Re: Fast Food Talk Thread (Runza)
Regarding beans in chili, I have several family/friends who don’t like them in their chili either. I personally don’t mind it either way- with or without beans.. I don't mind pinto beans in reasonable amounts (my preference is for none at all), but kidney beans are a definite show-stopper. They jus...

I’ll probably go through the Runza Drive through tonight and snag a bowl of their chili, which is pretty good. I don't mind their chili, but I really prefer mine without beans and so I find myself picking around the beans. There was a t-shirt vendor at this year's AppleJack festival selling a "...
