      as a Brit in the us I’ve come to understand its all nostalgia.

      I would absolutely demolish a Wimpy for nostalgia’s sake back home, despite it being mid fast food

        That’s exactly what it is. It’s the fast food I grew up with. It’s the burger I ate after going to the beach. It’s the burger I ate when my roommate was too lazy to go out, so he’d give me money and his car keys to go get it. It’s the burger I ate in high school and college with classmates.

        Well over thirty years after all of the above, it still takes me back to those simpler times.

        I rarely go anymore because of some of their politics and the fact that they’ve more or less disregarded employee training in their Texas stores where I live now. The California employees know what the hell they’re doing to a man. The Texas employees, well, not so much.

        Wait, soggy? I guess it depends on the place then. Their fries in my favorite place are a hit or miss (most of the times they add too much salt), but I don’t remember them being soggy.

          Soggy isn’t a good description here, but they don’t do a double-step cooking process to give them the really good crispiness. The burgers are great for the price, but yeah the fries are def mid.
