When I lived in Tennessee, the answer for this was inevitably the
Krystal (fast food place that sells nasty little steamed hamburgers).
In fact, I'm pretty certain that no sober person has ever eaten at the
Krystal in Oak Ridge, TN.

Similarly, in Minneapolis, a popular sobering-up hangout was the White
Castle (near-identical fast food restaurant to the Krystal[1], except
that the little burgers have five little holes in 'em and are called
"Sliders").

[1] Now I've done it. Any minute the rabid Krystal and White Castle
fanatics will beat down my door and tar and feather me for daring to
equate the two, and then attack each other.
