Goddamned elitists! I prefer everything on a menu to be fried in the same oil.

I haven't been there in probably 20 years, but I remember going with my parents and liking absolutely nothing on the menu as a child.

Are there any Long John Silver's in CA? I guess I'm not missing anything.

I'd also like to take this opportunity to direct some hate at Skipper's.

I confess to falling to the temptation of their "Chicken Planks" a time or two.

Pure grease, though. You only need to visit them every 3,000-4,000 miles or so.

I quite enjoy their Lemon Pepper Salmon when they decide it's a good idea to "bring it back." Other than that, LJS is a waste of time.

I love Long John Silver's to death. The guy who created LJS graduated from my college. My dorm hall was named after him.

Now, that makes me feel bad about sitting around playing Madden 2005 and watching Tron all day.

I'll cop to actually liking it a little. I'll go maybe twice a year or so. As Carl said, the chicken is pretty good, and I like their hush puppies too.

If you don't live near a grandmother with a pile of catfish and a deep fryer, MOVE.

You haven't done LJS's until you've done the "Crispies".

I'm (not surprisingly) lost here. Is there some alternate meaning to the thread other than the like or dislike of the restaurant Long John Silvers?

I've never heard of them referred to as "crispies", but I've often heard them referred to as "crumbs". Anyway, most LJS restaurants tend to give them away for free. The LJS that charges you for eating their deep fryer runoff is the LJS that I won't spend a dime at.

I think I have eaten food from LJS about 3 times in my entire lifetime and never being particularly fond of it. Also, just before I moved to SC, there was an article on the front page of my hometown's paper about a lady who bought some lunch at LJS and found live roaches in it. That put them on my NEVER EAT THERE AGAIN list.

Well, then maybe you need to start pulling your weight around here, mister. I thought you were planning to make something of your senior year.

One of Clarence Thomas' favourites, if I recall correctly.

Evidently Anita Hill didn't think much of the menu.

Anderson-

You might be the only person I've ever met that knows what I'm talking about. And I agree with you tenfold about the free part.

World's greatest abomination? A&W + LJS restaurants. Worse than Kentaco Hut.

I live in the heart of YUM! brand country. We have so many of the crossbreed restaurants that isn't even funny. I can't turn my head without seeing a KFC/Taco Bell, Taco Bell/Pizza Hut, A&W/Long John Silvers, Taco Bell/Long John Silvers or a KFC/Pizza Hut.

It's sick.

But, hey...we've got the Colonel buried here. His ghost haunts our fast food franchises to this day.

Not very. And anyone would be stupid to try and validate the two as one.

I'm sure they're waiting on their scientists to put the finishing touches on a dehydrated fish product.

You don't have to go as far as Mexico to figure it out, but they're pretty far off the mark. You don't see much ground beef in mexican tacos. You might see shredded beef, carne asada (chopped steak), carnitas (fried, shredded pork), al pastor (pork roasted in chili sauce), cabeza (head cheese), tongue, or pork rinds. Usually not alot of cheese, either. Fish tacos are also popular in coastal areas, usually batter-fried fish with some combination of salsa, mayo and cabbage. There's a great fish taco place across the street from me, in fact, called Senor Fish. That name allways cracks me up, and makes me think of the Speedy Gonzales vs. Daffy cartoons, where Speedy calls Daffy "Senor Duck."

Here in Rhode Island, we have real hardcore seafood, so no Long John's around. I hate seafood, though. The shit is like sulfuric acid in my belly.

Yeah I’ve been to Mexico and the mice don’t wear sombreros, they just wear bandannas now. Also not just the slow ones carry guns.

On a second note
