The official ATOT Fast Food discussion thread

[Cheesemoo]

They just built a Popeyes here, that is dang good fried chicken & sauces! Also their desserts are phenomenally good for a fast-food place...anytime I want a single slice of cheesecake, I just swing in there for their Mardi Gras slice-in-a-box.

Have you tried the Cajun Sparkle?

mmmm packaged MSG


(I don't actually have a problem with this - a side of MSG is a relatively common condiment in asian cuisines)

Steak & Shake or Culvers as far as best burger chains IMO

I love Popeyes, but had Bojangles down in SC when visiting a friend, Bojangles is great. Agree with Zin.

Krystal is the same as White Castle, which is best "weird" burger chain

Tillamook county smoker beef Jerkey is awesome.

Not a fan of popeyes. IMHO, they put too much spice on their chicken and its hot. I like culvers ok. My favorite places to eat fast food are goodcents and schlotzsky's. I like cold sammiches better than burgers and fries. I also like the gyros at arbys.

 

[nakedfrog]

I dig Schlotzsky's, but very rarely eat there these days since all the nearby locations have closed.

$20 for 10 legs/thighs...is that it, w/ no sides on top of that? Sounds crappy if so, compared to the Sardi's meal we picked up last week: $24 for whole chicken + 3 large sides + 6 sauces + 4 cans diabeetus drank/2 liter diabeetus drank

K, cheapest way for a whole chicken here is 2x half chicken specials, which would net you 1 whole chicken + 4 regular sides + tortillas for $24. Otherwise a 10 piece mix with 2 family sides and tortillas is $33. BYODiabeetus.

 

[zinfamous]

^awesome. 2x half chicken sounds like the way to go and pretty much what I picked up at the other place in terms of overall cost.

...I think I am going with beans and beans.

I ate at a In & Out Burger for the first time last week while on a trip to Vegas. From all of the hype ive heard about In & Out I was really disappointed. the only plus side is it was a cheap meal.

Yes, truly underwhelming. I tried it in Dallas once and found it to be a glorified McDonald's. Talk about disappointment. I don't plan to ever go back.

The reason you do not like them is the reason why I do like them

Steak 'n Shake use to be expensive now they are more affordable than McDonald's sometimes.

I do like me some White Castle.

The Whopperito is made with flame-grilled 100% beef and seasoned with a special blend of Tex-Mex spices. It is then stuffed with a creamy queso sauce, diced onions, juicy tomatoes, pickles and crisp lettuce all wrapped in a warm flour tortilla.

I really want to try that whopperito but with all my experience trying new food items at Burger King I highly doubt I'd be impressed.

But their croissant breakfast sandwiches are da bomb.

It's nothing more than a chopped up (literally, chopped up) Whopper (no bun) inside of a tortilla with some different sauce. Like I said in my review, it's not a standalone product like say combining peanut butter & jelly into a "PB&J" is, it's just a shredded Whopper in a wrap instead of a bun.

I think it's weird that they dropped the ball on this one. A Whopper-flavored burrito with ground beef literally would have been amazing. Same deal with their hot dogs...a Whopper-flavored hot dog would have been incredible because the Whopper has a great fast-food burger flavor, as well as a unique taste compared to other fast food places, and translating that into a hot dog would have been killer. But instead it just tastes like a microwaved hot dog you'd get in an 8-pack from the grocery store, nothing special.

agreed, and McDucks sausage/egg/cheese McMuffin with a hashbrown smashed in it is also delicious.

 

[nakedfrog]

I liked a lot of BK's experiments in 2000-2010. Damn near everything they've done since has sucked.
That BBQ pork sandwich they had a couple years ago was an exception, as were the cheesy tots.

I can't believe I've never done this.

Neither have I. And the sad thing is my company treated us to a smorgasbord of McD's for breakfast this morning which I could have tried this method for free.

Yeah, they're new to Saint Louis and every time I go in there the place is packed. This whole concept of seasoned food is novel here in the land of bland.

 

[Linux23]

This thread made me hungry again.

 

[Ns1]

evidently there's a new breed of chicken tender specialists coming around?

I need to try this Cane's ASAP

Land of the bland? You have St. Louis style ribs and Budweiser. What more could you want?
