ORIGINAL: JVoV You can agree that I don't like any of ChikFilA's food. A friend worked there back in the day, and I only ever ate the bland waffle fries. Even the buns are crap. And anybody that puts pickles on a chicken sandwich can just go straight to hell. If I'm in the mood for chicken, KFC isn't too far. After Alaska, we got stationed in a place that I have always referred to as back to civilization. We went from pretty much zero as far as any food chain with any name recognition to 'holy crap, no matter what it is, it's within five miles'. Not to mention dang near every restaurant that wasn't fast food delivered. quote:
I do really like Arby's too. I may actually be addicted to their $1 sliders during happy hour. I also love that they still send out coupons every month, so I know their new specialty sandwiches. The chicken parmesan with pepperoni was fantastic a few months back. I love their onion rings, waffle fries, Ghirardelli chocolate shakes, their smokehouse BBQ sandwiches... Ugh... Yeah, I may have to hit them up tomorrow. And they have Pepsi products, which makes everything taste that much better. I'm going to split this description into food available within a mile of the house and food that's in the 5-10 mile range. Both Arby's and Chick Fil A are within the mile. (Along with McD, all four of the major pizza chains, a BBQ joint, one Chinese, one Korean, one American that is a chain but the name wouldn't be familiar where you live, Sonic, and a Dunkin Donuts if you want to count that.) The Chick Fil A is absolutely packed from 5:00 - 7:00 and it's got two lanes of drive through that wrap around the building. It's not my go to choice. In fact, I've never eaten there since we've lived here, but it's doing a monster business. quote:
There's a greasy spoon not too far from me that is really good for breakfast. Nice variety, great prices, easy hometown feel. Also serves Pepsi, instead of Coke. It's also the only place to get a decent cheesesteak around here. Because we move around so much, it always takes me a while to find those little restaurants. The kind that don't look like much on the outside but the food is amazing on the inside. quote:
I don't like Chipotle at all. Dairy Queen is bad for real food, but great for ice cream, although I'd rather spend $3 for a half gallon at Walmart. McDonald's is quick & greasy, and closer than anything else. Wendy's is not good. Burger King is hit or miss around here, so I skip it. Long John Silver's is one of those places I remember once or twice a year. Taco Bell is ok, but my favorite thing they had was the Southwest Gordita, with a nice chipotle sauce, but they don't have the sauce anymore. I only do Subway when they send bogo coupons. Crud. I forgot about Subway, Jimmy Johns, and Jersey Mike's in the one mile radius. The rest you mentioned are in the 5-10 mile radius. (Wendy's, BK, Taco, DQ, and so on.) The very bottom of my list is TB because I'm allergic to onions. quote:
Checkers has the best fries, but that's a bit further up the road than my normal travels. So is Hardee's. So those are for days I have appointments. I keep threatening myself to try the Red Burrito or whatever at Hardee's, but haven't done it yet, cuz thickburgers are hard to pass up. Here, Hardee's is Carl's Jr, which is nothing more than a name change. (Also within a mile of the house.) If it's fast food, they probably do have the best burgers and I don't mind paying a bit more for them. quote:
And if you can't tell, I haven't quite decided on what to have for dinner yet. Although as cold as it is, Domino's is probably a good bet. Even with all of these choices that are so close to me. I probably patronized Domino's the most in 2017. It's the most convenient for the three of us, easy to order, and there's enough selection that even if we all want something different, we can get it delivered from the same place.
