 BG> That's an Asia ??????

 JW> Yep. There's a lot of A&Ws in Asia and that's why Jolibee's was
 JW> mentioned as a strong competitor (it's #1 in the Philippines as far
 JW> as burgers go.) It was the only site I could find that acknowledged
 JW> just how few A&Ws were left in the USA.
 
 BG> A&W still serves [...] foot long hot dogs

 JW> Do they have fried chicken? In Canada they serve "Chubby Chicken"
 JW> but not hotdogs.
 
 I'll have to look.  The fall raptor count starts this weekend, so I'll 
 be down at the park where it's held and eat in the A&W across the street
 from the park.  Far as I know, Hot Dogs, Hamburgers, fries and rings 
 completes the menu here.  What more could anyone ask for in a drive in
 where you sit in your car or at a picnic table and eat.
 
 I know my other favorite, the White Castle Chain has started peddling 
 Churches Chicken.  Seems to have ruined the sliders though. They paying
 to much attention to having chicken ready and the dips are doing the 
 sliders the same way.  You can't keep something that was created to 
 be cooked in two minutes laying on a grill.  They turn into little 
 boards in 5 minutes.  I wrote a complaint to the company about that one.
  
 BG> Sonic Drive-in [...] the worst food ever in my opinion.

 JW> I am spared that here.
 
 Your lucky.
 

 JW> Not a hotdog but this sandwich does use the bun. Sort of a poor
 JW> man's lobster roll I guess...

 That's a lot of fussing around to get a sandwich Jim.  Handful of thin 
 sliced meat a few pickles and a thick slice of fresh from the garden
 tomato and some Miracle Whip.  Now that's a sandwich.   :-)

 JW> Title: Shrimp Rolls With Chive Mayo
 JW> Categories: Sandwiches, Shrimp, Dressings
 JW> Servings: 2

 JW> 1/2 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
 JW> 1    rib celery, finely diced
 JW> 2 tb chive mayo (recipe follows)
 JW> Salt and freshly ground
 JW> black pepper
 JW> 1 TB butter (optional)
 JW> 2    hot dog buns
 JW> Minced chives for garnish

 JW> Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil. Gently slip in the
 JW> cleaned shrimp and cook until pink and firm, 2 to 3 minutes. Do not
 JW> overcook or shrimp will be tough. Drain and rinse under cold running
 JW> water until cool to the touch.

 JW> Using a small paring knife, slice the shrimp in half lengthways, as
 JW> shown.

 JW> Place halved shrimp, diced celery and two tablespoons of chive
 JW> mayonnaise in a mixing bowl and toss to coat. Add more mayonnaise if
 JW> a creamier consistency is desired. Check seasoning. Cover and
 JW> refrigerate, for up to 2 days, until ready to use.

 JW> Optional: In a small saute pan over low heat, melt the butter. Place
 JW> the hot dog buns cut-side down in the butter. When the butter is
 JW> soaked up and the buns are brown, remove buns from pan and transfer
 JW> to plate. Spoon chilled shrimp mixture evenly between buns and
 JW> garnish with chopped chives.

 JW> Alternatively, omit the butter step and spoon the shrimp mixture
 JW> straight into the cold buns. Garnish with chopped chives.

 JW> mixture begins to thicken.

 JW> Whisk in vinegar and lemon juice, then add remaining 1/2 cup oil in
 JW> a very slow, thin stream, whisking constantly until well blended.

 JW> If at any time it appears that oil is not being incorporated, stop
 JW> adding oil and whisk mixture vigorously until smooth, then continue
