Taco Bell crispy tacos with mild sauce are by far my favorite fast food
sin.

It's been over a year since I've indulged. :-)

several small chains here in the san gabriel valley. for burgers it's
T-Burger...i usually indulge in the kids burger meal (not on the menu
board) that comes with a small burger, fries, & a 16 oz drink for
around $4.99. the other fave is Taco Nazo, another small chain that
makes "killer fish taco's". for meat taco's its El Gallo Grillo,
(very loosely translated is the Screaming Rooster). the special is
three full sized tacos (not the tiny 3 inch tortillas) with meat of
your choice, rice & beans for $6.99, topped off which a 32 oz size
jamaica (freshly brewed hibiscis (sp?) flowersbut i don't believe
it''s the usualy plant found in back yards).

Ah yes. I used to eat those. Also egg mcmuffins--I was going to
say sausage, but I actually forget. I haven't had either for
years though, with the egg being more recent. I really hope I
don't start craving one or the other or both because of this thread!

I think it is the hibiscus plant you see everywhere. They sell the
dried flowers in the markets around here -- look on the rack of spices/
herbs in cellophane bags. Make a tea from the flowers, add sugar,
chill. Or, as you and I do, just get a huge cup of it at your nearest
taco stand. I think of it as the Hawaiian punch of Southern
California. -aem

For me it's the double cheese burger on their dollar menu, made as is. I
used to get two of the single cheeseburgers till the double came along.
I like the Quarter Pounder just fine, but there's something about that
simple little burger that's irresistible to me. Well, almost
irresistible. I gave 'em up ages ago -- I like them, they don't like me.

Whataburger is my fave. I love their chicken strips, but if I want a
burger, I will take a #2 with cheese and a Diet Coke. I have to cut
back somewhere. :-P

It's one of those, 'For a Limited Time Only," things, but if you ask
nice, they'll usually make one for you.

Without the cheese. 'Nasty' doesn't even begin to describe that crap. I get

The only problem with the Hardee's Thickburgers is that they cook them
to death.
At Steak'n Shake, they will grill them med rare if you want, but the
size of the patty has gotten absurdly small. The only good way to get
SnS fries is to sit at the counter, and tell them you want fries
straight out of the fryer. They are great for the first few minutes,
but they go downhill amazingly fast, and old SnS fries are very
unappealing. One nice thing is they have a half off drinks happy
hour, M-F 2pm-4pm.

I like Del Taco. Teir bean burritos are great, and the price is too.
Popeye's is good stuff too, but I only go there with coupons because
their regular prices are so high. The one by me accepts Church's
coupons.

Oh, yeah, especially if you squeeze the lime over your ice and eat
that good snowy ice after the limeade is gone.

I love:

Taco Bell bean burritos with hot sauce
Wendy's Frosty with french fries to dip
Popeye's red beans and rice and biscuits
Not a love, exactly, but Wendy's chili over a baked potato with some
sour cream and hot sauce is satisfying when your only choice is fast

For me it's Wendy's french fries. They have to be cooked j u s t r i g h t
and they don't seem to be able to do that often, so I always get
disappointed when I decide to indulge. That's ok because the bad batches
will win out and I'll never want them again. Hopefully soon. But I still
crave the perfectly deep fried Wendy's french fry.

Of all the fastfood fries, I like BK. They coat them with rice flour,
and it crisps so nicely. Maybe Wendy's does too. We don't currently
have Wendy's in StL, though they have one planned out near Michael's
house. The worst are those crinkle cot things. What was it that
Steve said about the 1960s?

Oh! Is that what BK did to ruin its French fries?! I have not
been back since they did that.
