OK OOT, it's been a while since we had a devoted fast food thread around here and I think it's time we had a new one.

Red Robin now has a $10 "Big Yummm" burger deal. Includes Red’s Double® Tavern Burger, Bottomless Side & Bottomless Beverage.

Works for me!

McLovin would’ve waited 7-8 years to share this info.

Krispy Kreme has BOGO for $.88 dozens today...

I guess it's their birthday?

How many people buy 2 dozen doughnuts at one time?

Only if toting them to work or the golf course!

Even in my prime donut devouring days (teen years) I could only down a dozen as they rolled off the line. I doubt I could eat two donuts today--and if not hot, probably not even one.

The NY Knicks are why McMuffin can't have nice things

Hit them in the microwave baby

almost certainly under 10 seconds, optimal time likely somewhere around 7


Went to Wendy’s for 2 for $7.

They only deducted $4.98 instead of $4.99 for the 10 pc nuggets. So it came to $7.01 subtotal.

They do this 10 Million times and they profit $100K. And who is going to waste time disputing this? Nobody. It’s the FF fleecing of America.

Then after I order this middle aged guy in a suit comes in and starts wheeling and dealing like he’s at a used car lot. He wants chili instead of fries for the JBC Meal Deal.

Then he orders a specialty chicken sandwich and asks “They give u two slices of cheese right? Two slices!”

“Thats included right?”

“No cheese? $6.50 right? Just lettuce and tomato. No mayo. Extra ketchup. And I get charged for a medium? No mustard, alright. How much?”

I wanted to deadpan so bad:
“Sir this is a Wendy’s.”


wendy's confirmed mid these days


2nd post in a row for food review:

10 pc nuggets: 4/10. No idea why they weren’t fresh because this location gets a ton of food deliveries for orders. Or they’re just poorly run and overcooked them. I don’t know. But almost worth contacting corporate about.

Dave’s Single: 7.5/10. Cooked accurately and tasty.

Small Chili: 7.5/10. Didn’t want fries and this sufficed as a side.


That Wendy’s chili is alright. Possibly the best FF chili in the game?


If you're not doing a easy offer plus 4 for 5 meal at wendys,m I don't know what you're doing


you guys get chili oil, right?

I did 2 for $7 cuz I already had a drink on me.

And I didn’t know I could sub chili for fries in the 4 for $5 meal until that used car salesman entered Wendy’s after me.

I like their saucy nuggets, but they're always cold. Lukewarm at best, for reasons unknown. A quick nuke fixes that, but if you don't have access to a nuke-alizer, I'd give them a pass.

I did a mcmuffin and just went 2/$7. Don't need nugs, fries or a drink. Just beef.

A guy wheeling and dealing in the Wendy’s line should be set on fire in the parking lot.
