The A&Ws here don't offer any of those. They do have really good root beer and
the best *diet* root beer I've ever had. But, no clam anything ... although
most of the stores I've seen in the Great American Outback are co-located with
Long John Silver fish parlours. LJS offer breaded rubber bands, but no chowdah
and no clam cakes.

LJS offered a "crab" cake here once upon a .... so, I thought, "What the hey,
I've got a coupon for a freebie with a Fish & More". I took the little piece of
whatever it was that wasn't breading or obvious vegetable back up to the
counter and asked did I win something for finding actual protein in all that
bread. They got pretty huffy and I was asked to depart the premises.   Bv)= 
BTW - that was one of the three stores I mentioned the other day that had
closed. It's now a Liberty Tax Service - so, it's a rip-off in a different
direction.
