its worth it to go to pei wei just to see how bad human beings are capable of making food. it's the ed wood of restaurants.

pei wei isn't very good but it's way better than Panda Express. gently caress that garbage. my roommate will drive to the mall to get Panda Express, passing by at least four authentic, good chinese places on the way. he is so milquetoast.

I can't think of a single fast food place that I hate enough to mention for this thread. And I really tried. Fast food best food

When I'm slumming it here on the front range, I often reach for a Smashburger



Their fries are really good, super thin cut and they're done up in olive oil and rosemary. Eat them first

Another good option one tier up from Smash, if you're on that side of town, is Larkburger



Most of these places sell beer, too.

If these places seem snobby or 'too nice for fast food', you live in a shithole. Move.

e: if there is a place that is not a loving chain and you have the time and money, go there. this is basic civilized human nature

Larkburger is only in Colorado though and everyone flies over Colorado. I lived there and went there a lot and it is good though, just expensive.

Edit - remembered one I really hate..panera bread. Place sucks and has got to go. Their paninis are boring and poo poo and their decor scheme is obnoxious.

Panera is lovely garbage as is all of the 'fresh casual' clones of them. The only upshot to them is that you can cater a work lunch or take everybody there, and everybody can find something that they can eat while grumbling

We have random chinese restaurants of the "Golden Something" variety, and the orange chicken was goddamn terrible. It had loving HUNKS of ORANGE RIND in it. Not the zest. THE BITTER loving RIND.

Let's see, what other places are loving garbo:

-Little Seizure's is the shittest of poo poo-tier chain pizza. Becomes inedible in a very short amount of time, not that it was very edible to begin with. A friend of mine works at one.

-Subway. Worst sandwich shop, if I want a chain I'll go to Wawa—their poo poo's cheap, they have more variety, and Actually Tastes Good™

-Arby's. Their sandwiches are sad and shameful.

-Five Guys. Goddamn greasebucket with the saddest, limpest fries I've ever seen.

-Taco Bell is generally awful, though their frito burrito wasn't bad for some shameless munchin'

-Golden Chick. Just not a fan of it, but I've only seen it in Austin.

I like Panera's sandwiches ok but goddamn if it isn't the whitest yuppiest fast food chain.

Like everyone with a middle management position convinced themselves it's not really fast food because there are no bright primary colors so it's ok to eat there.

panera is actually way better than most fast food, sorry you'd rather eat McDonald's fatso

turkey bacon sandwich with a bowl of French onion soup is pretty satisfying when you're in the mood for it and ain't no other fast food place with that on the menu

Sonic is pretty terrible unless you have some kind of hardon for tater tots, but even then they have this weird sweet flavor to them like a deep fried twinkie.

Gonna have to agree here, it wasn't awful but it definitely just tasted largely of... stuff. They're big burritos, which is the selling point for most folks I guess.

Dunno chipotke is pretty OK. Do you get salsa? I see a lot of white people not get any salsa there an that just confuses me. Tomatoes and corn aren't salsa BTW they're just tonatoes and corn

I went to Taco John's in Montana last week after it was described as "Taco Bell but greasier". Who the hell puts nacho cheese, sour cream and 'potato olés´ in a burrito? Good news is I didn't feed like eating again for eight hours.

Also it took the employees about 5 goddamn minutes to make one burrito.

פיקנסין (Pikansin) is a horrible little asian fastfood chain in Israel that was so terrible even kid me didn't like it. Don't know how it's doing now as it's been more than a decade since I've eaten there, but from skimming online reviews it's probably about as terrible (but now with sushi!).

I've never seen a Steak n Shake without a drive-thru. They just entered the online ordering game for some reason. But going through the drive-thru takes longer than most places, because they fix it when you order. Amazing shakes, good burgers, poo poo fries.
