Favorite fast food

[Villavic]

I'm not crazy about burgers, but I like it anyway. And the best in Peru is BEMBOS Burger, a peruvian rest who always create new combinations. It's very good!

BTW, did you like it KFC in the early 80s? I think it was better, or maybe because I was a teen, I don't know. But now I don't like it at all. I think in the 80s it tasted better, and pieces were bigger, I'm sure.

[WelshWitchPMD]

Well, I go to Mc Donalds, BK, the usual stuff. I don't go much because I don't like burgers that much. There is a Popeye's almost down the street from me so I do go there quite a bit. I don't like KFC that much. I heard that it was better in the early 70s from what my Dad tells me.

I like Mexican pizzas from Taco Bell and I like the personal pan pizzas from Pizza Hut.


When I was very little we used to have a place called A&W in Cranston and we went there all the time. There is still one in Smithfield, RI but I rarely get up there. It was very cool. It reminded me of Arnolds on Happy Days but I don't know what it looked like inside. We would park the car and a waitress would walk up take the order and put a tray on your driver side window.
They were famous for Root Beer and we would get a big mug and order food like, a hot dog, hamburger, fries, etc. I am wondering if anyone has a type of place like this in their area? It is now closed for the winter.

There's an A&W in a town near to me. They have the root beer floats and I think they're big on hot dogs. I've never been, but I think that's what I remember someone saying about them. It's not the drive-in type thing, though; I think it's connected to a gas station. Also, there used to be one in the mall years ago, but it's been closed for a while now.

BTW, my favorite fast food: CHICK-FIL-A!!! followed by Sonic in a close second place.

Yeah, they did have one a mall over here for a while but it just wasn't the same. It is not there anymore.

We don't have a Chick-Fil-A or a Sonic here. I have seen a few in my travels but I never got a chance to try them.

[WildInTheWind]

The only fast food I really eat, is Taco Bell. I love it. Cheesy gordita crunch with beans instead of meat...the best! I am also obsessed with the quesidilla sauce. I get it as a side to dip my bean burritos in :p

It's very good!I don't eat fast food any more, Villavic, but back when I still occasionally partook, I liked Jack in the Box chicken fajita pitas, Baja Fresh shrimp tacos, & Wendy's chocolate shakes the best.

[catinthedark]

Not much into the fried stuff, but I die for Dairy Queen butterscotch dip cones...

And mint Oreo Blizzards.
And coffee Oreo Blizzards.
And Skor Blizzards.
Smartie Blizzards.
Cherry Cheesecake Blizzards.
Oreo Blizzards.
And every other Blizzard on the Blizzard menu. :]

[wondergirl9847]

We could be here all NIGHT with my list. LOL

Long John Silvers (My #1 fave)
McDonalds (Quarter Pounder w/Cheese or Filet-O-Fish only...2nd fave)
Chick-Fil-A (best chicken sandwich EVER!)
Whataburger
Sonic (Bacon chedder toaster sandwich only really)
Dairy Queen (the closest one is pretty far away tho. I love the steak finger basket and ice cream...mmmmmm)
Arbys
Taco Casa (even tho it's WAY too greasy :( )
Dominos (cheese pizza only)


They are building a combo of A&W and Long John Silvers (YAY!) pretty close to my house, so I'm stoked about that. I don't care for A&W tho. There used to be one in the mall, but it shut down.

Places I don't care for:

Wendys (except the fries and shakes...other than that..YUCKO!)
Taco Bell (I'm up and down about this place. I keep vowing never to go back, then I try it again and they are okay, then the next time, bleck..LOL)
Captain D's (Just ew.)
A&W (I don't like root beer and their hamburgers suck.)
Burger King (Their hamburgers suck. The chicken is okay tho.)

We don't have any of these places here. Wendy's fries are ALWAYS cold when I get them. :mad: I like Wendy's junior hamburger WHEN they get my order right.

