The fish meal and nuggets are really the only thing I’d go for at McD anymore. Everything else just sinks like a stone and makes me feel like shit. If I’m hungover and already hate myself I will do a Big Mac and a Sprite.
The only person I ever knew that consistently ordered the Filet-O-Fish was my grandma, so I always associated it as the menu item for old ladies, but maybe that is just a me thing.
Was she Catholic? I’d get a fish meal as a child on Fridays during lent if we weren’t doing pizza. It was love at first sight I do have a horrible sense memory of my grandmom and her sister taking me to a library on a hot summer day, sitting in her super hot black leather seats and eating a filet o fish and reading A Series of Unfortunate Events.
If you’re gonna see the Billie concert, I’d say see it a theater, which gives you about 3 days because it did not do well.
When I worked at Burger King we made two fish patties when lunch started and they were still there by dinner.
I am always baffled that a place like Long John Silver’s continues to exist. There’s no way a fast-fish chain can generate enough revenue to stay in business. That has to be a money laundering scheme.
just got back from is god is and Billie eyelash movie was playing next to us. thankfully it ended like 25 minutes into the movie. anyways go see is god is. it’s good.
haven’t had LJS since college but I loved it in college. it would put me down for at least 12 hours so it would probably kill me now.
was shocked to see a fully-operational KFC/Long John Silvers right down the road from my apartment, with multiple cars in line. i assume most of them are there for KFC, but there's probably at least a few folks in Lincoln that would still eat LJS in 2026
Checker's like 15 years ago did like a fish and chips thing with their seasoned fries and fish nuggets that was so good
Checkers fries are the greatest fries in existence and I wish I had them more readily available to me.
If I'm being totally honest, when I was in high school the lunchroom had these cups of "spicy fries" that I would get regularly and I would probably murder someone to learn where those fries came from to taste that nostalgia again.
I like that Checkers makes their burgers just acceptable enough because they know that the fries are the stars of the show. It's basically the only fry forward fast food chain. So much of the menu is seasoned fry related. You got the fry lovers burger, fry seasoned chicken tenders, fry seasoned mozzie sticks, chicken bites with fries box, like 4 different types of loaded fries, and to top it off their signature dessert: funnel cake fries.
