A&W: Brooklyn Center

A & W: Brooklyn Center
Today I was out doing a few errands and grabbed a bite at A&W near Brookdale shopping mall. A&W shares the building with KFC. There was some confusion when I ordered since both menus share the same board. "A1" is the A&W menu. They started asking if I wanted spicy or original. The longest period of time was spent at the order mike.
I went with the burger even though hot dogs are the featured item at A&W (or is it the Root Beer?)

I wanted the root beer, but two things
#1 it needs to be in the famous frosty mug, not the plain ordinary paper cup.
#2 the best root beer has NO ice. Somehow the kick is gone with the abundance of ice.

I ate the meal by Barnes & Noble. As I was dining a panhandler came by asking for money as I was testing my blood. I guess that shows how the neighborhood has deteriorated.
