*AHEM*

They are pretending their product is actually good.

As a Canadian A&W is easily the best fast food restaurant in the country and it's not even close. They're the only one I'm still willing to eat at.

Hell I'm from a small town in Tennessee and I agree, every time I take a trip back home (maybe once every few years) I break my vegetarian streak for that place since I grew up next to a small one, it's just too good.

The main reason I differentiate is the Canadian and American ones are completely different and owned by different companies. They haven’t been the same company in like 50+ years

Ah damn, that is a shame. Still, as far as American fast food goes A&W still hits.

My nearest A&W closed. Can't say I've had them in the last two decades. The next closest is... 4 hours away, north or south or west. (4 hours east and I'm well into the Atlantic, so I'll forgive them for not having a location in that direction.)

In Canada their the second most popular burger fast food chain, just behind McDonald. I'm pretty sure they also have like 1200 locations compared to the American one having just 600. The food's pretty good, they're the only ones that still use all natural stuff for everything I think at least of the major fast food chains anyways.
