Once you get past the crispy part, KFC tastes like water's other solid form.
"...I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season." -MLK Jr.

There’s a fast food version?


I know maybe one place in my city that sells it. It also sells it with like barbecue? But they’re very good. A family tradition of my family upstate is once a year to bake a crazy amount of pierogie. Always great.

Tried In-N-Out on my last day in California for a spring break vacation. It was really good. Also tried a Whataburger on my way back from New Orleans in Alabama (it was also really good).

So ...what's the difference between the two sides?

Mainly the regional food served in Chinese McDonalds and KFCs. Chinese McDonalds serve youtiao, though I've heard they're serving the fried dough sticks in the US as well (I even got to taste it).

Jimmy Johns.

It's popular to hate on Jimmy Johns in some circles, but I've always enjoyed my meals there, and I've never felt guilty afterward.

It’s not really a combination meal, it’s like a better Polish dumpling. So, whatever you like, I guess. Although, it is pretty dry sometimes, so maybe not a dry drink. I know it sounds dumb, but there are not dry drinks and dry drinks.

Smokes Poutinerie seems to be pretty fast food-y to me: it's not quite casual to not be a fast-food restuarant.

Mostly because its founder and CEO is somewhat controversial in some circles because of his past as a big game trophy hunter in Africa.

IIRC they've had locations closed because of poor sanitation, and corporate has engaged in some shady practices.

In their defense, all of the ones I've gone to have been clean and orderly.

They do make great poutine: I'd order in from them every day if I could, even if it means I die at the age of 27. God did not make the ingredients just so they can rot on the vine after all, no, they were meant to be made into delicious perogy poutine so it can get into my belly.

Indeed, the orderliness of both kitchens and eating space is important

Some fast food places can be quite filthy :)

Pretty sure if it doesn’t come from America it’s not real fast food.

Popeyes is best for a chicken sandwich, McDonald’s is best by default.

Then the pecking order goes Chick-fil-a, Taco Bell, Sonic, White Castle, Wendy’s, Burger King, KFC, and finally Subway, though I’m not sure sandwich shops should be counted as fast food. I don’t know much about In-n-Out but it’s probably in Chick-fil-a’s league.

My brother used to be a big fan of Subway. But like me, we over-ate that stuff in college :)

Now we’re less fond of it
