Sonic is trying to expand to the midwest. I recently went to one of their restaurants. The drive-in concept was confusing enough, you could not understand a word being said through the speakers.

Also the girl bringing the food almost dumped it on my lap. It does'nt seem that they test for roller-skating skills.

But the part that leads to my red-thumb was that the burger sucked!

It's all in the difference between grass fed beef which sonic is selling, and corn fed.

This may go over well in California but not in Illinois, IMHO.
