Agreed. It doesn't really matter, though. Could easily replace Cane's fries with frozen fries, vegetables, or even cardboard; drench every bite with Cane's sauce and it's still delicious.

Had an interesting experience at BK tonight:

Perfect storm leads me to BK with GCDS. I want to try the hot dog!

Order a chicken sandwich and cashier tells me I can get 2 for $5. Thank you, one is $4.79.
3 cheeseburgers @ $1, a JBC for 2.29 and a hot dog for 79 cent.

Total: $15.48?

Tried to GET ME on the JBC MEAL, not happening son. $11 something for 2 long-ass chicken sandwiches, 3 cheeseburgers, a JBC and a hot dog.

Hot dog was solid. 8.5/10

Mustard and relish obv.

How is mcdonalds still basically the only FF chain with an app and deal, etc. I mean to me it's a complete no brainer to throw a few deals out daily and get more people in the door. I have ended up at McDonalds much more since I found the app.

The only JBC I know is from Wendy's, what's this BK imposter you speak of?

Literally taught GCDS about up-charging mofos and not giving in to THE MAN.

It was a junior bacon cheeseburger on the value meal, but 2.29. Name probably wrong.

Liberal onions, yes. Unfortunately I started on the left side and spooged the right side on my pants. Onions were calling me though.

I roll into BK, about 45 minutes from closing. Lobby is closed, parking lot is a ghost town, nobody else in drive thru. I get 3 grilled dogs, and they have me pull around to the front. I don't understand.

The drive-thru has a gizmo that times how long each car sits there. If a car sits there too long, it narcs to some central system that their drive-thru service sucks. It's kind of stupid because it makes them pull you out of the drive-thru even though you're sitting there for a legit reason.

Burger King is the only place that I encounter that.

I've had that happen at McD's and KFC before. KFC was a ghost town and it still took 10 minutes of me sitting in my car to get my food. I eventually parked and walked inside to grab it.

Wendy's app does not offer deals, which I find a bit surprising. I agree that it seems like a complete no brainer to get more traffic and thus more overall profit.

Right now my offers are good until 7/30/17 and then they would re-appear on 7/31.

Had some CFA. Ordered it on the app. It was so upsetting just because I hadn't been in a while and I don't know how or why I end up going anywhere else. Everything was insanely fresh and delicious and quick and easy.

I feel like people ordering loss leaders on an app isn't exactly the future of fast food success.

This is strictly gut here, but I imagine a huge percent of people who order deals on the app aren't bringing along 10 friends who don't care about ff value.

Hash house in Harrahs downtown I would assume is good. The one in Vegas is, but we never go downtown if we can help it.

If you're up for a breakfast buffet the Grand Sierra is pretty good. I tend to pig out and then want to sleep all day, so I don't go very often.

This makes me realize there aren't a lot of great options....sadly.

How does Peg's not make your list? World class breakfast imo.

Let me know - it's popular, but the one time I went I wasn't that impressed - my wife at the time swore it was usually MUCH better, so I may have caught them on the odd off day.
