I want to give a thumbs up to Smash Burger. The Smash fries are great and the Big Smash burger is the perfect size and its super fresh and tasty. We just got one here in Orlando, might be my gotoo fastfood burger from now on.

Smashburger is pretty damned good. We've had one in town here for a couple years now, I've only been twice but both times were very good. I'd probably eat it over Five Guys, but we have five Guys all over the place, and there's only one Smash Burger in town and its a half hour away from me, so I don't get over there much.

I feel like I've said this but I can't really remember so fuck it! Ghost Pepper wings are at Popeye's, somebody go try them since they are too hot for me.

Anyone chime in on this? I was tempted to try them, I like spicy, but I can't do any kind of very spicy or higher(my stomach does not like it at all and will actually be in pain for a couple days afterwards, not to mention the going to bathroom burn).

There's zero chance that a fast food chain has anything remotely spicy enough to cause discomfort. I'll probably give these a try next week sometime, I have a Popeyes near my office at work, I hit it up for lunch occasionally.

I know this isn't exactly fast food, but a local grocery store near me has jalapeno egg nog and it is glorious. Never seen it before and I can't drink regular nog again because of it.

I...I can't even remotely imagine what this would taste like. It's basically spicy milk. WTF?

Well Sonic has a chocolate jalapeno shake I get a lot so its kind of similar to that, but egg nog flavor instead.

I had the chicken and beef Crunchwrap sliders today, and they were delicious. Don't listen to this guy. They weren't dry at all, and I'm pretty sure he indeed got a shitty batch. They basically tasted like mini quesaritos with fritos inside.

I tried them again at a different Taco Bell. Much better. The beef one wasn't my thing, but I did like the spicy chicken slider.

I concur that the chicken was much, much better the beef.

For whatever reason Jalapeno seems to be the "in" ingredient to add to anything. Never before did I think I'd see the day they added it to egg nog.

I'm trademarking jalapeno toothpaste.

I agree, though I was really impressed with the new McD's habanero quarter pounder. It has some nice heat in the sauce. It's "hot" for fast food.

I miss Popeye's onion rings

Hell yeah. I don't get a chance to go to Popeye's much at all, but I was totally disappointed when they didn't have the handmade ones any longer.

Had some 5 Guys yesterday, ate inside. I always forget two things.

1: Just how messy I'm gonna get eating an All The Way burger.
2: How insanely delicious their fries are when you eat them right away.

Not much food goes down in flavortude as much as their fries if you don't eat them immediately.

I'm not a big fan of McD's fries to begin with, but when they cool down, they're like little cardboard sticks.

I tried Chic-fil-a's spicy chicken biscuit. It was small but amazing. The chicken perhaps didnt even need to be spicy; the chicken wasn't what made it: the biscuit was the softest, fluffiest, butteriest biscuit I have ever had in my life.

joz123 · Jan 1, 2015

McDonalds has a good country chicken biscuit for breakfast. It's best with some honey on it.

I had the Hardee's (Carl Jr's) Bacon Velveeta Monster Melt thing. It was great. The frisco melt and the monster burger fucked and created an awesome super sandwich. They even got rid of the tomato. I highly recommend trying it before it's gone. I just got it but for the 1/2 pound version and nothing else it was $8.73. Still well worth it. Not as salty as a lot of Hardees burgers.

Gravy · Jan 2, 2015

It may not have tasted salty, but 2790 mgs of sodium is more than a day's worth. I'm just sayin'.
