I did it...I took one for the team

  • I've gotta weigh in. I love fast food. I have a lot of opinions here.



    Arbys... regular old roast beef sandwich is almost always a win. I think the fries are over rated though.



    Wendys... pretty much stands as my all time favorite, going back in the day. Spicy Chicken Sandwich and fries. Probably my favorite fries when fresh and not overdone.



    Chik-Fil-A... overrated.



    Raising Canes... Not everywhere yet, but getting there. In my opinion, about a thousand times better than Chik-Fil-A. Always fresh, always delicious. Also, better eaten in the dine in area than brought home, since it gets a bit steamy in the box.



    Burger King... meh. Loved it as a kid, not so much anymore. The old nuggets were bad, might try the new spicy ones. Nothing else stands out to me. Actually, I take that back, their Crossainwich is my favorite fast food breakfast.



    McDonalds... it's fine. I played it out, ate it too much. McChickens and fries are pretty amazing after a night of drinking though.



    As far as a burger, I also have to go with...



    Five Guys. In my opinion probably the best fast food burger, and the cajun fries are the best compliment to a burger I can think of.

    Man, I use to fly out of ATL every other week (I worked as a software developer/installer/trainer.)  Getting CFA from the terminal was the morning routine.



     

    I have two weeks in a row of early monday morning flights coming up.

  • My guilty pleasure is definitely Chick-fil-A. I even get an extra sandwich for later sometimes. Just so good.

    Those are soooo good but soooo bad for you.

    So despite the high odds that the new Burger King $1.49 10pc Spicy Chicken Nuggets contain cat food, I took the plunge for all of you.



    I tried them over lunch today and honestly, not too bad!  Better quality than I expected, as a former employee that worked at BK back in the 99cent chicken finger/popper days.



    I love spicy foods and these ones even caught up to me - they are definitely hotter than the Spicy Nuggets/Chicken from Wendy's.



    Now please rest easy and further enlightened in your far-too-difficult daily lunch choices.



    You guys have any crappy fast food gotos?  Not gonna lie, the KFC famous bowl is normally my jam.

     

    As a former employee I'd assume you remember BK tacos.  Unless that was a regional thing.  They were so bad but good.  Basically like a Jack in the Box taco, but better imo.  My desire to go to BK dropped a bit when they stopped selling tacos.

    Arby's definitely sucks





     



    I don't really understand the Arby's hate.

    jack in the box tacos are really bad. Not even so bad their good....just really bad. Who wants american cheese in a refried soggy bottom dripping w/ grease hard shelled taco.

    Actually I do but forgot all about those - they were actually really good!  Nice little spice to em if I remember correctly.



    P.S. - for all your Five Guy supporters, we recently got one in Cedar Rapids Iowa, and while it was really tasty, the sh*t was expensive!!!  Y'all ballers  .  No wonder why I went after 10 nuggies for $1.49 lol

  • My favourite fast food restaurant has to be KFC, but there are none in Switzerland  

    Luckily they are everywhere in the Czech Republic and when I go visit my family there I eat KFC rather often. Other than that I usually eat at McD's or Burger King when I want to eat some fast food.
  • RE: Five Guys, oh yes, those are some good burgers! Unfortunately I've not managed to go in over 3 years. When we found out my son has a severe peanut allergy, we as a family decided to stay away from resteraunts that have peanuts out in the open and freelt accessible. :'(
  • Kind of weird, but I can't remember the last time I went to McFleas. Barfby's Taco Smell, etc... . Fast food on the left coast seems to have morphed into cheap ethnic food; Cafe Rio or Chipotle (Healthy Mexican), any Vietnamese Deli (for Banh Mi's or Pho), Caribbean (smoke pork/chicken sandwiches), Indian (Dosa or Thali), or any of the gazillion Hawaiian/Teriyaki joints around. All are mostly cheaper, tastier, offer a quick meal/takeout, and are generally healthier than traditional fast food choices.



    For myself, a $3 grilled pork Banh Mi with freshly sliced jalapenos wins hands down over a $6 pink slime slab. And since we also "eat with out eyes", a $5, two foot long Dosa filled with curried potato's garners my attention over a box of pre-formed "boots" with "red bits".



    And because it hasn't been said yet, In-n-Out beats Shake Shack hands down!

    They had taco sauce in them.  Outstanding!

     
  • I will defend Checkers as being one of the best fast food chains period. Those cheese fries.  
  • I thought the breading was surprising crisp and satisfying. 8/10 would inhale again!
  • I haven't tried these yet but I miss when they had the Spicy McChickens at McDonalds. Yeah I know you can order buffalo sauce and put it on a regular McChicken but it doesn't taste the same! In terms of other chain spicy goodness, Popeyes is still amazing when you have some biscuits, sides, and sauces to go with. I always picture Adam Sandler in Little Nicky munching on Popeyes. One of his most under rated, hilarious movies.
