The Enduring Mystery of Cook Out

People across the South publicly and creatively show their love for a company that's remarkably private. Is it possible to get to know a fast food chain that doesn't want to talk about itself?

North Carolina Rabbit Hole
@caseyliss fair, but I’ll never accept tailgating as a thing! 🤣
@caseyliss @ThatChipGuy I have loved to cook out ever since I moved in North Carolina in 1996. Their shakes are simply the best.
@caseyliss @ThatChipGuy I know so many people are happy to see Tim Cook stepping down as CEO, but opening a restaurant to celebrate is a bit much.
@chrisdejabet That podcast title was just sitting there.
@caseyliss @ThatChipGuy Is there also „Ternus In“? Or a Hotel chain „Ternus Inn“? 😄
@caseyliss @ThatChipGuy one of the more wild things to me was when the president of the United States in a stop in Raleigh went to the Cook Out where we went as high schoolers with no curfew and nothing better to do before or after parties.
@caseyliss Cook Out: Home of milkshakes you won’t be drinking with a straw. 😂 They are good though.
