tell me which fast food chain you think is the best and why:
KFC
Burger King
McDonalds
Wendys

also for the sake of this poll these are the only fast food joints left in the world.

I'm partial to Wendy's and Subway, myself.

Wendy's. Nothing I've had from that chain's ever disappointed me.

What a stupid question.

It is all garbage.

McDonalds. Because they actually have good fries.

What's Wendys?

which fast food joint is the best
Oxymoron. :p

I like Wendy's value menu and the Mandarin Chicken Salad. McDonald's has pretty good salads, too. I like Burger King's fries the best and their grilled chicken salad. I like the Chicken at KFC, but we seem to always get bad service.

My favorite fast food place, though, is Culvers. It's a Wisconsin thing, but I think they are expanding to more states.

What's Wendys?
i feel sorry for you not knowing where the junior bacon cheeseburger came from

What's Wendys?


A Fast Food chain that originated in Ohio. Great all-around menu. Their beef is especially good.

I've yet to taste better burger patties.

Jack in the Box is the best and all others pale in comparison.

My all-time favorite 99cent food item. I buy two every time, along with a medium Frosty.

Greatness in every bite.

I just wanted to know, because I voted for them because all the others suck

None of the above. Red Rooster.

That sounds like a Pornoplex.

Yo quiero taco bell!

If I had to choose one, I'd say Wendys.

KFC is the best of those four. The other three fall into the fairly populous catagory of mediocre. I don't know what the bread their chicken with at KFC, but I'd buy it by itself. That stuff is great. I wish they'd let you buy the uncooked batter so you could get some real chicken and bread it instead. That'd make my day.

Jack in the Box happens to be the greatest fast food joint ever conceived. Their seasoned fries are the best thing there. I haven't been to one in quite a while so I don't remember what the burgers were like, but I do remember the secret sauce being good. Unlike the chicken batter I don't ever want to know what goes in to the secret sauce.

I'm sorry, I don't care how many calories it has, how much fat, how much surgar, but NOTHING beats a good Double Cheeseburger meal with fries.

If by secret sauce you mean their delicious, white substance, it's just slow-cooked mayonnaise with onions (though they strain the onions out). Or, if you mean their old-style, orange/pink sauce, it's just Thousand Island dressing.

Wendy's claim to have restaurants in Europe, but I have been unable to confirm this. I've never heard of them before.

Anyway, their mascot is clearly a knock-off of Pippi Longstocking. It's amazing they haven't been sued by Astrid Lindgren's estate.

The others are garbage, but KFC is sum good eats.

i work at KFC. i have done so for the last 2 and a half years. i still don't know what is in the breading except that it is just regular flour with some other spices in it.

It's not a knock-off. That's actually how Dave Thomas's niece looked.

actually wendy is the founders little girl...although she isn't little now

That sounds like a Pornoplex.

That's funny, because it's often called Red Rooter, or just Rooter (root being Aus slang for shag).

It's a BBQ chicken place, they do excellent chips.

I always heard it was Dave's niece. Strange.

to actually in some of the first comercials dave did he would always say "if it wasn't good i wouldn't have named it after my dauter"(don't mind spelling)

I had no idea that it was against the law for kids to look like that "back in the day".

Okay, then TIME Magazine got it wrong.

What a stupid question.

as lame as this sound i just saw the biography of wendys on the biography channel.

I think you're all forgetting the real best: In N Out. But that may be because some of you don't have access to it. It's only on the West Coast.

If by secret sauce you mean their delicious, white substance, it's just slow-cooked mayonnaise with onions (though they strain the onions out). Or, if you mean their old-style, orange/pink sauce, it's just Thousand Island dressing.

Really? Must have been a marketing gimmick. I asked what they were at several resturants and they always said 'it's a secret'. Now I feel silly.

Wendy's, because the rest SUCK!!!! MWAH HA HA HA HAAAA!!!

It's a big gimmick. And when they reintroduced their original "Secret Sauce" (the Thousand Island dressing), it wasn't very successful.

More people liked the Mayonnaise/Onion sauce. And there's a reason: It just tastes better.

"it's a secret" is the same as "i don't know"

this is the reason i didn't use in n out, but i agree it is the burger joint

In comparison to one another, Wendy's is my favorite. But I'd rather not eat fast food.

understandable

A friend of mine is from California, and he agrees. I haven't had the pleasure.

kinda partial to Wendys but I refuse to eat at Mcdonalds after getting rancid burgers and the burger king in town is not much better

Yay Mcdonalds free for over 2 years and counting

None of the above.

None of the above. Red Rooster.

I stopped going there when they canged the chicken cheese and bacon burger, replacing the fresh carved chicken with crubmed crap. Hungry Jack's is great and all Burger King outlets in Australia should be burnt down.

Ohh, and Wendy's is also in Australia...
