I was watching Super Size Me in a class recently. Never seen it all the way through.

Speaking of fries. I liked when he put the big mac and fries in a jar along with a burger and an order of fries from a local restaurant. After a month the big mac and the fries looked the exact same sitting in the jar. The local cooked food was unrecognizable from decay and mold. After 8 weeks the McD's fries still looked the exact same, Big Mac was just starting to show mold.

Unreal.

So pissed they closed all the B-Bops over here.

Hate McD's except when I'm in the mood for greasy fries.
Wendy's is not my first choice, but I'll deal.
If we have to eat fast food (and by fast food, I mean anything with a drive-through) we prefer Arby's and Culver's over most others. And by we I mean my husband because I haven't had the desire for fast food for the last, oh, four months.

I had some Green Chicken Chilli and a turkey ranch and swiss sub on whole wheat from Quizno's for dinner. :) It was fantabulous.

I've never understood the attraction of Wendy's. I think their food is pretty awful. I'd rather eat at Hardee's -- and I agree with the folks who put Hardee's at the bottom of the barrell, although their double cheeseburger is really good.

I don't know that I could put much in tiers. I don't like subs or sandwiches, so I don't really care for Subway, Quiznos, Jersey Mikes and the like.

Of the burger Places, 5 Guys is good, but expensive comparitively speaking. McDonalds is at least "safe" in terms of knowing what you'll get.

Chik-Fil-A is supposedly a little healthier than some other places (and at least their kids meals don't have toys that will do nothinhg but gather dust after 4 hours), but the food is all pretty bland, and I hate their fries.

My first tier would probably be:

Bojangles
Moe's
Chipotle
(In KSig RC's words) The Local Flame-Grilled place
And if they were still around, the old Roy Rogers -- boy do I miss the Double R-Bar Burger.

After that, I don't get too excited about any of it.

Mmmmm...a Taco Bell bean burrito or fresco style crunchy taco would be great right now!

If I was feeling really naughty I'd eat an Arby's beef and cheddar and cheese fries. Hmmmm...

*back to eating my bowl of cereal and apple*

That's my favorite menu item there, hands down.

My husband figured out I was pregnant with my first child even before I told him because I suddenly started craving Taco Bell burrito supremes with extra sour cream - and I couldn't stand Taco Bell before that.

McDonald's fries were good when they were cooked in beef tallow. Now they are awful.

Bellaire Broiler Burger near Houston is sooooooo gooooood. In labor for my third child the only "push present" I wanted was a tasty Cheeseburger from BBB. And their onion rings!!!!

That's about the only thing I ever want to eat at Wendy's! I love McDonald's fries fresh out of the fryer.
