What's your favorite fast food?

I'm sitting here, eating a bacon cheeseburger from Wendy's, with lettuce and mayo on it, and this is the best burger I've had in a really long time. (and I wanted to brag about it). But seriously, what's everyone's favorite fast food place? And what's your favorite meal? (You can say more than one fast food place/meal).

Personally, I love this burger, and I love Del Taco (ordering 4 hard tacos and a macho coke. On tuesdays, they have a special deal for 3 tacos being like under 2 dollars.).

Wendy's and Burger King are my favorite burger places. Pizza Hut's best pizza place.

Quizno's subs are downright tasty.

Burger King's Loaded Steakhouse Burger is also made of win. *nod*

Donner kebab on naan with chilli and yougurt sauce.

Best eaten at 3am and also makes a good pillow.

Of chain food: Taco Bell big beef burrito supreme.

Of "faster" food -- any Indian buffet. :) Or the obviously superior New York pizza.

Indian fast food = win.

New York Pizza = F-A-I-L! Everyone knows deep dish is where it's AT! :tongue:

Subway wins. I get the Chicken Bacon Ranch with lettuce, salt-pepper, oregano, and extra onions, pickles, and ranch. It's fucking epic.

The only problem is they're like 1000 calories apiece. So I can't have them :(.

Meh, I like to you know, actually see what it is I am eating, not some molten breadbowl of STUFF.

Same as Chicago hot dogs. If you're eating a hotdog, you should be able to tell without there being a whole jungle on tiop of it.

With as much good ethnic takeout as is across the pond, you like American takeout? Say it ain't so!

The West Cornish Pasty Company.

Simple, easy to eat, fairly healthy, filling, and pretty cheap. Unfortunately not particularly pervasive though.

Now what can you get for 99p? A piece of chicken the size of an emaciated hamster's elbow, wrapped in some floury cardboard. :(

Small Takeout: A small place called Mexi Fresh. They do some of the best burritos and tacos. All of it prepared with fresh ingredients on the spot so its good for you as well! Hoorah.

But you've had lots of Yooper pasties, eh?

I don't know how different Cornish and Yooper pasties are, but I do love me some pasties.

Oh, and when I go to France for 2 weeks in October I'll be living on a diet of kebabs and paninis. And beer and wine because alcohol is illegal in this god forsaken country I'm in

Dang. If I didn't have the beginnings of a migraine, this thread would be making me hungry (and irritated that my car is currently somewhere in the southern part of town). As it is, when not migraine-y, I do like the Quarter Pounder from McDonald's.

no real 'favorite fast food place' but alot of favorite foods.

Subway = Cold Cut Trio
McDonalds = almost everthing on their menu.
Burger King = Chicken Sandwich
Jack In The Box = their Chicken sandwiches
Wendy's = their chicken nuggets (best deal for a buck)
Zippy's = Zip Pac (http://onokinegrindz.typepad.com/ono_kine_grindz/images/ZipPac-thumb.jpg)
Dominos = thin crust pizza
Pizza hut = Hand Tossed Pizza
Papa John's = their crust dipping sauce
KFC = Honey Barbecue wings
L & L Drive in (http://www.hawaiianbarbecue.com/) = Beef Stew

I feel exeptionally qualified to make this decision, seeing as how I had a grand total of 1 Cornish pasty.

They're nigh identical. Filling, crust, cooking, all the same. The one I had in London was a bit chewier, but thats probably from them sitting around a bit more then the ones I'm used to. Not as good as the ones I've had at home, but fantastic for fast food at the train station.

Onion petals & dip from Arby's,

Rather not, but that's how it works sometimes.

Only if you sit around all day and don't exercise.

And Wendy's has awesome burgers. But if you've ever had In-N-Out, they win, hands down.

Donner kebab

Yep. It's official. Every time I see that, I think of the Donner party. I think I would have trouble eating it with that in mind.

"...extra WHAT?!"

I don't typically eat fast food because of cross-contamination concerns. If I have something when I'm out, it's usually something safe like a smoothie or sushi.

Go ahead and shoot me.

McDonalds, most of their stuff is pretty good if the food is somewhat freshly cooked.

Theres a reason they're the most successful.

With as much good ethnic takeout as is across the pond, you like American takeout? Say it ain't so!

to me, takeaways are not really fast food... they count more as eating out to most people over here, i think. you don't get much indian/chinese fast food (ie not takeaway)

but regarding "fast food", Subway is the best (Chicken Pizziola FTW!), with KFC coming close second. i also really enjoy McDonald's, for my sins :(

if fish & chips count as fast food, then they're the best, even above Subway... especially my local chippy


edit: oh yeah, i loved Carls Jr. in California :D

Californians rallied to save the Donner Party and equipped a total of four rescue parties, or "reliefs". When the First Relief arrived, 14 emigrants had died at the camps and the rest were extremely weak. Most had been surviving on boiled ox hide, but there had been no cannibalism. The First Relief set out with 21 refugees on February 22.

No cannibalism, that's a plus.

Popeye's.

Specifically, their cajun rice.

It's a tragic love affair though. The nearest Popeye's is an hour and a half drive from where I live...in a city that has some fucked up roads.:(

Bagara Baingan, an Indian sort of stew made with aubergines, served with bulgur. Quite yummy. Also, falafel. Also, woks.

What's your favorite fast food?

Well, now that the in flight meals on Concorde have gone, it's all a bit slow food these days.
Or no, wait, there's dinner in the ISS, that's pretty darn fast!

But my favorites are probably Mach5Donalds and Tachyon Bell. :D
