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.

Ya i figured you guys would have them too. It's around every year for ~1month around this time.

very well could be common for us guys
but red isn't on my usual route
and her specials not on my radar

now on to the more important questions
were the shrooms a pile of thin sliced fungi atop the patty
or more like a big fat cap grilled on the flat top with melted cheese


pile mixed in with the cheese sauce. super messy but in the best kind of way. it's the ultimate umami burg.

Saw on twitter this week that Steak N Shake is switching to tallow for their fries, all locations supposed to be changed over by the end of February.I'll be interested to see how this changes the product, I've never found their fries to take on that much oil since they're shoestrings. And I do wonder how pure the tallow will be, since for example a lot of restaurants that say

The Steak n Shake at South point is literally the worst hamburger joint I have ever been to. Bad everything.

Never been to another one.

somehow my Wendy's son of baconator tonight was only $3

by emophobic

The Wendy's $3 son of baconator is the menu price so you can stack it with an offer.

by Booker Wolfbox

Confirmed and that's a helluva deal.

by All-inMcLovin

I gotta get myself to Wendy’s at some point.

by duvvard

Think I read it was ongoing until 3/5.

When you can grab an offer in the app along with a couple of $3 Wendy's son of baconator, it's the best burger deal of 2025.


I believe I will be going to Wendys today to partake in the SoB deal once again. I actually prefer Wendys single burgers to the doubles.

The Habit has some BOGO offers on Tuesdays coming up. Double char for this week.

Carl has got that Hangover burger featuring bacon, egg, cheese, mayo and Hash Rounds on sale (??) for $5.



Rick is bringing bagels to the Valley of the Sun (likely elsewhere in the USA#N too). Saw a billboard and an ad (must have been during a sportsball event?). McBagel b'fast sammich, steak, bacon or sausage.

They already have bagels here in SO AZ, but they call it sausage egg and cheese bagel, or something like that. The bagel is cold though, which makes it excessively chewy. It's nothing like a traditional toasted bagel. Which I wish I could get, but there aren't any bagel stores around. Not everything about the Big City sucks.


Might have to pay Wendy a visit this weekend.



needs french fries...


You are in luck! Fryday features free fries from the Redhead.

I may get an afternoon snack of fries n a thin-mint Frosty today...


I thought there was a FoF deal on fridays? Not seeing anything in the app.


MERDE!

Most fish sandwich deals start during Lent. This year Lent starts on March 5th. But some franchise owners do their own deals whenever.


I’m thinking of giving up fish for Lent. Nothing but meat on Fridays too.


Tried the thin mints Frosty today, it was fine. Not life changing, just fine. Don't think I'd pay the 50 cent upcharge again.

The $3 Son of Baconator, however, was worth the stop.

But Lent is the best time for fish sandwich deals!!!

Worth celebrating imo.

Also, I think Freddy's has a $1 double in the app today only.

Tried Chicken Salad Chick for the first time yesterday.

Got the Chicken Salad Melt with bacon and cheddar. Literally melted in my mouth. Fruit was fresh. It came with a mini butter cream cookie that was okay. Then I also got their extra large rice krispy treat with chocolate chips that was excellent.
