I think I could live off of CFA. They have good salads, good fruit, and lots of tasty sauces.
What are your favorites at Taco Bell?
A lifetime of explosive diarrhea ain't worth the taste
"One day Bell, three day Hell"
Chipotle is pretty good but slim menu.
I don't get rice at Chipotle.
I'd probably go with Chipotle. I go there once a week at least.
especially since they shortened it a lot compared to what it used to be like
I wonder how you-know-who is doing
Lol
By CFA I'm assuming you mean Chick-fil-A which would be my choice as well. Their waffle fries are awesome, I've always appreciated their sauces, and as a bonus they align with me politically.
Aren't you supposed to be a southern boy? What the hell man? When you finally decide to own up and go, definitely get one of their specialty menu choices like a honey bbq chicken strip sandwich or an A1 thick and hearty. You've already made up your mind on Cane's strips, and while I can't disagree about the choice, Whataburger's chicken strips are the OG. Especially with gravy or spicy ketchup.
Had Cane’s for the first time recently when I was passing through Mississippi. Felt cleaner than Zaxby’s (which I’ve eaten quite often) and loved their Cane’s sauce. CFA is still king down South though no question.
Yeah but for the rest of your life??? Cane's menu has like 3 items on it and they're all just variations on chicken strips. You'd be dunzo after a week!
Agreed. Was just saying in general how it’s good food. If only 1 for rest of life, I go Chick-fil-A if I’m allowed to have a blender as they have fruit abs milk so I can make smoothies. If I can’t use menu ingredients to make what I want, I’m going Taco Bell
Wingstop. Can't believe there are only two in Manhattan.
Can't beat the combo of hot wings and hot tits
Also, you can't go wrong with some arroz con pollo. I just noticed how both of our names are food oriented
Dunkin Donuts. I could have those bacon egg and cheese wake-up-wraps every day. Also they constantly are adding new items (avacado toast, pesto grilled cheese right now for example), so there will be some variety as time goes on.
They are also so common in the northeast, I will never be too far away if I am craving fast food (unlike CFA or In N Out).
This might sound a little weird but I would choose Starbucks. It might not be considered a fast food place like some of the others but they do have a self serve cafe. Plus, I would be eating with people with whom I probably share common interests.
True - the bacon egg bites are good from there and I love the breakfast sandwiches. They have healthy little meals too. Great coffee.
I sometimes get yogurt parfaits with granola. You can eat very healthy at SBs or load up on feel good foods. The variety of different types of coffee is great. Lots of people bring their laptops and do work.
Chick a fil. No competition
rip to toilets all around the world for people who picked Arby's
How has no one said Culver’s? That would be my choice.
I’ve heard good things, but haven’t ever been to one.
Highly recommend trying it. Burgers are made fresh. Seared to perfection.
Sides are great- onion rings, cheese curds, solid fries.
The custard is good as well.
It all feels higher quality than typical fast food imo.
I'd guess most people on this site haven't been to Culvers as it's only in the Midwest
Plenty in my neck of the woods (southeast)
Cava
I'm between that and CFA, both are great and can be healthy.
Boston Market.
Not that it is my favorite, but they have a lot of options from chicken to meatloaf, prime rib, bbq ribs. and all those sides.
IF the question is what fast food would I only eat at for life. Then the answer is Burger King. Burgers are on points, fries are good, want onion rings (yeah they got those too), shakes, ice cream, desert, fish sandich(yup), chicken sandwich and nuggets. YOU BET.
Honestly the best thing they have would be the Whopper which kills all fast food burgers except Shake Shack.
i live by one and am getting tired of chipotle what is your top 3 from there i want to try it
I mean, the chicken is good, mac and cheese is good, and cornbread.
BTH the reason locations have shrunk is that a rotisserie chicken can now be purchased in grocery stores, where they were not that abundant in the 1990s
Can't find the video, but this reminds me of Workaholics when Adam says he'd be a smart zombie and wouldn't eat people but would eat Boston Market instead.
HA, that's a very fair point.
In n out
Panda Express
They are pretty good.
Dave's Hot Chicken, Chipotle, Panda Express*, MAYBE Culvers.
Had Dave's for the first time recently, and couldn't stop going back. Legitimately the best Chicken I've ever had. The only thing I'd be worried about is eating essentially the same meal (Chicken + Sandwich Vegetables+ Fries/ Bread + occasional shake) and getting tired of it/ not having enough greens.
Chipotle/ Panda would definitely depend on the restaurant. I've been to several locations that were just shitty. For Panda, I worked at one in Highschool, and that kitchen should've been closed down. Disgustingly dirty, mid food.
Culver's I'd worry I'd become obese. My first job was at Culver's and I gained like 25 pounds off of the free food. It's delicious, but terrible for you.
