America is the land of many choices. One of the great privileges of this wonderful society is to choose among the many places to dine and fill your stomach. Although this has led to an increase in American obesity, it is still nice to be able to go with your gut and go to the place that is going to satisfy the hunger that rumbles in your tummy. We are blessed as a nation to be able to have such an overabundance of places to go and receive the necessary nutrients that our bodies need. (Maybe not all of those nutrients are necessary, in fact according to national health scholars many places do a disservice to the good of our body).
When I am feeling hungry I always enjoy going to Carl's Jr. to go get a Double Western Bacon Hamburger (I don't like cheese) with some criss-cut fries and a drink. To me, this is the best meal in the entire world. I could never get enough of it. I went on a mission for my church to Massachusetts where they didn't have Carl's Jr. After two years the first thing I had when I got back to California was a nice hot double western with some criss-cut fries. It always makes my stomach smile as it hits the spot. I also enjoy Wendy's. The Jr. Bacon Burger and the Crispy Chicken Nuggets are bomb, and you can't beat a frostee. They are so good. There is another place in my hometown called Bravo Burger. They make some good burgers there, but what most people go there for (I think mostly the high schoolers in the area anyways) is the breakfast burrito. Oh man, they are so tasty. A huge flower tortilla with egg, bacon, and hash brown. You can get other varieties of it, but that is my favorite. They also have a mean breakfast menu as well.
Yea, I know fast food isn't the best, but I always say the worse it is for you, the better it tastes. Maybe nowadays they have healthy food that actually tastes like what it is mimicking, but every healthy thing I've eaten has tasted like cardboard. Sorry to all you health nuts out there, but I don't agree with that healthy lifestyle stuff. It's not how I roll. I digress. Now that I have covered the topic of fast food, it's time to move on to the actual dine-in restaurants. I actually have many favorites, but I'd say at the top of my list is Applebees. The one thing that I really liked there was the teriyaki steak with coconut shrimp. Mmm mmm good. Makes me salivate every time I think of it. They have some other good stuff one the menu, but I like to stick with the steak and shrimp. I am also an Old Spaghetti Factory fan. Can't ever get enough of the Italian pasta. One of the places that I enjoy the most to eat at though is Denny's. Give me a Grand Slam and I am a happy camper. I know it isn't classy, but hey, I don't care. I like to eat good food.
So now you know about a few places that have some good food to eat. Now maybe you will actually go out and experience the wonderful world of food. I know there are many other places that are spectacular, but I've given a list of some decent choices (If health isn't an issue for you). I encourage people to go out and put their money in to the economic stream so that these 50 great states and flourish. And hey, maybe that money will go to someone going to college and opening up a new food chain that makes some delicious meals. I'd be ever grateful for that. So go on America, eat up (but don't overeat, it isn't good for your health).
