It's a front for the cashew mafia.

What is a cashew mafia

I don't think I've been to a Long John Silver's since I was a kid (80s). I basically never ate anywhere north of Chestnut, so I assume there was at least one location further south back in those days. I think I've been to Captain D's maybe once in the past 30+ years.

Used to love it, but can't stomach the grease or the gluten anymore.

I used to know someone from the LJS cabal. They'd eat there twice a month with their dad. They had a combination of dirty shame/IYKYK pride about it.

They’re one of the franchises that Pepsi bought because nobody wanted to carry Pepsi in their restaurants. Captain Ds is better. Still not good, but better than that.

I used to like it when I was a kid. Now it just tastes like deep fried vomit

Bradbradchaw in a power move to corner the pot and takeout markets. If you want people to not care about your health inspection, you gotta pay the cashew mafia.

Captain D’s is the one that I’ve never been to and don’t know anyone that’s ever been.

I occasionally go to LJS. Like maybe once a quarter. Sometimes I’m just in the mood for the crumbs.

We eat there

I mean, not often, because grease, but we eat there. 🤣

I prefer Captain D's, but I'll go to LJS in a pinch.

There was one across from Bass Pro, I think where Pancho’s is now.

Like how I will go to Burger King when I've forgotten what diarrhea feels like.

I used to roll through there once a year to get some chicken. That said: I've not been there in like a decade+.

Used to have a friend who worked there. She said emphatically that I shouldn't eat there because of what she witnessed, which amounted to a whole lot of lazing stuff out that should stay cold and flies.

Yeah it's pretty good

LJS and CD are both fronts. Because how can they stay open. One week a year in the Bible Belt is when I see people there, Lent.

It's the best money laundering front west of the Mississippi

I mean, this question goes far beyond Springfield. This is a national-level question.

Im 40. My parents and grand parents frequent LJS and Captain Ds. Every once in a great while i get a craving for some soggy fries cod and fries that taste like old fry oil. So my best guess is nostagia.

We need to get Rust and Hart on this. Im sure its a Pizzagate situatation.

The real question is Red Lobster.

Meth is way better at the d anyway

Those onion rings give me the best people repellent farts.

You only eat there one day of the year when your self destruction desires are so strong you want your stomach absolutely fucked.

I’ve wondered the very same thing nearly every time I drive by the LJS on E Sunshine and see nobody (or very few) there. Haven’t been able to figure out how they stay in business, especially when we’ve seen other, much busier restaurants in the area go out of business.

When I was a kid they used to give us free crispies (loose fried batter) and pirate hats. That's how they get you hooked.

Old people.

I eat there once a year. Yes I’m keeping the restaurant alive.
