They're second rate food. They load up their selections with grease and salt. They're horribly unhealthy for you.

And yet, when you're in a rush, or on the road, fast food is certainly your best bet for a meal, at least for most people.

What is your favorite fast food chain?

Also, here is the place to tell us your favorite fast food item, or, if you have worked in a fast food restaurant before, tell us a horror story so that we may avoid that chain in the future! :p

KFC is pretty good, although now i've moved up north you are far better off going to a local fish and chip shop. My favourite is supported by Ainsley Harriot (Famous British TV Chef) and does really good stuff dirt cheap.

I voted subway but then remebered that Greggs kicks subway's arse. About 1/4 of the price and a better range (for the price of subway you coudl get 2 big softies, a sausage roll and a pink jammie!), they are more a bakers that does sandwichs as opposed to real "fastfood"

Of course now i'm thinking about a kebad from the really ncie place near by, oh the greek salad is awesome...

It's not as if he actually comes in and cooks the fish, lol - he just tried it and really loves it, did an article on the place and they have a picture of him with all the staff behind the counter.

It's the Broomhill Friery in Sheffield - great place. They got three chip shops right next to each other in the student area massively competing with each other so prices are driven right down. One of them sold someone undercooked chicken and the other two put the newspaper article blown up right in the window to put people off going there, and it worked.

Surely that would require them to put some kind of food into it somewhere?

I'm sorry, but I don't eat fast food under any circumstances. I suppose if I was really starving...

At least Subway pretends to be food. And tastes good.

Kind of a cheap cross between Arbys and Wendys

I've never actually eaten at one myself, the closest one to me is in Chicago, about six hours round trip.

They run commercials for them all the time up here though (who can say why?), so I gather they're at least a fairly well known national/regional chain.

What's Arbys & Wendys? Also Hardees/Carls Jnr?

I like a good souvlaki myself. Can't beat the late night lamb sandwich.

I dont know of Arbys but do know of two different Wendys one sells Ice Creams and the other is 'the fast food' its in Auckland and all the people there were Pakistani Immigrants or something and i ordered a Nacho dishh and the thing was frozen (well it was really just cold).

Bastards.
We didnt have time to go back.

Of those mentioned in the poll...Subway.

But my personal favourite would have to be "Wienerwald". But they don't have that outside Germany I don't think.

Rafferty's Chippy. Fish, chips and a battered black pudding. Mmmm... Or a kebab (and not those crappy things you get in Londinivm, either). Rafferty's is great.

Taco Bell, when they're not being boycotted.
Subway when they are.

Well, there's always the local chipper... but my personal favourite in Dublin is Charlie's, a Chinese fast food place.

My two all-tine favourites from Germany are pizza from that little place in Bamberg in the Sandstrasse, and any Turkish Doener Kebab

It was a close call for me, between Subway and Burger King.
Harvey's is good too.
