best fast food item

[phillydilly]

we were discussing this in my office today

we settled on it being the egg mcmuffin or the white castle slider,

close victory by the egg mcmuffin

If the slider was in your top two and it was close, then you're all idiots.

[TheIrishThug]

for me its the chicken selects/strips/whatever the other places call it. if i'm having breakfast its the egg mcmuffin, but that isn't that often.

[jakethebake]

The Egg McMuffin is very good. There are BOBs I prefer, but I'll give the McMuffin its due. With that said, White Castle should never even enter into this discussion. I'm putting almost anything off a Taco Cabana menu in as my vote.

[RunDownHouse]

The Sausage, Egg, and Cheese McGriddle is easily the best thing on McDonald's entire menu.

I'm not disagreeing with this statement, but it's not saying much either.

[canis582]

Breakfast: Burger King French Toast Sticks

Lunch (on sunday) : KFC 2 piece dark with cheesemac and potato wedges.

Dinner: Wendy's #4 (BBC)

Of course I live in SE PA so the sandwich shops here make going to mcdonalds, or any other fast food a waste of stomach space.

[Patrick del Poker Grande]

It's clearly the steak burrito from Chipotle, followed by the Sausage McMuffin w/ Egg, and Hashbrowns. In places where you can get them, good fried cheese curds trump everything.

For people who have Papa John's (Taco Bell-ish place in MN/WI), I don't eat any of the food there (or at Taco Bell), except the Potato Olés there are the absolute best potato based food in the entire world.

[megantw]

Arby's Beef 'n Cheddar with horsey sauce on the side, obviously.

[exist]

double cheese burger from in-n-out.

[MrTrik]

Breakfast: Ham, egg, and cheese Croissandwhich at BK

Dinner: Arby's roast beef and swiss

Snack: KFC/A&W chili cheese fries (very bad for you though) /images/graemlins/cool.gif

Have you gotten the Double Croissandwich?

[CrazyEyez]

Arby's roast beef. No cheddar, no swiss, ample Arby's sauce.
Their chicken strips are quite good also.

They're very good, and not that much bigger. Are you thinking of that ultimate omelette sandwich thing? those are too big, and really not that good anyway.

[MrTrik]

Yeah I was thinking of that new big one. I'll have to try the regular double, never have.

Chipotle? You must live in an area that doesn't have Freebirds. Because it blows it out of the water.

I think you mean Taco Johns. Papa John's is pizza. Taco John's is popular after the bar/party just like White Castle, it's basically a greasier version of Taco Bell.

This is good. They still have it? Or do they just let you call one of their thickburgers a monster burger and you're happy? Remember the Ultimate Bacon Cheeseburger? That was the best burger ever out of a fast food place.

Those Ciabatta burgers at Jack in the Box are all pretty dam good.

But my vote has to be for the beef dip sub at Quiznos.

Those Ciabatta burgers

[/ QUOTE ]

What are they? I haven't had them.

[young nut]

Burger King used to have the best item of all, and it was cheap, but saddly they removed it from their menu a few years back. I think it was called the western rodeo burger or somethin. It just a cheeseburger with a few onion rings smothered in BBQ sauce - outstanding.

Anyhow, I still get them. just order 2 cheeseburgers for 2 bux and a thing of onion rings and combine. Easily the best fast food item, although In-and-out is wonderful. Too bad they don't have any stored here in the southeast.

[CollinEstes]

I think I am spelling it right, but Ciabatta rolls are the bread they use as buns which is better than the average stuff.

They have an italin style Chicken one with like basil, tomatoes, red onion is really good. They also have burgers with that bread that are pretty tasty.

[CollinEstes]

Yeah I used to get that BBQ burger too, I think here in Texas they called it a Bulls-eye burger or something because they used Bulls-eye sauce.

That would knock out OP's WC Slider as well... even if you combined the South's own Krystal with WC, you still are regional. Oh well.

Krystal is the single worse thing I have ever put into my mouth.

I'm waiting to hear from the Chik-fil-A contingent now, so we can get an argument over which is the better [censored]-on-a-bun.

[megantw]

Does this fall under the "fast food" category? Although it's prepared quickly, I think Crif Dog falls under the same category as Shake Shack (er, not fast food) because everything is made to order with tender, loving care.

[sfer]

It's a hot dog, not Le Haute Dog.

[DMBFan23]

chick fil-a is delicious, don't get me wrong, but this is like arguing blonde versus brunette...it's just aesthetics baby.

personally I like to mix it up, but wendy's are more prevalent where I'm at

[megantw]

[ QUOTE ]

It's not "a hot dog". It's an all-beef dog wrapped in bacon, then fried and placed on a griddle-toasted bun with the toppings of your choice.

There use to be a place here called 'Neagles', or something like that.

Everything there sucked. Bad.

But, they had one decent item....The Super Macho Egg Burrito.

There had to be no fewer then 6 eggs, cheese, hot sauce and papa's in these things and there was basically no way in hell you where going to eat one while driving (we use to get them on the way fishing).

I probably missed sun-up fishing 3/4 of the time because of these damn things.




And now I want one.

I hate this thread

[hawkeye]

The double-double from In-N-Out is good, but when I really need to be satisfied I go for the 4x4, animal style.

Eat, rub belly, sleep.

Patrick,

I ate at Taco Johns for the first time a couple weeks ago in Reno. The Potato Oles are astoundingly good, esp. with the cheese sauce. I also had the fried burrito with it, which was strictly average.

[Colonel Kataffy]

I went to In and Out Burger for the first time the other day. The burger was fine, but my god, what is wrong with those fries. Clearly the worst fries ever. It was astounding. Really, they are just mind boggling bad.

The BKs around here definitely still have the Rodeo Cheeseburger, I know because I love it. I get it almost every time I go there and the best part is that its $.99.

Wendy's Spicy Chicken used to be my favorite, but I have to say that BK's Spicy Tendercrisp is better. Its spicier and the chicken tastes better.

That said... yes, the In&Out Fries suck. The use actual potatoes and then fry them with little or no coating. Its sad.

However, 4*4 and a Strawberry Shake is a fantastic fast food treat.

The correct answer is actually the Potato Olé Burrito from Taco John's. All other responses are incorrect. End of thread.

Edit: More specifically, the "Crunchy Chicken & Potato Burrito (http://tacojohns.com/HTML/Food/Burritos/crunchychix&potburrito.htm)".

[goofball]

White Castle should be forcefed to prisonsers at Guantanomo when we want to extract information.

For people who live between Salem and Centrailia, the best fast food item is far and away the oregon blackberry milkshake from Burgerville.

For everyone else, it's the western bacon cheeseburger from Carl's Jr./Hardees

You like the Chicken Fries at Burger King ? They aren't even really chicken fries. It's more like you are eating cardboard or something. There's nothing there to eat.

Chick-fil-A has cheese fries and tater tots ? I've never been to a Bojangles, In-N-Out or a Jack-in-the-box ? Or anything else you California people have. I've driven by a Jack-in-the-Box in another state but didn't go eat there.

[wonderwes]

I am jealous of anyone on the east coast living near a white castle, and anyone in california next to a In-n-Out or Fat Burger.

I live 1 mile away from a white castle. You don't have White Castle ?

[MrTrik]

We have WC but not many of them in MN. Nearest one to me is probably 8 miles, the others are much farther away. It was our after bar grease when I was younger though.
