Nah, for the obvious gas reasons. Now, is it was a Foster Freeze... still nah, but I'd certainly consider it if I had other business in that town and could get a Boss burger alongside it.
The only place I've seen Foster's Freezes are in California.

It looks like they never expanded out-of-state, so probably not an option for OP.

I keep seeing your comments tonight with kagis used as a verb. I've been interested in trying kagi for a while now. How do you feel their indexing stacks up to Google? I like them from an ethical standpoint, but paying for a browser that doesn't work well might be difficult to pallete I'm afraid.
I guess that they're okay, but I didn't use them because I was unhappy with Google's index, but rather because Google didn't offer a no-log, no-profile service. I didn't want to be in a constant fight with service providers who are trying to make their money via whatever alternate route they can (selling one's data, profiling, showing ads, taking payment from people to get higher result ranking, whatever). Just wanted to pay them up front and not deal with trying to figure out and try to mitigate the latest way in which I was the product.
If Google would offer YouTube service that provided a no-log, no-profile option, I'd probably consider that too. That is, I don't have a problem with Google-the-company so much as I do the fact that they've decided that providing a privacy-oriented service isn't presently worth it to them. Kagi does have a video search that indexes a number of video streaming services (including YouTube, PeerTube here on the Fediverse, and a number of others), but you're still still needing to stream the video from the provider.
The only premium Kagi feature that I make much use of is their Threadiverse search ("Fediverse Forum" search lens), as there isn't really a great way to replicate that browser-side, and other search engines haven't bothered to implement it last I looked. They keep adding stuff, but I mostly haven't bothered to try the new stuff out.
looks
It looks like at some point, they added a Usenet archives search, which I actually commented here at some point saying they should implement. So maybe I'll make use of that. Right now the main alternatives there are Google Groups, which I don't think Google has been doing much work on in many years and has a kinda-broken index that mingles Usenet results with other scraped forum results, and a small search engine that some indie person set up that doesn't have much by way of filtering functionality.
As to result quality, Kagi has some trial option where someone can try out a limited number of searches without paying anything, so you can try it if you want to see whether their results are what you want.
I don't use their browser, just their website. They have a plugin for Firefox that I use that makes it slightly more convenient to use them as a search option.
Yeah, unfortunate. Even within Cali, it's not like they went the way of the In n Out, I see them close down more than open up. It's too bad, they're the OG blended ice cream, apparently making the Twister back in 1946.
