Fast Food Chains You Desire

[fezzyfestoon]

Subway I definitely wouldn't consider fast food.

No?  What is it?  I just lump it in with all those junky chains.

Junky? Geesh, you must be a picky connoisseur. It's not your definition of fast food, which of course is a completely negative connotation. Subway sandwiches aren't really all that bad. They do what they do and IMHO they do it decently. I fail to see what the difference would be between buying a Subway sandwich and making a sandwich at your own house.

Fast food is food that is prepared and sold quickly.  Of course Subway is fast food.

Yes, but Fezzy means to use that term in a purely negative connotation. Go ahead and try to use my response as some kind of bad, poorly worded, or incorrect addition like you always do.

Uh...it doesn't take very high standards to be less than thrilled by the quality of food at any fast food establishment, including Subway.  But regardless of my views of all fast food, I still consider it the same as McDonalds or Dunkin Donuts.

[??????????]

Well, that's because you're like the vast majority of posters here. You take your extreme dislike for one thing and apply it to everything in the same genre. It's the same way in which many here hate Wal Mart. They fail to see that everything has positive and negative aspects, they only consider negative and then blow it up to an extreme level to support their negativity. The world is bigger then black and white.

I think comparing Subway to McDonalds shows a bit of naivety if you ask me.

[fezzyfestoon]

No, no, don't jump to any conclusions without knowing the whole story, another unfortunately popular habit of posters.  I have a very strong interest in health and wellness and have done all my research.  All fast food establishments suffer from the same lack of quality control or customer connection.  I know that from what I have learned about all such establishments individually and have yet to find an exception to the rule of fast food being terrible.  Franchising is almost universally the sparking of a precipitous decline in quality.  I know of no exceptions.

[??????????]

So then, as a health expert, what is the major difference between making a sub at home with the same ingredients and going to Subway?

[fezzyfestoon]

Like I said, quality of ingredients.  There is a huge difference between the ingredients at fast food establishments and those from a local store or even supermarket.  In other places moreso than Subway the preparation is also cause of concern to say the least.

Wow, I just found out White Castle is only in 11 states!!  PiT how could you say you have everything when White Castle (which is certainly a distinct style unlike McDonald's having a million clones) is no where in sight?

[Snowguy716]

I'm sad that we don't have white castle here.. but they are all over in the Twin Cities.. Gut bombers are a popular late night drunk food and have been for many Twin Citians for decades.

Yea the idea that people usually go to White Castle when they are stoned as potraryed in Harold and Kumar isn't really far from the truth.  I know a lot of people who crave a crave case when they get high.  Drunk though, I don't know, I've never done that I feel like you would definitely get sick is White Castle on a good day gets you sick

If it was so good, it would be here.

It's not as good as In-N-Out. I don't need to go there to know that.

You're comparing apples and oranges, the type of burgers White Castle serves can't be compared.  White Castle is mini-burgers cooked over onions and amazing fries and onion rings.  Its not a regular burger

The whole "OMGZ IN N OUT IS JESUSSSS LOLZFD" thing gets old after awhile.

I know.

But you can compare any two places. Which one would you rather go to?

The whole "OMGZ IN N OUT IS JESUSSSS LOLZFD" thing gets old after awhile.

But it is.

[DownWithTheLeft]

You cannot compare the two.  I have not tasted the divinity of In and Out, but it is irrelevant.  If you crave a good old fashioned burger, In and Out can compare to Five Guys.  But if you crave what White Castle has, you can't get that at In and Out.  That's like asking whether I rather eat at Taco Bell or Arbys, it all depends on what I am craving.

[Χahar]

Are they really that different?

[DownWithTheLeft]

Are they really that different?

Yeah, from people who have been to both, I hear In and Out compares to Five Guys.  White Castle is not a regular burger, its mini burgers grill onto of onions.  It has an extremely unique taste I have not seen replicated anywhere else except White Manna

[Benwah [why on Earth do I post something] Courseyay]

As far as I can tell the only US fast-food chains there are in France are Mc Donalds and KFC. Burger King retired the few restaurants it had a few years ago. There is a Mc Donalds in every city of more than 15-20 thousands habitants. Big cities has of course several ones, then I wonder if there are more than 10 KFC within the country. An European Fast Food chain named Quick, which is a Mc Do like, is enough present here too, but just in cities of more than 100,000 habitants I would say. I think that's all for US fast food chains and like in France.

If we count pizzas, we have Pizza hut here in every cities of more than 100,000 habitants too I would say, and we have more Dominos Pizza, there is one in the 40,000 habitants city i live in.

Other than that I don't have a special wish concerning a fast food chain.

Ah, and, in very big cities, now, there are also some Mc Do-like that are...halal! They try to make some chains I think, but it remains pretty small. Some try to make some Kebab chains I think too.

Krystal does something similar.

White Castle is as far from In N Out as you can get on the burger joint spectrum.  White Castle is known for its cheap, rather disgusting but somehow irresistible little square hamburgers that are cooked only on one side with grilled onions and a steamed bun (which is on top of the burger, thus giving it an onion/beef flavor).. that you can buy a dozen or so of for really really cheap.

In N Out is most like Culvers here in the midwest when it comes to burgers, because they use fresh ground beef that has never been frozen and pride themselves in quality sides (fresh cut potatoes at In N Out and Wisconsin/Minnesota staples at Culvers like onion rings, cheese curds, and fried walleye).

[dead0man]

Culvers is good, but its kind of greasy and sits heavy.  The fancy burgers from Hardees/Carls Jr are better.

Yeah Carls is definitely my second favorite fast food place after In-N-Out. I wish there was a White castle here so I could see what the fuss is all about.

[dead0man]

Oh they are horrible little yummy creations of the devil.  Both the best and worst thing you'll ever eat.
