I don't know about the best. I haven't been to every fast-food restaurant. I like them a great deal though.

He really was a great man. Forget the restaurant, he donated millions to helping orphaned and abandoned children. A wonderful human being.

And the food does rock!

Last year, I believe. The local Wendy's had a small banner on some of their promotional signs saying "Rest in Peace, Dave". Unfortunately, they chose the signs for spicy chicken sandwiches that said "Can you handle the heat?"

I don't think they quite realized the implications. :)

Finally, a thread that fits me! Wendy's is the best, no doubt. I miss the Dave Thomas commercials.

Wendys was one of my faves back when I used to go to fast food joints.

Speaking of fast food... have you seen that movie "Supersize Me"? It's pretty damn good and a real eye opener if you care about your health and eat at a fast food joint more than once every couple of weeks.

Wendy's isn't the best, but it's a damn sight better than McDonald's or Burger King.

I like Wendy's. They're the only fast food chain that serves anything remotely resembling food. And it's pretty good.

You haven’t been to every fast food restaurant, because there is no such thing as a fast food restaurant. Fast food places have more in common with vending machines than they do with restaurants. So a better term to refer to them as is fast food vendors.

Oh yeah, and I am the devil, but I dont think that has anything to do with my fast food preferences.

Wendy's no longer exist in England (The shops I believe were sold to Burger King)

However last time I was in Wales a lot of the service stations had them.

I used to love the Wendy's on Waterloo station.

Wendy's is good, but Runza is the best. They have good hamburgers (you actually have some meat on these) and they have the unbeatable runza.

I remember "Where's the Beef?"

I remember when the original Wendy's where you had to literally decide first how many patties were on the burger and then all the toppings. When there was a backlog they would send people with pads out to get your order recorded so you could hand the order (with all your custom topings) in for faster processing.

I remember McDonald's response to Wendy's fresh campaign where they split the burger into two halves of the styrofoam (that's what they used back then) container and kept only the burger side under the heat.

Their chilli was legendary. Their Frosty was unique at the time.

And even today they are still great.

I remember all that. The chili wasn't all that great, but I was raised in texas after all. :)

But the best all time fast food place has to be Mos Burger (http://www.mos.co.jp/company_e/)!

Wendy's probably has the best quality fast food. Not that any fast food is good for you. But Wendy's tastes the best.

That movie was the most ridiculous piece of crap since F911. The guy who made supersize me ate McDonalds three times a day, for a month, ordering the same thing everytime. His experiment was clearly biased against the fast-food industry to have a basis for these stupid fat-lawsuits that have been plaguing America

I'm so sad for Dave.

I'm going to get Wendy's drive-thru today in my mourning process.

Meh. I hardly ever eat at Wendy's. I prefer Taco Bell(Think outside the bun!) & Burger King, myself. :P

The chili is made from old hamburgers. But the chicken sandwiches rock, as do the Frosty's. ;) RIP Dave.

FYI-Did you know Dave started off working for the Col. at a KFC?

PS-Thanks alot to whoever posted this thread, now I'm freaking tweaking for some Wendy's(which is 40 miles away). I want to scarf down some grimace proportions, so I guess I'll have to leave work early to make that drive.
