evidently there's a new breed of chicken tender specialists coming around?

I need to try this Cane's ASAP

Don't ask for a specific sauce they only have "Cane Sauce". It's some abomination of ketchup and ranch.

Land of the bland? You have St. Louis style ribs and Budweiser. What more could you want?

I'll give Saint Louis this: Ted Drewes' Concrete is at least twice as good as a Blizzard from DQ.

That looks like copy of Zaxby's which is a copy of Guthrie's.

Hey y'all, what are your favorite sides @ Popeye's besides red beans and rice? I pretty much get cajun fries + RBR 99% of the time, not sure if I'm missing out.

One of the greatest values in all of fast food is back.

My kinda post, usually cajun rice and mac and cheese. Although lately I've been addicted to their mashed potatoes and gravy.

I don't care if it's only ketchup and ranch, the combination is delicious.

Dunkin Donuts: Belgian Waffle Breakfast Sandwich

http://www.dunkindonuts.com/dunkindonuts/en/menu/food/sandwiches/breakfastsandwiches/waffle.html

This is basically a pair of Eggo-sized Belgian (i.e. soft) waffles with egg, cheese, and bacon. The waffles have a light maple-syrup flavor. It's basically like a McGriddle with waffle buns, but not as strong on the mapleyness. It was pretty decent, although bacon was a bad choice for this sandwich because it gets completely drowned out by the egg & waffles (the cheese is also pretty bland). They should have done a round of Canadian bacon - something a little bit more salty & meaty, but still soft enough to easily bite through.

Would I buy it again? Meh. It's not bad enough to avoid, but it's not good enough to go out of my way to get. If it had a strong (better) tasting cheese & a slab of ham or Canadian bacon, it'd be pretty dang good. It would be worth investing one of those plug-in quad mini-round waffle iron presses to make your own if you like the sandwich style; a soft waffle makes a surprisingly good bun. But there are also bagels, kaiser rolls, biscuits, and other things to use that are more common for homemade breakfast sandwiches & don't require much if any effort to make.

What do I want for breakfast? I'm usually not up this early, but I'm heading out the door in a little bit. Other than the occasional burger, a breakfast sandwich or burrito is the only fast food I do.

I wouldn't go out of my way if I were you. It's decent, not great.

Crunchy Cheesy Core Burrito: (chicken)

https://www.tacobell.com/food/burritos/crunchy-cheesy-core-burrito

The commercial made it look pretty appealing, like a savory version of Ben & Jerries "core" ice cream. It's just another burrito. Only 50% of the length of mine even had cheese, and the part with cheese was more like they had used a sandwich spreader to layer it on. No nice round core. I thought maybe it would be kinda like sushi-wrapped or maybe wrapped in a small crunchy taquito or something, because the idea of having a cheesy core is awesome. It's not bad for a Taco Bell burrito, but it's just another burrito. Meh. Actually, it makes me miss those awesome Circle-K & 7-11 burrito's from the 90's.

Worse than that is rice on a breakfast burrito. At least throw some tater tots on it and pretend they're potatoes.

They're coming to LA? My cousin will be happy. Been here in Houston for about 15 years now.

And it's not ranch. It's ketchup, mayo, garlic powder, pepper, and Worcestershire.

Dangit now I want chicken tenders for lunch but I've got my chipotle from hitting 'hot' again

I went from wanting to try one to remembering where it came from and feeling a little nauseous, thanks for saving me the gut rot Carson Dyle!

Just finished our first FiveGuys experience. Ugh. I expected so much more. $28 for 2 burgers 1 fry and 3 drinks. The meat was good not great, the fries were HORRIBLE. On top of that the encourage people to eat peanuts and throw the shells on the floor?

The value just wasn't there for the food we got. I wouldn't eat here again.

 

[Ns1]

Yeah those 5 guys fries are flaccid and complete shit. At least in n out fries are cheap, flaccid, and complete shit.

I tried it. Doesnt look anything like the pic. And it tasted not so great. Shame. looks really good.

Not a fan of popeyes. IMHO, they put too much spice on their chicken and its hot. I like culvers ok. My favorite places to eat fast food are goodcents and schlotzsky's. I like cold sammiches better than burgers and fries. I also like the gyros at arbys.

What? Spicy fried chicken is a gift from the gods. How does someone not like spicy fried chicken? Plain fried chicken is too bland.

 

[Ns1]

Oooh yes

I always wondered who was ordering the mild stuff there

They need a level beyond spicy, but I understand why they don't have one.

Anyone ever go to Mike's Sandwich Shop? F'n love this place, been going since 2001.

Been 3 years since I've been able to go, but was in the area today. Couldn't decide between a Mike's special or a hockey burger. So I ate both and a fries, was so stuffed.

https://www.yelp.com/biz/mikes-sandwich-shop-los-angeles

Da fuq. Just read some of the reviews and sad to see it has apparently been sold and will be closing to be turned in to a 7-11. Well guess that was my final hockey burger .

 

[Linux23]

God Burger King blows. Ordered a double bacon cheeseburger and the burger was so small and dry I just threw it away after two bites.

When your name is Burger King and you can't even make a decent burger then it's time to close up shop.
