    A&W used to rock but now it is a tired chain lost in the land of burgers. Granted I still like the odd Teenburger or Mozzaburger, that's about it though. Chubby chicken not so much. Eh to the fries.
    I think A&W lost a bit of its charm when it went from the drive-in to the mall. I remember when my mom used to take us for a whistle dog. They don't have them on the menu anymore but they are a hotdog wrapped in bacon with cheese. My sister and I liked those puppies.
    Now, you get a disinterested teenager with barely a sneer on her face asking you what do you want. When you get the burger, you regret you went there in the first place. Quite frequently you get a burger that has sat for a while, little congealed but the bun has just been toasted so it gives you the impression that it is fresh. Little tasteless, no real life in the burger, doesn't explode in your mouth.
    Granted they are still in every mall and I see the odd line-up but she just ain't what she used to be and that is truly too bad.
