I think that Hardee's and Carl's Jr. are under the same ownership, as are Rally's and Checkers, whereas White Castle and Krystal are separate companies operating (largely or completely?) in different regions. I don't think Raising Cane's and Zaxby's are affiliated with each other, and it looks like their regions actually overlap a lot, or more accurately, it looks like Raising Cane's restaurants are all over, while Zaxby's is still pretty much a regional thing.
I've never had Zaxby's, but I like Raising Cane's a lot (although, not as much as my husband, who could eat there five times a week). The chicken is good, but I'm an especially big fan of their toast.
Also, there used to be a place in Knoxville called Sawyers that I know for a fact was a direct ripoff of Zaxby's, as in, the owner ate at a Zaxby's and said, "I can do that" and opened Sawyers. But I think both locations of that place are closed now, anyway, so there's not really any point to this part of this post.
knoxville had a new chicken place every other week. When I first started school though, it was only sawyers (right there on 17th/white). I actually lived basically right behind it. then they opened the zaxby's about 2 years later, and a place called guthries further down the strip, and then sawyers closed. all 3 places were exactly the same, though i had sawyers long before I heard of zaxby's so I never knew it was a rip off. now out here raising cane's are all over, and I haven't had it but I've seen the menu, and it looks the same. it's just chicken fingers and "special sauce" and some texas toast.
There was another locally owned one too called Wishbones that was pretty much opened as a great big Fuck You to Sawyers. Not sure if any of those are still open either. I know last time I was there, I drove past one of them that had closed down.
Can't find the "YAY" thread so I'm just posting it here.
Looks like there's a good chance my work will require me to travel to Switzerland for 3-6mo, possibly longer. All lodging/meals paid for. Yayyyyyyy. Now to get my passport.
Weren't you supposed to move to India at one point?
I seen a Zaxby's commercial on TV during the basketball game. The nearest one is 10 hours away in Virginia.
Want me to bring you some next time I am up there? Which might be next month.
Nah.
I just find it odd I'm seeing commercials for stuff that isn't anywhere close to here. I understand if the place is in most of the country and here's one of the few places its not, such as us here in New England seeing Sonic commercials years before they finally came to CT/MA. But Zaxby's is only in maybe a quarter of the country. Seems odd to do national tv ads with such a small footprint.
I'm hoping to go south later this year, but more likely next year.
Can CPK fry chicken? Josh does fried chicken strips that I would take over Cane's any day (except for the part where it takes a lot longer and makes a mess of the kitchen).
I'm sure he can! We have a small deep fryer we've had for over a year and haven't taken out of the box yet. Maybe it's time.
Also the part about the messy kitchen sounds familiar, I suppose this is just what happens when people cook with gusto But the end result is 100% worth the extra cleaning.
I can confirm this. If it doesn't look like a hurricane went through the kitchen, you're doing it wrong.
Twice this week at work I've accidentally pulled my computer headphones out of the aux port. Both times I have been listening to Entropy by Grimes VERY loudly.

Do you remember the Sonic commercials that played here for YEARS before they built one?!? They played for at least 5-6 years before opening one up less than 4 hours away.
Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.

I tried Zaxby's while I was in SC and I wasn't blown away. It tastes exactly like Raising Cane's, if anyone knows what that is. Even the "Zaxby's sauce" was identical to "Cane's sauce." I don't dislike either place, i just feel that both were overhyped to me before I tried them. I suspect it's like a Hardee's- Carl's Jr. / White Castle- Krystal's / Rally's-Checkers thing....
I don't know what Zaxby's is, but Raising Cane's is from here. They are pretty damn tasty.

I'm not even sorry.
This is something you should never be sorry for.
Unlike the time in class a couple years ago back in college when I opened my laptop, and out comes Taylor Swift crooning "All Too Well" or some shit. That wasn't my *best* moment
Considering you've found the need to respond to my threads as if you are threatened by me I offer you some peace my confused counterpart. May you find peace in your restless soul.

THey ended up sending a different person from our team. Thank god.
We got diverted to North Carolina for reasons. Now we're trapped on the plane at a gate.
And my flight from BWI to ALB is cancelled. So that's gonna super fun.
this is the kind of luck I always encounter when flying. hopefully your plane at least has functioning bathrooms
best of luck with the return! it's probably gonna suck, so get some airport booze if you can.
I'm about to find a bar and watch the tournament somewhere. I'm completely stranded at BWI. I have to try to make standby on the 8pm & 10pm flights or just wait until tomorrow. They didn't even say they were sorry for the inconvenience or anything.

Finally getting my computer back today. Fingers crossed that it's not terrible now and works just as good (or better) than it was. Gotta do lots of program reinstalls over the weekend.
The apartment upstairs is for sale, and today is the open inspection. Because I'm just that evil, I'm about to go up and tell any people who rub me the wrong way about our terrible rat infestation. They only come out at night, but when they do...
After going out last night and getting absolutely wasted, I get to spend the weekend with the biggest pros in the industry and my oldest friends because everyone is in town for the best skateboard contest in the world. Plus, I'll get to see agnostic front tonight for free and the Black Lips for free tomororrow! Just saying it's gonna be a good weekend! Hope everyone has a great weekend like me!!
truly great when you got a good buzz, watching out your front window as the sky turns purple with the setting sun, listening to beck, and everything for a moment is just sublime. then your daughter yells for you to come wipe her ass cuz she just took a shiz.
Southwest really let me down today. But this last guy at the desk is my hero.
Call the customer service hotline to rave about the desk guy. People like that need to be singled out for positive attention. They always get complaints and would love to hear about a good experience. Maybe next time there will be more employees like the one who came through for you.
