What is the best chain fast food restaurant?

[payn]

All this chicken talk makes me wish a fast food chain would arise that uses the broasted method. There is a joint in middle Minnesota in a rural town called the Brass Rail (not to be confused as the strip joint in Minneapolis) that makes a killer chicken dinner.

All this chicken talk

I know, I live in Buffalo and now I want some wings. Last night was too late and when I went to the wholsale club today they were the un-cut kind, so the effort wasn't worth it and not enough people to eat them. Theyre extremely expensive to order in now. There's a place 5 minutes from me called "Nine-Eleven Tavern." They made #2 or #3 on the United States top 10, They are good but I was astounded. That top 10 is objective, so it doesn't mean anything. The owner is smart, only open a few hours a day, cuts off orders at 9 or 10 o'clock and its a 2 hour wait to be served (even before COVID). My brother delivered wings to him and said he was super pissed when he saw the guy on his routes because he'd go through every package of wings and reject some if they were too small. I wont say they're the best but they are damn good wings, Just don't go in the bathroom, it looks like Jason Vorhees' bedroom. Wasn't dirty, but just a terlit and a table lamp on the top of the tank. Sorry for the rant but if you're ever in Buffalo and want good wings go there, screw Anchor Bar they're not good.

Buffalo Wings are just

Butter
Gotta be "Franks" Hot Sauce!!

Maybe a bit of garlic and onion powder, Sriracha, paprika and Cayenne and chili powder - Thats what I do, I've made some awesome wings that they had great flavor but were super hot,

Not me, something about the standard MCD patty never sat well with me. I do like the McChicken though better than Chick-fil-a.

I agree to an extent, their burger patty has gotten greasier and smaller over the years. Around 2015-2017 they had an artisanal line of burger and chicken sandwiches that were amazing. I think they were just too costly for the average fast food patron

Things McD does that taste good: pickles, ketchup, whatever else is in the mcrib

There new spicy Chicken is actually edible I think (not saying good) and a vast improvement over some of the old ones. I'm not sure it's enough of an imporvement to say it's converging to goodness instead of asymptoting out to mediocrity.

It's probably what was left on the cutting room floor of Texas Chainsaw Massacre

The problem with McDonalds is that they forgot their place in the fast food ecosystem. They were never the place to go get a good burger; but they were a great place to go to get a cheap burger. It's the place you go when you've only got a few bucks left in your pocket and need something to tide you over for a little while.

McDonalds selling their burgers at the same cost as other shops with better quality food has been to their detriment

I love that the McRib is this limited time beloved fast food offering. I hate the fact that it is disgusting.
