The five stages of Runza
In the shadow of McDonald’s, the green and yellow awning of Runza beckons cars from Johnson Drive. The Nebraska chain has been dishing out bierock (which they call a Runza sandwich) in Mission since May, but I’ve managed to steer my car past without a second thought. That all changed yesterday when it was 2 p.m. and I had a serious hankering for crinkle-cut french fries. The good news is that their fries are the best version of the crinkle-cut fries that you remember from school lunches — hot, fatty and salty. As for their signature sandwich? I’m still trying to figure out what I think of it.
