…and no Carl’s Jr? I happened to have one of their burgers in Tulsa the other day and was reminded how much I miss those artery-clogging things. ---

Why isn’t Carl’s Jr on the list? I refuse to select Hardees. ---

Just did a quick check. The nearest Carls Jr. to me is 926 miles. The nearest Panda Express is 27 miles. (who knew?) Anyway, not sure I’d classify it as fast food by looking at the website. mmm ---

I generally don’t eat fast food. When I want something fast, I generally go to Panera or Chipotle - neither made your list. ---

I’ve always been a McDonald’s girl. ETA: Except for actually eating there, I suppose… I haven’t been in over a year. ---

Burger King’s food is much tastier than McDonald’s, IMHO, but at least around here, all the McDonald’s are staffed (for the most part) by friendly people and the facilities are clean and often newly renovated, while the Burger Kings are empty sad places of a bygone era, and peopled by dirty, surly people serving food to an empty room that hasn’t been changed since 1994. ---

> [@Mean\_Mr.Mustard](#): > > The nearest Panda Express is 27 miles. (who knew?) Anyway, not sure I’d classify it as fast food by looking at the website. Oh, it’s definitely fast food. You grab a tray, cafeteria-style, and end up paying a grand total of something like $6 for orange chicken and some rice. It’s like one of those $1 Chinese places you see on every corner, or at least _saw_ on every corner when I lived in CA, except it’s part of a franchise. I just checked out their website and had a good laugh. Did their logo always say “Gourmet Chinese Food”? That’s funny. ---

I wish I lived in a place where I could get, in one small area: Long John Silver’s chicken planks In-N-Out Animal Fries and Animal-Style burgers Arby’s Beef-N-Cheese Sonic Drinks and cheese tots I’d be even fatter than I am. Joe ---
