I guess Culver's? The quality is massively higher than everywhere else.
There are several that I enjoy. I think Taco Bell has some enjoyable food. As far as burgers, some of my favorites are A&W's Papa Burger, Carl's Jr.'s All-Star burger, and Burger King's Whopper.

We have Taco Bill in Australia, a Tex Mex restaurant that I like, but not really take away. Carl Jr's has opened up here too, I may stop by on the way home from taking my kids to hockey, but I have had it before and found it, average.
I do like KFC, and Red Rooster. Red Rooster is more pricy than other options, but tasty.

I think it's interesting hearing about the different restaurants in different places.
One of the places I mentioned was Burger King, and I've heard they're known as Hungry Jack's in Australia.
There's an Australian-themed restaurant chain in the US called Outback Steakhouse (I somehow doubt it's actually authentic Australian food).
One time I was talking with a friend of mine who's from Brazil, and he
was telling me they have an Australian restaurant there called Outback Steakhouse, and I informed him they're actually an American restaurant chain, just with an Australian theme. ;)

I've seen Australian themed restaurants in Europe, but never ate in one. I wouldn't say from what I saw it was all that authentic. Looking at the menu, I would say it is Australianised American food.
Chicken Parmagiana is a common Australian though Italian in origin) dish that is my standard pub-grub.

Yeah I went to one in Vegas, felt very much like.... An American steakhouse! :D
Oh, and I had to drink an American beer, they didn't have any of the common Aussie beers. :D Definitely not authentic, though the service and quality of food was great, and I'd go back for those points, next time I'm over there.
The only right answer is Chick-Fil-A.

The first Chick-Fil-A in my area was built several years ago. They were really busy for a few months. I tried them and honestly I'm not sure
what all the hype was about.
I've never had Chick-Fil-A. I didn't think we had them here in Canada but it looks like there's a few in Toronto, one in Windsor and another in Kitchener.
In looking that up it appears even chicken restaurants can get political...
Yeah, whenever I'm at Outback, it seems like another steakhouse with steak & potatoes & such, which we can also get at many other
American restaurants here. Also, as far as beer, I think Americans tend to think of Foster's as Australian beer (since that's how it's
advertised here), but I've heard Foster's actually isn't common in Australia?

The beer, Fosters, is a very successful brand - Outside of Australia. I dont know anybody here who drinks it, and I rarely see it in the liquor stores (its probably there, I just dont notice it - and never seen anybody buy it).

Yeah, it seems the owners of Chick-Fil-A have certain political (and social) beliefs that not everyone agrees with.. I'll just leave it at that.
Fosters is Australian, but no one drinks it here, and it's very rare to see it around. Seems to be mainly for export now. :D
Spectre wrote to deon <=-
During the 70's and mid 80's the two labels ran alongside each other. Fosters is not an original CUB label where Vic Bitter is. Some time
after that, I forget who owned it at the time, John Elliot maybe? It
was decided to trim the labels, and Fosters was the poor relation to
Vic in sales, although well known, it would become the export label for CUB.

The only time I had a Fosters was in Germany. I had to keep up the stereotype! In fact, I'm not sure if I've ever seen anyone drink it in Australia.
One of the more heinous political moves of recent history in the US was the "Citizen's United" decision, that, in a perversion of justice, granted personal rights usually reserved for people to corporations.
Like protecting political lobbying and influence as "freedom of speech".
It's unfortunate that we haven't sought the death penalty for any of
these corporate "persons".
I was in a drinking department with an IT problem several years back.
Our IT department for a global gaming company (hint: Lara Croft) used
to have quarterly department all-hands meetings in one of our office locations - we had offices in Paris, Hamburg, London and San Francisco.
When we went to Germany, most of the bars seemed to have one tap, or at least one "default" beer - the details are understandably fuzzy. When
we'd order a round of drinks, we'd hold up 4 fingers and say (phonetic, as I don't want to look up high ascii) "vier grosse,bitte".
That was all the German I learned, as *everyone* I ran into spoke
English.
I do know a bit of German, but my favourite phrase to use there was "zwei pfankucken bitte" (two jam donuts please).

Interesting, if you want a Chicken Parmagiana (or Parma) in Australia,
you don't go to an Italian restaurant, you go to a pub!
And some pubs have "parma nights", where they offer several different parma varities, with different ingredients.

