McDonald's is AWFUL

I've not had the unfortunate chance to eat there. Isn't that an east coast thing?

You know what's great fast food? In N' Out! White Castle beats.

What about Dick's? That may be my favorite local place. Also, burgermaster.

I haven't tried in-and-out burger before.

But of the major chains, what do you all like best?

I like Wendys the best. Second, Jack in the box, third, dairy queen. After that, it all disgusts me.

Are talking about Dick's in Seattle? I love Dick's! Smile

Their "tarter sauce" must have crack in it, because I am hooked on it. I drench the fries and the burgers in it. Dick's Deluxe for the win.

I am definitely talking about the same Dick's. When I think about their food, it makes me think that my recent sacrifice of not eating beef probably won't be lifelong. At some point, I gotta go back there again and get some cheeseburgers, a couple shakes (I always get more than one, because one just isn't big enough,) and an order of fries. Man, thinking about that is making me salivate!

In no particular order, I like Frugal's, Wendy's, Taco Del Mar, Little Caesar's $7.50 large Hawaiian pizza, and occasionally Jack in the Box.

Lately the only fast food place I've been going to has been Taco Del Mar, and it has to be the right location--some of them have workers that are totally oblivious to what they're really doing.

I will agree that the difference among franchises for Taco Del Mar is amazing. That is one of the few franchises where I feel there is a definite difference among them. They must have fewer franchise rules/guidelines. (Every McDonalds on the other hand, seems completely the same for me.)

Do you guys have SONIC out there on the left coast? Good stuff - tater tot option. Can't beat it.
Roller skating waitstaff - good times for all.

Kizz - How can you deny yourself the pleasure of a Big Mac? Give it another try.

White Castle, Krystal, Checkers, Rally, Jack in the Box - all pretty good.

Carl Jr and Fat Burger - a little pricey.
The $9 combo meal just pisses me off.

Whataburger and Burgerville are pretty good too.

The big mac thing---I don't like pickles, raw onions, catsup, mustard, relish, or mayonnaise. Without those things, there's isn't really much to a Big Mac. Laughing

I've had some of the best and also some of the worst FAST food from Jack in the Box. When they're bad, they're REALLY bad. Smile

Oh yeah. Like a lot of franchises, their quality and attitude varies widely!

I love McDonalds - not so much for the food (though I'm a big mac fan) - but for the business model.

Have you ever watched those shows on History Channel about it - how they got started, Ray Kroc, etc.

Genius.
