I like skinnier fries. Thick fries are more like slices of baked potato and they annoy me.
I don't like coated fries though

I went to In-N-Out Burger years ago, when visiting my sister. I was doing Atkins at the time. I tried asking for a burger with lettuce wrap instead of a bun. The server looked at me like I was crazy. I got it when I asked for "protein style" (friends had told me the secret code). That really annoyed me, but the burger was good.My hero Kenji really likes In N Out too....this is a fun read for anyone interested.

Culver's was a favorite when I was traveling more. I haven't eaten at one for quite a long time. Despite the "Butter Burger" being their signature item, I was more a fan of the dinners. The Cod and Chopped Steak dinners were a couple that I liked. The deep-fried cheese curds are pretty good, too.Culvers are all over up north here along the river. There's even one in my little town. I've never tried one, they do sound good.
"West coast" and "Florida" caught my interest, since we drive down there every November. Figured it might be a good place to stop. Then I saw that you posted this later:Went over to west coast of Florida yesterday to visit DD and GDs. We had lunch at Culver's...
and I though "That's why Culver's sounds familiar! I think we stopped at one once..." I checked the online map and found out that there is a location in Independence, MO. When we were driving Goober back to OH after he had given up on living out west, we took a more northern route from San Bernardino, CA, heading first to Las Vegas, into UT to go to Bryce's Canyon, then continuing east on I-70, getting off to take the state highways every once in a while. We got the concretes and they were outstanding! If we don't catch one on the way TO FL, we can scoot over to the one in Fort Myers since we stay on FMBeach. I'm so glad you mentioned them, med.DD and GDs got concrete mixers...
If I drive 12 miles in any direction from my house, I end up at least two towns away. And if I'm heading south, I'm already 11 miles deep into the next state!...We haven't gone there since they're on the "other side" of town. Like a whole 12 miles away

Dinky little northeastern state!If I drive 12 miles in any direction from my house, I end up at least two towns away. And if I'm heading south, I'm already 11 miles deep into the next state!
Our last house in way-suburban Cleveland had that kind of convenience, but we lived in a quiet residential neighborhood. When we moved here, way out in nowhere is what we could afford based on the sale price of the larger, more-options home we sold. Much as I would have loved to live closer to civilization, I really preferred keeping the mortgage the same. We knew housing would be more expensive here, but sheesh.Yikes! I'm a block away from most everything but a big supermarket. That's 5 min drive...
