Zaxbys vs Bojangles vs Church's vs KFC vs Popeyes vs Chick-fill-a
FIGHT
Next I need to try Free birds to see how reality compared to interweb hype.
0/10
Really, you could make this argument about any fast food chain. They're all pretty crappy but get the job done.
Freebirds is hard, I know a few people who tried it and hated it. Mostly though because they walked out with the most bland/boring beef burrito possible. Unlike Chipotle, Freebirds will let you run yourself into a culinary ditch. It is the burrito place for adults.
Here are my tips:
-Get a flavored tortilla if you don't get a bowl (I like the spinach one)
-Get the black beans, never the refried
-When they ask if you want this or that shredded cheese say "queso instead." They might say it costs more but it shouldn't
-The best meat is the carnitas, but the chicken isn't bad. Avoid the "steak."
-Always add the corn salsa, it is amazing and free. You can also ask for extra rice and beans for free
-top whatever you ordered off with some lime juice
In and out is amazing. Best burger anywhere. Your mom can't make it.
Yeah, but she sure can make the old in-out in-out.
churches biscuits > popeyes chicken > kfc hot wings > chick fil a fried in peanut oil shit > what the fuck is zaxbyx/bojangles?
I have been hearing and reading In and Out hype for a long time and I finally tried it. Good thing I had not fell for the hype, I wouldn't even put it in my top 5 if I had to make a list. It straight up tasted like a home made burger and it was not bad or anything though. The fries did really disappoint the most, so meh.

here is out it works:
In N Out competes with
McDonalds
Wendys
Burger Kind
Hardees
Jack n The Box
DQ...anyone else in that "fast food" class
In N Out isn't uniquely remarkable, but they are certainly better than their competition: value and quality of product. The burgers aren't simply good, but they are relatively cheap and of higher provenance than the others. That is rather important.
They don't compete with 5 Guys or BurgerMeister or any of those "casual semi-cafeteria joints." It's a different tier of restaurant. I like all of them for their own reasons (well, except for the fast food list...I only really like 1 or 2 of those).
The fries at In N Out are a bit disappointing, but the deal with that place is knowing how to order stuff from the hidden menu. Again, this doesn't suddenly make everything mind-blowingly awesome, but it adds to the service what isn't immediately apparent from their simple menu.
Borkil and Sawyer the same person? made the exact same post about 2 different restaurants.
Only thing popeyes can do is red beans and rice.
