*bonus question Worst fast food item : the chicken sliders at white castle

Thankfully I don't eat enough fast food to be qualified to play but like I learned from my creepy friend from san jose I was compelled to post just for the sake of posting, lulz

@Eltriste - I never tried the chicken at White Castle, but it sounds terrible. It would be more interesting if they made them like the burgers - ground up chicken pressed into squares with little holes in them and fried on the grill. Now THAT I would try.

I fuckin LOVE the regular sliders with cheese and extra ketchup. And even though the onion rings aren't very good compared to other places, they somehow go perfectly with the White Castle burgers. I like the clam strips too.

“Man, you eat waaaay too much fast food.”

When on the road I am limited. Would eat something bad then spend the next hour working it off in the hotel pool or gym!!!!

Fun fact - Burger King “chicken” nuggets are made out of starfish.

Panda Express “pork” is really cat (Mamisan told me so).

And the apple juice served at San Jose Public library is laced with Clorox but they still can’t kill off SJG.

I no longer eat most of this stuff I'm hoping to not have a heart attack anytime soon, but I have to admit a weakness for White Castle cheeseburgers, good thing the nearest White Castle store to my home is 862.6 miles away, I love pizza but never get pizza from a chain store. My nomination for worst would be Chik-a-fila not because I've ever eaten their food, rather because they build their stores in such a way that whenever you need to go past them at lunch time, their Drive-Thru spills out and causes a traffic jam where ever they are located.

What’s with these comments about not eating fast food? There are several cartoons I haven’t watched in years that I still have an opinion on 😁

@shailynn, McDonalds uses some disputing shit called pink slime in their chicken nuggets y'all can google it.

I don't eat garbage so there is no such thing as "best" fast food.

Change my fries answer to Dick’s in the Seattle area. Sounds kind of gay. It it’s true they got great fries

I don't eat enough fast food to declare a best, but the worst is, by far, Five Guys. Completely overrated. The fries are soggy with grease and way too much salt. The burgers are plain crap. KFC always seems to have soggy skins, at every location. Papa John's quality has turned to crap in the past few years.

Chick-Fil-A and Culver's seem to have consistently better quality.

@muddy: when I was on summer break from college in the 80s, I made those fries!

^ 80s??? I was in the 3rd grade!!!!!

I’m sure you made those fries with love ❤️

Best tasting unique menu item: (Examples: Arbys Italian Slider or Taco Bell Nachos Bell-Grande) Wendy's bacon cheddar mushroom melt (specialty item, not on the regular menu year round, but should be)

Best pizza (what type): Papa Gino's hamburger and onion

Worst overall fast-food joint: McDonald's. Only the fries are good.

@shailynn/muddy: those dick's fries were kind of amazing. Every week or so, a truck would drop off a couple of 100 pound bags of raw unpeeled potatoes, and we'd shift them into the back room. We would take a bunch of these dirty potatoes out, and drop them into a sink of water to rinse and drain. Then, they would go into a hand cutter... like an aluminum can crusher with a lever and grate on one end. We didn't peel them, just shredded them into fry shape. Then, they'd sit in a sink of water for a while, drain, repeat, and then drop into a 3rd sink to dry and wait for the fryer. The fry kettles were pretty much standard, but the oil was beef tallow. Then, fry until they get light brown and a broken fry has a white ring inside, pull, yell "HOT FRIES", and dump into the warming bin where you would invariably burn your forearm on the grates covering the warming lights. Salt, and serve. I don't know what other fast food places do for fries, but these seemed pretty retro and simple at the time.

In August, a 1/4 full bag of potatoes in that back room could get pretty funky. Not a smell that you forget!

It should be noted, In n Out has awful fries.

nicespice, you know I respect your wisdom, but you're objectively wrong about Arby's curly fries... those are nasty.

Meanwhile, that Popeye's chicken sandwich is indeed quite tasty. Zaxby's also a contender.

I have a favorite Taco Truck.

BUt for chain fast food, Taco Bell is good.

Jack in the Box is good, good coffee.

Carl's Jr has some premium stuff on the menu, but it is way too expensive.

I had sold my jar of coins to my favorite Taco Bell, so that they could make change.

Just two days ago I discovered that I had a big can with about $30 in pennies. I am using these now to make exact change for the taco truck.

SJG

Lol, I bet the taco truck loves being paid in pennies by a vagrant, so when someone buys something that costs $6.50 and pays with a Hamilton their change is 350 pennies which I'm sure they also love!

I bet the people in OH love it when an unemployed night saint with his asshole sewn shut climbs out from under his rock for his daily regurgitation.

