Fast Food: Search & Destroy

had no idea Hot 'n Now still existed. Granted, it's just one location, but I ate at my local one at a lot in the early 90s.

love thinking of old obscure fast food joints.

also, one of my favorite "wtf" fast food stories: https://www.cracked.com/article_28014_the-crazy-story-fake-burger-king-in-pittsburgh.html

I miss Long John Silver.

My sister worked at one many years ago and used to smuggle out those crispy bits of crust for me, the ones that accumulated at the bottom of the case. It was actually quite a complicated operation .

Big deal, that stuff was such a hot commodity that theft was immediate grounds for firing!

It was a different time, the dying days of the Cold War.

I go online and now I see that the remaining LJS sell the crumbles.

But BITD, they were NOT TO BE EATEN! Customers asked for extra crumbles all the time.

I now realize the managers probably took them home at night and sold them on the black market.
