The best fast food restaurant no one talks about

What say you?  I just saw a commercial for Popeyes and it kinda made me want to throw up. Fried chicken is really delicious but it's disgusting. I can eat it maybe once every two years.

I'm voting LJS here all the way, btw. Especially if they have the pirate hats. I wish they still had the old school architecture.

Arby's doesn't make me feel like complete dogshit as some places can. So I'll go with THE MEATS!

You voted for write in and not Arby's but wrote in Arby's?

Thanks, Gomer.

Culver's is real solid. They make a mean milkshake.

I ate White Castle after we beat Iowa in the BTCG. White Castle is for winners.

I know Loose's answer. He drives to Indiana for Popeye's.

Culver's is a solid nomination. I also forgot Steak n Shake.

Never had Zaxby's.

Should I edit and add the above plus Sbarro?

Sbarro?



Do you drink Hopslam straight out of the can too?

Spent many a drunken night in that WC. My friend who is a HS teacher intervened in a ghetto-ish Indy HS verbal catfight to absolutely undress a bully and tell her what human trash she was. Fucking hysterical. Even better that he rolls about 5'7, 140 and I am holding him back.

This is maybe the most bipolar comment on this board yet. I love it but it's gross.

Bipolar but honestly I just lost a lot of respect for you as a man if you don't know exactly what I mean.

Also: Fazzoli's. Nothing beats fast-food Eye-talian.

I used to love Fazoli's when I was in college but they're all but gone from MI. I don't think there are any in the metro D area any longer. Those unlimited buttery breadsticks. Yum.

I'm not here for respect. I'm here for tits and ass.

Y'all about to be so jealous - there is a Fazoili's AND Popeye's close enough to me.

I don't really eat much fast food, doe.

At this very moment, I'm trying to think how much money you would have to pay me to eat a Popeye's value meal. I would say probably north of $400.

It has its place, though. Like when you're stuck at Hartsfield on a Thursday night taking an Uber home from the airport when you land back home and don't have time to make it to Chick Fil A.

I was kidding. I would have nominated Hot-n-Now, but I'm not sure how many restaurants they even have these days. Granted, they probably used horse meat, but it was cheap and fast and not the worst tasting burger I'd ever had.

HOLY FUCK - just remembered this place.

GPS coordinates please. I'm hungry.

Fuck. I forgot Jack in the Box. Del Taco. Whataburger. In n Out (this is top 3 lock).

In-n-Out, yes, but Del Taco? That's just fast heartburn and squirts.

I'm adding A&W but only for the root beer.

Fact checking here, the statement that no one talks about In-n-Out is false.

Good point. But it's not very common. Especially in the nordicland where most of us reside.

To be fair, it's a regional franchise, not national.

It is really good, though. Haven't been out to AZ/NV/CA in a few years other than the RB trip but I do try to hit it when I am out there.

OG Halo Burger

About the only fast food I ever get a crave for anymore is Taco Bell, and about the only thing on the menu I'll ever order is their bean burrito.

I think the last fast food I had was Kentucky Fried Chicken, there was a bucket of it at a super bowl party. I thought it was terrible.

Popeye's has the best chicken and it's not even close.   I consider myself somewhat of a national expert on fast food based on 2008--2012.   For that 4-5 years I was on the road with one of my sons for 3 weeks or more a month and we basically existed on fast food.
So unlike the amateurs that "watch some film" on HS players and think they see things highly paid coaches miss the following is based on real experience.

Best overall menu:
1) Carl's Jr/Hardees
2) Jack in the Box
3) Steak N Shake

Best Chicken:
1) Popeyes
2) Church's
3) Lee's Famous
4) Bojangles
5) KFC

Best Fish:
1) Culvers
2) SOME Long John Silvers, for example the one in North Platte, NE is good.   The one in Huntington Beach, CA sucks.
3) CaptainD's

Mexican:
Del Taco, Taco Time, Taco Bell, Taco John's - I don't care much for any of them.

Most Overrated:
1) In and Out - it's ok but jesus people get a hold of yourselves.

2) Whattaburger
3) ChickaFila


McDonald's, Burger King, Wendy's etc were hit only when you were in BFE and there were no other choices.

Fuck I forgot all about Rally's/Checkers. - I liked them as a break from some of the others but their food wears on you quickly.

And Arbys wasn't mentioned because although my sons like them the only thing on their menu I could eat was the Reuben and that was pretty dicey.

32X32
5'10"
172 lbs
RHR = 42 bpm
MP = 118/72 mm/hg
VO2max probably around 62 ml/kg/min

And so we didn't die we tried to hit Subway a fair amount and load subs with mass veggies.

Subway
Jimmy John's

On the sub chains....

I forgot about Subway, Subway would be the most recent fast food I've had and sometimes I crave it.

Popeyes is awesome. Best fast food chicken around.
