I love Subway because there's so many different kinds of sandwiches to choose from and many of them are healthy!

I don't eat at McDs too much anymore, but #1 Extra Value Meals (the Big Macs) are my favorite. I love McDs french fries!

I'll go to Taco Bell only if the 24 hr drive thru line at Jack in the Box is too long.

But my favorite...hands down. Where else? LOL. KFC, and I'm not kidding!

I would think twice before eating from a place called "In-and-Out", lol.

I don't think we have any of those around here.

Good: Del Taco, Taco Bell (nachos only!), White Castle, Fazoli's, S'barros, Chick-fila (i love their nuggets and waffle fries), Sonic, Popeye's.

Bad: Wendy's, Arby's, Panda Express, any subway place (especially after what happened to my mom).

I am not a fan of fast food. However, I like Subway and Schlotzky's.

When I lived in New York, I would usually go to Burritoville. They use brown rice and I had a choice of tortilla. Sometimes, I would also go to Cosi

In & Out Burger is so yummy! When I go out west, I make it a point to go there.

I like Taco Bell every once in awhile.

Can someone tell me where there's a Sonic around here? I've seen the commercials a lot on TV but have never seen one in NY. (and they air them in NY?!?) What kinds of food do they serve?

I only eat the chicken nuggets and salads from Mickey D's maybe a cheese burger every now and then.
LOVE subway, fazoils, chillis, taco bell (certain items), backyard burger, cajun grill, carribean sunshine bakery (orlando), wendys and popeyes.

I don't discriminate. I probably like all fast food places. And as far as my health goes. Eating fast food every now and then isn't going to kill me. I don't eat it all the time or anything...but I love it. That's awesome to those who don't eat it. I don't have the time or the discipline.

As far as a favorite---it's hard to say... When i do eat fast food I usually want something different every time. lately it's been Sonic.

Well I'd like to tell you that we do.....but after working there for many years, I'm sorry to say that we don't. However, we more or less like to call it a cult following....

As far as my faves....definately CFA and Subway. I like BK, Wendys, and Arbys but I can't call them faves.

I very much don't like McDs. EWWW!

"Good" fast food: Baja Fresh, Taco Cabana, Wendy's, Subway (love the low-carb wraps!), Boston Market (though I'm not sure that qualifies as fast food). Sadly we don't have Baja Fresh or TC up here.

"Bad" fast food: Mickey D's, Taco Bell ("make a run for the toilet")

A great story from a friend of mine: When she was in high school, she and a few of her friends worked at Burger King part-time for some extra $. One of them got fired. So he went across the street to Mickey D's and got hired there. He still ate at the BK, though... hmm... makes ya wonder...

i worked at Chick Fil A too. After you have seen the sandwiches be made, it aint nothing special anymore. there is a lot of flour and breading mix that goes into the sandwich, but no crack.

i ate so many waffle fries while working there, i could have joined a support group

Just got a job working downtown and have quickly found that we have TONS of fast-food-like places for lunch. The ones that are worth a crap are not chains (or at least, they are not that I'm aware or are very small).

For sandwiches, I go to Neptune's. Sometime next week I'm going to try and stop in at this Brazilian restaurant that has some great salads, sandwiches, etc. I get lots of sushi... It's all pretty good stuff.

Occasionally, I'll make a trip to Arby's. I guess that's the only real fast food place I've been lately.

As for traditional fast food, the only time I have to get some real greasy crap is after (or during) a night of consuming large amounts of beer. Taco Bell just hits the spot for some reason on those nights.

I agree with the Subway. My mom and I had the exact same sandwich except she had lettuce on hers....she ended up in the emergency room on our way from Colorado Springs, Co to Casper, Wyoming. Not a fun trip.

Another bad one is Toxic Hell. Some of my sisters call it diahrria *I can't spell tonight*.....cause it makes everyone around here sick that eats there. There are WAY too many of them in Greeley!

I love, love, love Chic fil a. We don't have one here though, the closest one is in Fort Collins....stupid people! *grrr* I love Sonic as well, when I lived in Tennessee I liked the Unicorn Restaurant out of Jonesboro. My parents owned it, maybe I'm a little biased.

I'm in love with salad lately so this isn't going to be all about the grease!

McDonalds: I loooove the new premium salads! They rock so much and the fact that I can either be healthy or satisfy my grease craving by choosing either grilled or crispy chicken makes my day!

Wendys: I love their Chicken Spinach Salad with the Sweet & Sour Bacon dressing. It's like being at a real restaurant!

Arbys: I love the new Martha's Vineyard salad and you can't pass up their roast beef!

I'm also a huge fan of Panera (their greek and fandango salads are delish!) and Quiznos. When I'm in Cincy I also LOOOOVE me some Chipotle! It's boring if you don't like burritos...but hey I love burritos! I also love Qdoba when I'm in Indy for their Salsa Verde on a Steak Quesadilla.

I forgot to add Biscuitville! Their breakfasts are the best ever. I ate there every morning before high school, and my roommates and I were regulars on weekend mornings in college.

I also miss Panera. Their I.C. Cappucino Chip is the best drink EVER! Go try one

I miss them now because I'm 100 miles from a Panera