SJG

Hey creepo, my F2F life is private. You know nothing about it. What you have demonstrated in times past is that you like giving yourself a concussion by running into my privacy wall. I maintain a 2000' dead zone in front of my privacy wall. Nothing alive is in there. Siege scaffolds get burnt down. Corpses and Zombies get incinerated. Creeps are crucified in the name of Jesus!

^ and some creeps get their assholes sewn shut!

You should know, you always act like you're constipated, now we know why, lulz

TheeOSU i think he only wears a plug sometimes. Hope you are doing alright all things considered, after that sewing he just gave you!

I don't each much fast food anymore. The older I get the harder it is to keep off the weight and manage other health considerations. But the rare times that I indulge, it is with one of the few named below:

Best burger: Five Guys (loaded with mushrooms, pickles and tomatoes - nice)

Best fries: Arby's curly fries

Best fish sandwich: Subway tuna sub (made with double meat and a run through the garden)

Best chicken nuggets: Wendy's

Best dipping sauce for nuggets (what type): Toss-up - no standouts that I've found

Best chicken sandwich: Popeye

Best breakfast sandwich (which type): None - I can't eat the shit those places call a breakfast sandwich after so many years of getting fresh to order Sausage, Egg and cheese on a toasted hard roll at my old deli spots up north.

Best taco (what type): None.

Best chicken (bone-in): Golden Corral (maybe not traditional fast food, but best I've had not cooked in my own house. Popeye's and KFC are both crap.

Best tasting unique menu item: Arby's buffalo chicken sandwich. Unlike most chain joint buffalo chicken, it actually has a little heat. Add some of those seasoned curly fries and it's one of my guilty pleasures, which I can't indulge often

Best pizza (what type): None. I can't eat chain joint pizza anymore.

Worst overall fast-food joint: Tossup - there are several. There are only a handful I will visit anymore.

My #1 favorite burger is Smashburger's truffle mushroom swiss. Not sure if they offer it at all locations because they tailor their burger toppings according to local preferences.

—>“nicespice, you know I respect your wisdom, but you're objectively wrong about Arby's curly fries... those are nasty.

I’ve never been to Zaxby’s but I’ve heard good things about it. Next time I’m in Texas, I’ll have to try it out.

And whaaaa, what do you have against seasoned salt? 😫

Best burger: Culver's Double Butter Burger

Best fries: Rally's

Best fish sandwich: Frisch's Fish Sandwhich

Best chicken nuggets: not a fan of chicken nuggets but I do like Raisin Cain's chicken tenders.

Best chicken (bone-in): Popeye's

Best tasting unique menu item: Arby's Jalapeño Bacon Ranch Chicken Wrap

Best pizza (what type): Jet's Super Special

Worst overall fast-food joint: Taco Bell

Best burger: I really like the Jack in the Box bacon ultimate cheeseburger (no mayo)

Best fries: Arby's curly fries and it ain't close

Best fish sandwich: only ever had a McD's filet o fish, so I guess I'll have to go with that (no sauce whatever that stuff is)

Best chicken nuggets: McDonald's...again, haven't really had them anywhere else

Best dipping sauce for nuggets: when I was a kid I got sweet n sour, but I have to believe Carl's Jr's buffalo sauce would be delicious

Best breakfast sandwich: hmmm, Jack in the Box ultimate breakfast sandwich, although Panera has some good stuff, too.

Best chicken (bone-in): a few months ago I'd have said KFC but I was recently introduced to Popeye's and I'm fully converted. Love that chicken at Popeyes!

Best tasting unique menu item: Rubio's Fresh Mexican Grill - Baja grilled chicken burrito, no guac. I don't know what they put in that thing, but that was like crack. Sofa king good. Sadly, it's been off the menu for a few years now.

Best pizza: for fast food pizza, I am gonna have to go with Peyton, Shaq, and Papa John. I dig the single pepper they toss in the box.

Worst overall fast food joint: not because of the food, only because I refuse to wait in a drive thru like for 30+ minutes - In N Out or Raising Cane's (but I REALLY want to try this)

Oh best chicken sandwich: Carl's Jr - whatever the one is with chicken, bacon, and swiss. No mayo but maybe some ranch on it? Lettuce, tomato, and then get some buffalo sauce. Mmmmmmm.

I avoid fast food as much as possible for health reasons. But it’s difficult to never eat it. So I’d go with an Arby’s roast beef sandwich, Five Guys fries, and… not much else.

As far as “best” fast food, I begrudge no one their sensual enjoyments. But it’s like asking me to pick the hottest stripper among a bunch of obese ones with crooked teeth and bad body odor. To me, there is no actual best.
