I like Arby's but I can count on waking up in the middle of the night with a gut ache after eating there. Fast food laxative.
Fuddruckers was the best one in Orem, until it closed about 1.5 years ago. :-(
Troutbum introduced me to that stuff at one of Gameface's poker nights and I became addicted for several months.
It's been a long road to recovery and your selfish posting actions may have just triggered a re-lapse.
Does Arby's even actually serve meat? I always thought it was a meat-flavored processed food product. The (possibly) red meat equivalent of american cheese, if you will, or fake krab.
Stopped eating at Arby's several years ago when I found that it set off my IBS like nothing else. Maybe I used too much horsey sauce, who knows, but talk about explosive. Wow. I once made my wife come running to see what had happened, and it had painted the entire bowl and my *** brown. It was bad.
They have chicken too *******
One of the best I've ever had is at a place called Copper Creek. Their garlic burger with blue cheese crumbles is awesome. And they still cook your meat to your specifications. Of course nobody here has ever eaten at Copper Creek because it would mean lowering yourself to travel to the west side of the Salt Lake valley.
Thorn said she wasn't worried when a McDonald's opened recently across the street from her hamburger outlet. The competition from the super chain hasn't hurt Brand X at all, she said.
"We have been busier since they've been here," she said. "The kid's meals have even increased."
Thorn lives next to her business, making the commute to work short. "I've beat a path in that asphalt," she said, pointing at the small parking lot between Brand X and her home. She and her husband Bryce Thorn began Brand X with a blue truck they cooked burgers in. Bryce Thorn died 11 years ago; Deanna Thorn has been running the business since then.
"He said, 'We're going to do this, and we're going to be Brand X,' " Thorn said. " He said, 'We'll compete with anybody.' "
Bryce Thorn cleared the land, they parked the truck and began selling hamburgers. It cost the Thorns $1,300 to go into business, and they sold $35 worth of hamburgers the first day. The current building was opened in January of 1985.
"We've never from the day we opened been without customers," Thorn said.
The key to Brand X's success lies in two secret recipes for seasoning salt developed by Bryce Thorn. The salts are now prepared personally by Deanna Thorn in her kitchen; she is the only person who knows the recipes.
One seasoning salt is used on the meat, while the other is sprinkled on Brand X's fries and tater babies.
No one but Franklin and I remember Brand X Hamburgers in Springville?
It was one the staples of my childhood. Art City drive in movies with Brand X burgers. You ever tried contacting the people directly about the ingredients? I bet you could weasel it out of them. If they didn't care enough to keep the joint alive, how protective could they be?
I think I may try and do that. Any tips? I've never tried to get someone's secret recipe before.
