in reply to a message by Daividh
Thank you, Daividh! I am just so confused!!! :( I love Whoppers in a big way, but I never eat them. The two reasons being, one- there are no BK's close to my house. Honestly, they are all in the "ghetto". And two- your point exactly. There is an unspoken law that BK must be disgusting at all times, under all circumstances. The other place that I find to be gross is Wendy's. That is the only fast food place that I have ever honestly seen a roach in. I never was a Wendy's fan, anyway, due to the fact that they have extremely low quality food.
Another question for you, I am going to Happy hour today with my boyfriend, and we want to go somewhere that we never go, as you don't live in STL, and you can't give me any suggestions, could you give me a suggestion on a new beer to try? Or any drink? I should probably tell you my likes, first, huh?? I am normally a Bud Light drinker and occasionally Michelob light. As far as mixed drinks go, nothing too strong, and I don't handle Vodka very well. Thanks in advance for your help.

Hmmm. Since you're usually a drinker of Light beers, I'm not gonna suggest anything too dark or heavy (even tho you'll be missing a lot).
If you want to stay in the Budweiser family, try Killarney's. It's their new Irish-malt ripoff of Coors' Killian's but is actually more flavorful than the original. Shouldn't be premium-priced, either. With the obscenely-high grocery beer prices in KY, this has become my "daily" beer.
Foster's or Labatt's Blue are both good candidates to try. Fairly light, but certainly more toothsome than most Budweiser products. Both are made in Canada, altho Foster's is Australian in origin. The Oz version was slightly tastier.
Blue Moon Belgian White Ale is really a Coors product altho their name appears nowhere on the bottle. A nice beer, altho you won't find Priapos Love drinking anything with "Belgian" in the name.
Shiner Bock, made by Spoetzl Brewing in Texas, should also be available out your way. When I'm occasionally in Dallas on business, it seems to have become the most-encountered regional beer. Again, it has a flavor and body that might be to your liking.
Special occasion or "fine dining" beers? Newcastle Brown Ale, Bass Ale, and Negra Modelo -- two Brits and a Mexican, in that order, and that's the order I prefer them in. N.M. is a dark beer, but not that heavy.
Don't pass up the opportunity to try local micro-brews, usually prepared in small batches with very limited distribution. This is a Golden Age for small breweries in the US, and most are worth a try. Since you won't know any of the beers by reputation, you'd probably want to ask for something fairly light in body and NOT too heavy on malt or hops. (Malt provides flavor and body, hops provides bitterness when in higher quantities.)
Afraid I can't help on mixed drinks. Except for the occasional Margarita, I quit these years ago for health reasons.
My son's a bartender and told me about one drink with a great name (altho he won't recommend drinking more than one). It consists of equal parts of three Southern whiskies: Jack Daniels, George Dickel, and Jim Beam, plus one part tequila: Jose Cuervo. The name?: "Three Hicks And A Spic".

What about mixed drinks containing wine or champagne? There is the Mimosa (champagne and orange juice), the Kir (champagne, sometimes a still white wine, and Creme de Cassis).
Otherwise, what about a Tequila Sunrise, a Daquiri, a Mint Julep, a Brandy Alexander, or a Pousse Cafe (a layered drink)?
If you're interested, I could probably list more.
