Back on the Hardee's side of the line, I was able to get a double mushroom & swiss burger. It was not encumbered with slippery lettuce or a burger diaper, and I'm pretty sure I watched the kitchen plucking burger patties from a warming tray.

The batter on the onion rings is also a different style.
May the cards fall in your favor.

I never really thought about it. Where is the line? I ate a good amount of Hardee's as a child and a fair amount of Carl's Jr. in Vegas.

For our purposes, Montana has Hardee's, and Idaho has Carl's Jr.
I believe I've also seen the same demarcation used for Red Burrito and Green Burrito, CKE's "mex" flavored restaurants.

As I understand, the Best Foods - Hellmann's line is a bit farther east - officially "The Rockies", but I believe there is some leeway... some stores near the cusp apparently stock both.

I was six or seven when I found out we'd be moving from North Carolina to Washington State. When my Mom asked why I was so upset, I told her, " Hellman's Mayonnaise " was known as the best food west of the Rockies, and I hated it.

A shop in Bisbee sells Hellmann's for the transplanted New Yorkers.

Hellman's Mayonnaise - Food of the Gods

Mayonnaises, salad dressings, sour creams, things like that in general will have me retching in a second.

I’m putting ‘rye bread dip’ on my healthier 15 grain bread

At dinner/conference at expensive steakhouse last night.
4 choices. Filet mignon. Poached salmon. Chicken Oscar. Grilled pork chop.
In a first for me, I got the pork chop. It was charred perfectly and covered in a sweetish chunky sauce. I loved it.

Bills game tonight. Chicken wings of course. Wifey and I are incompatible. She gets mild. I get HOT.

I feel this may be a prelude to an accusatory "Who made this potato salad?"

Now I have an urge to watch What's up, Tiger Lily? to see if I can suss out the recipe for the world's greatest egg salad. I do have my doubts, since they suggest that substituting Miracle Whip is possible...

Living down south now, people will fight you if you do not agree that Duke's mayo is the best.

My wife can really tell the difference between mayo brands, and has favorites. I'm just happy to have mayo and not miracle whip ........................ but not even sure that stuff is so bad as all that, grew up on it

Burger King recently introduced a creamier mayo that melds together with the BBQ sauce I add. I'm not a fan of mayo and have never bought a jar.
I do use aioli sauce, which seems to be spicy mayo.

Burger King with creamy mayonnaise and BBQ sauce? Great for the diet.

It's not a diet; it's a lifestyle, and an occasional Whopper is perfectly acceptable. I eat on a 14-day cycle that includes one Burger King breakfast and a Whopper/onion ring dinner. As I recently had to buy a new bathing suit because the old one was falling off, I'd say things are working fine.

Why not try the 4000 Calorie a Day diet, the one that includes Taco Bell twice a month. You're on that old fashioned 3000 calorie diet, I hear the 4000 calorie will have you looking like Clark Gable in a couple of weeks. LOL!

You know, maybe he should be examined by a doctor, and eat and exercise in a way that this doctor recommends.

I know, seems kind of weak compared to getting medical advice from strangers on the internet, but maybe worth a shot?

Bay scallops, sweet potato fries, and no-sugar-added applesauce. I broiled the scallops instead of frying them, and they didn't turn out very well. Pan-frying sears them and makes them crispier.
