And for Lulz...

Whats your favorite, and most hated Fast Food place...


My favorite has to be Taco Bell, its the cheapest place with good food...Popeye's is a close second, cause they get expensive, even though they have the best food...

Worst, McDonald's, although its not all that expensive, the food sucks...Made worse so by the fact that I worked there for nearly a Year, and know the shit that goes on behind the closed doors.....Not that it doesnt go on elsewhere, its just that, I know first hand with McDonald's...

Best: Wendy's
Worst: Tack Bell

Favourite: Raja's
Least favourite: Pizza Hut

Favorite: Taco Bell
Least favorite: Burger Thing.

Favourite: Opa! Souvlaki
Least: McDicks

Favourite: Flying Squid shoestrings
Least favourite: None in particular.

Favourite: I used to like taco bell quite a lot, but now I hardly ever eat there.
Worst: Wendy's in Columbia MO. I once ordered a chicken sandwich and instead of chicken meat there was a green alien fetus thing in the bun. It tasted like alien fetus too and I never went back. :(

Favorite: Burger King

Worst: Taco Bell

Favorite: Mario's Pizzeria. Best. Pizza. Ever.
Lesats favorite: Chili's. They attatched a bar, so it's noisier than if you ate at the base of the space shuttle during a launch.

I awoke.

Frozen to the ice sheet of a cold winter morning in the total darkness of the abyss, barely Holding my tears back I shuffled out into the cold abyss of an English winter trying to forget her cruelty. Trying to move on.

But with my fate surely sealed in the void I suddenly felt the tug of a tender and familiar hand on my shoulder, as a torrent of tears flowed like a river in an ecstasy of emotion I knew that someone still truly deeply cared about me and their love would show me the way to the surface. Punching through the ice sheet I sunk my teeth into that hot golden ray of heaven...happy and full of something that all the Kings of this Earth could only dream of in their Ivory towers.

I love you Ronald McDonald and God bless America :salute:

(that was a text I sent Monday morning at 0715 after eating McHash-browns)

Least favourite: Chinese family run fish and chip places because they just cannot seem to manage chips (nor can KFC if you need a corporate empire)

Least favourite: Pizza Hut

but its so delicious :confused:

Least favorite: Chili's. They attached a bar, so it's noisier than if you ate at the base of the space shuttle during a launch.

I think the idea is you get pissed and eat food AKA genius AKA traditional English pub only with edible food

Best: Quiznos

Worst: Arby's. I swear they have an IQ cap to avoid hiring anybody smarter than the food. :p

Haets:

KFC
Taco Bell
Little Caesars (unless I make it/Italian Cheese Bread)
Pizza Hut
Denny's
Subway

Best : Eh any kebab place, if you can pour chilli and garlic mayo over some dodgy meat in a pitta, yer golden.

Worst : Subway. Everything from there tastes and feels plastic.

Favourite: Probably the fried chicken place a minute's walk away from my student house.

Worst: Burger King. I had one of their vaunted Angus burgers and puked.

I love Papa John's pizzas.

I hate Subway.

Best, the traditional takeaways you find dotted around the UK.

Worst, I have to say it's gotta be Maccy D. =S

I don't eat fast food. I have never even been in a McDonalds or a Subway. I had KFC once and it was dreadful.

Whats your favorite,
Non-chain, non-fast Japanese and Italian restaurants.

If I'm short on time and very hungry, a diner or a cafe can do, but usually I prefer to stay less satiated for a while.

Actually a lot of dishes we get in national cuisine restaurants count as "fast food" in the countries of origin, but unfortunately they aren't offered this way here. Well, not a big loss, the environment you're eating in is nearly as important as the food itself.


]and most hated Fast Food place...
All of them.


I don't eat fast food. I have never even been in a McDonalds or a Subway. I had KFC once and it was dreadful.
I've been in a McDonalds twice, both times with friends (what could I do, wait outside?). The first time I even tasted a burger, half-eat the fries and drank the cola. The second time I didn't touch anything.
By the third time I had grown mature and respected and all that, so I didn't let my friends to poison themselves there anymore.

My favorite is a little local joint called JD's...the food is better, the portions larger, and the prices cheaper than any of the major chains.

I have boycotted Arbys due to their shitty service...hire some fucking employees who can read.

I really have to ask:
- Who in their right minds would (voluntarily) visit a fast food chain?

Any non-chained local place will have a) better quality food b) cheaper food and c) better service.