[GateandGarden]

I love the fries, apple dippers, and baked apple pies at McDonald's. Also, I love the various cream slushes at Sonic. :nod:

[StevieNicksEO17]

I eat pretty much anything...McDonalds, Burger King, Wendy's, Arby's, Taco Bell... KFC Is the nastiest thing out there, by far

My favorite is Portillos and Red Robin!! Do any of you have Red Robin by you? Amazing. :nod:

[estranged4life]

gimme Subway (Veggie Delight, BLT, Cold Cut Combo & Meatball), Pancho's (My favorite Mexican food EVER!!!), Sonic (An OKC based company with great food), Boomerang (Love eating there just so I can scheme how to swipe all of their 70's classic rock memorabilia...And yes, They have FM & a huge Stevie promo poster for "Timespace") & Fazzoli's (Best...PERIOD!!!!) and I am a happy guy.

[WildInTheWind]

Subway is awsome! My newest subway thing is chipolte sauce. Mmmmm..
Though I was pissed when they got rid of feta cheese and red wine vinagerette (sp??) !
~*~becky~*~

[WildInTheWind]

Fazzoli's (Best...PERIOD!!!!) and I am a happy guy.
Fazzolins as in the fast food-ish Italian place? I don't know, I've eaten there once and I probably could have made something better out of my freezer. I did like the bread sticks, though.

~*~becky~*~

[GypsySorcerer]

I like Fazoli's, but I don't eat there much. I like Wendys too, and treats from Dairy Queen.

[ontheEdgeof17]

I only eat Subway and pizza. I can't stand any type of fast food burgers and fries anymore.

[amber]

I liked JITB the best, till they thickened their fries. But i'll eat just about anywhere. I looooove burgers (haven't had one in 2 weeks, though!) and sometimes i get the hots for Taco Bell, but really, there's a good mexi place by my house so I usually go there if i want mexican food, which is basically all the time. Not that i eat it all the time, I just want it all the time... :rolleyes: Subway is OK, i appreciate their menu choices, but i like the sandwiches i make much better... :p

[wondergirl9847]

Worst french fries EVER. Bleck!

that's a good plan. But subway sandwiches taste weird to me sometimes. Don't know why... :confused: I still eat them, just when i do, I always wish i'd made myself a sandwich instead... :shrug:

They certainly are. They take animal cruelty into a whole other dimension. Sick bastards is what they are.

[strandinthewind]

I lOVE McDonald's fries. They are the best to me.

I think fast food is like anything else - everything in moderation.

I mean my grandmother is 95 and has eaten everthing she wanted her entire life. Other than being 95, she is in comparatively good health.

[dissention]

I try not to eat meat, so I usually get the wrap with fake bacon, a little ranch dressing, lettuce, and tomato. :laugh: I don't get anything other than the wraps, so I don't know about the bread. All I know is they have funky breads.

[dissention]

I mean my grandmother is 95 and has eaten everthing she wanted her entire life. Other than being 95, she is in comparatively good health.

Judging by the current obesity and diabetes epidemics currently sweeping our country, I think I can safely say that most people are not your grandmother. :laugh: :wavey:

oh, yeah, i've never tried the wraps. But if i paid $5 for ranch, lettuce, tomato, fake bacon and a tortilla, i'd be really pissed at myself for not going grocery shopping... :lol: JK - yeah, i don't know what makes their stuff taste weird to me - the meat or the bread?
Also - I love McDonald's fries, too... :D

I NEVER go to Subway without a coupon from the newspaper. The day I spend $5 on a wrap is the day I vote Republican and break my Franz Ferdinand CDs into pieces. :laugh:

Have you seen Super Size Me? The extra on the DVD about the fries is sickening. :lol:

:lol: :laugh: - yeah, really. My boss got all these really good coupons from there...Like - "free six inch sub with purchase of soda!" :thumbsup:

No, I haven't watched it, but i've heard allllll about the fry experiment. and i read articles in the paper of what basically happened to his health and his weiner on the all Micky D's diet. yes, it's repulsive.

