The Fast Food Thread

Quiznos died? Dafuq?

The only one I know of near me, is still open...

Or are all of you talking about the 2014 bankruptcy? I'd forgotten all about that.

They all closed near me with the bankruptcy and haven't seen one for a few years (but don't travel very far). Figured they all closed one way or another. Wonder if there are any good ones left. Going out of state later this year, might try to find one instead of those diversity losers at Chick-fil-A.

Looked it up and closest Quiznos is in a neighboring state and the Google map entry specifically notes it's LGBBQ friendly. What the fuck, I just wanted a toasted sandwich. To be fair, Ted warned us all. Eat the gay sandwich, bigot!

Looks like they're uniquely tagging themselves as LGBBQ friendly nationwide? Bold strategy, Queerznos.

I may have to go pull a McCheese on Monday.

You know...for all the starving kids in...wherever they are.

In your belly. They are in your belly. The starving kids. Now feed them.

The highest rated sandwich place in my town just looks like something I could make.

You need to visit the Gravy thread or youtube if you can't make something twice as good as that with your eyes closed.

Potbelly has been my go to sandwich place for chains. Doesn't compare to a couple mom and pop spots, but it's solid for a chain. Their sweet peppers alone are s tier.

The Subway I go to periodically (it's near the hockey rink and convenient) actually makes decent sandwiches. If anything, they add too much when you ask them for something. They always give extra meat, whatever you order, and I don't mind the Italian herb bread. Not bad bread with extra roasted chicken, extra cheese, and lots of olives and jalapenos. I don't know why there is so much hate for Subway actually. Sandwiches are decently priced, and are at least as good as a McDonalds burger.

At least as good as a McDonald's burger is a weird comparison.

An individual shop doing extra work you know is out of the ordinary doesn't make the chain good overall or in general. I'll tolerate Subway when it's offered, but never choose to go there or make the suggestion. Tastes like Subway, though, not a quality sub.

I don't prefer them because it's often worse than the average expectation and around me they've gotten stingy with toppings and refuse to honor corporate coupons. So the subs are skimpy and expensive.

When I hate them is because very often in my life boring people have insisted we get subway because it's the "everyone likes something" place to compromise with so everyone is equally unhappy. Imagine you're on your one real vacation of the year on the Oregon coast and family is insisting we go to Subway because it's just easier to deal with than finding a real restaurant. That's why I personally hate Subway.

Fair enough. Let me put it another way: a foot long sub is more filling than a McDonalds burger, and is about the same price at this point. I see Subway as simply fuel. I don't go there for delicious cuisine.

What? I can get 2 McDoubles and 2 small fries for less than a 6 inch at Subway.

Much better than subway but worse than most other good chains like Jersey Mikes.

I think there is one in town now so thought to try it. Keeping in mind I'm generally sick of eating out and usually only do it under duress. Which sucks, grew up so poor fast food was a special treat, but it's mostly expensive shit now (after putting all the mom and pops out of business) and what all the poors eat, which boggles my mind.
