Jimmy John's promo code 'DIMEBAG' for a specialty sammich*, chips, pickle and a brownie for $10. This week only.

* "Smoked ham, jalapeño ranch, pickles, crispy jalapeños and XTRA oregano-basil"

Nice to see JJ honoring Dimebag Darrell on the 20th year anniversary of his passing. RIP

Dang, 20 years already? RIP indeed.

But I think (ldo?) JJ are targeting stoners. Big week for those that celebrate.

Qdoba near my house closed for remodeling. Not that I go there much, but I'm having trouble imagining how remodeling makes Qdoba a better experience.

That said, I bet I'll pop in afterward to see.

this has been happening with the taco bells here recently. I guess they want to keep them "modern" looking. other than that I have no idea - they don't seem any better or worse post remodel.

They're being prepped for less dine-in seating, less employees, and more apping.

They want you in your car, leaving, and don't really care about the inferior product being given to you by the overworked skeleton crew.

A couple weeks ago, my Burger King got remodeled. It looks great except they took away over half the seating. idk. There's lots of elbow room now.

Also, after the California fast food wage hike and corresponding price hike the Whopper Wednesday $3 Whopper deal is starting to look like an amazing deal!

Culvers has new bacon. It's thicccc.

I was considering a Wendy's lunch (singles 2/$8 in app) but noticed that the nearby Culvers was offering single bacon deluxes for $3.50. Cheaper and with bacon too? Sign me up!

It definitely makes for a more bacon-forward experience, but I liked it. A+, would eat again.

My BK was remodeled in 3 days. Scary fast when you see all the work completed.

Floors, walls, lighting, tables

But then again, awhile back my local TacoBell was torn down and rebuilt on a different part of the lot in less than a week. I have no idea how they got all the permits and inspections done that fast.

Yes, I watched a McDonald's get torn down to the slab and rebuilt in a few weeks. It looked pretty much the same as the old one. I don't know why they did it unless there was some structural reason, termites, etc.

As usual, McMuffin is correct. I did eat it again. I downloaded the Culvers app to see if it was of any value and I noticed that the menu price for the bacon single was $3.50, so I could feast again.

Seriously, this bacon is a game changer.
