The Fast Food Thread

To be fair that pizza in the picture is tiny as hell. Sure, $4.00 is cheap, but it's not like he's getting a man-sized pizza for that price.
I'd say it's probably the size of a medium fast food pizza in the states. I could eat the whole thing in one sitting, but not without feeling uncomfortable. I would have been happier just eating half, but there's no I'm having that pizza after it's been refrigerated and I don't waste food so glutton ahoy!

McDonald's is gutting their 'fancified' stuff from their Menu. They're basically ratcheting down everything so they don't have to buy various different ingredients, but rather stick with much of the same ones to save costs. As a McDonald's purist I'm fine with it as long as they leave the $1-$2 Dollar Menu and More items alone for the most part. But some of y'all that only like their club deluxe and shit gonna be butthurt.

If they get rid of the Southwest Salad I'll have absolutely no reason to go there ever again, though I rarely go there now that I don't get tons of free BOGO salad coupons anymore.

I was at McDonald's last night and I was pleasantly surprised to see how simple their menu had become. Fast food is supposed to be simple and, most importantly,fast. With all the fancy shit that fast food places have been serving the last 10ish years, it's started to get too slow. Last night we had our food in hand before the change from the cashier! That's how it should be.

Maybe I'm biased living on the coast and having access to a lot of fresh seafood, but fast food seafood is disgusting. Then again, Japanese McShrimp might be fresher than the standard US fast food.

Fast food seafood doesn't even exist in Rhode Island. Hell, the one Red Lobster we had closed.

You guys know I'm not a super taster but I just can't get behind McD anymore. It just tastes like greased up garbage. Wendy's always seems to be the better option to me.

Fast food IS greased up garbage. That's what you're supposed to want/get when you go to a place that hands you your food within 30 seconds after ordering. At this point I'd hardly call Wendy's "fast" food, simply because taking a number and sitting down for 3 - 5 minutes isn't my definition of fast.

Bring back the burger chutes!

WTF kind of 5star black tie Wendy's do you go to. I walk up, get my 2 JBC + Chili and it is in my hands in a minute.

Yeah, the Wendy's by my work is the fastest served fast food I've ever had. The drive-thru is fucking amazing at lunch time. It's literally 5 seconds to pay, pull up to next window and they hand you your bag before you've even fully stopped.

Lol at saying Wendy's isn't "greased up garbage" and then saying you eat Wendy's chili, which is basically a big cup of grease and 3-day-old meat.

Seriously though, the speed heavily depends on what you order. Chili is already prepped so they just pour it for you and you're good to go. JBC is a pretty simple sandwich, so it's also pretty fast. It's the fancy shit like the deluxe club burgers and wraps and shit (talking all fast food joints, not just Wendy's) that slows everything down.

Also, as we've discussed ad nauseum in this thread before, for some reason Wendy's can be dramatically different between locations. I guess the ones near me are staffed by dullards.
