Favorite Fast Food Restaurant?

[HypErcApitAl]

Whataburger. McDonalds is a close second. Taco Bell is third-place, though also a close second. I also like Popeyes, but Popeyes would derank Whataburger so I'm putting them as Fourth for now.

Japanese fast food tastes quite different from the fast foods of other countries.

Their burgers in particular, seem to have a greater focus on freshness but the taste is more natural. It’s less strong as well.

Probably has something to do with Japan having vastly lower standards than most first world countries when it comes to beef regulation.

It gets most of it's beef from the US and Australia, so I'm not sure how fresh it actually is.

Oh so the beef is actually bad?

Actually, I just looked into it and I'm mistaken.

It's the milk that's questionable. They don't regulate bovine growth hormone in dairy cows at all.

The beef is probably fine. But probably not fresh.

"Fresh" beef is awful, tough and gamey. The main difference between beef tastes is whether it's "hung" in a cold room, or made into cuts, vacuum packed and aged in the package. The latter is more common, because it's cheaper. The former is better imo.

Of course it's not that simple: what the cattle eat also influences the taste. Australia has some of the best beef in the world because a lot of our cattle graze instead of being grain fed (though often they're fattened up for market on grain). The US also has grazing cattle but being a smaller share of the market, free range beef is more expensive.

Fast food joints in Japan probably buy the cheapest beef they can get. Fed mostly on grain (bland) and vacuum packed instead of hung. But not necessarily: the yen is very strong against other currencies and with the cost of cold shipping added on, they might actually be using the good stuff.

I'll go with KFC
Their Zinger Burger is the best and their french fries aren't too soggy like McD or Wendy's

In order to ensure the local industry, Japan raised the beef tariff of the United States, New Zealand and Canada to 50% in 2017.But their local beef production is low. Therefore, the price will be higher because fine breeding is adopted.In April this year, A4 beef in Japan sold for $15 a kilogram, which has even dropped by 30%. I don't think we can get cheap and delicious beef in Japanese fast food restaurants.The same with fruits and vegetables.Japanese watermelons are sold by piece.

Thanks for that info. Australia enjoys slightly preferential treatment: 27.5% (frozen beef) and 30.5% (fresh or chilled beef) as of 2016. I don't think it's changed since then. Still by no means fair trade.

there was this small fastfood joint I went to when I was visiting the states. I think it was called Jollybee or something. They served rice as an item for fastfood, it was amazing. Wish they were bigger though.

Ah, Jollibee, you mean? It's a Filipino fast food chain, my country's largest. I don't know about the rice -- not a fan of fast food rice myself, for reasons best appreciated on a market basis -- but I prefer the spaghetti myself.

wait, i have to go to philippines to see these things like a mcdonalds?

I see...

How do you know so much about beef? Is this an interest of yours?

[Briteannia]

I agree with the first comment. KFC is soo good IMO.

I second this

My favorite order is the classic two piece (one chicken leg, one chicken breast) with mash potatoes and Pepsi

What is your top order?

Sorry for not replying,but mune is also the classic two piece

Burger King(I like the Crispy Chicken sandwich.)

[Destructive Government Economic System]

Probably Taco Cabana

Fresh ingredients, great meat, and generously sized soda cups. Their steak quesadillas are especially good

I ordered a McDonalds chicken buckets last week and I was absolutely horrified at just how unbelievably MASSIVE the chicken legs and wings were.

I mean, that leg... it was almost half the size/thickness of a small dumbbell.

Wow...

Chicken buckets huh? I guess that's only in Asian McDonald's I assume?

Yes, although Jollibee has moved into the international market, it is still fairly uncommon outside the Philippines (where it is everywhere, like MacDonalds in the US). You will most find Jollibee outside the Philippines in just select localities with a large Filipino population. In the US places like Navy Base areas, and in a few neighborhoods in certain cities like Las Vegas.

Jollibee has a limited presence in this city. It’s always packed at peak hours.

I like the chicken fingers.

Panera Bread is my favorite. They have excellent variety

They any good? There is one by the port authority bus terminal.

My favorite restraunt is Chick-Fil-A. Yes, I know about the LGBTQ+ controversies about them, but that doesn't affect their godly chicken sandwiches.
