Popeye's spicy chicken is good stuff. Del Taco's bean burritos rock
too. There's also a chain called Lion's Choice that sells roast beef
sandwiches. Steak'n Shake Steakburgers and their chili.

About once every two years I'm starving and pressed for time, it's a
Wendy's cup of chili. Otherwise, the fast food chains would collapse
if they depended on ppl like me.

I hardly eat any fast food, but there's a Midwest sub chain
that I eat at every couple of months: Jimmy John's. They
have an Italianate sub that I like.

I can't claim to have a "favorite"; the best descriptor is "In default
when on a trip" and I usually use Subway even if their bread is too soft
and too sweet. I've been known to eat grilled chicken at MacDonald's
when I can't find a Subway.

There are "copycat" and "Secret Restaurant Recipes" for all 4 of
those items.

Tacos pan fried in shallow oil is a real taco style from Mexico.
It's usually made with shredded beef/macahaca, and then stuffed with
vegetbales or escabeche. So taco bells is not that different.

And taquitos are also a popular as botanas in Mexico. What isn't
Mexican are Taco Bell's tacos.

Big Mac: Two whole beef patties, 'special sauce' (Thousand Island dressing
would be my guess), lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun.

I'm not sure any of this qualifies as bona fide "fast food restaurant"
fare depending on your understanding of the meaning of that word. Some
people really mean "drive-through, national chain" when they say "fast
food".

Fast (and good):
Lee's Sandwiches (banh mi) (It's a chain, it's fast)
Cupid's chili dog

In Santa Ana, CA:
Fish taco - Taqueria El Amigo
Torta de Milanesa - Super Antojito's
Anything (gordita, huaraches, burrito, etc.) - El Rincon Chilango
Old World Deli (Costa Mesa) - Pastrami on rye

Purely "guilty":
McD Sausage McMuffin
In-And-Out Burger (frequently I feel a little queezy)

The wife adds:
El Pollo Loco's beans
Jack-in-the-Box Taco (she admits it's 50% nostalgia)

Almost a twin to my favorite BK Whopper: 1/4 pound beef, tomato, lettuce,
mayo, ketchup, pickles and onions on a toasted sesame seed bun. That and a
chocolate thick shake for lunch can leave me paralyzed for the rest of the
day.

Decades ago? Decades ago I loved a Whata-a-Burger. I first began
eating pickled jalapeños with a burger at a What-a-Burger in Del Rio,
Texas in the mid-70's. I worked there for a year one month.

They had chopped lettuce and I got it with mayo for some reason.
Nevertheless, I loved it dearly and ate three or four a week.

My favorite fast food will always be a hamburger.

Either a bacon ultimate cheesburger from Jack In The Box or

a Double meat Whopper with Bacon and Cheese from Burger King.

Either one of those is a killer and I don't eat one except once in a
very rare while, but in younger days they were my
go to fast food.

Whataburger is still my favorite fast food place. I love their
cheeseburgers with jalapenos, but if you want mayo, you have to ask for
it, since they come with mustard. Here in Louisiana you have to ask for
'my-nez'. :-)

Big Mac
Filet O Fish
Quarter Pounder
French Fries
Icy Cokes
Thick shakes
Sundaes and
Apple pies!

I like:
Popeye's red beans and rice and biscuits

Taco Bell bean burritos with hot sauce

Wendy's chili over a baked potato -- less fast food tasting of the
other options

Chick Fil A chicken biscuits and sandwiches

Sonic diet cherry limeades

Less than once a year: the fried chicken livers at Hartz (with cream
gravy to dunk them in, of course)

I also like Popeye's fried chicken.

(There's not a Hartz within 1000 miles of here, and the nearest
Popeye's is 75 miles away)

Somewhat more frequently, I like Wendy's "Jr. Deluxe Cheeseburger"
or "Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger", or a Little Caesar's pepperoni pizza.

Minor quibble: It's "Two ALL beef patties..."

I won a radio contest as a kid for saying that jingle in the
shortest amount of time.

I forget what I won. I know I got some Big Macs out of the deal and
something else I don't think I could have used as a kid.

I used to like Jack in the Box.

I haven't eaten at a JITB since those kids died from eating
undercooked E. Coli burgers there; what was that, 1993? The part
that ****ed me off was how arrogant and unrepentant they were about
it. The prosecutor should have filed *criminal* charges against the
company and ultimately put the whole corporation out of business.

A McDonalds Quarter Pounder With Cheese, Filet-O-Fish and a large order
of fries. That's for me alone. I have drinks at home. I eat the meal
rarely when my wife is out of town or gone somewhere. It's the perfect
no-mess meal for me and delicious *for me*. We both like the KFC breast
and wing combo meal with cole slaw. I like KFC macaroni and cheese too.

Steak n Shake Rocks! Guacamole burgers, 5 new steak franks,
cheesy and buttery Wisconsin burgers, and a new seasoning salt
on the tables that is excellent and you can buy a big shaker of it
for only $2.49. I'm waiting for the Sushi.

Steak'n Shake's breakfast offerings are as awful as their Steakburgers
are good. The only way I'll order fries there is at the counter, and
I tell them, "Straight out of the fryer." They have a very short

Subway's bread is nasty. They have one in the local WalMart, and it

I haven't eaten there since 94 when I got sick after eating there, but
was unsure where I picked it up. Two weeks later I ate there again.
Sick again. We've parted ways.

There used to be several in the area. I had my first taco at one in Folsom
PA (Delaware County) back in the sixties. I'm pretty sure it was the first
drive-through fast-food restaurant in the area as well.

The food was pretty awful, but there was some novelty value in it.
Jon

For me,
The "Sausage McMuffin with egg"
is the perfect breakfast....


I used to crave the fish at LongJohnSilvers.
Over time, the fish fillet has gotten thinner and thinner
but to make up for it, they've raised the prices.

They're advertising a "Fish Taco" for a buck.
I may have to try it.


As an aside;
Everyone seem to hve a "Dollar Menu" now....
and now,
It may be cheaper to eat "dollar" than to buy grocerys.

WAS!! the "perfect breakfast"!

The sausage/egg biscuit was my only McD's concession and weakness.
Unfortunately, both the biscuit and sausage have delined. Both are
alarmingly smaller and the sausage has become tasteless dreck, no
longer having the nice peppery spiced quality it once had. Add the
increased price and it's become another McDs rip-off/piece of crap.

So sad, but no surprise.

Nope. (somebody just posted the ingredients of the Whopper in the

Only the BK Hamburger and Chesseburger come with mustard by default.
