Breaking: Bay Area Gets A Sonic Burger

chilicheesewrap.png

The only thing we know about Sonic Burger is that they have something called a Chili Cheese Wrap. Said wrap with chili and cheese contains Fritos corn chips inside. So, come December of this year, we'll be heading over to Hayward (311187 Mission to be exact) to taste it for the very first time.

Whenever I'm in Texas, I always liked stopping by Sonic for a Route 44 (44oz) Cherry limeade. That drink was perfect for a blazing texas summer.
-mm

Yes! Cherry Limeade is where it's at (if you have to be in Texas like me).

You probably won't want anyone to be in the same room a couple hours into digesting those Chili Cheese wraps.

Fuck it, go ahead and throw a Sonic in the Metreon with the Target and the Popeye's. Let's go all the fucking way.

'eff Sonic - I'm waiting on a Checker's to get closer to us than Fresno. mmmmmmm

I assume the Bay Area is too godless for Chik-Fil-A to get any closer than Fairfield.

In-N-Out has bible verse references all over their packaging?, right?

I always wondered why they run those douchey commercials in a market where they have zero presence. Makes sense now.

Bring on the Sonic. I only pass by one each year on a rural road trip through TN/AL. Their grilled chicken sandwich is awesome, but it's the tater tots that will bring you back. They're like crack.

Extra long cheese coney and tater tots. YUM.

Wish it was this side of the bay. Im sick as hell of these damn $13 dollar burgers in SF.

Dear USA --

You know where there are no Sonic burgers in San Francisco? Because we're better than you.

Sincerely,

San Francisco

I ate at a Sonic once with a couple friends while on a road trip. The meat in the Sonic Burger was gray and leathery, the much vaunted tater tots were like old nubbins of potato product with two slices of American processed cheese food product sorta melted over the top, and I kept slurping up globs of some kind of congealed hydrogenated vegetable oil product in my peanut butter flavored shake. Afterward, we sat in the car feeling gross and trashy, and not in a good way.

This used to be a regular stop for me in my fat days. Let me help:

-You can get any sandwich on Texas toast. I RECOMMEND THIS.
-Cheese tots. Cheese. Tots. You hear that?
-Sonic Blast with Reeses Peanut Butter Cups. Will make you ask, "WTF is a Blizzard?"
-There is even a country fried steak sandwich with gravy in some places. Eat at own risk.

Sonic is disgusting- truly. now chik fil-a- dreamy.

These comments just go to show that the Bay Area isn't always all that different from the rest of the country: we just serve our love of fast food with a side of irony and our disdain for it with a side of smugness.

And we all stand around smelling our own farts too.

We built this city on irony and smugness, despite what Starship might tell you.

I had a Sonic coconut cream pie shake (or maybe it was a "Blast", per Brittney) in Wyoming in 2004, and still think about it at least once a week. With pure, painful longing.

Sonic is good, Chik-Fil-A is better, but what I really kinda miss is Culver's. Why the big-hearted heartland is so big. I would kill for a butterburger and a frozen custard some days.

Oh sweet lord, yes, and yes again. And their fried chicken isn't bad, either. Culver's is the only thing I miss about Dubuque.

Bring on the Sonic, but only if their menu includes the french fried cheese piccalos that my hillbilly hometown Sonic provides. Goddamn, I miss those.

haven't they had a sonic burger in gilroy/morganhill for a while now ..

Despite many road trips across the country, I've never managed to go to one of these, but to hear my friends tell me about it, clearly I'm missing SOMETHING.

Sounds like if nothing else it beats the hell out of that horrid "Windows 7 Whopper" in Japan.

I'd settle for a Wendys within striking distance in the city limits.

dude, across the country? i just checked there's one in gilroy, and if you really wanna drive far, tracy

Sonic tried the Bay Area thing before (at least in Sonoma County), at least in the North Bay and failed spectacularly because the food was mediocre at best and took forever to serve.
