Fast Food

[Mr. Lothario]

     That sucks, Typhy. Hopefully you'll get the chance to try it sometime. Their ingredients are higher-quality than Subway's, too (at least based on the last time I had Subway, which is several years ago now. Hopefully they've improved in the meantime).

     Kami, I've actually got access to a special version of the forum that supports tabs. Noob.









     Or maybe I just hit the space bar five times? : P

Loth, why did I never think of that.

[|MP|Buccaneer]

Well, certainly you can't mean my spinich post...since that clearly was in good humour.

Not to me Bondo, not to me.  About time you learned that putting someone's name on it doesn't make it "clearly in good humor".  Not to everyone.  

Loth, I tried Quizno's once here, it sucked.  The ingredients weren't fresh at all, all they had was the oven baking going for them.  I know I have to give it more then one shot, but the first impression wasn't good at all.  

BTW, anyone here (probably Tasty) know if Burger King still buys most of it's meat from Brazil?  I remember that being a big reason to boycott BK back when I was in school.  And I've never really gone back.

[bronto]

because you don't like brazil or because meat from brazil is dirty or both?

[The Ghost of Bondo]

because you don't like brazil or because meat from brazil is dirty or both?

Because to raise cows in Brazil you have to cut down rain forests...and typically you can only use the spot of land for a year or so because the soil in the rain forests suck...all nutrients get leeched out.

Bucc, I put your name because it was your joke about White Castle that I was referring to, it wasn't a personal complaint against you or anything.  I don't exactly know why you think my statement was critical enough to cause your reaction.  Anyway, can we just take Mauti's advice.  This is too silly a topic to get steamed about.

[Mr. Lothario]

     I had Quizno's in Vegas once and it was mediocre at best, although whenever I've had it in San Diego, it was spectacular. I doubt there's that much of a variation between stores, so you probably just hit them on a bad day. Hopefully the next time you feel like trying it will lack the suckage quotient.

[tasty]

I agree with Loth: Quiznos is very good, if you can afford to pay $7 for fast food.

Also, anyone else tried Jimmie Johns? they are from what I've seen a midwest-east coast chain, mostly geared to college students. they make damn cheap subs though (3.00 flat)

Bucc, either BK stopped using Brazillian meat or everyone forgot about this, more likely the former I would guess. The reason people boycott them today is because they inject their genetically engineered meat with so many hormones.

edit: for all you meatitarians out there in the Midwest, have you tried Culvers? Its a pretty new chain that has swept the area with fattening things like "Butterburgers" and "Triple Thick Shakes". Gotta love something that is so definitively midwestern. Also, I don't think anyone mentioned Sonic here, which is a pretty good chain as well. Has Hardees gone out of business yet? They seem pretty desperate.

heh, i work at a culvers, butterburgers are no less nutricious than any other burger. We use fresh meat but we lightly toast and butter the bun (hence the butter burger) the triple shick shake is called a Concrete Shake(very l337) but our restraunt is Grade A meet compaired to taco bells grade F, so its very clenely and professional, in a fast food service kinda way ( we call it quickservice) you take your order like any other Fast food place, but than we give you a number, and you have a seat, and we bringe it out to you when its ready, the foods hella good(tasty, i recoment the chicken filet)  hehe

BTW Wendys and white castle pwns for taste

Taco bell pwns for the unhealthy factor =D

Wow, I see the corporate mentality has thoroughly penetrated SOMEONE'S psyche.

Nice job SK

11 votes for Wendys?  YOU PEOPLE MAKE ME SICK!!

    Subway pwns all!!!


p.s. CptWillard i will own you any day of the week!

[Mr. Lothario]

     Well, the thing is, when I get fast food (except at Jack in the Box), I always spend $7-$10 to get enough food to fill me. At J in the B, it only takes $5 (three Jumbo Jacks w/cheese, and two tacos). So given the choice of spending $10 at Quizno's for an excellent and filling sandwich + a bag of chips and a soda, or spending $10 at Taco Bell for a combo and a couple of Americanized burritos, I know which I'd rather do.

     I'm a firm believer in "you get what you pay for." I'd rather spend a dollar or two more to get food which doesn't make me feel as though my heart (or my colon) is going to go on strike. : D

[|MP|Buccaneer]

Culvers hasn't made it this far north yet, but I'll check it out once it does.

Hardees here was bought out years ago by Tim Hortons (yes, the Canadian place).  No burgers, but coffee, doughnuts, sandwiches and soup.  Not a bad palce.

Sonic over charges around here, so I haven't tried one yet.  

If I'm actually going to fast food for the taste, it would be A&W.  Rally's had some good burgers when they first opened up, but not anymore.

And for the ultimate in fast food, I don't think we would have survived college if the Hot n Now hadn't opened up by us.  They were a west Michigan chain that has broken out.  29? Hamburgers (the size and quality of McDonalds).  And the Double Olive Burger.  They only had 6 things on their menu total.

My girlfriend is a huge fan of Tim Hortons (no wonder she is only 5'2" with the amount of coffee she drinks)...although I'd say it competes with something like Starbucks more than a "fast food" place (not that you claimed it was fast food, you were just going from the Hardees thing).

I think the Hardees here became Carls' Jr.s

Oh, and I should mention, Wendy's incurred my wrath and forever lack of attendance by removing their excellent salad bar at least locally.

[|MP|Nomad]

AHh yes bucc that canadian place, TIMMIES.  They are a great donut shop.  They are obviosuly all over here, but if you want quality coffee, Starbucks is far better b/c of the variety there is, but Timmies has the best and the original Iced Cappuccino, no one can touch that!!

My fav fast food place is Mr. Submarine.  They are similar to Subway, but far better, why you ask? Cuz Subway cuts their bread in this fucked up style that all buns should never be cut in, Mr. Sub cuts their bread the way a bun is supposed to be cut.  Also, Mr. Sub has a great variety of choices and you can choose form a healthy sub to a not so healthy sub.

I also prefer BK whopper over say Mickey D's anyday.  Mainly b/c whopper's are flame broiled rather than fried shit.  I always order the samething, whopper with NO mayo.  Mayo is the nastiest shit on the planet, including miracle whip.  Might as well, cut a pound of lard off your stomach and lay it out it in yer burger, ewww makes me wanna hurl!!

Like rapper Rob Base said, "I like the whopper, fuck the big-mac"  

[|MP|Nomad]

Loth, I agree Quiznos are amazing but very overpriced.  I agree with you that "you get what you pay for" and quiznos is a quality sandwhich.

Do any of you in the USA have italian sandwhich places?  Stores like San Francesco or California Stlye Sandwhiches??

They do here and they are the BOMB!!

[Maniac]

I still say Wendeys muhaha

[BTs_Lee.Harvey]

All i have to say is 3 letters.... K     F     C..... w0000t
well it was my fav. till they stopped getting the sweeet and sour sauce in the one here

But the guys in my clan know i cant turn down pizza and we have pizza hut express around here(fast food pizza hut)     Slotskies Deli (or however you spell it) has good sour dough pizza and good deli sandwitches!

Just as an iput to the subject, I ate a huge McDonalds burger earlier, it tasted great.
