The Fast Food Exit

[wings-pens2166]

Gotta say, the longer I’m out here in CA, the more fond I become of In-N-Out

I'm partial to the Wendy's spicy chicken.

I usually go to either Taco Bell or Raising Cane's if I get fat food... Unless I'm traveling, then I'll stop at McDonald's for breakfast. McGriddle, ftw.

As far as "crazy" item... Sandwich with donuts as the bun

The work farm that I was sentenced to (a misunderstanding) would have 7-11 meatball subs day. They were pretty great, at least comparatively.

Did US 7-11s have “serve it yourself” chili dogs ? ... what a glorious disaster that was during highschool here lol

I think so, I think there was a chili "pump" next to where you got the hot dogs. Besides a few drunken meatball subs or slices of pizza, I never ate at 711. I am sure it was and is top notch food.

Oh, God... After hearing about what some guys in HS did to the Chinese buffet serving spoons, i couldn't do that.

Charleston (and everywhere else) Hot Dog Joint Review - 7-Eleven

I put this off as long as I could. According to the National Hot Dog and Sausage Council, 7-Eleven sells more hot dogs than any other store...

7-11 dogs when i went to high school - 3 for $0.89.
on a styrofoam tray wrapped in saran wrap. you put the whole mess into the microwave to get it heated up and all chemically (instead of mostly chemically), and then loaded the whole tray as high as possible with toppings from the nacho station.

where i went to school, we had just enough time to race to 7-11, load up the dogs and race back to school to only be about 5 minutes late for the next class. I pity the one dude who had a car, it was an awful mess to eat those.
probably did that 3x per week for a while.

Wife and I just completed a 3-week road trip across the country so we stopped at a couple fast food restaurants I've never had before:

• Sonic - I can't tell you how long I've been watching their commercials and don't live close to a single one. It was pretty average. Not terrible, just nothing great either. I don't generally like the sit in your car thing either.
• Freddy's Steakburgers - Oh baby, I had never even heard of this place until we stopped here somewhere in flyover country. The burgers were so good, you could get cheese curds instead of fries. It was money. The burger taste was both old school and unique at the same time. Big fan.

The chili cheese dogs at Sonic are really good.

The name Sudden Service concerns me.

Sounds like either a teenager who ignores you and then suddenly whips too after you've waited a few minutes or worse... the description of how the food makes it's end journey after consumption.

Found this!

I’ve tried them a few times since moving out here. For me the in-n-out only refers to the speed it passes through my digestive system

I don't eat much chain fast food but in Canada I do love Harvey's every now and then. Five guys is damn good too.

As for the worst? I ate a Roy Rogers burger in DC as a kid in the 80s and the memory lives to this day. Disgusting. Maybe they were just having a bad day but I wasn't going back to find out.

They used to have a Harvey's in almost every Home Depot.
Again, love the customized toppings availability.
Wife and I used to hit Home Depot just for the burgers, and every single time over-estimate our appetites by upsizing to poutine.
Not sure where to find a Harvey's now.


worst - Jack in the Box.
I was one a business retreat in hawaii many many moons ago, and hit a Jack in the Box at 3am after a long night of ambitious drinking. It was the best fucking thing I had ever eaten
Couldn't wait to get back to the States to have that again.
The next time i tried it, it was mid-day and i was sober. holy grease-bomb, batman. Even worse than Burger King.

also worst - white castle.
I hate onions. so these little fuckers just don't work for me.

Roy Rogers is one of those oddities that was once a larger chain and now only is in this area. Honestly not a place I'd get a burger from. They are known for fried chicken and roast beef. As a chain, they're pretty average. But the Gold Rush Chicken Sandwich - that's honestly one of the best fast food sandwiches I've had - fried chicken patty, cheese, bacon, and honey mustard that's way more honey than mustard.

Harvey's was fantastic back in the day. Like Swiss Chalet though, once Cara corporatized the shit out of them it went downhill fast.

Also, they closed the Hooker Harvey's on Church St. in Toronto. That prostitution hotspot was so fucking iconic Google Maps used to label it Hooker Harvey's lol

This was also a great Harvey's moment

lol

RM: Last time we talked, you were in your second term. What have you been up to since then?
JC: Well, I had a turd term.

/May or may not have been Harvey's related.

Harveys ... ooof lol i wonder why they shut down all their spots in bc ... actually no ... no i dont lol

Cara/recipes unlimited crashes and burns with every attempt to open one of their eateries in bc. (Their presence in bc defines the title of this thread lmao) Milestones was great way back in the day until cara got their hands on it. Good luck Keg . I see that sole Swiss Chalet on Lougheed near Boundary and think ... who goes there??? Hells Angels cleaning their money there as franchisees ?
