Wendy’s is much better, in terms of quality, than McDonald’s. I just love their grilled chicken sandwiches. McDonald’s doesn’t offer anything other than burgers unless you count their puzzling McShakers…?? What soon-to-be-unemployed marketing genius thought THAT one up?
McDonald’s worst corporate move, IMO, was to change their french fries oil. The fries were much better before, crispy and salty, when they used old fashioned lard. They switched to cooking oil, amazingly, because it is HEALTHIER. NEWS FLASH TO MCDONALD’S: Someone ordering a super-sized fries doesn’t give a rat’s gonads about nutrition!! Give me taste!
I don’t know what Wendy’s ya’ll are eating at, but down here they taste great. Wonderful. Even McD’s is tolerable. BK is fine, if you like Fried Burger. Arby’s I like. Chickfila i’m not fond of (not enough) but I admire the balls it takes to say to the corporate PC types “Fuck you, we make enough money the other 6 days of the week. I’m going to excercise my freedom of religion and be off one day of the week.”
Subway? People eat there? Egads, they don’t make sandwitches, they make snacks. Fucking waste of time.
(okay… two uses of F word, I think that’s the quota.)
McDonalds, Burger King, and Wendys ALL SUCK. They ALL do. And so does Dairy Queen.
That is, as long as we’re talking about their idea of lunch and dinner.
Breakfast though, that’s different. While I have no liking for McDonald’s volcanic coffee, those McMuffins are great, and the sausage actually tastes good, unlike their burger meat. Where you can get the biscuits and gravy type deal, that’s good too. Burger King is even better, with the breakfast croissant-wiches and the french toast stix. Mmmm… french toast stix…
As for Dairy Queen, is there anyone on the freaking planet who goes there to eat a meal? It’s common knowledge that the only thing they can get right is deserts. They might as well turn into a desert and ice-cream-cake specialty chain and drop this whole “fast food” pretense. Mmmm… peanut buster parfait…
Wendy’s burgers here aren’t bad… I haven’t been there in awhile though and the ONLY way you get me in a Rotten Ronnies (aka Chew and Spew aka McD’s) is if I’m starving and its the quickest closest place. DQ makes wonderful desserts and I like their burgers… their onion rings are the best though and the ONLY place to eat fries is New York Fries with vinegar and seasoning salt none of that ketchup junk (thats only good for drowning the Rotten Ronny fries)
Yes people eat there I usually do myself when here is one nearby. SNACKS? What Subway are you going to? Most of the time a 6" sub fills me up.
Where I usually eat though is Edo Japan one of those places where they cook the food in front of you. The Terriyaki Chicken is usually great.
Subway is a sandwich that’s been “dragged through the garden.” Your choice of meat is in there, somewhere.
And in a standard walk-in setting you’re being asked along the way “Would you like…?” suggests that a Subway is potentially the closest thing to your way.
Togo’s or Subway, Togo’s or Subway…Hhhmm, Togos actually puts meat on their meat based sandwichs, so I think I’ll go there.
Actually, if you want a good sandwich the only place to go is a proper deli. There is one here next to my apt complex called Byrnes that I love.
As for Fast Food joints…Chez Mac sucks of late (Cardboard passed as beef, and fries so limp they can be used as spaghetti), Burger Death is just McD’s with a gimmick. Wendy’s I like, but there aren’t any near here. Jack in the Box is usually good, but the only one near me has problems with orders spoken in english. In and Out Rules!!! Arby’s and Taco Hell both taste good, but afterwards I start getting bored counting the tiles in the restroom.
my “beef” with subway. I like meat on my sandwitches. I don’t like a salad in a hoagie/sub bun. Their training manuals call for stuffing as much lettuce as you can on a customers sandwitch to keep costs down. I usually tell them to leave it off, just to tick em off.
The only sandwitch worth eating there is the meatball sub. That’s it. And the fact I hate that brownmaltedbatteryacid they call pepsi… What’s the point of going?
We have a perfectly good deli here called Frisco deli. Local Place. They have a combo, which sends veggie lovers screaming in horror. Yum.
My order takes only about two seconds to be spoken. Hell, I even say it in the order that they get the materials just to speed up the process ever so slightly.
“White, footlong, meatball. Triangle cheese on bottom, extra sauce, lots of parmesean.”
