The Fast Food Thread

What the hell is Zorro'd tartar and ketchup? Mixed them together?

You know how Zorro cuts a Z into things? Take sauce and make a zig-zag over the food. I prefer it to dipping. You get the flavor of the sauce, but it's distributed and not as concentrated. Ocassionally I like a saucy mouthful, so it layers well too. Once all is in place, may eat and enjoy without looking, without further chores.

Not a huge fan of Long John's but I do like their clam strips.

Hushpuppies or bust!!!

Friday I have a thing with a few friends where we're going to eat nothing but fast food for all 3 meals plus snacks. Give me guidance. Where do we go for breakfast, then morning snack, then lunch, then afternoon snack, then dinner, then evening snack, then hangover food.

I don't know if you have Taco Cabana out there but they have a pretty solid chorizo breakfast taco for fast food.

I used to live in Houston and miss Taco Cabana. We used to go there after the bar closed for food and margaritas.

They use RO water, keep it cold, syrup is in stainless steel containers instead of bags and wider straws. That's the formula.

Chic-fil-a and Wendy's can go fuck themselves. It's nearly 2017, how can you NOT have drink fountains?!? Slobbering dullards behind the counter gave me a regular Coke when I asked for Diet Coke.

The two Chic-a-fils here are always on point with their customer service, like pick any one person at random and it could be manager/employee of the month material. Mind bottling.
On a more relevant side note: I think their sodas taste better than usual - like they run a different ratio.

Interdasting. I always liked the taste of mcd fountain drinks the best.

I believe it's also why they haven't switched over to the Freestyle machines.

I worked at McDonalds in high school and we got our syrup off the same truck that went to every other fast food place. Unless he means the ratio of syrup to carbonated water.

boiled chicken is chicken soup disgusting, just put some chiken breast on a well seasoned cast iron pan, don't even need oil.

You can't eat eggs and your name is Noodleface? the secondary ingredient to noodles? Are you asian noodle based then?

I can eat eggs but I can't eat just an egg, gross



McCheese I know it's the running joke but the 3 Wendy's by me have those freestyle coke machines when you buy a meal

Long John Silver's long ago went extinct in my area. Sad times

Westminster still had it's LJS before I left the area - would be a hike for you, but not a billion miles away assuming it's still around. (Not that I was fond of LJS at all though)

You guys must all live in fast food paradises. None of the half dozen Wendy's in reasonable distance from me have soda fountains. They're all behind the counters, and they're even the kind that are facing away from the customer, so unless you peer over the top to see the top labels, you can't even see what drink they're putting into your cup.

It's much more of a problem at Wendy's than Chic-fil-a, though. At least the workers at Chic-fil-a are competent.

I was actually in Westminster about a week ago, and it's no longer there. In fact, their only KFC just went out of business, too. Place is turning into a fast food desert.

The only Long John Silver's locations I know of are way up in the panhandle in the Hagerstown/Cumberland areas. Kind of funny since those are the farthest from the ocean.

The ratio is different because it takes into account how much melting of ice will occur when pouring the drink. Get a coke with no ice next time and compare it to a coke with no ice from a different place and the McDonald's one will be sweeter because they adjust it for the dilution.

I live in the worst area for fast food. We have nothing. But the Wendy's around here are all newly renovated so they don't fuck around.
