Arby's buys Wendy's
 

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080424/ap_on_bi_ge/wendy_s

Wendy's has been in trouble ever since Dave Thomas died, and for ever-sucking-more Arby's to buy them doesn't help.

Interesting!

Another merger of sorts.;)

Haqve seen so many Pirates of businesses and it is sad!

So, once again, we can buy from so few and the price will forever go up!

"Where is The Beef"?

I like Arby's but there's only one in DC and I am never hungry when I go by there. :(

Wendy's value menu is the stuff dreams are made of.

Sorry guys, but I think Wendy's is bottom of the barrel. Even White Castle is better.

Anyone up for creating a tiered list of fast food chains?

1st tier
Chick-fil-a
Five Guys

Note: It is intresting to note the regional differences. Example: We have no Del Tacos or Jack in the Boxes in FL! We don't have In-and-Out though but I still listed them

Subway is def. 3rd tier.

Pizza Hut has become 3rd tier over the years. It was 1st tier when dine-in was popular when I was little.

Papa John's is 1st tier.

I see you with your Steak and Shake @DITY...I ate there a couple of times and they are good enough to be 1st tier.


(Maybe I should've said fast food burger-type joints)

There is also Bojangles' (can there be a 4th tier? ;)). I am surprised about Five Guys. I like them. And Chick-Fil-A equals love. lol

Oh yeah, I would consider Hardee's as the bottom of the barrel. The few locations that are left here in Jacksonville are just bad.

Quizno's can't do no wrong. :) Yum.

I have Bojangles' in 1st tier.

Don't make me hurt you! :p (I rarely get to eat fast food so I'm serious about my 1st tier choices :p)

There is a new location that is opening not too far from me. Maybe I will feel differently. It has been a long time since I have been to one. They just always remind me of Church's. :)

Goodness, I haven't been to Church's in 10 years if not longer.

When I was little, my mom used to take us to Church's after church to get a delicious chicken sandwich to hold us over until dinner. :)

A few months ago, I thought Church's shut down, because I never see them. Then I had to start driving to the opposite side of Jacksonville (something I rarely do) for substitute teaching jobs and I see Church's everywhere. It has also been years for me since I remember even going to that place.

1st tier
Papa Johns
Subway
Taco Bell
McDonalds
In-and-Out (although they don't have it in Texas)
KFC
Arby's

2nd tier
Quiznos (only because their broccoli cheese soup is soooooo good)
Burger Kind
Sonic
Long John Silvers

3rd tier
Del Taco
Wendy's
Silver Streak
Pizza Hut
Little Ceaser's
Dairy queen
Chick-fil-A

How in the world can you put Chick-Fil-A in the same category as Little Ceasar's while McD's, Taco Bell, and Papa Johns get put in first tier?!:confused:

Everyone has their opinion, but still....:p;)

Have I not seen whataburger once??

First tier all the way, no contest. Best fast food burger out there by far.

I was totally thinking about them, but I forgot to mention it. It is really good.

OH HECK YEAH!!!

Cries for Value Menu!:(:(

1st Tier:
None

2nd Tier:
Boston Market

3rd Tier:
Everything else

1st tier
Wendy's
Chick-Fil-A
Five Guys
Subway

2nd tier
McDonald's
Krystal
Taco Bell
KFC
Quizno's

3rd tier
Burger King
Church's
Popeye's

Wouldn't touch with a 10-foot-pole
Jack-In-The-Box
Blimpie

I'm very disappointed in you!

I'd put Chickfila, Five Guys, Whataburger, and PJ in the first tier

McDonalds? Seriously? I mean, maybe if this is based on sentimentality. Subway? You must be kidding. Subway is a disgrace to subs, and I don't even like subs.

I like Jersey Mike's subs.

I think Chick-Fil-A is overrated. Its too expensive for food that is baby sized. We have Chick-Fil-A on campus and the nuggets are the size of my thumbnail, and you get like 3 waffle fries---all for like $6-7. But I do like the waffle fries.

I don't know if it is just me but the campus Chick-Fil-A was never as good as the real one (meaning a regular CFA).

I HEART CFA!!!

not DC3 (well, when it was 4)!

you shut your MOUF! Jersey Mike's is hogwash. last resort, for real.

disclaimer: though ive ranked these places, i really do eat them all without judgement. and quite happily, as any fattie would. :)

First Tier
Quiznos (black angus steak yummmmmmmmm)
Chipotle (i hear it was better when it first started and has declined, but still heart it)
Burger King (actually i'd put them as 2nd tier, but i have this childhood nostalgia attached to BK and will eat a Whopper over a Big Mac anyday. and come on! onion rings!)
Johnny Rockets (im a sucker for themed restaurants)
Chik-Fil-A (its allllllll good, even the salad, except the lemonade, its a little too tart for me)
Papa John's (Domino's has small pies and Pizza Hut doesnt deliver around here)
Wendys (they dont make vanilla Frosties)
Au Bon Pan (i dont know if they count as fast food, but their soups are good! and the peach iced tea!)

Second Tier
McDonalds (you know, i couldnt work the nerve to call them first-tier)
Dominos
Subway
Golden Krust (theyre popping up outside of NY - anyone eat from there? however if there's an actual Jamaican restaurant in the area, forget it)
KFC (they got the NERVE to sell apple pies!)
Popeyes (i like their chicken skin lol and the biscuits with the apple jam!)
Pizza Hut (again, if they delievered, theyd be tops)

Third Tier
Checkers (mustard on burgers? no WAY)
Taco Bell (i would not fucc with TB after-hours)
White Castle (you know why... but again, wouldnt fucc with WC after hours, its shady)
Blimpie (never cared for it)
Roy Rogers (reminds me of too many long car rides on the turnpike and on a larger scale, reminds me that people are really DIFFERENT outside of NY)

What? I'm not buying it. The one here makes great sandwiches.

wiat...which franchise has the best FRIES???

McDonald's for regular fries, Popeye's for the Cajun batter fries.

I rather pay $7 for a Chick Fil A meal than any amount of money for anything at McD's, Taco Bell, Burger King, etc. CFA just has better quality of food.

You must have a good one because all the ones I have been to, the chicken is too dry and the fries are too rubbery....
