Favorite? None. That doesn’t mean I don’t eat at Mickey D’s. I do. Often. But I don’t eat fast food because it’s good, I eat it because it’s fast. And maybe cheap. ---

I invented a time machine. It’s sole function is to reach back to pre-90s McDonalds and bring me back an order of McD’s fries made with beef tallow. ---

Not a national chain but everywhere around Chicago, Portillo’s Italian Beef, wet and hot. Just as good as Al’s or Mr. Beef’s, IMHO. ---

> [@silenus](#): > > See, that would have made my list but for the fact that I have refused to set foot in an Arby’s since they dumped their regular fries for those gawd-awful curly fries. That corporate decision made me give up their food forever. Interesting. The curly fries are the only item on Arby’s menu that I like. If it weren’t for that, I’d never go in there. ---

As for my favorite fast food item, a simple Taco Bell crunchy taco, drowned in their hot sauce (3 packets). Now that I think about it, it’s probably the hot sauce that I like most; the taco is merely the delivery system. ---

Wendy’s baked potato with cheese and broccoli. I"m not a burger and fries kinda girl. Without the cheese sauce, it’s just a potato with broccoli. That’s damned close to being real food, right there. ---
