So what's the star logo? I imagine it's just something we don't have in Alberta, else I'd recognize it too

Hands up everyone who thought the one on the bottom left was Wendy's? Yeah, good try.

I thought the bottom left one was Del taco. Which I’ve only eaten at once lol.

Fortunately Del Taco have kept themselves off of my naughty list thanks to their highly recognizable sawblade sun logo, which they even managed to retain in their most recent rebranding. Ditto with Taco Time and their cactus.

Thats funny, I had the craziest feeling that it was a random taco place in Tuscaloosa that I've never seen anywhere else. What are the odds? Lol
