    Dancing Chocobo Fast Food

    It's time for dinner and you want fast food. If you normally eat vegan/paleo/gluten-free/organic/whatever, then tough, you suddenly and inexplicably want fast food anyway.

    Where do you go? What do you get?

    Depends on the type of food I want. For burgers, I go to either Five Guys or Larkburger, as both are easily accessible and delicious. Larkburger is a tad more expensive but their fries are delicious. For sandwiches, I go to Cheba Hut. For pizza, I go to Mama Roni's.

    Once in a while I just really, really want McDonalds. Either a Big Mac meal or a McNugget Happy Meal. The fast food I get most often is Del Taco. I get a bean and cheese burrito (they don't put lard in their beans so it's not horrible) and I love crinkle-cut french fries. Sometimes I get Dorrito tacos from Taco Bell, but that's a special circumstance... they're really pandering to their audience with those. I also really like the tacos at Jack in the Box, even though I have no idea what they're made of.

    My very favorite fast food, though, is at those family places where they serve like everything from burritos to gyros to scrambled eggs to burgers to steaks... I get zucchini fries. I love a good zucchini fry. And the place near me has a Coke Freestyle machine so I can make a sparkling strawberry lemonade.

    Shoop's. Not sure how far it extends from my area, if at all.

    Get a burger and lose the bun. Not exactly Paleo, but low carb at least.

    If I get fast food my preference is either for A&W or Dairy Queen when they have their cheeseburger lovers deals on. Two doubles for $4? I'm there.

    Basically just McDonald's. It seems like most other fast food places are noticeably more expensive but not noticeably better. Whenever I feel like going to one of those other places I think "Well for just a few dollars more I could go to a half-decent sit down restaurant chain."

    I used to go to KFC but it always gives me the squirts.

    I pretty much just go to McDonalds or Taco Bell, but I greatly prefer Burger King french fries to McDonalds french fries.

    As for what I get, at McDonalds I either get a McDouble and a McChicken and put the McChicken inside the McDouble, or I get the same with McNuggets if I'm really hungry, and put those in there as well. It is amazing. At Taco Bell, I'll normally just get the 99 cent burritos. They're pretty big and tasty for the price.

    The decision of where to go rests solely on which animal I want to eat:

    do I want beef burgers, or chicken?

    If it's beef burgers, and i really want a good one - I go to Harvey's (I don't think this exists in usa but screw you). Once upon a time I went to a magical place called Jack-in-the-Box but alas, they have reduced their burger size by 90% since Mandee got married.

    If it's chicken - there really aren't very many good chicken places. For strict fast food cravings, I've trained myself to drool when I think about McDonald's Mc Chicken or jr chicken sammiches. I used to like Burger King chicken sammiches but not any more (Burger King also happens to a close #2 when it comes to burgers)

    Actually McDonald's for Angus burgers are good, assuming they even have them.

    Wendy's Baconator if I want to eat Bacon.

    I hate KFC

    I will never go into a Popeye's Chicken place

    I've been to white castle. Overrated.

    No other place/name is good, or I haven't been to one.

    In-n-Out burger for sure. Eating it after a few months of abstaining is like the most glorious thing ever.

    But aside from that, we have a few really crazy yummy sandwich places nearby that we eat at often. There's a place called Bakesale Betty's which has amazing fried chicken sandwiches. You wait in a line 30-40 people long and they just churn out these sandwiches fast enough for you to only wait in line for like 5-10 minutes before you're in front of the workers who hands you a bag of fried chicken sandwiches, and you're on your way out again. I've waiting in drive through longer than that. And nearly everything is sourced from local farmer's markets. It's like the yuppie version of fast food.

    For chicken sandwiches it used to be chick fil a but then i realized the whole "we hate the gays thing" happened so i can't eat there anymore. For burgers its five guys but i never get to have it.

    I really like boston market too.

    Signature by rubah. I think.
