Subway-6 inch Italian bread with tuna salad, spinach, tomatoes, green peppers, cucumbers, and olives. No cheese, No toast, No dressing. ---

The Enchirito from Taco Bell. It’s not just an ordinary burrito, it’s part enchilada. ---

Toss up between Burger King Original Chicken Sandwich and the McDonalds Filet-O-Fish (the only bad thing about it is that it is too damned small, I want a double sized option. Same fish/bread/cheese/tartar sauce ratio, just bigger) ---

Local chain called Zantigo offers something hysterically good called the “Chilito” which is chili sauce and cheese wrapped up in a tortilla and heated. It is most excellent and number 1 with me. ---

> [@Elendil\_s\_Heir](#): > > Arby’s Beef ‘n’ Cheddar with lots and lots of that tangy Arby’s Sauce. Terrible for me, I know, and not exactly _haute cuisine_, but so help me, I love 'em. OUCH! You were _SO_ close. The correct answer is… Arby’s Beef ‘n’ Cheddar with lots and lots of **horsey** Sauce. ---

> [@Invisible\_Chimp](#): > > The Enchirito from Taco Bell. It’s not just an ordinary burrito, it’s part enchilada. This, but it’s gotta be the steak enchirito. For the breakfast option, McDonald’s steak, egg, and cheese bagel (which they don’t actually sell around here but apparently sell in other markets :mad: ). ---

That corporate decision made me give up their food forever. Admittedly, I haven’t ordered fries in an Arby’s since I started Weight Watchers a couple of years ago, but the Arby’s locations in Dallas offer your choice of curly fries, regular fries, or potato cakes (like big triangular tater tots). ---

mcdonald’s bacon egg and cheese biscuit, no contest. ---

McDonald’s fries. Runner-up: the Quarter Pounder with Cheese when they get it right (which they sadly often don’t these days.) Second runner-up: Chipotle burrito. I also love the ham, turkey and smokey cheddar sandwich from Port o’ Subs, but I haven’t had one in years since there’s no restaurant anywhere near where I live anymore. ---

It used to be a Wendy’s cheeseburger, plain. I’d put salt on it. But they changed everything. They’re all dried out now, and our closest Wendy’s closed down. Now it would be back to the Big Mac. Not exactly good, but I know exactly what I’m getting. Since I’m just getting fast food anyway, I’ll go with consistency. ---

My favorite is the Jack in the Box taco. 2 for $1. Yum! I only eat them maybe twice a year, since they are SO bad for me. ---

Taco Bell. Bean Burrito with no onions. A close runner up would be Del Taco’s bean and cheese burrito with green sauce. Honorable mention goes to Del Taco’s Spicy chicken quesadilla. ---

Rally’s Chicken tender strips with garlic-parmesan sauce. OMG sooooo good, and sooooo bad for you. Deep fried strips of chicken slathered with garlic-parmesan butter. I would be happy to eat them every day, and if I am executed in the future for anything, I believe that will be my last meal request. Best breakfast? McDonald’s steak, egg & cheese bagel, with grilled onions. Mmmmm. ---

I was crushed when I went into McD’s last week and realized they no longer have bacon and egg McGriddles. Early morning road trip and I was really looking forward to treating myself. For burgers - I love Harvey’s veggie burger with everything on it. Throw in a side of poutine and I’m in fast food heaven.
