ALISO VIEJO, Calif., Sept. 22, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Johnny Rockets restaurant chain announces the grand opening of its first-ever fast casual concept called Johnny's Burger Factory. The new concept was created, in part, to appeal to a new generation of customers – millennials – who are time-starved and demand faster service without sacrificing high quality, great tasting food. Johnny's Burger Factory at Walden Galleria will open on Saturday, September 26 at 10 a.m. for its official grand opening. The new restaurant will donate 20% of the proceeds generated from sales of its grand opening day to benefit The Salvation Army of Greater Buffalo and its programs dedicated to feeding hungry families throughout Western New York.

Charles Bruce, President and Chief Executive Officer for Johnny Rockets said, "Every detail about the development of Johnny's Burger Factory, from the first design to construction, product development and marketing had a new kind of consumer in mind. It's not possible to ignore millennials and still be competitive in the better burger category."

kind of a smart move. kind of lol in that their concept in the first place was to emulate the retro feel of short-order diners and fast-food drive-thrus.

btw we're getting Burger King's creepy Japanese black bun burger! now rebranded as "A1 steak sauce flavor-infused" Halloween Whopper.

Technically a chain restaurant

Bowien has decided, after a great deal of thought, to transform Mission Cantina into a burrito-only restaurant. And, to commemorate the shift, he's unleashing a new Mission Chinese Food burrito that includes mapo tofu, salt-cod fried rice with Chinese sausage, and chili vinegar, rolled up in a griddled flour tortilla, for $14.

that's EXACTLY what all the franchisees featured in ßurgerßusiness.com naysayed about when all-day breakfast was still just a twinkle in some mcdonalds VP's eye

Save the brand, fuck the franchisees seems to be the thinking.

Jack In The Box has done breakfast all day for years. JACK IN THE BOX. It's got to be possible.

if Kentacohut can handle 100 different menu items surely McDonalds can get some damn biscuits

That does not look good at all.

there's more than one way.... (cut to someone doubled over a toilet, retching) ... to eat a Reese's.

probably should have posted that to the strongo nuevo thread really

That actually sounds good to me. I'm going to try to play the home game. It'll have to wait until some day when my wife's not around though. That just wouldn't fly with her.

are you sure you shouldn't have someone around just for safety

squirting molten pbc, insulin-shock cardiac event, etc.

that is a really really bad idea!

holy shit, the works is a chain now? when i lived in ottawa i think there were only 2 locations, both in ottawa!

i am probably going back home for a couple of days next week... kinda tempted to try this, but because it sounds good in any way, but because ilx demands it

not* because

The Modern Day Burger? Is it some kind of commentary on life being crushed between walls of concrete?

oh is that a colonel sanders there? is it supposed to be some kind of chicken pizza?

it's a pizza where the pizza base is made of chicken fillet, obviously

oh a CHICKEN pizza

the text on the big sign says

chicken under pizza--
birth of chizza!

sorry thomp... but that's been posted in this thread before

haha they're new here, i didn't think to check. guess it's not the birth of chizza after all huh

kinda weird how the american food lab concepts make this weird circuit of asian nations, one wonders how much it is purely based on local decisions or whether someone in kfc food lab head office is going 'you know what, i hear in the phillipines they like chicken ... and pizza ...'

Extra Dirty Second Wife

Alright, now I want to tempt diabetes and try a Dirty Dr. Pepper.

I could have sworn that Mormons were against caffeine, but I guess the church clarified it's just against coffee and tea. An economically prudent piece of religious law, it seems.

throwing more sugar into soda is really something

Are those sodas caffeinated?

Speaking as someone who has to deal with Cokes in the brown cans when I raid a certain relative's fridge, yes, LDS members eschew caffeine in all its evil forms.

I think so? It doesn't have any mention in the article about the weirdness of them serving mostly non-caffeinated stuff, which you would think relevant.

these kids and their liberal reading of scripture, I tell ya

not my place to play 'no true scotsman' with mormon doctrine, do whatever you want, fine people of the latter days

Looks like you're right. Lot of Code Red on here: http://www.sodaliciousutah.com/

But they are closed on Sundays.

bless

lol @ one of the popular drinks being called "2nd Wife"

Huh.

Finally, another small correction: Despite what was reported, the Church revelation spelling out health practices (Doctrine and Covenants 89) does not mention the use of caffeine. The Church’s health guidelines prohibit alcoholic drinks, smoking or chewing of tobacco, and “hot drinks” — taught by Church leaders to refer specifically to tea and coffee. *

So Sleepy Time Tea is worse than Code Red Maximum Extreme Dew.

prescription non-hot drink sleepytime pills are ok, iirc
