I'm in a small town in southern North Carolina. I've got all that plus 2 Peruvian, and 2 Thai, within a 5 minute drive.

Never got the hype. It's like a backyard burger at best.

It's cheap which is nice but.. That's about it. IMHO.

Fair and I don't disagree. Hush puppies are pretty good and when you're road-tripping, it's a nice option to have. My wife went to Wake Forest and introduced me to Cook Out. I'd seen the billboards over the years and never paid it much attention. When I was in grad-school in Northern Virginia, I would drive down to South Florida regularly and Cook Out was great for that run. Better than most fast food on the way (unless I was willing to actually stop for a bit, then I'd hit up Waffle House)

Can definitely respect waffle house. All star special ftw

We might be neighbors; is one of them a Thai Orchid in the building that used to be the old Pizza Hut, next door to the ABC store in the building that used to be the new Pizza Hut?

That doesn't sound familiar, sorry. It's good to know that other small towns down here have just as much variety though!
