Fast food. Yay or Neigh

Guitar Discussion Forum - The Fret

I used to like to go to a burger joint that started out in the east end of Toronto called 'Licks'. There's a similar family owned business out where I live now that makes a decent 'Home Burger'. We'll have that every now and then.

Edit: Fretter warning... don't google 'Licks' I made that mistake one day at work before when a co-worker told me I could print off an online burger coupon...

Here's the burger link if you're interested

There are many fast food joints out there.... Whats your favorite?




(:master: Subway rules!:pancake: )


None of them!!!
Living away from home in a camper for a year, trying to eat right, and gaining 15 lbs. from eating this crap will make you realize there is no favorite...........just the same junk packaged differently.
(Rant over........please continue.):pancake:

Being away from home as you are, or in sales adds up to pounds real quick. Don't want to come home twice the man you use to be.
 
i've now had two dear friends suffer from massive heart attacks in the last 60 days. one died. one is recovering from being out for several minutes before they got him resuscitated.

one 58, one 60. the only fast food place we eat at is subway.

sorry if that's harsh, but i'm feeling mortality in a big ole way this week.

if i get the munchies, i eat a salad.
 
Add me to the list that does not eat fast food. I think it's been over 10 years since I've stepped foot in a McDonalds or Burger King. BaJa Fresh is as close as I'll come to fast food just because I love their fish tacos once or twice a year.
 
We rarely visit fast food places. Maybe subway or Quizmos once in a while and I order healthy as possible when there. Taco Del Mar for a fish burrito once in a while.
 
Being a vegetarian (gasp!) means that most fast food restaurants are out. Subway and the occasional veggie burger from Burger King are my only options.
 
I freakin love Chic-Fil-A

but otherwise I don't eat out much - I'm too good of a cook :P
 
Baja Fresh is OK, Chipotle is pretty good too.

Edit: Sonic's food is not bad, and I like their drinks.
 
not a big fan of the fast food....every once in awhile i'll get some wendy's chili (with 4 or 5 of their hot sauce packets)....

I use to live with a vegetarian, but I couldn't do it. I tried it once and made it until Noon before I had to throw in the towel. Went right out and killed a cow.

However, a tip of the hat to you.

There's a fish place close to my work with fish tacos to die for.Sumi:D

Shoot, I can't remember the name of da-kine soul food burrito "We roll the fatties" type place we went to while there. I think it had a "V" in the name and was near one of the turn arounds on the way out to Phil's trails. Do you mean that place? Next time I go to Bend, I have to call or email you to meet.
 
surely some of you guys have better sub shops in your town than subway..! :thwap: l

i have to agree....subway sucks....we have a sub shop called firehouse subs....it rocks! fresh sliced high quality meats and cheeses....buns are toasted and the meat and cheese is steamed....so you get a toasty sub roll....hot and melted meat and cheese with crisp cold veggies....oh man i'm getting hungry.... :drool:

Absolutely! If you ever come to Ketchum/Sun Valley, you have to go to Johnny G's Subshack. Excellent! and other than the white sub bread that he will "scoop" to reduce carbs if you ask, it is NOT junk food, at least the way I order. :AOK:
 
I live in a little town with slightly less than 3,000 people. The only chains we have in town are Burger King and Subway. There's an A&W about six miles away. A&W's food is better than the vast majority of chains and of course their root beer rules. Nevertheless, I don't have the spare $$ nor the stomach to eat out at fast food places very often. If I lived closer to my favorite Chinese place in Green Bay, my dinner of hot and sour soup and a couple of egg rolls would be my idea of fast food.

Instead of going out to a fast food place a few times, I'd rather save my $$ and go out for a nice steak someplace or the aforementioned Chinese.

I don't think thier subs are particularly great, but what is a huge turnoff about subway around here for me is:

A. Thier workers don't pronounce words and expect me to know what my options are

Them: "whaaa brehhh"
Me: "uhh bread?"
Them: "yeh"
Me: "uhhh what are the options?"
Them: "blah blah blah blah and blah"

I usually have to ask them 5 times before I choose the first word I actually hear

B. The people behind me get frustrated with me when I do that. I'm sorry but I can't freakin hear the guys...

C. They get all judgemental when I put peppers on everything. I've had a few "are you serious?" - "yeah - put it on my damn sandwhich and give it to me!"
 
A clear yay! I love Burger King and I love Turkish Kebap and Falafel.
