Well, where will you find anything even a little above mild, and still have the convenience of a drive-through window? ;-))) At least Wendy's was on the right track with the Spicy (though not for us, of course) Chicken sandwich. It seems popular enough to have hung around this long; you'd think others would take the hint and try something similar... and not just by name, as they have. Re: Culver's. Ours is a small-ish, simple town, where the automatons are... well... less so. Kinda' cute, perky, high school girls mostly. And their fudge is a little better than most other places around here. In fact, the food (fudge aside) is about the worst thing about the place. Sounds like the people are the main drawback to your location. Sounds like it's time to fire off the lot and re-staff. -- Erich C-H # 2099 Silver Glen American Shorthairs www.worzellaphoto.com/pets/index.htm
