The Arby's roast beef is actually comprised of a beef extract paste that is discharged from a large foil sack, similar to birthday cake icing. <BR><BR>Clearly, Yack In The Box is the worst-- I was once sick for nine days after eating a double cheeseburger with mayonnaise.<BR>

We stopped at a Pizza Hut somewhere near Orlando. After sitting down, we were given silverware that looked like it had never been washed.The whole place was pretty grubby. We recluctantly (the kids were starving) ordered a pizza and a pitcher of soda. The waitress said - 'I wouldn't order the soda if I were you'.<BR>She woudn't give any details. We were out of there!

Any one who dises White Castle is doomed to eat every meal at Wall Mart for eternity.

Pat Aug 1st, 2002 10:31 AM

Leon,<BR><BR>What is "dises"? And is "Wall Mart" related to Walmart? Time to repeat the third grade...again.

Problem Aug 1st, 2002 10:40 AM

Pat, you got a problem, "dises" is simply a typo, Leon meant to type dines. As for the spelling of Walmart, lots of people can't spell, I can live with it and figure out what they are saying, why can't you. You don't have to get nasty mean.

notPat Aug 1st, 2002 10:44 AM

No, I think Leon meant "disses" as in insults, not dines. No one "dines" at White Castle, for cryin' out loud. Truly it's one of those places you only go when you're rip-roaring drunk and don't give a damn, or you're just crazy/stupid.

Problem Aug 1st, 2002 10:48 AM

Notpat, perhaps you are correct, I wouldn't eat at White Castle let alone dine. After reading Leon again, I agree he meant disses. But still feel the same on misspelling of Wall Mart.

To the person who was whining about the "italian" food at Epcot: For crying out loud, why on earth would you expect fine cuisine at Disney? It's a plastic world, which is great for fantasy. Grab something to keep from starving - but expect high quality dining OUTSIDE Disney.<BR><BR>To the author and posters of this line: there is (almost) always a trade-off between quality and price. You expect fast food to be relatively cheap. You get what you pay for. Why on earth would you expect anything else?

Krystal is the nastiest thing I have every attempted to eat. After looking at it, I could not bear to put it in my mouth.

Oh No. I have you all beat. The Wendy's on Rt. 50 West out of Ocean City, Maryland. Complete with more flys than you can count, horrible service including 3 batches of burned fries by a half brain dead youngster, pox-marked workers who looked like they did not know the meaning of "staff washes their hands" and lines of people all waiting because they already paid for their stuff. I was going to write to Wendy's but Dave is dead and I never get a response from them anyway. The floors were sticky, the tables dirty and even our receipt was greasy and had smears of cheese on it. GROSS and should be investigated by the Health Dept.! Don't go there!

Taco Bell!!!Their ground beef<BR>( if that's what it really is)tastes like cat food looks like it would taste. YUK, YUK!!

gail Aug 1st, 2002 04:19 PM

My cat disagrees about the Taco Bell meat resembling cat food. My son is accustomed to sharing a small morsel of food with his cat, and the never-turn-down-food feline refused the filling from a Taco Bell taco a few weeks ago.

kam Aug 1st, 2002 04:30 PM

Oh funny, Gail! My dogs recently turned down a Taco Bell taco that my son brought home. I wouldn't touch it with a stick.

seamus Aug 1st, 2002 04:32 PM

White Castles where they serve "slide burgers?" Think about the concept and the day after.

Jamie Aug 2nd, 2002 12:44 PM

Elfie-if you'd ever worked at any restaurant, whether fast food or fine dining, you'd never eat out again. Or if you watched what goes on behind the scenes at any food distributor wharehouse or food processing plant, you'd never eat anything that you didn't grow yourself again.

x Aug 2nd, 2002 12:49 PM

Jamie you need serious help for your paranoia.

Elfie Aug 2nd, 2002 12:54 PM

ooooohhh Jamie, don't tell me that! LOL I love eating out ... I don't WANT to know how gross the kitchen is in my favorite restaurants!

TacoBellSucks Aug 4th, 2002 09:10 AM

I have to agree with Brenda, Gail, and Kam . . .Taco Bell truly SUCKS!!!<BR><BR>They should do their customers a favor and give them a map to the nearest emergency room and directions for surviving food poisoning with every purchase . . .

My mom is a high school principal. We NEVER eat at fast food restaruants. We know which families have repeated lice infestations, have alchohol/drug problems...etc. They are all working in the fast food chains. My advice, go home and make your own hamburger.
