I just pulled this from the wire on the rank of cities and their support of fast food places. Getting a low grade means they have lots of fast food places since it was a nutrition group that did the rankings. So if the city gets a high grade, you may have a tougher time finding fast food places there. I listed the cities that have hosted or will host Worlds in the past ten or next few years. Could be tough on those looking for fast food at Rochester at 2011 Am Worlds but no problem near Columbus AW2010 or Charlotte 2012 Pro/Am.

Grade The City
F 3. Charlotte, N. C.
D- 19. Columbus, Ohio
D- 22. Houston, Tex.
D 26. Kansas City, Mo.
D+ 33. Des Moines, Iowa
D+ 36. St. Paul, Minn.
C- 49. Chicago, Ill.
C 53. Tulsa, Okla.
B- 67. Milwaukee, Wis.
B+ 88. Cincinnati, Ohio
A- 96. Rochester, N. Y.
A 97. Miami, Fla.

We used to have "Polly's Slow Food" restaurant here. But it went out of business when the economy slowed down...

Obviously they didn't count Cuban, Honduran, Jamican, Haitian, or Puerto Rican places in their survey or Miami would have CRUSHED Charlotte. You can't turn around at ANY corner on ANY street in Miami without seeing some version of fast food. :)

Each of the little burgs, Tiffin, Upper Sandusky and Marion, has a fast food cluster near the highway.

Pro Worlds 2010 will have limited fast food options. Cedar Lake has a breakfast joint, a soft serve place and a pizza store, last I knew. Crown Pointe has similar fare.

I can't see the image, but if it's the frozen ones, I've tried them and they were a poor, poor shadow of the fresh off the grill version.

Nothing is like a fresh made belly bomber with extra onions and extra pickles!

Don't give me that Krystal comeback either, not even close to the same as the ones from the white fish bowls.

Krystal comeback? Must be a southern thing.

We have a Krystal's here in Dallas (Carrollton, right near the PIAS that has the best selection of discs around). Tried it once, not even close to the Whit-E Cas-Tell.