Worst: Wendy's in Columbia MO. I once ordered a chicken sandwich and instead of chicken meat there was a green alien fetus thing in the bun. It tasted like alien fetus too and I never went back. :(
How did you know the taste of alien foeti?

My favorite fast food places are Pita Pit and Subway. And I absolutely cannot stand Arby's.

I barely ever eat fast food. I've had about 6 McDonald'ses (How do you say it?) and 1 burger king in my life. Apart from local takeaway stuff that's it, so I'm not one to judge.

How did you know the taste of alien foeti?

Do you really want to know?

Best: Wendey's.

Worst: KFC.

Favourite : Subways. Fresh veg and crunchy bread, yum!
Least favourite : all others, and I mean all of them.

Well, imagine yourself working in a business park miles from town, with nothing but a Spar and a Subway to choose from... good thing I like subway.

Whoaaaa. Where do you live? Not many states have Del Taco, and some of the states that have them only have a few restaurants in their states. It was pretty popular where I grew up (Las Vegas), but a lot of people I've talked to have never even heard of it.

There's A Del Taco in Hawaii.

just like there's an L&L Hawaiian BBQ in Vegas ;)

I love Subways, but I like the way they used to cut their bread.

Best: Quiznos

Worst: Arby's. I swear they have an IQ cap to avoid hiring anybody smarter than the food. :p
I have these preferences, although I'm sure the people who work there must be at least somewhat smarter than the food. Otherwise the food would trick them, and they'd probably end up cooking not it but the other people who work th...
Oh. Dear. God. :eek:

Everyone I know here (Michigan) has never had Del Taco or even heard of it, except for my boyfriend, and he only had it when he visited me in Las Vegas. There are some Del Tacos in Michigan, but they're not anywhere near where I live in Michigan. Location-specific chains interest me.

My boyfriend also tried Sonic for the first time when we were in Las Vegas. Before just this past summer, there wasn't a single Sonic in this state. They finally opened one right in the city I was living in at the time, and it was such a hot spot, haha. It was insane. The lines were unbelievably long. One would think there was a party going on or something.

By the way, when I say location-specific chains, I mean the chains that we could easily expect to find in all states but then find out are not in many states. I don't mean little places like Checkers.

That Hawaiian Barbecue place seems to be in even fewer places, being in only ten states.

ETA: I don't see a Del Taco in Hawaii on their website. ): Google didn't give me any good results either, though I see some Taco Del Mar restaurants.

my mistake, yeah Taco Del Mar. :$

Never ate there... yet.

Shakey's.

Do you really want to know?
Hell yes. I'd happily switch my position on abortion* if I get hooked on the taste of alien foeti.

* at least on aliens, that is. :p

Favorite:

McDonald's. Taco Bell is a close second.

I honestly don't dislike any fast food restaurant I've been in.

Best: Oporto's, one of the Bondi Burgers wouldn't go a miss right now

Worst: Well I would have to say Pizza Hut, the pizza's are crappy and sometimes oily. I used to eat it but now I prefer the non-chain stores they usually have better toppings and tastier pizzas

Pizza Hutt isn't fast food...

Little Caeser's is, however.

I do love the new Mexican place that opened up. The bonus is that they have all fresh ingredients and you can tell. However if I need something else to fill my stomach Pizza GoGo has a special place in my heart.

Worst:

Erm...don't know. Burger King maybe.

Pizza Hutt isn't fast food...

Yes, yes it is.

Worst:

Erm...don't know. Burger King maybe.
Yep, I hated Booger King, prolly because of the poor service in the branch nearest me. :mad:

Favorite: Quiznos, or Subway. I like sammies, and the subs are pretty good.

Least Favorite: Everything else. I usually just stay away from fast food altogether, so those two "favorites" up there are relative, and in no way, shape, or form match up to real food.

Yes, yes it is.

Nah.

Not at all.

Neither is Chilis, or any other place like that. (I think I saw someone mention it earlier in the thread).

Pizza isn't fast food- unless its Little Caesers.

Even then, Little Caesar's is awesome. 5 bucks for a large cheese or a large pepperoni pizza. Awesome.

Nah.

Not at all.

Yeah.

But what the fuck is Little Caesers? Or for that matter Chilis?

And if you say Little Caesers is fast food cause you can get a large cheese for 5 bucks well mate, try 5 bucks for any pizza they have. Yeah, that's what I thought. :tongue:

This is Little Caesar's:
http://www.littlecaesars.com/

This is Chilis:
http://www.chilis.com/

How can you not know about Chilis?!

I still remember their rib commercial from years ago...

