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.
In
none local but i've seen them in eugene and bend
appreciate the heads up
remember when subway placed so much emphasis on their bread?
now the smell is a primary reason people skip it
even heard it used as an insult
'it smells like bmt in here' or 'whoever got the six inch at lunch please take your coat out of the communal closet'
cold cut combo with peppers olives, mayo, oil, s&p
I think 1/2 one could be had for like $3.99
Quiznos $6 FL was the GOAT IMO. with the free pepper bar. Its amazing how bad their business model was. Sell $6 foot longs in one of the priciest parts of DT seattle. Im guessing their ceiling was 20 sands an hour. RIP CITY RESTAURANTS
I remember walking into a Port O Subs behind Bally's a few years ago. Too early for them (I was hoping maybe they had a breakfast sandwich).
I guess I'm glad they weren't open yet.
These two posts back-to-back were phenomenal.

I heard someone, a comedian maybe, say Subway smells like an airport bathroom and I literally can't unsmell it now.
$5 footlong ad campaign was simply too successful, it's absolutely synonymous with Subway. Difficult to justify paying more than $5 for such a subpar sandwich.
I got two Mickey sammiches the other night, plus fries, no drink, that cost me almost 21 dollars. Subway is a bargain in this town.
Local Sonic has 99 cent corn dogs today.

Maybe you should try Burger King Mr. Bill
McDonald's offers a 2 Snack Wrap Meal for around $8 (prices vary by location) that includes two Snack Wraps (Ranch or Spicy), medium fries, and a medium drink, available after breakfast hours. You can also buy Snack Wraps a la carte for about $2.99, but the meal offers better value for getting two wraps with sides.
Smack wrap
One chicken tender with cold unmelted cheese, cold tortilla.
Yup cold. No heat applied. Grab a tortilla out the pack, slap a tendie on it, sprinkle some cheese, wrap it up and go!
Because $9.99 didn't seem like a great deal for a single cheese, small fry, small drink, I looked up prices at my local Portillo's. They had the Big Burger Deal for $9.99 available, and a single cheeseburger was $10.39. So, discounted burger and free fries/drink is actually a good deal, in our new inflated prices world...

*All-American SONIC Smasher™ Meal is $6 plus tax. Includes Medium Soft Drink or Iced Tea and Medium Fries or Tots. Add-ons and add-ins cost extra. Limited time only at participating SONIC® Drive-Ins.
I can't believe we still don't have a Portillo's here yet. The Hat is opening its first location sometime in the next few months. Hopefully that lives up to the hype.
P4B, you don't even need to use the app to order all the BOGO $1 items from Ricks. Fair enough if you've got to have a Big Mac or QPC instead of a cheeseburger or double cheeseburger but that's why you're paying $21 for a meal instead of $10.
I had no idea til now that there's a Portillos in Fort Worth. It's a shitty place for me to get to, but at least I know now for when I'm up that way. I've only been once, in Chicago, but cheeseburgers aren't really the way to go there, right?
Yeah, I usually go for the beef or beef n sausage. Love the crinkles, too. (the superior fry, IMO). Decent shakes, and chocolate cake for dessert.

The cheeseburger is good but there are lots of good cheese burgers out there.
I gotta have the Italian beef extra dipped with sweet and hot peppers. With cheese fries. And maybe a polish sausage.
almost went to taco bell today, decided against it
went to wendys, free 6 pc nuggets with purchase, got a spicy chicken sandwich which was pretty good with the right amount of kick. HOWEVER the nuggets are so ****ing small these days, I wonder.. can they LEGALLY even call them nuggets anymore? they're more like "bites".