Yeah. I stopped eating there a long time ago. *shudder*

[amber]

I like quiznos, but I can only go to one when i go to the city. mmmm, toasty bread...*drool*

[77Rumours77]

My picks.....
Burger King - Plain Burger w/ fries!
Wendy's - OMG Best fast food ever!
Chick fil a - (sp?) I dont have one close by, but its one of the best chicken sadwitches I have ever had!
Taco Cabana - Breakfast Tacos all the way baby!

[dissention]

Yeah. I stopped eating there a long time ago. *shudder*

They're pigs. I wonder if anyone who works for that company has a pulse, honestly.

[strandinthewind]

My great gran was that age, too. But they grew up with no fast food, and the environment was a bit cleaner, and there was more hard work and less sitting on your ass, etc. :p

[Hawkeye]

Boston Market is one of my favorite resturants period, but I don't really consider it fast food, but it is close. My favorite Burger Type Places are in order:

McDonalds- Love everything there, don't care if it kills me :laugh:

Burger King- French Fries are better then McDonald's and so are some burgers. I like the spiciness in their nuggets.

Wendys- Can't STAND their burgers, but this is the chicken place

Arbys- I like the beef and chedar sandwhiches

As for KFC I like the popcorn chicken and thats it.

[Hawkeye]

They're pigs. I wonder if anyone who works for that company has a pulse, honestly.

Yeah but how can you not like the colonel :laugh:

[strandinthewind]

Yeah but how can you not like the colonel :laugh:

I tend to agree - plus, I have often said that if any company's record is examined too closely, they all suck and have done some horrible things. Granted, what KFC does is bad :nod:

[hayley]

I have a serious problem when it comes to the #6 at Wendy's. Spicy chicken filet. With a Dr. Pepper. $5.90, biggie sized.

Yep.

[Hawkeye]

My great gran was that age, too. But they grew up with no fast food, and the environment was a bit cleaner, and there was more hard work and less sitting on your ass, etc. :p

my great grandma lived to exactly 95 too.

[dissention]

Yeah but how can you not like the colonel :laugh:

Maybe because I don't like the idea of innocent animals being shot up with so many hormones that they grow so abnormally to the point where their legs don't grow with the rest of their body. Because I don't like live, innocent animals being thrown into vats of boiling oil. Because I don't like them having their legs broken and having their beaks cut off while they're alive.

It's cruel and it's disgusting. How would you like it if someone did those things to you?

[dissention]

I tend to agree - plus, I have often said that if any company's record is examined too closely, they all suck and have done some horrible things. Granted, what KFC does is bad :nod:

So, that makes what they're doing alright, because other companies do the same? It's always bad and for someone to support it simply because they "like the Colonel" is pretty abhorrent, IMO. Buy chicken from companies that kill their livestock in non-violent manners such as gassing and make your own fried chicken. :nod:

I submit all meat you eat is that or a variation thereof. Do you really think the animal that results in the meat in a Subway wrap is unaltered :shrug:

I don't eat meat at Subway, so your point is moot. :xoxo:

When I buy meat, and it's very rarely, I buy it from Trader Joes or Whole Foods. No hormones or any of that ****.

[dissention]

If anyone eats from KFC, I suggest checking out this site:

http://www.kentuckyfriedcruelty.com/

Every penny that you spend helps to abuse and torture an innocent animal. I doubt any of would like it if it was our dog or our cat.

And if you're interested in helping to put a stop to this sick ****, I can give you some of my contacts at PETA and they'll send you some material. :wavey:

Well, I remember you saying you ate their chicken wraps :shrug:

If you did not say that and you have never eaten one - then I guess I am wrong about that.

BUT, the fact that you support a chain that uses that kind of meat is still dispositive to the point that you claim to abhor businesses like KFC for their hormonal treatment of of chickens and yet you support Subway which uses the same kind of meat :shrug:

I have eaten them before, but I no longer do. ;)

And I think you need to brush up on the standards of some of these businesses. KFC is a Yum! company and they do not own Subway. Subway instituted gassing four years ago.

