Tolerable chain fast food?

There was a CJs off Ft. Union by Alberstons that opened when I was still in HS, 95 or 96. You are absolutely correct that it was not the same as Hardees though as there was one of those a few blocks away. I remember when Mailman was their pitchman in Utah they started selling fried chicken and had this peach cobbler that came with the meal that was actually pretty good.

That sounds like the right timeline. I think the one in St. G by the outlet stores opened in 1993 or 94. It had this big star plaque hanging on the wall that said it was the first CJs in Utah. wally seems old, so i'm guessing he graduated pre 1994.

Hardees and Carl's Jr. were different when you were in high school. But there weren't any CJs in northern Utah. CJ's bought Hardees in 1997. Now you know.

When I was in high school Utah Carls Jr. places were called Hardees. Karl Malone advertised for them, you may recall. I used to love the Hardees "Ultimate Bacon Cheeseburger" or "UBC" as we called it.

the burger was served on a hoagie-style bun and I swear it had to be at least 1800 calories alone, but we always ate it with fries and a shake just in case we needed to expend 3500 later that evening.

hardee's cinnamon raisin biscuits. those were (are?) very tolerable.

Also, I remember CJ's being a dine-in restaurant a-la Denny's back in the mid 80s in Mesa, AZ.

Is Cowboy Chicken the place by the Condoms to Go store?

Yes, very conveniently located. Of course, there is a canes about a block from that location as well.

The missionaries around here all love raising cane's chicken. One local franchise is own by a member (or maybe someone that just likes mormons) and he gives them free drinks when they stop in. I would rather go Cowboy Chicken but I haven't really seen them outside of DFW.

It's terrible for me, but I really enjoy Raising Cane's. I've only seen them in LA/TX/OK.

Started in Baton Rouge. My buddy knows the owners. Growing like crazy. Really simple menu and decent quality chicken.

Pizza Pipeline opened up across from Helaman Halls when I was a freshman. I remember it being cheap and good. Then after the mish, not quite as good.

Yeah, 18-year-old me loved that place. I remember really liking the... what did they call their dessert pizza sticks?

So many late night homework sessions fueled by Pizza Pipeline carryout. Seemed like the carryout deals always came with two sodas in their PP cups.

We need to start a counter for Uncle Ted's cow joke. I will start. This is probably fairly close:

Hey, don't make fun of me... I am trying to educate y'all and save the planet (from the cows)!