"I want my baby my baby my baby back rib..."
*really deep voice* "barbeque sauce"
"Chiliiiiiiiiiis baby back rib"

something like that anyway.

Pizza Hutt isn't fast food...

Little Caeser's is, however.

Uh, yeah, it is. It's perhaps not the fast food that you're used to, and the Hot-N-Readys from Little Caesar's are CERTAINLY prepared faster than the Pizza Hut pizza, haha, but Pizza Hut still falls under the category heading of "fast food," especially if you go to an Express location.

Nonsense!!

Pizza Hutt delivers.

Not fast food.

Also, even if you go and pick up the pizza it still takes 20 or so minutes to be ready. Not fast, but no slow. Its normal.

You can't base fastfood if they deliver or not. That's like saying Chinese isn't fast food, which it can be depending on the restaurant.

As for Little Ceasers and Chillis neither have reached my shores yet. As for Chillis it looks good, I wouldn't mind some of that myself, and I would agree with you it doesn't look like fast food to me.

Yeah.

And if you say Little Caesers is fast food cause you can get a large cheese for 5 bucks well mate, try 5 bucks for any pizza they have. Yeah, that's what I thought. :tongue:

It's not because of the price. It's because of the fact that the pizza is already made. On the rare occasion where you actually have to wait a bit for the pizza (or pizza and breadsticks, which is what I always get), the wait doesn't take long at ALL. And most of their sales go to the Hot-N-Ready pizzas, the crazy combos (breadsticks and sauce which are also pretty much premade), and their premade salads and whatnot. It cannot be disputed that they offer fast food, haha. VERY fast food, considering that you get whole pizzas. (:

Well by that logic than McDonalds isn't fast food either.

I wouldn't know 'bout Chinese food, as I hate it.

It just depends on what you consider fast food, I guess. And I'm also guessing that you've never tried a Pizza Hut Express location, because you do NOT wait anywhere near 20 minutes for a pizza. Have you seen them grouped together with Taco Bell or in malls or anything like that? Oh, boy, you definitely get it fast.

By the way, I dislike Pizza Hut, haha. I feel that they're overpriced. They're pizza is NOT much better than the pizza that other places sell. They just have the name recognition.

What? Did you even read what I typed? Of course Little Caesar's is fast food (pretty much as fast as you can get), and of course McDonald's is fast food.

Sorry mate, I thought you were Trollgaard trying to show how Little Ceasers is fast food and Pizza Hut isn't.

I don't go to those as they usually don't taste as good as the single store locations. (plus the only one I can think of is a ways away, and was dirty last time I went).
I don't dislike Pizza hut, but I agree it overpriced. A miss Gumby's Pizza in Lawrence. It was good, cheap, and awesome. Their biggest size is the "big ass pizza"- which was I *think* was inspired by my drunk phone call asking for two big ass pizzas two years ago. I ordered for the whole group of drunken buddies and I- damn I'm hungry now!

Ah, nope. I get what that person is saying, though. I never would have called Pizza Hut fast food in the past, but it certainly is, especially if it's a Pizza Hut Express. Now, if one were to make his or her own pizza from scratch, it would quickly become obvious that pizzas take longer than 15-20 minutes to make. (:

I don't go to them either. I go to Taco Bell, though (mm, it's a guilty pleasure!), and there's a Pizza Hut Express grouped with one of the Taco Bell restaurants that I go. I haven't had Pizza Hut for about a year. The last time I had it, it was just to try some new pizza they had, and I was only willing to try it because my boyfriend was working there at the time and brought it home to me, hah.

Mmm, yeah, I'm hungry too. :D

Well quite, but Pizza Hut in what they do and serve is fast food. That is not to say that making Pizza is fast food. If you go to a restaurant and they bring out a pizza which they have made (toppings may include artichoke hearts, slices of chozio suasage etc) than no it isn't fast food.

But then saying it isn't fast food because it isn't ready for you when you order it and they have to make it, doesn't qualify fast food either. Maccas os the same, when you go and order something form McDonalds you have to wait for them to make the burger, it isn't sitting there in a box already. At least not anymore.

Mmm, yeah, I'm hungry too. :D

This whole thread has made me hungry.

*Wonders if I should take take the car down to Fast Food Corner*

Popeye's in Panama. They serve calamari...in Popeye's. I literally got wood.

Eep! I know, I know. That's exactly what I was saying. I think we're having communication problems. >.<

I dislike most if not all fast food chains, but I am a sucker for some chinese take-out.
