I think it's significant that McDonald's happens to be the one shown as computerizing counters. It's the most soulless and institutional-feeling of all the fast food chains. Well, I don't know about Jack-in-the-Box, because I would never and have never patronized a place with such an inane name and architectural look. McD's comes close, and I virtually never eat there either.
Ha! That's funny, because we just went to jack in the box yesterday, in OKC. They have a 2 tacos for one dollar and I told my wife, I wonder what is this stuff they call meat because its just a weird mush, not like any meat I've ever seen. At least del taco has ground beef. But this mush stuff at Jacks is very shady.
I had the red burrito combo at Hardee's yesterday, Art -- nice price and the meat was pretty convincing.
That's interesting, I know a little bit about the history of hardees and their mexican menu. Hardees is the east coast spin off of Carls Jr, which was foinded in CA by Carl Karcher, a Catholic guy who began with a hot dog stand in So. Cal. (Karcher & his brother Frank donated lots of $$ to a beautiful Passionist Retreat Center called Mater Dolorosa in sierra Madre, CA.` Carls Jr only sold hamburgers and stuff for years. Pretty good burger. Meanwhile in the 80s a startup called Green Burrito began in So Cal and had very good quality Mex fast food. Burrito combos tacos, nachos, et, with fresh salsa bar. The chain began to franchose their stores and expan. I was friends with two guys who opened one in so. Cal. It was an amazing success story as they both, childhood pals from NY, quickly earned brand new homes & mercedes. They were PR genius and genuinely great wth people and great food to boot at their green urrito. (Which had nothing whatsoever to do with mega chain Carls jr/Hardees). Then, someone at corporate GB sold out to Carls which then began adding green burrito to its menu. However, the food quality and uniquiness went down the drain sadly. The independent green burriros still existed along with the green burritos in Carls jr. East coast Hardees callled it "Red Burrito", same menu as the GB in Carls. While its not bad for americanized Mx fast food, it doesn't hold a candle to the original GB. Though GB will always hold nice memories for me for many reasons. ;-)

Don't tell anybody, but I think the mushroom and swiss thickburgers a work of art. Must be full of MSG or something -- I do see double and can't sleep for 3 days after eating one (just kidding).
