Hardee's

Slow.

I give credit to anyone working on a holiday.

I rarely stop for breakfast but as I had been stopping at Wawa the last few days, I decided to see if any place was open on Thanksgiving Day, during my drive from Chattanooga, TN to Richmond, IN.

I saw a lot of Hardee's stores on I-40 around Knoxville and then, there didn't seem to be any more of them.  When this one came along, I decided to try it.  I was surprised to find that this was the same town where Zaxby's was, where I stopped a week ago on Thursday before spending the night in Chattanooga.

Hardee's has the tastiest fast food, as far as I'm concerned, so it shouldn't surprise that the new Rib-eye steak, egg, and cheese was enjoyable.  For $4.89 + $0.48 tax, I got the biscuit, small hash rounds, and an orange juice.  It was not a tiny breakfast sandwich but of course, it seems a lot for breakfast, doesn't it?

I really was surprised that the employees were friendly and they had a constant line at the drive-thru, so they got no holiday.

The tables needed to be cleaned a bit, but it was about 4.5 hours since they opened.  Were they busy all that time so that they couldn't get to the dining room?  I doubt it.
