I'm not much of a fast food person, but I don't hate them either. If I'm in a hurry or out riding and want to eat something as well as find a clean restroom, hell, I'll hit a McDonalds in a heartbeat. My wife won't eat the stuff, and I understand that too. Anyway about a year ago I decided I'd stop at each one of the national chains and try them. I'd just see for myself which I liked best. So on purpose for a few months I stopped at a bunch of them and ate generally the same thing - some big burger with fries. And you'd be amazed at the differences. None of them taste the same, some are messy as hell, some aren't. Some are so salty they make you weep, some you can't get any taste out of no matter how you flog them with condiments.

Anyway I came to my own conclusion of which is the better of them. I won't share that but I'd ask you which one you prefer. Oh, and don't rule out the pizza, chicken, and fish places too. The next one I'm going to stop at will be a KFC, can't be any worse than the others and it might even be better for you for all I know.

So tell me, what do you like?

I find that to be especially true at Wendy's...

I will eat at Subway or similar but the rest of them. Not a chance.

Steve F · « **Reply #10 on:** February 24, 2011, 03:57:13 AM »

I USED to eat anything anywhere, I've been to them all (except POPEYE's for some reason never appealed to me). NOW, after I suffered a heart attack on Feb. 6th, I'm leary of any of those places. I really have to be careful anymore about what I stuff down my neck.
That being said, I really like the local deli called "AUGUSTINO'S Rock And Roll Deli" in the Chicago area, they have at least 3 of them around. Next would be Portillo's, with their combo's.

Since I started do the South Beach diet, I only eat at chic-fil-a, Subway, Sonic and Great Outdoors and that is just the chicken breast of wheat. And, that is when I am in a hurry. I had no idea how bad that stuff was for you. McDonalds is a death wish. How can you make a salad that is over 450 calories? Ask McDonalds, they know how. The chicken breast is soooooo greasyn

I try to eat healthy, but if I have to eat fast food I go for Subway. Sometimes I'll splurge and go to Chick-Fil-A. They really set the hook with the spicy chicken.

I love Pho! I actually had some last night. Pho Quen is the one I love around me! Best spring rolls ever, and the shrimp they have is the best around!

ksmith0034 · « **Reply #17 on:** February 24, 2011, 08:50:01 AM »

never really cared for 5 guys. the service is slow the price is expensive and fries are soggy.

Spikeybike · « **Reply #18 on:** February 24, 2011, 08:54:39 AM »

they are pretty pricey , but i've never had any issues with soggy fries

Trav-i · « **Reply #19 on:** February 24, 2011, 09:42:20 AM »

Gotta agree 5 Guys is pretty damn good! But I don't really descriminate against any of them, I just try to moderate how often I go. Last stop for me was Arbys about a week ago, and I ate light anyway (like I need too!). I'll probably stop into Panera Bread on Saturday just because it's what I do before my platelet donation appointment.

Bar none Jack In The Box is the best and most healthy for you...

just kiddin' ya'. Actually here in WI Subway is one of the healthy choices and always clean no matter what city I find them. My job requires me to travel around WI and all the Subways appear clean and the food is good. If I would choose a fast food place it would be Culvers. Very clean and for fast food the taste is good. Plus you don't have to always get a burger at Culvers. The salads are good and the tuna sandwich is good.

Arby's. Not in my town, but when we head up North we always hit up the Love's truck stop witha a Arby's on the side. Starts the trip off just right.

The Booger King double whopper is probably the best deal out there of the big chains. Leave the 'cheese' off. It's a good sized sandwich and I'm not regurgitating it for a couple of hours afterward like something from McDonald's.

malcolmgb · « **Reply #23 on:** February 24, 2011, 02:07:11 PM »

I like the McDonalds breakfast and Nathan's Chilli Dog their fries are excellent, real potato still with skins on and fried to perfection crisp shell and fluffy centre
