And, today, we are going to be talking about “Famous American Fast-food Restaurants.”

Let's discuss some things that maybe people outside the US haven't heard of before, maybe

I'm going to start with one, probably the most obvious one today.

I chose “Taco Bell” as my first one because I have a strong affinity, I have a strong

connection to Taco Bell because when I was a high school student, it was like the cheapest

thing you could get in terms of fast-food restaurants.

It was like three tacos for a dollar or something like that, something extremely cheap.

Because the idea of the food there--it's just a taco shell with like some questionable meat

like substance and a sprinkle of questionable cheese.

Davey: Yeah, it used to be their slogan, I think.

Alisha: “Everything Is questionable at Taco Bell.

Davey: Yeah, they went first run for the border, right?

Run for the border of your digestive system.

Alisha: So, anyway, I chose Taco Bell because it was everything high school, me and my high

It was cheap and it was cheesy and it was meaty and you could eat a bunch of them and

there was spicy sauce for the people who decided to be stupid and just try to like, I don't

know, wanted to make it as spicy as possible.

Davey: And your body can still take all those calories then.

And now, if I eat--if I even look at a Gordita Supreme, I gain 15 pounds.

Alisha: So, Taco Bell, I chose Taco Bell for today because there's a special place in my

heart for the special food you can find at Taco Bell.

Davey: All of mine are in the same sort of category.

Davey: I kind of--I don't really like fast food and I've never really eaten a lot of

it but there are a few fast food places that I really have a soft spot for.

Davey: And so, my first one is one of those and it's “Sonic.”

It's pretty limited to the south, to the southern states.

And then, I think, maybe a few other states, maybe there's one in Arizona or somewhere,

But, where I grew up, I grew up in a Sonic state, we had Sonic.

It's a drive-in, it's an old-style drive-in or you drive up and park your car and reach

out and push the button and then give your order and they'll come out and bring you your

Some of them they would even come out on roller-skates like the old school 50's era kind of diners

but most of them they just come out of sneakers.

But, you go and get like a milkshake and a burger and when I go home, when I when I go

to my hometown and visit my family, I'll oftentimes pop into Sonic and get a hamburger because

Alisha: I think a lot of the stuff we're going to talk about today has like a strong nostalgia

Alisha: I mean, drive-ins were rare 20 years ago.

Alisha: So, I wonder, how many Sonic's have converted to just being a plain old fast-food.

I mean most of the Sonics in my hometown there's I can think of four or five or six and I think

Oh, but I will say one this really drove me nuts.

When I moved away from my hometown and I was 18, I moved across the country, I was at Washington

state and I don't think there's any Sonics in Washington State but they would have TV

commercials and it drove me nuts because we see the commercials and I wanted to go to

It's been a long time since I've had a Sonic burger.

A&W, depending on the location you went to, it was some of them were drive-thru or rather,
