Cook Out was a surprisingly good burger chain, in the Carolinas.
We have Cook Outs around here, I've never tried them.

We spent many a 4am at Waffle House.  As a 19 year old, the adults found in a WH at that hour were......beguiling.

This is a small chain around here but their burgers are probably the best I've ever had out.  The wife loves the place.  They only are doing take out now.

I would go to WH around 2 AM in college.  A part time GF worked there at nights.  The clientel was interesting at that hour, and varied.

The other local place is the Varsity, another small chain famous locally, and really not that good IMHO.

Culver's would be my choice for a fast food burger.

We have a local chain here in Austin called P. Terry's.  It's definitely superior to all of the national chains, so when I get a fast food burger (which is rare, maybe once every couple of months), that's where I go.  They serve sort of a thin patty/burger stand style burger, similar to InO but much, much better.  Their fries are also great but you have to eat them fresh, they slide into soggy/greasy territory pretty quickly.

There used to be a chain called the Hungry Hobo

I ate there once and all I can say is now I know why the Hobo was hungry
They won't let me give blood anymore. The burnt orange color scares the hell out of the doctors.

As you know, there aren't many chains in France.  There is one called Buffalo something one see fairly often.  They call McDs "MicDough".  They have a lot of them, they are not very good IMHO.  A local bistro will usually be far far far better.

Seeing KFC and Starbucks in Paris is kind of off putting to me.  I saw a Pizza Hut in Rome.  

The cultural influence of the US on Europe is at times amazing.

We have Cook Outs around here, I've never tried them.

They have the best non-hand spun milkshakes I've ever tried. 

Their menu is kinda about excess at low prices. Like you can get a quesadilla or basket of small corndogs as a side. I think the food is good fast food, but still best suited for road trips, drunk nights and being in college.

Applebee's and TGI Fridays can DIAF.

I actually like Chili's, as far as national chains go.
Never tried Fridays, but Applebee's is overpriced and tastes like freezer burn. I generally agree Chili's is OK, though in the era of fast casual, it's kinda superfluous most of the time.

Chilis, Fridays, Applebies, all the same for me.  Olive Garden, the various Italian chains, all the same for me.

I'd rather spend a bit more and eat local.  I didn't have the option when I was younger of course, and we lived in the 'burbs where chains ruled the day.

Living in town is really different.  I hope we can visit Sweden next year.

We’ve had a Cookout for 3-4 years now and I have yet to try it. I’ve heard the milkshakes are great though.

I honestly believe that if you switched all the Applebees, Fridays, and Chilis signs, no one would notice the difference.
