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.

I can't even imagine a fish sandwich with cheese.

And I've never even eaten an entire FF fish sandwich. I might have taken a bite of one decades ago. I blame early fish sticks and poorly prepared fresh caught fish for my aversion. But cheese? Jesus Christ, you heathens!

Well, you've probably got some of the best fish anywhere, right? Pulled out of the river, scaled, run through some batter, then deep fried.

100% I've also never had a bite of a fish sandwich and never will. If I did though, I'd definitely want it drowned with as many flavors besides fish as possible.

The best fish to fry in the south don't have scales, they have whiskers.

Yep. You don't scale them; you skin them.
That's about the only fish I'll eat. Love shellfish though!

Tonight I had Jet's Pizza for the first time ever. They advertise all the time here (Chicago area) . Chicago pizza is awesome and chains are generally avoidable. But ... but I ocasisnally like a thickish crust. And the constant TV ads convinced me I had to try this "Detroit Style" pizza. Very close to Chicago deep dish. Very good and enjoyed it.That said Chicago tavern st

Jet’s is a very good pizza chain that’s not talked about much. [emoji106]


Jet’s is great, especially for a chain. Not exactly cheap, but very solid Detroit style. 8-corner well done w turbo crust is the move.

Huh. I'm really not a fish person, did not know that. Always enjoyed catching them in my youth, but always put 'em back.


oh boy honestly wild to me cold caught coho sockeye or chinook smoked dried fryed or jerked would result in anything other than something you might be willing to eat without fear of salmon fellow

It helps to have been raised on fried foods. Them ugly fellers fry up purty good! And then there's the hushpuppies ...


Today only in app, Jack in the Box has 75c Jumbo Jack's. Add cheese for 50c.

Fast food formed "fish" meat concoction + american cheese + tartar +toasted bun is amazingly delicious and has no need for alteration. Don't need the tartar if you're desperate

Both QFC and Safeway have been offering fish sandwiches; WFC has a rectangular patty. Fresh, the coating has a nice crunch, but it hasn't had enough time for the cheese and bread to meld. I think it's $2.99 which is a steal

Safeway uses fish sticks, cheese, and adds tartar sauce on a brioche bun. $3.99 on sale

Either I'll inhale with the quickness. I rarely get the filet o fish at MCDs, its basically a hidden secret menu item at this point IMO.




Finally had a chance to try the Jersey Mike's hot italian yesterday. Was very good, would definitely eat again.


Just tried this for lunch. Really good. 9/10



never had a bad sandwich from jersey mikes, just some not as great as others


If I had a big enough Trust Fun, I'd acquire Subway and Pizza Hut, overhaul their entire operation and turn them into fast food giants again.


different degrees of permitting and overall entry cost
paying for pizza exhaust and fire suppression requirements is a continual tax from operational funs

i need some onion rings in my life

Burger Thing has them.

The best fish is out of the ocean. I basically can't stand fish, but ocean fish is tolerable.

I've fantasized about becoming a billionaire and building a Wienerschnitzel in my town.

Perhaps you are looking at this backwards.
Build it and they will come

particularly if your town is anywhere near me!

Driving around metro-PHX yesterday I caught sight of a Jet's billboard. 1st I've heard of it outside of this thread. One location in the former PV Mall development. I will try it out sometime.
