New fast food discussion/review thread

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.

You waste a half-hour of your life? Now that's a dedicated fast fooder.

I'm hanging with the wife, family or friends. 1/2 hour is nothing.

How long should lunch last?


they call it fast food


Also the food gets delivered to the table. You don't even need to move.

well, you are the KING


The Big Mac, Snack wrap, small fries and drink were good.

Time went fast. I even had time to add an apple pie but didn't pull the trigger.

Price was right!

I don't know. I almost never JUST have a meal. Multi-tasking is my game, and I can't multi-task in Mickeys. (Don't ask me why, you know the answer.)

Pizza Hut had 20 mini-wings for ten bucks a couple days ago. They were just like their other Buffalo wings, only smaller.


Every Wednesday for a little while, I think that’s a great deal. Like the hut wings and honestly smaller flats and drums come out better.


I'm a fan of the AYCE Costco wings samples the weekend before the superbowl. :p

haven't had those in particular, but i can see what you mean. wings can be too big at times.


Got one of these at Carls, XL version of their California Special, their Big Mac knockoff.


Good price too, better value than any of Mickey's or Whopper. Under 6 bucks, which is rare in this town.


FF adjacent:

The deep fried bean burritos at safeway are now both disgusting and half the size they used to be

Filling was weak as hell, it was like gruel

Corndog also shrunk. Luckily for my order of burrito and corndog (both fresh out the frier) dude only charged me for one. They know when their product is bull-shizzit.

CFA gave me a free sandwich offer for today because the Islanders scored first last night.

Pretty sweet. CFA, you may be a FF Cult, but I’m a believer now.

Also the worker guy who gave me my food today called me “boss man”.

I gotta tell you, I love a Sonic chocolate cherry coke.


Online advertising worked on me yet again, and I headed to Chipotle for lunch with a plan to try their red chimichurri LTO condiment. Ordered it on the side of a barbacoa quesadilla, with a free rewards chips and guac to boot.

The chimichurri - A) It was so oily, it almost looked like chili crisp in the cup. It almost made me wonder if either I or Chipotle don't actually know what chimichurri is. B) It was aggressively, unpleasantly salty on first bite. Between the oil and the salt, this thing must have been just insanely unhealthy. C) Somehow, after you got past the first salt kick, it was pretty gd delicious. Like, really pleasant umami richness added to the beef/quesadilla and the chips both. I enjoyed the heck out of it, even if each and every bite started with "holy cow this is too salty," before transitioning to "wow that tastes really good."

Chipotle's guac ranges from decent to really good, 85%+ percentile guac - today was a great, upper end of the range day. Delicious, and free!

I was surprised to get the fajita veggies on the side instead of in the quesadilla. Eating them that way made me realize, they have to put some sugar on them when they cook them. There's no way onions are that sweet. Cheaters.

All in all was very pleased with the meal and I look forward to having it again, although given I only get there two or three times a year I'm guessing chimichurri will be long gone by the time I"m back. Probably for the best, health wise, but glad I tried it.



Looks great!

And I never ever heard of chocolate and Coke together. hmm.
