Pic Related, in most of Arizona. They used to have four locations in Tucson. Now there's just three in the state, all in or near phoenix. Same with most of their other locations.
YUM let them burn out and sold them off
>>
>>7598551
Nah. That's a specific type of European ground meat that's supposed to be eaten raw. They bought a bigass portion it looks like. They just picked it up and placed it between two buns for a picture, they didn't even take away the wrapper underneath.

Ugh, the time I went to Long John Silvers it was because somebody in my group was bitching they wanted it. So we found the closest one and boy were we in for a treat.

The store exists in a white hillbilly ghetto known derisively as the Knob. Lots of heroin, rebel flags and burned out homes. The LJS in the knob is staffed by misanthropic human filth and no one dines in because said staff are too unmotivated to clean the actual filth. I do not know why it has not been shut down.

It was like motherfucking John Waters Presents: Long John Silvers.

If I close my eyes I can still smell the odor of the hamburgers and onions cooking when me and my dad would go into the Glen Burnie location. My mom didn't like going in there because it was dirty looking so it would just be dad and me.

C.S.A. The confederate states of america. Its kind of hit and miss (canada ends up creating rock music, also all the shit about us going to war with south america and losing.), but an interesting take, none the less.
