Battle of the Fast Food

So in Australiastan whilst there is a battle of the fast food restaurants, I feel like Americanstan has like doubt the amount at least of places.
So stake a claim and argue for your preferred pizza, fried chicken, burrito whatever you prefer. Anything goes. Your local pizza shop has the best ever pizza? Explain why? Same if you have the best Wendy’s in town. (For the record we don’t have a Wendy’s. Or Popeyes. Which I thoroughly enjoyed when I visited the USA.)
Which fast food is the best ever?

Some of the best food I've tasted is whenever I've been brought over pizza from Chicago from pizzerias there. I've been told some states have even better things, though.

The Duks chain in Chicago has really good hot dogs, polish sausage, and Italian beef sandwiches. Fast, cheap, and good. Chicago also has fantastic pizza, of course.

Sadly, I no longer live there, and food here is nothing special. So I'd go to Wendy's for fast food.

Im not one for fast food, but.

At uni in Manchester we would head out to a place in the nearby town of Sale called The Canadian Charcoal Pit. They would make up your burger from scratch and cook it over an open charcoal fire. The buns were a delight and the array of relishes was an eye opener.

When i left uni, and started work 40 miles away i would occasionally make the 80 mile round trip.

I don't know if it's an international chain or a local guy with a vision.


Also. There was an India take away in Cleveleys called Dillies the food was a delight. Their lamb korai was truly wow.

I feel like Taco bell has struck a good bargain. The workers seem cared for, the food is yummy, and you can get food for cheap or go bigger. They've recently brought back the spicy potato soft taco, too; with its yummy sauce. It costs 1$ here, so theoretically you can go through the drive through and order two of those and be good for 2$.

I've always liked Spinelli's of the Highlands in Louisville. There may be better pizza. It's possible.

Also, they're the only fast food place around with a full vegetarian menu.

Here in my new home, folk have taken to both ironically and unironically calling Chik-fil-A "The Lord's Chicken". That Corp's issues aside, I think it's crap chicken that's nothing special. KFC, for all it's storied longevity, is bland and boring as well. 11 Herbs and Spices where? But Popeye's? Love that chicken from Popeye's. And just to dig one over on the people here, with their "Lord's Chicken", and because Popeye's has that good spice, I've taken to calling it "The Devil's Chicken" :tearsofjoy:

It's weird to me how much Taco Bell's menu varies from country to country.

I remember all the outcry when they took potatoes off the menu. I was like "you had potatoes on the menu?"

In the pre-plague times when international travel was still a thing, I'd be over in Michigan fairly often. A few times, I'd go into a Taco Bell and not know what to order; the menu would be completely different. No fries supreme, no loaded grillers... it was like I was in some other chain.

Years ago, I was having a real rough time. I went into a Taco Bell. It made me feel better. I went back every day for lunch. It was kinda nice. I got to know the workers. It became a peaceful spot. I no longer do that, but it was a nice round while it lasted.

I like how they've added the black bean option for everything, but I dislike the disappearance of the 7 layer burrito, and how many things you have to order online. For whatever reason, I can't get the site to work on my computer, so its goodbye potato Quesarito for me. :(

When I lived in London we used to eat at Indian cafes on Brick Lane (in the East End), very basic, but cheap and tasty.

My favourite strange fact about KFC is that after Harlan Sanders retired (to the suburbs of Toronto, weirdly) and sold off his shares in the company, he'd still randomly show up at nearby KFCs, sample the food, and berate the staff if it wasn't up to his standards.

I heard that he tried to open a new restaurant afterwards to 'do it right', but I'm not sure what that restaurant is.

Hopefully he didn't do what Jimmy John Liautaud allegedly did. There was a story that circulated with believable consistency that he visited one of his stores in Chicago to get lunch. Apparently the sandwich was made wrong, or not up to his standards. Rather than gather the crew up in the back and explain what they could improve on (y'know, like an adult), he threw the sandwich at the in-shop staff.

I would've legitimately lost my gorram job that day. Don't care who you are or how rich you are, that's not right.
