I'm surprised Chipotle is expanding. I thought they were contracting because their sales went way down after their aggressive expansion they took.

San Francisco does have very few chains because it's full of pretentious hipsters and self righteous hippies that respectively look down on people that go to chains or think they are evil. I'm pretty sure you could hop on Bart and get within a mile of most fast food chains though. Owning a car in SF is kind of horrible though because there is nowhere to park it.
I'm 50 miles from fast food and just have Arby's, McDonald's, Wendy's, DQ, Subway, and Taco John's but it's a lot further to most ethnic food. We have a decent Mexican place and a shitty Chinese buffet and that's it. Hands down the biggest thing I miss from living in the city is good cheap ethnic food. I'm actually trying to learn to make sushi even though I will probably just be making California rolls and caterpillar rolls because getting fish is just to much trouble. Definitely miss being able to get good sushi for $3.50 a roll in SF.

I finally got around to making the salsa con queso Velveeta bites. They were really tasty, and they had a TON of ooey gooey cheese in them. However! Apparently if you cook them for mere SECONDS longer than the instructions call for, the explode and the ooey gooey cheese oozes out all over the pan. Still tastes good, but next time I'll be more exact on my cooking times.

I'm kinda lucky, within like 10 miles of me I have a shitload of pizza places, three or four McDonald's, Arby's, Wendy's, Dairy Queen, Burger King, Milio's, Subway, Jimmy John's, Taco Bell, KFC, Sonic. Probably a couple others I'm forgetting, my town is huge on fast food and pizza. Probably plays a part in why I'm so fat.

My town is like that too.. It's soo bad that there were people protesting that we were getting a Panda Express because it was another chain in our smallish town. Although most of the local places in our downtown are stupid expensive. Like fuck you, I'm not paying 20 bucks for meatloaf expensive.

Five Guys because they are literally right across the street, and the closest In-N-Out is either Utah or Texas (both are 700+ miles as the crow flies).

All of those fast food places deliver here in the middle east. I literally rang up KFC yesterday, they use your caller ID which registers you right into their system. I simply tell them to send the same as the last order. Phone call takes all of 30 seconds, food shows up 15 mins later.
Shake Shack won't deliver though, which is a shame.

Subway shouldn't even count as food. I think that's the one place this entire thread can agree on. Subway is the worst. There's something disturbing about being able to smell one 500 feet away.
Though I recall some very vehement Jimmy John's haters. They're different places though. JJ's is cold sandwiches only.

I love Shake Shack so much, it's good that it's a huge pain in the ass for me to get it.. If not I would be the fattest of fucks.

We had JJ's a few weeks back and she got me extra meat something. It was very lacking and the bread looked waxy. It wasn't terrible but it was awfully light on everything and tasted like preservatives. Last time we had it a yearish ago I remember it being ok. We like Firehouse ok enough. Still haven't tried Jersey Mike's which is really close to us. I miss Quiznos.

Jersey Mikes serves fries where you're at? Just chips at all the ones I've been too.
And I'm instantly jealous of fast food delivery. That's awesome!

Tried a new sandwich place called Cheba Hut "Toasted" Subs
Fucking fantastic place and might be my new sandwich joint (no pun intended). I think all the employees were fucking stoned too.

Discovered this place back in 2015, right before I moved away from Arizona.
Absolutely amazing sandwiches. Glad you found it!

Ah you're right. I was thinking of Charley's. You find them a lot in food courts. They do those awesome, greasy philly cheese steaks where they toss the meat on the giant skillet with the onions and mix it all up. They have really good fries, too.

A couple towns over from me they actually passed an ordinance for no drive thrus at all. The banks had to fight like hell to be able to have a drive thru even but it's a little tourist town by the lake. Closest thing to a fast food drive thru they have is an A&W
