Fast Food Weakness

[Teflon Billy]

My fast food crack is Taco Bell.

Ditto

My fast food crack is Wendy's Junior Bacon Cheeseburgers. I love those things.

McDonalds is my food of choice, but I rarely eat there. Last Time I had one of the Big Tasties I launched it at my face. I also love the Salads even though they contain morte fat then the burgers.

But for real fast food I go local. A local Fish & Chip shop does a Monster Burger, 3/4 pounder burger, 3 slices of cheese (melted to perfection) and 3 onion rings. love at first bite.

Also I can't stand French fries, I don't like'm. Give me fat chips any day.

Culver's is pretty good, but the place I really missed after I left Green Bay, WI is Storheim's. Way, way better. But it's a 2 location place. If you've never been to Green Bay, you can't have Storheim's.

Even harder to get to, the Penguin Drive-In in my home town of Manitowoc, WI. I have never found a burger to match thiers. (Ahhh, how I miss taking my Grandma grocery shopping and then going to the Penguin....)

National fast food places.... eh. I go to Taco Bell cause it's close enough to my work to get there, back, and eat in my half hour lunch.

I like the way McDonalds tastes. Burger King, too. So does Kryptowife. We just can't eat it without being sure to be home within an hour or so. Tasty laxative.

--BK, who thinks "mana in the desert" must have been Double Quarter Pounders With Cheese.

bleh! Jack in the Box? Had those in Tucson, the only time they were good was when you might have been headed home from the bars in the wee morning hours....

I am shocked! When I was out in Seattle I had a sourdough burger from Jack in the box and it was awesome! Now that said it was the least important of the joints I mentioned but I would still like one.

I liked the Sourdough Jacks too. We don't seem to have any Jack in the Box in Detroit--at least not that I know of, so I haven't eaten there in over five years, though. I may be remembering them as better than they really are.

I also really miss Sonic.

Nope, none in Detroit. Closest state on their map is in Illinois.

A Sonic would be nice here, the closest one to Columbus is about an hour away in a small town called Nelsonville.

Lets see, fast choices

McD's : MMMmmmmm

Burger King: Eat there

Wendy's: Like that to.

Taco Bell: mmmmm tacos mmmmm

Not a huge fan of the chicken places but will eat there.

Long John Silver is about the only one I don't like.

Then in Florida we have Checkers: Nice big greasy burger, Big Bufords :drool:

And we have a place called Moes, awsome borriotis.

Very sad, IMO.

Y'know, one of our other favorite fast food places in Texas was Schlotsky's. There's only one in the entire Detroit area that I know of, but occasionally we'll drive half an hour to go get one. That's some good eatin' there. We justify it as my wife "meeting" me near work for lunch, but realistically, it's nearly as far for me from work as it is for her from home.

One place that I've discovered here, though, is Baja Fresh. I'm not sure if it truly qualifies as fast food, but I like it quite a bit.

Oddly enough, for someone who grew up in Texas, I'm not much of a Mexican food snob. I'll eat very Americanized stuff all the time, as long as it's good. Baja Fresh is pretty good. My last boss, who was actually born and raised in Mexico City even had good things to say about them. Although the best thing he had to say about them, probably, was that they were really close to our last office building before they relocated all of us to another part of town when the lease on that office space expired.

BD's Mongolian BBQ is fast, although they're not fast food per se. That's probably the best thing going on culinarily in the entire Detroit region. Which is pretty sad, really. I've said it before, and I still stand by it; Texas food spanks Michigan food like a naughty little schoolgirl. Another "not fast food, but still fast" favorite is Freebird's World Burrito. (Or should I type that FREEB!RDS WOЯLD BUЯRITO?) Still only a few stores in Central(ish) Texas but dang do I miss them. That's almost enough to convince me to move to San Antonio like my wife always is saying, even though I haven't even looked for a job there yet.
