I am female. I worked at Hardee's when I was in high school (it was my second job after I told McDonald's to shove it after they fired my friends for having a party on their own time at the Hilltop House, but that's another story) in the mid-80's.

The Hardee's I worked at was pretty clean, and the manager was nice and the food was pretty darn good for rural Iowa. I loved the mushroom 'n' swiss burger, the apple pies and the tiny round hash browns.

Every morning all the old men of the town would come to Hardee's, get a small coffee and sit around talking. It was a local institution!

Now I travel the world and eat in fancy restaurants, but every once in a while I still think about those MnS burgers. Yum!
