I sort of evolved over time. The Whopper was my original favorite. When I moved to Texas it was the Barbecue on every corner. Brisket smoked over wood fire for 16 hours just destroys flame broiled hamburger. Every one was different but it was hard to find barbecue that wasn't good. It became a trade off between thousands of mom and pop Tex Mex or Barbecue. I was in Heaven for years until my doctor checked my cholesterol. All good things must end.

PIPEWRENCH...I had to chuckle a bit when I read your post because that is exactly what happened to me.

I had moved back to Texas to buy a house and was staying in a fleabag motel while looking for one and doing all the paperwork.

All this time, I had not enjoyed all my usual Texas food in years. I overdosed on BBQ, Tex Mex, grits, ham, eggs, and a new thing called an "Armadillo Egg" (a deep fried mix of chicken, bacon, rice, and who knows what), Boudain balls, and all other kinds of yummy stuff.

When I checked into the new VA clinic they said my cholesterol was through the roof!

I still think it was the slow cooked brisket with its beloved fat mixed in. There is nothing in the world like it.....until you drop dead.
 
When I lived in Tujunga, CA we had a friend of the family whose kid could not eat meat, but the doctor said it was OK to eat McDonald's because there was not enough meat in them to cause any damage.

I love that. lol
 
Panda Express or Culver's.

Culvers is an experience, more so for dessert and customer service. If you want a good burger, try 5 guys. We tried it just recently and liked it. Made to order, toppings of choice, call ahead if you are in a rush. Good stuff.
Edit...I like that you can observe them making your burger.
 
That is awesome. When I was in France, I learned to LOVE mayo with my fries. The Brits pour vinegar on theirs and I did not care for that much.

Once in Florida two heath nuts saw me dipping my fries in mayo and they said I might as well clamp a pair of vice grips on my arteries.

Mayo fries are awesome. Try spicing up your mayo a bit. Even better.
 
I'm a Rocky Mountain guy... my favorites are Taco John's and Renzio's.
 
I dont usually do fast food but if its pizza then Pizza Hut since its cheap and somewhat okay tasting.

For burgers- since I dont live near an In n Out or 5 guys then its BK.

For chicken its KFC.

Thats about it.

I actually think snackbars are healthier than regular fast food joints, here at least you have to wait for a little while (always under 10 minutes depending on how busy it is because the food takes about 4 minutes to be cooked) and cannot instantly gratify your craving for immediate food.

I agree, being in a hurry is not good for the digestion.

Once in Belize, a family would cook for pay when I was with a surfer friend of mine, and it took about 30 minutes but was well worth it.
They were just a family that lived close to the beach and had this little table outside. No menus, but it did not matter. We ate whatever they brought us, and paid them well.

PS...LOVE your kitty cat avatar. Cats and I have a special connection. Always have.
 
For burger, I like Whataburger, and Burger King,
Fast Tex-Mex Taco cabana.
Fast real MEX Taqueria La Jaliciense (The best barbacoa tacos, I have had anywhere)
 
Sonic, Checkers, or Chick fil a
Edit: Sometimes Popeyes
 
Well, I'm not quite sure if it's "fast food" - depends on definition - but "Viva Burrito" in Boston was my favorite until I started working from home.

I suppose it counts. You order at the cashier, they assemble the thing, and call you up to retrieve your order. But, it was also very fresh (whereas a lot of fastfood just reheats stuff in a microwave, etc).

It wasn't purely traditional mexican. They had interesting burritos too, like lamb & garlic or lamb & spinach. So good.


Think I'll need to take a trip into town sometime soon...

She was called Nicky and died aged 17 from cancer, but this is the way she loved to sleep with me

or this way, arms alongside either of my face and then she would sleep, or get cuddles which she loved

And food usually is better indeed when time and attention has been spent on it. I love eating from the snackbar but my favorite food is Chinese/Indonesian, costs twice or thrice the cost from the snackbar but then you can eat for 2 or 3 days straight with great tasting food.

Thank you for the pics. There are fewer connections than a cat and the person they choose to be with. I am sure you miss Nikki.

I miss having a cuddle cat. Marmalade likes to be near me but never cuddles. General Lee was my favorite cuddle cat, but he died when I was in Nebraska.
His ghost came to visit one night when I needed it most, but that is another story.
Once the connection is made, it is never broken.
 
Culvers makes pretty good food, comparatively.

I see a lot of people talking about how In-N-Out as being the best burger joint in the business, but this is categorically incorrect. Five Guys is the best place to get burgers, hands down.

What?!? Come at me bruh!
 
out of the restaurants listed, McDonalds, Panera, and Subway. Subway has healthier options, which i like, Panera has healthy options which taste better, and i eat at McDonalds for a treat.
 
it all tastes like garbage and is terrible for you. if i had to choose i'd say arbys.

True fastfood is not the way to eat all the time. But every once in awhile you gotta toss yourself a bone.

I try to eat healthy but........... I will admit it I like KFC and nothing like a 5 Guys Burger. Not every day of course.
Usually on Saturday my wife and I go treat our self to something not known to be healthy. And we eat every greasy french fry in that bag.
 
Its called My Pantry. Its in my kitchen.

Fries are greasy? Now you tell me.
What I like most about the 5 guys, aside from freshly made burgers, is that they put as many fresh Jalapenos as you like on it.

Mcdonald's gross.

Chipotle has a fairly decent selection
 
I probably eat it at least twice a week on my way to work, just because it's fast, convenient, and a healthier alternative to the greasy slop the burger joints sell. I've never had any digestive issues. :shrug:

I also don't exactly eat it for the "authenticity." lol

Right? I eat "authentic" almost every night, when I want something fast and cheap Taco Bell can't be beat. I love the cheesy gordita crunch and for breakfast the am bacon crunchwrap is the best, with fire sauce. Doesn't hurt my stomach either but maybe we are now just immune. :mrgreen:
