The Fast Food Thread

There are almost no fast food places left where you can get full for less than $15-20.

I don't disagree with you about the rising costs, of course, but portion size has never been the problem. If you're not full - almost uncomfortably full - after a standard sized combo meal at any fast food place, somethings wrong with this picture and its not the restaurant.

Most standard combos around here are still $8-$12.

How do people like Shake shack? There are a couple in my city but on the other side of town, so I have never been to one. But they are building one right by me. Curious how they stack up, if they are worth it at all.

I think Shake Shack is pretty great but it's not cheap. Certainly a tier or two higher than your typical fast food burgers though.

I'd invade every country in the world too if I had to eat that shit

I went against my better judgement and got taco bell the other day, it was just awful. Nothing tasted right.

Hmm once its built, ill stop in and see I guess. Atm around here a burger meal is anywhere from $7 to $13(the latter usually for double burgers), iirc. I don't do it often, so not 100% sure on price, but I did get in-n-out for us a couple weeks ago and it was $27 for 3 double double meals, with only 1 large drink, rest was default size.

Guess we will see how expensive it is. It is 2 other fast food places down from a chic-fil-a that I swear is always busy. Kind of funny actually, entire line of fast food places, 6 in total, and right behind them all is a huge EoS Gym.

Had the ghost pepper whopper at Burger King. The cheese was hard, 2 tiny pieces of bacon and no spice at all. 11 bucks for the combo, sooo not worth it.

1/10.

Sriracha is changing boys.

I think I’m gonna stick with Crystal Hot Sauce for now…

Fuck 'em. I just put Franks hot sauce on everything anyways.

Sriracha is so overrated. I enjoy it, but its use cases are pretty niche. Something like Valentina black label is way more versatile. Sriracha is only good on certain Asian dishes.

I just bought a new bottle of sriracha on Amazon. We'll see how it goes. Also I only used Sriracha when I eat Asian food. Just like I wouldn't put Valentina on my dumplings/pot stickers.

This. Anything Asian that I used sriracha on, I use sambal now. Everything else is Valentina black or Cholula chipotle.

sambul olek is superior

Well, the good brand of Sambal was the same company and the same peppers. It also had the same shortage, but it's just not as popular as Sriracha. I use Sambal more when cooking than I do straight. I have the Lee Kum Kee version atm, but it isn't as good.