[strandinthewind]

AND ANOTHER THING :laugh: :laugh:

I am sure that Gen Tso's chicken is free range and hormone free :laugh: Actually, I often wonder if it really is chicken at all :eek: :laugh:

Spin :wavey:

Of course they do, but they don't do it in the extreme manner that Yum! does. PETA investigated their suppliers four years ago and found that they were almost as bad as KFC. They ended up renovating their standards and aren't anywhere near as bad as Yum! companies.

Yes, and I see a difference between a company that buys from suppliers who kill their livestock in non-violent manners and a company that buys from suppliers who torture their animals. If you don't, fine.

Anyone who eats KFC or buys Yum! products might as well just go out and torture their own chicken. Same goes for IAMS pet food.

I'm not going to sit here and say that I don't somehow support the abuse of animals by some company because we all do. But if I know whats going on, I'm going to stop myself from buying their food or products and I'm going to try to educate and have them get to know their meat. They live and breathe just like us and our pets. You wouldn't throw your dog into a vat of oil while it was alive, don't do it to your food. If you're going to eat it, make sure it didn't suffer. But I get sad and start to cry just by going into pet shops, so what do I know? :laugh:

Exactly. I could go buy real leather pants and they'd last longer, but I don't. I could eat real bacon, but I don't. Just think of these poor creatures and the horrors they go through.

Once again, it is line drawing. I have seen animals slaughtered and have killed more than one out of mercy (which is the hardest thing to do IMO) - so I just am a little more hardened.

well I'd never wear leather rpants or eat bacon but for other reasons. I don't see how eating or wearing something is bad, when you're not the one doing the torturing. It's already been killed, why not eat it.

Do You refrain from killing bugs too?

[dissention]

Of all the things you could have said. :rolleyes:

Equating the death of an animal to the plucking of a plant. That's a classic.

[dissention]

Do You refrain from killing bugs too?

Yes, I do. If I see one in my apartment, I scoop it up and put it back outside. Why kill it? It did nothing to me.

[amber]

well I'd never wear leather rpants or eat bacon but for other reasons. I don't see how eating or wearing something is bad, when you're not the one doing the torturing. It's already been killed, why not eat it.
Because if YOU didn't buy it, and not care, maybe they wouldn't torture it. It's called making choices in your consumption that are responsible and humane. Your money talks, it tells companies "it's okay to torture animals, cause i will buy it anyway".

[dissention]

well I'd never wear leather rpants or eat bacon but for other reasons. I don't see how eating or wearing something is bad, when you're not the one doing the torturing. It's already been killed, why not eat it.

Well, they are alive :shrug: It is still killing a living thing - assuming the plant must be killed when harvested. AND - you seem to care enough for them when they are ripped out of the soild for logging, etc.

I think I mentioned this awhile back, but I had a friend that refused to eat ANYTHING unless it had fallen naturally from a tree. AND - he was not thin :laugh: :eek: :laugh:

OMG - just like Stevie!!!! and you thought her Q&A was useless :laugh:

Only the last link worked, and I guess I feel slightly more sorry for the chickens, but it's so hard for me to see the connections between live slaughtered feathery chicken and the crispy deep fried stuff served at KFC. If they served the chicken like the pictures on that site, I'd definitley refrain from buying it.

Well, they are alive :shrug: It is still killing a living thing - assuming the plant must be killed when harvested. AND - you seem to care enough for them when they are ripped out of the soild for logging, etc.

Ridiculous argument. Just appallingly ridiculous. To equate plucking a head of lettuce to killing an animal is absurd and you know it.

I think I mentioned this awhile back, but I had a friend that refused to eat ANYTHING unless it had fallen naturally from a tree. AND - he was not thin :laugh: :eek: :laugh:

:laugh:

Classicly lame... :shrug:

Fine, let's all go logging :wavey: or let's all go and dig up the green space in cities - or let's . . . .

But now you know. You can make a better decision now.
again: "Because if YOU didn't buy it, and not care, maybe they wouldn't torture it. It's called making choices in your consumption that are responsible and humane. Your money talks, it tells companies "it's okay to torture animals, cause i will buy it anyway"."

