Why does Ohio have no Jack-In-The-Box? (Columbus, Cleveland: deal, town, downtown)

Carl's Jr. is Hardee's around here. Don't know if they have that Double Western Burger or whatever. All fast food is equally disgusting to me, with the possible exception of Swensons.

We got one here in Boardman last year and its great! You can get anything you want on your burger and their fries area second to none.

Heres their website for those that don't know:
Home Page | Five Guys Burgers and Fries

Yep, I never heard of them until we moved to Columbia, and there are about 5 or so locations here...good to hear they have found their way into NE Ohio. Sometimes I think I could just order the fries and that would more than fill me up!

I like Hardee's, but Swensons is some really tasty stuff! I'm also a fan of their competitor Skyway Drive-In and once in a blue moon, Hamburger Station.

Jack In The Box is one of the only major fast food chains that has yet to stop using hydrogenated oil for their fried foods. They probably have alternatives in development, but to wait this long, they are really dragging their heels - especially considering almost all of the other big chains switched a long time ago.

I don't really care about Jack-In-The-Box, but I'd love for Ohio to get some In-N-Out Burger franchises. Won't happen because they're concentrated in California, Arizona, and Nevada, but I can dream, right?

^Agreed, In N Out Burger may be about the only fast food I would even consider eating (possibly in addition to Swensons).

That's pretty funny. I'm actually kind of sick of In-n-out right now. I live like 3 mins from one.
I'm moving to Ohio in about a year and I don't think I'll miss In-n-out. My favorite is wendy's which I am glad that Ohio has them. Only fastfood that I wish Ohio had more of is Del Taco. Their website only lists one Del Taco in Toledo, but thats quite a distance away from where I am moving to. lol

When I was out in Arizona, I never went to Del Taco. Is it really that good?

Anyhow, Wendy's was founded in Ohio, so they're everywhere here. Same with Arby's. I'm not sure if it's still around, but the original Wendy's is/was somewhere in Columbus.

They closed the original Wendy's in downtown Columbus about 2 years ago (good job Columbus).

I will personally vouch for Del Taco... they add some welcome variety to fast food mexican. They have a large menu with many tasty items.
