but…but taco bells meat is not really meat at all… to quote the Simpsons you promised me cat or higher.
I’m sure I’ve eaten plenty of rat in my day.
Not bad. Stallone shrug
did you know they say that people taste like rats?
I want to vote McD. One of my earliest memory is me stuffing my face with a Big Mac, becoming a big kid in essence. I remember impressing a high school neighbor with how big a bite I could take. d:
But, I lub me some Arby’s Roast Beef melt. Unfortunately while the franchise is numerous in my home town of Richmond, VA, the nearest restaurant is over 35 miles away from Boston, MA and I rely on public transportation. So, I can only get them when I visit family.
I guess I’ll vote McD. I’ve been getting their McRibs recently.
Edit: Yay! We can vote for more than one!
Jon Stewart was bribing Former President W. Bush to come on his show with a McRib.
i don’t think this is the first time that McRib made a come back right? i remember it coming back before.
The way I understand it (because I am always curious and always investigate things of interest), the McRib kind of floats around in the ether, popping up at seemingly random McDonald’s locations for short periods before moving on to new ones. This November run is the first nationwide run of the McRib since 1994, but you have probably had a few chances to eat it in the interim due to the normal nomad distribution of the sandwich.
I wonder if the lower demand for pork due to swine flu had any impact on busting this sucker out nationwide this year.
Triple guilty indulgence of greasy, sugary, sodium sin:
Wendy’s Triple (This burger will make you a man, even if you’re a woman)
McDonald’s French Fries
Burger King’s Chocolate Oreo Shake
You’ll drive quite a bit to put this meal together but it’s worth it.
I voted Wendy’s and Mickey-D’s. I could probably live without BK… They have better burgers than Mickey-D’s though…
We have a Sonic, a McDonald’s, and a BK (and an Arby’s, but yuck) all on the same intersection. You can get all kinds of creative there.
It goes back to 1981!
Edit: The first time I read this thread I thought it said … ‘Fast Food Death March’.
Thanks for the info. I was curious too. But, I am pretty sure I haven’t had one since '94. Whether it’s my luck or lack of observation skills to notice when they were around, I dunno.
Edit: I’m not really bashing Taco Bell, but I’m surprise to see it ahead in the poll. I can’t really speak to the chain because I’ve honestly avoided TB due to it being the butt of all the late night jokes over the years…
I worked at Del Taco, the “other” fast-mex chain in the American West, for a period, and while the meat there was certainly real, it also smelled like a fart when the boil-bag was opened (frozen meat, already seasoned and ground and all that, is in a bag, and then boiled until hot).
Taco Bell is fairly cheap and lots of low-class kind of tasty. And no matter where I go in the US, the “other” local fast-mex chains just are never as good. In the midwest is Taco John’s, who does provide decent produce in their food but is also known more for “potato oles”, which are seasoning salt-topped fried potato crowns than their actual “Mexican” offerings.
That’s my understanding, too.
I have heard that it’s a limited time only thing because it plays hell with the kitchen. Apparently it uses a different heat setting on the grill than everything else they serve.
that tripple combo sounds amazing.
by the way, i am little surprised not that many people picked Wendy’s… is it because there are very few Wendy’s now?
For me, I’ve rarely had something at Wendy’s that would not have been better elsewhere. They occasionally bust out some great jalapeno burgers in the summer, but by and large, their food just comes up short for me. Haven’t had the new fries yet, though.
Living in a big city means never having to eat fast food. I haven’t since college, except for the occasional Subway for lunch. There’s always a tasty food cart to be found through Twitter or a deli on the same block as your office!
When I was a slender, long haired teenager from the suburbs, lo those many years ago, I loved Taco Bell. Until the night, when I was 17, that my friend opened up the lid to her soda to eat an ice chip and found a drowned cockroach in the tasty sugar beverage she had just sucked down. It’s true, folks. I wouldn’t believe it if I hadn’t seen it myself. Haven’t eaten at the Bell since.

Yet another fantastic story about take-out. No matter how many I hear, I still go back. I’m either brave or stupid.
Awww, who am I kiddin’? Me just a fool.
What about brave and stupid?
You know me soooo well.
I try not to do fast food too much, but it pretty much depends on my mood. But a Wendy’s Jr Bacon Cheeseburger with a side salad for under $3 is easy on the pocketbook and the waistline.
But gimme Chipotle any day. Or Subway.