You should refrain from buying it if the idea of innocent animals being tortured repels you. :nod:

Ah now who is drawing the severer line - I think it is all life. But, I recognize that we have to kill it (usually) to eat it.

I can "see" feeling bad for a chicken, but seriously I go out of my way to kill most bugs. If I see a fly somewhere in my house, I could spend an hour trying to kill the danm thing. Bugs just shouldn't be allowed to live. And Mosquitos are worse. They carry diseases, there's no way I can see a mosquito and let it live.

Goodnight, dear. My IQ has dropped 12 points listening to that useless argument alone. :laugh:

We don't have to torture an animal to eat it. :shrug:

[estranged4life]

Once again, it is line drawing. I have seen animals slaughtered and have killed more than one out of mercy (which is the hardest thing to do IMO) - so I just am a little more hardened.


be heartless but once I slowed down to 2 MPH (If even that fast) cause a possum was crossing the road and I didnt want splat the lil' sucker so Billy Bob, John Bob & Bob Bob & family would come to scrape him up for their potluck "Roadkill stew", So what did this marsup-a-tard do, He walked right into the hubcap covers on the car and bounced off and went back into the direction it came from...I guess it wanted a closer look at the covers so it could decide if they were reasonable and buy some for it's own '96 Nissan Sentra, Who knows :shrug:

Kinda cool, But I hear a large pack of coyotes yelping at this moment...Must be in the same pasture where the Buffalo are.

Interestingly, almost all meat industries will fight to keep such footage from the public eye. They want everyone to think the meat just appears in the grocery store - again, having been there and seen it happen - it most certainly does not. The animal must be killed and all methods of that are inhumane to some.

This whole argument is almost pointless because I rarely eat KFC anyway. Do you think the popcorn chicken comes from the tortured chickens :laugh:

All of their chicken does. :shrug:

go to a slaughterhouse one time. Although most use the most humane way, it is still torture. I could be graphic, but will not :eek:

okay. I'll put off that cruise and hit the slaughterhouse.. :lol:
JK, i get your point.

[strandinthewind]

that's just not a good argument, and you know it. :shrug:

well, there is a paralell. I get that an animal can feel things as opposed to a plant, though some assert plants can feel as well. My point was it is all life and it takes a subjective line to draw distinctions. But, people rarely admit that and think well, if I eat fish, that is more humane than meat - then there are the veg. are better than all meat, then there is my crazy friend I mentioned earlier. It is all subjective. That is what I was trying to say.

[strandinthewind]

with four more - we could be the Slaughterhouse Five :eek:

ooooo :sorry: that was bad :laugh: :laugh:

try going to a beef packing plant, The like that are located throughout western Kansas (Everyone in my family had worked in those places...But me!!! My opinion on these beef packing plants is they are nuthing but ______ ________ ________!!!!!!)

Before you can be hired they hook a EKG (To monitor pulse rate, etc) to you and let you witness a calf being "humanely put down" to see how you would react...If you react normally they'll hire you in a heartbeat, If you cant handle it there's not job for ya in these companies (They do not want to hire someone who may have a PSYCHOTIC reaction to watching multiple deaths on the killing floor and go home and murder their loved ones.)

Yes, and I see a difference between a company that buys from suppliers who kill their livestock in non-violent manners and a company that buys from suppliers who torture their animals. If you don't, fine.

Anyone who eats KFC or buys Yum! products might as well just go out and torture their own chicken. Same goes for IAMS pet food.

I'm not going to sit here and say that I don't somehow support the abuse of animals by some company because we all do. But if I know whats going on, I'm going to stop myself from buying their food or products and I'm going to try to educate and have them get to know their meat. They live and breathe just like us and our pets. You wouldn't throw your dog into a vat of oil while it was alive, don't do it to your food. If you're going to eat it, make sure it didn't suffer. But I get sad and start to cry just by going into pet shops, so what do I know? :laugh:

Aww, so that's what's behind your scrappy exterior ya big softie :). I definitely identify with that, I hate pet stores. I want to take care of all of the little puppies myself when I see them.
