On a fried chicken restaurant?

The Burger King at the Harvard Market is now a UPS store, I have absolutely no idea where the nearest McDonald's is, and now KFC is closing. Even Jack In The Box has apparently been demoted from its prominent place on Broadway. Looks like we're seceding from Fast Food Nation. Of course, there's always Dicks...

JITB's "Big Cheeseburger" is the best value on the planet at $1.29. It is big and juicy like their $4 burgers and is better than their Jumbo Jack but most don't know it is on the menu. Or most prefer the token lettuce/tomato. Not me I am a "Ultimate Cheeseburger" kind of guy and these one fits the wallet right and certainly nothing close to your typical $1 burger.
