they are probably just baffled you are ordering a coke with no ice for breakfast. you from europe?
Chick-fil-a has the drive thru pre-order down pat. They are the best at it. Surprised no one has come close to them in their efficiency.
One note is that in 1995 golden correl cost ~$30 for a family of 4, today it is ~$64. That is really all just inflation. So those cheap places cant exist at what most consider a cheap family friendly price point.
I can get a burger meal at Chili's for $14, Or $6 in 1995 dollars. My memory might be hazy but that seems about right for 1995.
I forgot to add, Anita's is a staple. Breakfast burritos all day long!
That's basically a triangle around my house. The community plaza is a lot further away and not on my way to anywhere I go

The one at
46920 Community Plaza, Sterling, VA 20164 does a pretty good job. Owner is really active in the restaraunt.
Does a much better job than Lowes, Wegmans and Loudoun Station locations.
I think the more turnover in rosters we see, the greater the importance of coaching. One of the things I've found interesting in the off season player interviews (247) is how Siefkes is handing all of his guys personalized film for their position. Perhaps everyone does this and this is just the first I've heard of it. But it will be interesting to see how it pans out. The light bulb needs to turn on pretty quick for these guys
If I told anyone on this board in 2005 that we are... ...recruiting in the 50's
Everyone would be pumped and think that we are scouting better than anyone else like Nebraska in the 70s lol
But yeah I get your point
I think I was pretty high on the team going into 2020 pre covid. Hooker, blackshear, the OL, Foster's handpicked successor... lolololololol
Well going to hardees is your first issue

There were no McDs, and the Chef wasn't happening then either. Pizza was a foreign food, none of those around, and nobody ever heard of a taco or burrito. Hot dogs, burgers, bbq sandwiches and maybe mom would splurge for a fried shrimp basket with fries and tartar sauce in a foil package. Tiny frozen shrimp, but mom loved it. We'd sit there and eat in the car, then maybe dad would get us an ice cream cone. High times in Great Bridge, I tell ya.
Oh, and my first job in my life was at Burger Chef in Norfolk. I didn't last all that long, but man, I ate a ton of big burgers and we used to break a couple of apple pies on purpose so we couldn't sell them. Mmmmm mmmmm.
I must admit, the large hamburgers were delicious to a teen ager and better than most chain burgers today.
Ah man, I can appreciate a good Mongolian grill. There's one on Capital that looks like it opened recently that I want to try too. I think it's called Gobi.
Thanks for the recommendations!

# | OT:Whatever Happened to the Family Restaurants We Grew Up With? To counter your last point, I think a main reason they still are the way they are is because they DIDNT go public.
Can confirm
closed his eyes forever
yes, I do
The best managers are the ones that worked their way up. I remember that McDonalds required franchise owners to operate McD's as a manager before they could buy a franchise (at least in the late 80's).
They also test employees on each role even managers and regional employees have to know roles within the restaurant.
To be fair I was also completing my degree at the same time...
If I told anyone on this board in 2005 that we are bungling games in Lane against Duke, losing to ODU, getting embarrassed and laughed at by pitt, recruiting in the 50's etc you would be laughed off here. Fu was so bad, those things happened and he still wasn't fired.
Honestly, you're not wrong. But I always go for the burrito, because their jalapeno salsa is great.
But then you have to know about (and what's on) the secret menu....
I also distinctly remember at one point during that 2019 Duke game broadcast after we were getting crushed, we finally put Hooker in who clearly looked more athletic and capable, and it cut to a shot of Mike Vick and Coach Beamer shaking their heads talking about what they were seeing on the field and trying to cover their mouths (likely knew the camera was on them.) I knew at that point Fu was in way over his head.
Semi off-topic but this seems to have been the quietest off-season in a while. That or I just don't care as much anymore. Will still watch and cheer but ya know....
