03.13.13 | culvers is dece but nowhere near the best |

03.13.13 | I went to a place called "The Pita Pit" the other day and it was really damn good. Wendy's chili is great for the price and it's hard to top a "McManly" from McDonalds. |
jmnewcomer18
03.13.13 | Yeah the chilli is the best thing wendys has to offer, Mcdonalds Chicken selects were the best hting on the menu til they were taken off. |
MikeC26
03.13.13 | You think? Idk man, they always seemed overpriced to me. I can go to the deli right down the street and get twice as
much for the same price. They're probably better too. I like their angus burgers a lot though.
And McChickens...omfg those mcchickens... |

this happened to Carl's Jr around 2005 I want to say. before that they had the best fries ever. no one seems to remember them but they were like a better version of McDonald's fries. such a bummer when they moved to the healthy cut bullshit. im trying to kill myself with food here give me some fucking good fries.
"tough question, lotta good options, but i think i have to go with 3 Michelin star establishment The French Laundry"
TFL is an experience to be sure if youre into fine dining. I have been there twice now and the food is excellent but it's really the service and presentation youre paying for. I can't imagine being a regular as many folks are or traveling thousands of miles to go. it's really something to do one time and never again and likely something to brag about later rather than really enjoy. a lot of people go just to not be around low class people tbh. if you ever have a free 3 grand and truly have a passion for fine dining it's for you.

04.25.23 | in n out got the price but the flavor is bilge,
mediocre burger and cardboard fries that people get all up for "animal style" b/c tasteless fries are better with the blandest carmo'd onions (shit tastes like they scraped it off a stale Thomas everything bagel), the most canned-cheese cheese you can imagine, and a thousand island that takes over the entire palette because at least that has some semblance of flavor

KFC, Taco Bell and Raising Cains get honorable mentions. I also don't eat ground beef so my choices are strictly for the chicken options and fries. Popeyes got the best fries and chicken!
Popeyes I get the 2 piece both breasts spicy with those fire Cajun fries! Hawaiian Bros I bounce between the 3 chicken meals cuz they're all heat. Hardee's I get the Charbroiled Chicken Sandwich with curly fries. Love curly fries and that might be my favorite chicken sandwich. Chic-Fil-a I get the chicken club with the honey chipotle bbq sauce which is amazing sauce. And Wendy's it's the spicy chicken sandwich/ spicy nuggets all day.
Love quesadillas at taco bell but that's all I get there so I left them out. KFC is awesome but there's only room for one chicken joint |

yeah besides subway (decently healthy depending on your order), dunkin (cause coffee + broken mobile rewards system), and mcdonalds (still seemingly the cheapest option)... i've basically cut out fast food solely because of the pricing. spending like $15 on a burger and a drink at most of these places is a fucking rip off, may as well go to an actual restaurant at that rate |