Yes, it does. My grandmother used to make them, and they were like pikelets. But it seems that it in Berlin, a Berliner Pfannkuchen, which is sometimes just called a pfannkuchen, is also a jam donut. I didn't know about this until I was in Germany, and saw them in pastry stores named as such. Might have just been a Berlin thing, but I'm sure I saw them in Dresden as well.
Pfannkuchen I think just means it is cooked in a pan, which makes sense for pancakes, not as much for donuts.

I'd heard about the Berliner donut (I'd heard of it just called a "Berliner"). There's an old story (which I've since heard might just be
an urban legend) that when John F. Kennedy was president of the US, he
wa talking to some people in Germany and toward the end, he said "Ich
bin ein Berliner", to symbolically mean he's "from Berlin", or he stood with them; the story is that when said that way, it could be interpreted that he said he's a jelly donut (and the "correct" way to say it may
have been "Ich bin Berliner"). But I later heard the way he said it was okay and would be interpreted as intended.
I believe "kuchen" is the German word for cake, whereas "kochen" is the German verb "to cook". Similar, but a bit different spellings. :) So "pfannkuchen" literally means pancake.
Maybe limited to Canada only. Try this link:

There was one which had a double stacked parma, and if you could finish it, it was on the house (along with prize?).
Lazy Moe's has a nice variation, with spiced mince and beans on it, Tex-Mex style.
I would say 3/4 of the pub meals I've had, were parmas.

I'm one of those purists, now. Carbonara shouldn't have cream, and pancetta if you could find it is a marked improvement over bacon.

My understanding is that they mostly keep their ideas to themselves, but
I checked the website just in case.
Other than a mention for closing all the restaurants on Sunday, they donГ±'t seem to be pushing any political agenda. Well, with the
exception of a quote in the About page: "[Our corporate purpose is] To glorify God by being a faithful steward of all that is entrusted to us
and to have a positive influence on all who come in contact with Chick-fil-A."
They are known to funnel a percentage of the benefits to different non-profic causes behind the curtains.

That I heard of, but if the company itself didn't do anything, a boycott is silly. It hurts innocent employees and this kind of activity is tyranny.

Don't forget the top hat! (o_-)

Does that go on top of the flat cap? :P I s'pose you could go at this
one of two ways... either a dud in a dinner suit who might have a top hat... or the tweed suit setup who'd more likely be in the pork pie hat
or if they're more the pleb the flat cap..

However, I can say (from experience) that a stand-out (or unique) 'hat' has a positive effect on the fairer sex. Thank you, Fedora! X-D

Only on the weak minded lesser models :P
In Australia, they would be called "Chicken burgers", not sandwiches.
I had a friend in his '80s who would order a "hamburger sandwich with a side order of French-fried potatoes". Proper.

Hey, any model that's willing to share my bed is not 'lesser', sir! (>_<)

So you say, others may beg to differ ;)
That is probably correct. I believe the "hamburger" derives from the "Hamburg Steak" which essentially was the hamburger patty we have today, also knows as a Frikadelle. It was then put into a sandwich form, so it could have originally been called at times as "Hamburger sandwich".
You'd have to wonder when it actually started. Late WWII or postwar shortage years maybe? Or did someone do the dim sim job and make it out
of leftovers?

I didn't originally like the taste of beer, but I don't mind some beers now and I can enjoy it for its own sake on a hot summers day.
But then, I've almost never drunk beer on my own, only in social situations. So I can't like it that much.

Makes sense. It's similar to how meatloaf is usually eaten by
itself, but sometimes people also make a meatloaf sandwich.
Yeah, sometimes I like something different. I might have one or two of
my remaining non alcoholic beers when I get home next week to celebrate the end of track season and the transition to winter sport. :)
I'm at the Australian Masters Athletic Championships in Brisbane this weekend. :)
I'm a "lolly water" kind of guy. I prefer Lemon Lime Bitters over beer,
Which brings up a possibility I hadn't thought of...
Does fish and chips count? Because that's **definitely** on my favorites list. Cornish pasties count? Also on list.
Fish and Chips is certainly one of our favourite fast foods here in New Zealand :)
