Nope, the last time I went to one, it was just closer to my house, and more convenient than McD's. Just luck of real estate really. Their claim of 'flame broiled whopper' just doesn't make me want to go there. Who cares if it's flame broiled or cooked on a stove, it's a burger. And if you can't cook the onions before you put them on the burger then you're just lazy.

I did see them in Russia, several places, and the only thing they had going for them was that there was no waiting. Because nobody EVER went there, that I could recall.
