    I ate at the first ever Carl’s Jr in Japan right after it opened because it’d been 3 weeks since I’d been home and was dying for some home food

    Walk in and it’s themed after LA and SACRAMENTO (home) of all places, and there was a California expat family eating there so we sat next to them and raced about how the food tasted just like home but s little better

    Then the news can say and interviewed the lady and her son

    Sometimes it’s worth visiting those places lol

      Can confirm food in Japan is just better even at the same fast food restaurants.

      McDonald’s is the one restaurant that I will eat at internationally because they have different menu items. It is interesting to see what is popular in that country and the local interpretation of American culture. But even then it’s one and done and only if I absolutely have to eat a quick meal to make a reservation or something

        it’s just funny how america known for its fast food has the worst mcdonalds menu in the world. Even the one special thing they had of having cheap items is gone.

      I moved to London in 2011. When Five Guys opened here in 2013, I think I ate there at least once a week for 2 months.

      Also, what the fuck. It was expensive back then, and it’s just absurdly priced now. Also I don’t eat hamburgers as often which is definitely a good thing…
