All of your opinions of McDonalds are completely wrong. They have the best french fries in America and the fact that everyone goes there proves that!

Tater tots and shakes at Sonic Drive-In are the best.

My personal favorite is Fat Burger. If only there were locations on the east coast!

I noticed on my last trip to manhattan this weekend that a Yoshinoya beef bowl opened up on 42th street and 8th ave. They are a popular chain in southern california and really quite good and inexpensive. The one in New York was packed. I hope this is the start of the chain spreading throughout the eastcoast.

Chipotle is over-priced slop thrown on a tortilla.

In N Out rules!

The dressing at Boston Market is damn tasty.
Arby's RB and cheddars make the list
Whoppers are still king
Wendy's fries make me want to grab them by the fistfull
Belgian Chocolate-Chocolate milkshakes from Haagen-Daz would be my last requset if I was getting the chair tomorrow.
WORST...
Egg McMuffins...dry, tasteless McHockey Pucks is more like it
Special Sauce
That damn shrek burger that had the meat patty floating on all of the mayo
Hardees entire menu
White castle
I'm hungry...

in n out is a good burger place, but the fries suck. for the best fries i have found that there are a few individual carls jr and burger kings that are really good, but not every one of them is good. i like the chicken sandwiches and chicken tenders at burger king. if you are in the mood for meat and cheese you can go to jack in the box for the ultimate cheeseburger. for sandwiches i pick subway and togo's, but togo's is more expensive. arbys is good for roast beef. and if you want hot dogs, gotta go to wienerschnitzl (sp?), they have the best chili cheese fries. you can trust me on all of these picks, i am a college student and live off of this stuff. i go fast food on average of 1.5 times per day, out of 2 meals.

if you go to mcdonalds the only reasons are A) its the only thing close, since they are on every other corner or B) you have very little money and are real hungry so you are going for 39 cent cheeseburgers.

i also forgot about the mexican food places. del taco is good for quesidillas only. go to taco bell for everything else.

Yoshinoya Beef Bowl is a horrible fast food joint. Even Jack In the Box has better teriyaki bowls.

I'd have to agree that Chipotle is way too expensive for burritos. And I've found that the service staff tends to be cranky and under managed. Del Taco has better food for the money. There's no canned food at Del Taco and they make their beans fresh throughout the day.

Togo's is worth the extra money for a good sub sandwich. Subway's uses inferior products.

I too like Togos. Do not eat hamburgers at all anywhere, even my own backyard. Will not eat anything at Micky D's. Frosties and French fries at Wendys are edible. Kids like Taco Bell. Fast food, if you never eat it, has a really bad smell about it. Try the experiment yourself. Stop eating fast food for a good long while and then try to sit in a closed car with a hamburger and fries in a bag. When my kids want this it makes me gag.

Good Fast food is the chinese food counter at Bel Air, rice bowl with almond chicken yummmmmmm.

Best:
Steak -n- Shake is the place!
White Castles is no hassle!
Kentucky -Best for the Buckey!

Worst:
McDonalds- Make ya gargle (blah!)
Taco Bell- go to he?%
Burger King- Bunch of Bling!

I never tire of Subway. There are so many varieties and it is mostly healthy fare.

Another vote for Yoshinoya. They serve real gyudon like in Japan, not those icky Americanized teriyaki bowls.

One word: Culver's! Not sure if these are a midwest thing or what, but boy they know how to make a good hamburger. Also their custard is fabulous!

frankie...i am not a cooker so i occasionally tend to be a fast food junkie, but i've found that that new chicken bacon salad at wendy's is wonderful...i haven't seen a nutrition listing for it, but it's gotta be better than a burger and fries

I don't have a best and worst, but if you want to learn more about the fast food industry, read FAST FOOD NATION by Eric Schlosser. A great book about how the industry started and how it works today.

I like A Cracker Barrel chains up and down I-95 - you get a wholesome meal at a reasonable price. Only problem is, no beer.

Negatives - crowd is generally dull retirees (of which I will not be one) and you have to get through the gift shop before heading into the dining area. Also I think the conglomerate that owns it is some fascist southern baptist, but I haven't done my homework on that one so can't comment.

Nobody goes to Mc Donald's anymore, it's too crowded.

Good one, Yogi.
