Title: What's your goto fast food?
Post by: Rman on August 29, 2019, 08:37:02 AM
Chipotle for me.  It's rather everywhere, could be made slightly healthy if you omit the dairy items and guac and do bowls and salads instead of burritos.  Yeah, they had their struggles with food poisoning lol, but they're on the right track now. 

I don't really do burger chains anymore. If want a nice burger I'd rather make it a special occasion. Plus I'm trying to eat less red meat due to the Gaia, Mother Earth.

There aren't any good franchises in my town (Stockholm, Sweden). The least bad are Burger King and Max.

If I need something fast I usually go for thai or a pizza instead.

No Taco Bell here.  :-\

McDonald‘s is trash, KFC is a twice a year thing, Burger King is alright but all their shit tastes the same.

I guess it‘s Subway. :jared

Quizno's died around here in like 2004 or so, and I only ate there... once, I think.

I vastly prefer Jersey Mike's to Subway, in any case, Tasty. Mostly because they cut the meat there (so it's not in the "fridge" tub like Subway) but they don't have as many options (forgetting off the top of my head) as Subway does for options, but works for me with the "fresh" meat. :yeshrug

We have most of the american brands except Popeys and like Taco Bell but in general these chains are alright, but there's much better food to be found at owner run non chain shops. If any of you are in town sometime, I'll take you on a tour.

it used to be carl's jr (i believe you east coast cretins know it as hardy's), but they've jacked up the prices on pretty much every item on their menu to sky high rates. they used to be the most cost efficient of all the burger joints where you get a good chunk of grub for pretty cheap. now it's probably the most expensive of the low tier ff joints.

nowadays i spend most of my time at jack in the box, which is pretty ironic cause they used to be the most expensive ff joint.

Post by: nachobro on August 30, 2019, 08:46:03 AM
if we're talking non-major chain, probably my favorite local spot is this place called Stuffy's. they do  sopapillas stuffed with all the good shit: meats, beans, rice, chile, guac, etc. or you can get a hamburger in there as well if you are into that. sopapillas is some shit i never heard about much before moving here but new mexicans are obsessed with them, for good reason.

(https://s3-media4.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/c8eGyH--M_jxvs1ShbwlOg/o.jpg)

the other big thing for new mexicans is Allsups. It's basically just a gas station but with really good but terrible for you fried foods. there's like one in town and i never am nearby so i've never had it but outside of the cities they are all over.

Strictly fast food, Wendy's and Tabo Bell, but their time exclusives expensive shit. Like ghost pepper fried chicken sandwich or triple double wtfbbq crunchwrap.

Dollar menu stuff is all fillers with too little meat. Taco bell is the worst with this by selling a wad in a burrito tortilla with 0.2 oz. of beef.

Are we rating fast food as prepared within a short time?

Then Poke. I love me some fish. There's places in SoCal that will sell you poke by the pound, although most places adopted the crappy assembly line that Chipotle popularized for fast food.

If you're in the Carson area (off the Carson/Avalon exit about two blocks from the Ikea and Stubhub/Dignity Sports arena where the Galaxy and Chargers currently play), check out Poke ETC. Its in a little strip mall filled with Filipino shops.

I hate most fast food but I’ll gobble up a dollar chicken sandwich from McDonald’s :lawd

Mostly local stuff.  Not a snob about fast food or anything but I do just really like the stuff that's local to here.

Kid Valley - Cheapish burger place and they have fried mushrooms... mmmm
Dicks -  The cheapest burger around.. it's mostly simple drunk food.. but it is that old school never frozen beef, hand cut fries kinda thing.  A Seattle classic.  Also Gianna Michaels worked at the Dick's I used to go to... so Gianna Michaels has served me DICKS.
Local taco places -  too many to mention.. lot of different styles, there's about 7-8 places within a mile of my house.

I do have a soft spot for Taco Bell though.   But I also love Taco Time (the version regional to the PNW).
You know I’ve had dicks probably dozens of times but I don’t think I’ve ever eaten dicks sober. Phrasing intentional.

I hate taco time tho.  :yuck

My city has, I believe 5 Subways despite being a city of about 50k. At least 4 for sure. There are more Subways than McDonalds here. And I've never seen more than one car at a time at any of them. No idea how the fuck they stay open.

I checked on their store locator and found that there are 45 Subway restaurants within 50 miles of my house. 9 are less than 20 miles away.

The closest is 13 miles away, though. :fbm

There are more than 50 less than 10 miles from me and 20 of those are less than 5.

I don’t understand it either.

There's no territory limits for Subways shops, and the requirements to be a franchise owner of a subway shop are so low because Subway home office wants franchise fees instead of sustained growth. That's basically it.
