Guilty fast food pleasures

Local Bdubs has buy-one-get-one free boneless wings on Tuesday.
For me, that's 24 boneless honey bbq wings for 10$

Chik-Fil-A, I think Dan Cathy is a complete moron but the food is so damn good and Chik-Fil-A employees are so freakin friendly and nice

I dislike fast food greatly, but once in a great while I sneak off to a Carl's Jr. or Chipolte, but prefer local restaurants, cafes, diners and old style pizzerias. We cannot go out as often but we prefer to eat somewhere better evern if it means only five or six times a year.

I don't have a particular favorite at Chipoltes.

At Carl's Jr. I like the Guacamole Burger, (any Angus beef burger, really). Instead of fries I get a Spicy Chicken Sandwich. If they have a soda water dispenser with their fountain drinks, I will fill the cup with soda water and add lots of lemons, if not Dr. Pepper with lots of lemons.

Jack-In-The-Box used to be on the list but no more. Something happened about a year or two ago where they swapped out the components of their food items. It had the same menu but different patties and buns. The hamburger items became more "slimy" as my niece put it. We haven't been back since.

Red Robin isn't really fast food, but if I want a hamburger (BBQ Burger or Gourmet Cheeseburger) and bottomless fries that is where we go.

Who cares? Its cheap and fast. That's what I care about when it comes to food. I don't care about food enough (most of the time) to spend more than ten minutes cooking. Plenty of other more useful things I can spend my time on.

People who want to have a healthy life care. I feel way better cutting regular burgers out of my life and being at a healthy weight. I have more energy, look better, and I'm gonna live a lot longer than I would have. People care about that sort of thing. A lot of people also really like taking their time with food. Half the fun of my meals is cooking them up.

I"m healthy as a horse. I drink, smoke, and eat what I want. I am not overweight, and am on feet all day at work moving around. Food is not fun. It something you have to have to not die. Cooking and long meals are just....a waste of time. So many better things to do!

Cooking and food are actually fun.

[Dumb Ideologies]

I prefer the taste of fast food to pretty much anything else so for me it's not a "low effort" "don't care" option but a real treat in the same way an expensive restaurant might be to other people.

KFC is my usual guilty pleasure, and no I can’t narrow that down further. I literally love everything on their menu.

The other day, work put on such a lacklustre lunch that I stopped at McDonalds on the way home. It was the first time I had eaten their non-breakfast menu in years. Had a chicken Big Mac. It tasted better than the beef one, but I think it upset my stomach because I was up half the night and have had no appetite today.

All hail A&W, best burgers, best root beer.

Also, Poutine is the best thing made by human beings.

You poor unfortunate soul. You really need to come visit Wisconsin some time and try Sprecher, the actual best root beer in the world. They've also got cream and orange sodas that are to die for.

I don't know... Cooking can be fun. sometimes is

You're all a bunch of fucking peasants; Cook Out is king and I will broker no arguments to this effect.

KFC is my usual guilty pleasure..

Back when I ate meat, and got pretty stoned most of the time, once.. once in a rare while.. I'd get an entire bucket of KFC to myself, sit on the sofa in boxer shorts and just grease through the lot.. I really had to be in the mood so it was rarely more than once a year but the buzz from the overload of grease and whatever secret ingredients they used as well as being stoned was.. it's good to be a total pig sometimes.

Chuck a shitty light movie into the mix and it was a decent two hour stint.

^This. I'm convinced part of why Americans are so unhappy compared to other developed countries is that they eat like crap and don't take time to appreciate their food.

Not that there's anything wrong with eating at Popeye's or KFC if you have a craving for fried chicken... It just should be an occasional thing, not a substitute for knowing how to cook.

I love cream soda, but it's so hard to find.

Not in Wisconsin. Come to the frozen tundra, and warm up with an ice cold Sprecher soda!

Wal Marts where I’ve been have usually carried the stuff.

Statistics suggest this isn't true.

Oh no, for that it's new york city, and Dr. Brown's is the winner

Huh. I've never been out there.

Taco Bell was for years our family's fine dining experience, every Sunday. A 7 layer burrito would fill you right up. If not, add a crunchy taco and you're good. Skip the drinks, you can quaff more cheaply at home later. Our family of four ate for twelve dollars or less; now that's democracy. And we felt we had taken our place at the table along with more privileged folks.

Another factor is that our daughter would not eat steak even if we could afford it, so this place was ideal for her.

For my family it was Chick-fil-a. That was considered fine dining, Taco Bell was used whenever we needed a bunch of food on the cheap

Even beyond that they design how many chews you take, any more than 4 chews is generally considered too much, chewing makes you fill full for longer, so better it just slides quickly into your stomach.

As someone who was taught to pretty vacuum my food during boot camp everything for me is less than 4 bites. When I go out to nice restaurants I have to tell myself to slow down or I’ll eat all in record time like I’ve never seen food in my life

[Thermodolia]

Chicken teriyaki with that sauce they ask about (I forgot/forget) wasn't tasteless the last time I remember.
I don't care to defend the other sandwiches.

I guess I wasn't clear: the cheese is tasteless. Provolone, American, whatever you put on it tastes faintly like a rubber eraser.

As someone who can’t eat thick slices of cheese for some reason I have never gotten cheese on anything. Thin melted, practically a glaze of cheese, is all I can stomach

It’s not so much that I was starving but that I had time constraints. I only got about 15 to 20 minutes to eat in boot so I had to eat quickly

There's also that.
