Way OT: Favorite Fast Food

Submitted by GRBluefan on
The criteria is...if you could only eat at one fast food place for the rest of your life, which would it be? My top 5... 1.) McDonalds - menu variety, great breakfast, healthy options 2.) Wendy's - I am addicted to the Jr. Cheeseburger Deluxe, and find the Frosty fascinating 3.) Jimmy John's - I like their subs far and away more than any other chain (although Potbelly is also good). 4.) Taco Bell - would probably rank higher if not for the lack of a diverse menu. Why can't they add a darn breakfast burrito? 5.) KFC - One word...Sides! Okay everyone...help me broaden my horizons!!!

As of late it's been Taco Bell and Quiznos.. Though Wendy's is always a favorite as McDonalds has fallen out of my favor. Never tried KFC personally. Good choice?

as soon as I posted that how long it would take someone to ask that...the post almost begs the question! I am not the girl in the picture (I just find that picture awesome on many levels)... I am approximately 5'8'' and 135 lbs, so way on the opposite end of the spectrum. I am also reading a Michigan football blog, so I clearly have a penis.

It's semi-fast food, but a Culver's Bacon Butterburger Deluxe Basket is pretty fantastic. They've got a "drive through" so it counts. KFC original recipe is also way up there.

I'm a little northeast of the Breton/Burton intersection... Anyway, yeah, that Culver's is great. I always tell myself I'm going to try one of the Concrete Mixer shakes, but I've never had room for one after a butterburger.

He's saying he would do almost anything to get an In-N-Out. Including punch a toddler in the face. At least that's the way I read it. I'd puree/dice/chop/blend a kitten to get them to open a Sonic by me.

on Chick-fil-A. Does Five Guys burgers count as fast food? No drive thru, but they do serve burgers and fries which is a de facto qualification. Truly awesome burgers. Don't know if there are any in Michigan or not. They have made it to Indianapolis and originated in the DC/Virginia area.

I haven't seen any Five Guys in Michigan. The wife is from South Carolina so I am obsessive with Chick-fil-A when we go down there. It sucks that Michigan doesn't have Chick-fil-A. I looked into franchising one here in GR and they are freaking expensive and intense to operate. You have to go through Chick-fil-A University or something insane.

There's one down Telegraph on 12 mile in Southfield... I just discovered it on the way to Ann Arbor, it's amazing. You can always google "five guys" and your city to find the closest ones. This works for me whenever I see a Sonic commercial and am disappointed when there's like 2 in Michigan and none near where I live...

As soon as I saw the title to this forum I thought of Chick Fil A and 5 Guys. While 5 guys isn't a typical "fast food" place, I would definitely put them at a place between "fast food" and "sit down" restaurant. I think there's one on the Oakland University campus, if i'm not mistaken.

I don't understand why Jimmy John's is do popular. Yeah, it's better than Subway, but that's not saying much. It's so ordinary...and they use way too much lettuce.

1. Sonic / Double cheese burger with bacon 2. Culvers / Bacon Butterburger basket is excellent 3. Chick Fil A / Best chicken sandwiches anywhere 4. Wendy's / Great Burgers, ok fries 5. McDonald's / No red meat from there, only fries and nuggets, best fries around
