My favorite part is Jack's face changing.

The sandwich looks nothing like a cheesesteak


P.S. I think they are building a third location at 101st & memorial

I guess some things have to go away for a while to make a big come back.
I remember some of the old Jack in the Crack(as we called them)locations
turning into Hardee's and then Carl's Jr.
So full circle would mean a return of Dairy Queen(stands not mall)
A&W, Der Weinerschnitzel, Arthur Treacher's, Molly Murphy's, Ken's Pizza,
Shotgun Sam's and many other gone but not forgotten places.

A&W still exists (sort of) if you can handle it co-existing with LJS.

I remember growing up out North and walking to the big A shaped building, I think it was on Pine. Big Frosty mugs of A&W root beer.

A&W is now at Long John Silvers
Ken's Pizza is now at Mazzios

But why, oh why do they force you to call or come in to order Ken's Pizza?  I know it sounds a little like nitpicking, but if your order Mazzio's online, you get a discount.  Ah...that's it!

There do exist standalone A&Ws elsewhere in the country. There's one in Sallisaw, IIRC.

Last time I went to white castle I hadn't eaten in almost 24 hours, airline lost my luggage, and the guy on the drivethrough said "we have a special on 10 sliders and 4 fries" and I said "SOLD!"

Actually that wasn't the last. The last was 5 years ago... St Louis isn't THAT far of a drive.

Several of us have inquired in the past; their response was 'they have no interest in expanding to Oklahoma'.  Way to lure potential customers.

I agree with the need for White Castle.

But we do need Dairy Queen. Okmulgee's DQ, and quite a few around Oklahoma, are some weird locations, where they serve DQ ice cream products but not DQ food. They serve food that's not Dairy Queen food. There's another location or two like that en route to Dallas.

The nearest places to get a DQ burger: Grove, OK and Independence, KS.

I would also accept Krystal in lieu of White Castle. They're basically the same.

Speaking of fast food TV ads, I just saw this one for the first time the other day. Way better than the current (dated) Braums ads.

My favorites were the QT commercials with Ben "Cooter" Jones and Lamar.

I have looked and can't find any of them on line.

Wasn' that Der Weinerschnitzel? I remember going those those on a A frame building when I lived in California. The drive thru was in in (through) the middle of the building.

Ah Jack in the Crack lol. Last time I went to one in California I ordered a burger, fries and a drink. Got around to the window to pay and the guy asked how hungry I was. They were getting ready to close and instead of throwing the food out the had prepared they gave it to me for nothing. Ended up with like 5 burgers, and a ton of fries and only paid for what I ordered.

They had the fountain drink cups for years after the campaign ended.  A friend of mine who moved from Denver had to ask "who the hell is Lamar?".

You reminded me of the one I went to as a kid in Hobbs, so I had to go onto google earth to see if it was still there, and sure enough.

The three that I remember were on Sheridan across from Service Merchandise, 21st just east of Harvard, (I think that one became Biscut Time or Biscuts Plus) and 41st near Hudson.
There are two of these in Tucson.
