I'm on the road a lot for work and hate making lunch so a couple times a month I'll go and get 2 chesseburgers and a small frie it costs under 5 bucks and its filling
but I won't spend 10 bucks to get a Big Mac cause I'm usually hungry an hour later
I don't even like joints like 5 guys etc just to expensive imo but I'm liking the Wendy's burgers the baconator etc so good and tastes good and your full for hours

unhealthy, expensive bad food is why mc donald's is having a tough time.
(relatively) healthy, cheap, good food is why chipotle is doing well.

Pass on the breakfast too. Its been over 30 years since AND I don't forget. Ate a 'big breakfast', the one with sausage patty, scram eggs, hash browns. The sausage patty tasted odd, 15 minutes later had the schitz like crazy. Had to skip work and went home. Cleared out overnight.

The other was Chili's. Ordered for lunch pick-up / takeout a burger and fries. Meanwhile back at the office, starving for lunch, opened the Styrofoam container and right on top was a green / grey bun of mold! What kind of moronic food company is that? Complained and they gave me gift card only in the amount of the lunch. In the trash that went.

They all suck. Who knows what carcinogens that science will later warn us from these fast food junk outlets.

I remember back when I was a little kid, we didn't eat fast food.

The only exception was about 2 or 3 times a year the parents would pack up my three brothers and I and we'd hit the Dee's drive-in in Kearns Utah (west valley).

Back then the burgers were 19 cents and were a little bigger and better than mcdonald hamburgers now.

Anywho my parents would order about 20 burgers and we'd go to town on them. Man that was a big deal. Sure it was under $4 but that was almost 2 hours of wages back then!

Nowadays kids are so used to fast food it's the same old same old.

+ 3.28% dividend for 2014. I am holding long term. To me the food is road fuel. Just like Wendy's. Never Burger King - except at Nashville airport. It really sucks. Five Guys is getting my love.

$15/hr minimum wages?

To me, that was the A&W in Kingston, Ontario - across the road from the Collin's Bay Penitentiary.

I stop at one almost every morning....their coffee is my favorite take out coffee right now. I will admit to picking something up quick at a drive thru when required but never for breakfast....all fast food breakfast is horrible. But I know what the OP is saying, I had a craving for a Big Mac a couple weeks ago and went out of my way to get one....incredibly underwhelming it was. I don't find it expensive at all....I am amazed at how cheap it is to eat there, that's why the poor amongst us continue the journey to obesity and diabetes.:(

can't eat McDonalds can't drink Bud. I think I'm better off.

I take my statement back. Not all FF suck.

I DO like Portillo's. Excellent menu and food. Crazy efficient. They also ship food to 50 states. Always busy they often have the local PD direct traffic in/out during lunch hours. Believe just last summer, Berkshire Partners was buying them out for $1b.

OK, I get it.
If I eat fast food, I'm gonna die.
If I don't eat fast food I'll live forever....just like youz' guys that are so sure of your selves. Ya'll & the Wookie can't be mistaken, eh?

I still love Arby's roast beef sandwiches

+1 I almost stopped for one today but passed on it for a salad at home.

Jeezus, everything is too salty these days. It's like there's a sodium chloride arms race in the restaurant industry.

I hate it.

I like the Spicy Chicken at Wendy's. THe new steak sandwich at Arby's is alright too. Sourdough Jack though, mmm, I would die satisfied with one of those.

If I'm going to kill myself eating rubbish food; my choice is KFC. If not KFC, Burger King.

Plain old Wendy's 1/4 LB, Red Robin Royal or a Fatburger built like the Royal....

No soft drink, fat fries or med. size

McDs lost site of their bread and butter, the kids. They don't market to the happy meal consumer anymore and IMO that is where they went wrong. Now they're trying to compete with euro cafes?

I still go to McD about once a week. Usually when I forget to eat and need something fast. It is the same thing every time lunch or dinner, 1 double cheese burger and an ice water $1.58 with tax.

I think everyone here is smarter than me. They dont eat fast food, watch tv, or drive GM cars & trucks. I do all three, and I'm not fat, only moderately stupid, and I love my 2015 Tahoe.
