I was hoping for something else, maybe a nice sit-down restaurant. Several listeners wrote me and really wanted a Cracker Barrel in Lacey.

I know that the "old" Burger King that Popeyes took over was really run down and needed to be updated. But the owners of Popeyes did an awesome job. Couldn't they have just done that to the "old" Burger King?

Maybe you know the reason why? Listen, I like Burger King, although the "King" scares me...the chicken sandwiches are so good.
