Just saw an article where in a poll, Chick-Fil-A replaced In-N-Out Burger as the top fast food franchise in America. I already alluded to In-N-Out the other day. I tried it once out in Vegas and that will be my last. Not a bad experience. Just as bland a burger and fries as I've ever had. I expected 100% more after all the hype.
Speaking of the Chick, last season we made a weekend out of a foosballz Saturday on the Planes. The game was a late afternoon start and that morning, we were driving across campus to meet some family. I think it was Magnolia we turned on from College, but as soon as we did....dead standstill. A wreck? No, don't see one. Football traffic? No way. It's way too early. Finally after 20 minutes of crawling at a snail's pace, we see that it's the friggin' drive thru line for the Chick-fil-A's. Now folks, Chicks is solid fast food. Right up there with the best of em'. And the ones we have here are like mad houses. I avoid them any time around lunch. But I will be gawt dammed if I'm going to wait that long on a fast food chicken sammich and some waffle fries.
But what's your go-to, fast food burger joint? How about chicken?
I'm not sure if 5 Guys qualifies as a pure, fast food joint. I kind of think you need a drive thru to qualify, but if it does, they're sitting up top on my list. You can laugh all you want, but if it's hot off the grill and the fries are fresh and dusted just right with the sodium....a McDonald's Quarter Pounder with Cheese is an easy top 3 for me.
As for chicken, laugh again but I've yet to find a fast food piece of bird that beats a KFC Original Recipe Breastesses. I'll hit em' up for just one, juicy breast and be happy as a clam. Right behind them is Zaxby's. And yes, I'd rather have a Big Zax Snack with their seasoned fries and that lush-us dipping sauce than I would anything at Chick-Fil-A.
Who ya' got?
