Patronize your local burger joints instead, it's an excellent opportunity to get to know the local businesses.

In my town there are only tourist traps and major chains left. One of the last mom and pop style restaurant that was around for 100 years was demolished.

I do that too. But they don't have a drive thru and are getting rarer and rarer.

There are no local burger joints. For several hours drive in every direction from me, every burger place is a chain. Sure some local restaurants also serve burgers, even the Mexican places because burgers are such a staple of American food, but none of them dedicate any real skill or quality to it. No local place dedicated to burgers would stand a chance competing against all the chains and every other bar and grill that makes everything else in addition to burgers.

Oh that's unfortunate. Come visit me and I'll take you for a really good burger.
