the Noodles around here aren't bad, but they definitely were better like a decade ago when they still were newish and gave a poo poo. the Japanese pan noodles are ok because they have big, fat, chewy udon noodles.

Avoid Subway and Panda Express unless you are in an existential starvation crisis.

Cold fast food is an abomination and unclean.

Sushi is not a fast food.

Nutritional values shall never be available at Checkers.

Taco Bell and IHOP shall be glorious after six beers and 11PM.

Chik-Fil-A is lame for proudly advertising gluten free options and then bullshitting when it comes to avoiding cross-contamination. i have celiacs and usually pull up findmeglutenfree.com before going out to eat to get an idea of what i can order. this normally isn’t a big deal, but fast food restaurant reviews are so inconsistent on that site.
Chik-Fil-A only has dedicated fryers at select establishments, so a lot of the five star reviews are just people going “gently caress yeah!! i’m eatin fries today!!!” and i’m so happy for them. meanwhile you have someone doing a NIMA test on their order, it comes back positive for gluten, one star.

i’m hating on Chik-Fil-A specifically because people hear about it being gluten-free so they bring it up to me and then i have to explain that there are gluten-free options but they’re not exactly free of gluten so it’s not worth it. also, the owners hate gay people and i don’t care for that

I miss when Mcdonalds made all their food in advance and kept it under the lamp. It’s just as likely to suck these days, only now you have to wait for some idiot to slap it together in front of you. Also props to their head office for not figuring out that you’d still need to staff a bunch of tills even when they added the self service touchscreens: humans still prefer to order from a real person, especially the four hundred old people who just want to chill out with some cheap coffee and a muffin.

Why the gently caress does Chipotle even exist? Like, at all? This isn't Britain or one of those other stupid European countries where Mexicans fear to tread, this is America. Why do people go nuts for it when you can find a genuine Mexican restaurant even in Assend, North Dakota?

And don't bring up Taco Bell to me. Taco Bell hasn't pretended to be anything resembling actual Mexican food in decades, and they're all the better for it.


I grew up in North Dakota and this is very wrong (though, slightly less wrong in 2020 than it was in 1990). And please don't take this as a defense of Chipotle, it's both more genuine than North Dakota Mexican food, yet at the same time, way less satisfying. gently caress Chipotle (and Qdoba its the exact same poo poo)

No seriously gently caress Chipotle (and all the derivatives). No one west of Kansas City has any excuse to be eating this poo poo — just bland and room temp chicken, chewy as gently caress beef (don’t even ask about the time they tried to do Carne Asada) mixed with 90% rice and weird liquidy sour cream.

It’s not good and if you just want to fill your stomach for $9 have some self respect and go to Taco Bell or get some scoop Chinese food, or something.

Even that sauce that they are so self-hyped on that you have to give up a side to get a second container is pretty bland. I like their lemonade though, although that's just because it's the type of lemonade that I used to make myself when I was a kid (extremely watery).

gently caress Jack in the Box' onion rings, and Sonic's. Both are trash and every location I ever tried for both always tasted the same: bad breading, dirty rear end oil.

Most fast food places cannot do an onion ring for poo poo, which pisses me off because I like them as my go-to trash food.

Chipotle/Qdoba are definitely not "Mexican food". They're a fully customizable burrito, so you can get one with corn salsa, a shitload of cilantro, olives, whatever on the inside. I don't expect that from an actual Mexican place, I expect Meat+Rice+Beans+Maybe Green Chili and no substitutions, but much tastier.

Moe's is like a solid 25% tastier than either, but we have a local chain (Illegal Pete's) that's the same poo poo but slightly better than all of them, so gently caress Chipotle.

I genuinely don’t get the hate for Panda Express. At least half of the entrees are perfectly adequate and a few are legitimately good.

The rice and chow mein are meh but fine if you mix with the entrees

Denver represent.

And 25% is a great number to mention because Illegal Pete’s is about that much more better than the national burrito chains. Which is to say not a ton but at least it’s edible. And the bar is legit.

Come to think of it, I think some Colorado style green chile would help the big chains if they adopted it and didn’t gently caress up the preparation too much (heh), just to add some moisture to those dry meat and rice burritos.

I just saw a commercial for Wingstop, which reminded me of the time I ordered in a 5-piece garlic parmesan tenders & fries and the tenders were so salty I couldn't finish them. That's the only time I ever had Wingstop though, so maybe it's usually good, I don't know.

From the few times I've had boneless/tenders I've noticed them to be a lot saltier than the normal wings. It's probably in the breading they use.

Yep. I went there twice in the past two years and it was the same. I thought the first time was a fluke. It was so salty it was inedible. And my friend actually requests more of their salt on the side. I love love love salt and this was just ridiculous.

It's been a while since I've had wingstop but I don't remember the boneless wings being any more salty than other similar fast food chicken products.

also the cajun sauce has been my favorite, it's just their buffalo but with cajun dry seasoning too
