Tucson could ban me, but I don’t like Eegee’s eating places. Here’s why

Eegee's was named the best fast food in Arizona by Food & Wine Magazine. The Tucson chain is known for their Grinder sandwiches, ranch fries and frozen fruit drinks.

In Tucson, everybody has an Eegee’s memory.

For me there were the scorching summer afternoons waiting in the drive-through for a Styrofoam cup of watermelon ice.

Let’s be actual: Eegee’s charm is
