Actually McDs makes a decent salad, but yeah, the fish sandwich. I would never go to KFC if it weren’t for the chicken pot pies. And Red Lobster for the biscuits. Walmart has a couple of nostrums we want for about half the price of other stores, and they sometimes have men’s shoe in a size 14, but otherwise nope. We hardly ever shop at Trader Joes anymore since they discontinued their Mojito Sauce. (Pissed us off, it did.) ---

I don’t go to the local Panda Express because they don’t have [Eggplant Tofu](https://www.pandaexpress.com/menu/entrees/eggplant-tofu). ---

I wouldn’t go to burger king if they stopped selling whoppers. Personally I consider the filet o fish one of the least impressive sandwiches on the mcdonalds menu. The big mac, quarter pounder, double cheeseburger, even regular hamburgers are better. There I said it. ---

> [@Alpha\_Twit](#): > > I go to my local McDonald’s for the iced tea and very little else. > > I don’t know if this is a national trend or not but my local easily has the best drive-thru iced tea in town. Fresh, cheaper than most, not excessively iced and just a bit stronger than most people might prefer. Too many places has switched over to the bag-in-box synthe-brew that somehow manages to taste both flat and caustic. And that’s before they load it down with nasty fake fruit flavor and enough artificial sweetener to give me a headache just from the smell of it. this is so true. I go to one McDonalds that is close to my house and 99.9 percent of the time they have awesome fresh brewed iced tea. I stop there every morning for my tea fix. They recently decided for some reason to not have tea when I came though and the next morning gave me my order for free because they knew I was upset. (I didn’t have time to go anywhere else so didn’t have any thing to eat or drink until lunch.) ---

Popeye’s has much better chicken, but the KFC pot pies (when they have them) are pretty good. I’d never go to Fort Worth without having a meeting there. Now no more meeting, no more Fort Worth. ---

You may be right, but when you consider the scarcity of a decent fish sandwich _anywhere_ (at least around here), you’ll have to allow our fondness for theirs.
