posting here nor setting the exact topic. I don't think she's any more off topic than you are, not everyone is responding to your points but other ones made here.

I'll take Chick Fil A and Whataburger over Culvers and In N Out. Though I must say the custard at a Culvers is the best. I might go there for lunch today.

What's a Culver's? Never seen Chick Fil A, either.
Anyhow, while I agree people should check restaurant's website before making a claim, the fact there is suggests something. For example, there's a Cracker Barrell 13 miles from me but it's in a spot I don't pass by frequently. I wouldn't have known they were here unless I checked. If they were more common in the area I would have known. Ditto with Olive Garden, there a few in the region and downstate NY but not many. Think I've been at one in a mall once, but otherwise wouldn't have been aware of them much without checking.

You stated misinformation - I corrected you.
Threads meander, develop, expand, etc on topics. And guess what - you're not in charge here.
We're discussing the differences between chain restaurants in different regions of the US, as well as peoples' eating habits, likes and dislikes, etc regarding chain restaurants and other options. I don't know why it's so hard for you to keep up, but at least you're entertaining.
