    I don't go to Olive Garden. I let other people go to Olive Garden and bring me back breadsticks.

    It's still amazing to me that Olive Garden wasn't salting their pasta water until like last year.

    The McCafe was decent in a pinch when I was in Japan.

    I am not sure if it varies in america.

    But the latte was passable.

    Olive Garden is fine. I like when they have their promotion where you have a dinner there you pick from a list, and then you pick another meal from the list and at the end of the meal they give it to you prepared to be microwaved the next day with instructions.

    Man remember when Fazoli's was awesome in the early 2000's? Their sandwiches used to be way bigger and that's was only half, you could get a full. Also extra breadsticks would be brought around every five minutes. We used to go in and order a drink and eat tons of free delicious breadsticks.

    Now you are lucky if they show up once.

    For the record we did that like twice. Their sandwiches were really good so I got them a lot.

    I don't know if 7-11 still does the chicken caesar wraps, but despite them being 'gas station' food, I remember them being delicious. Although my memory was probably clouded by the fact I had spent a whole day trapped in an airport/airplane with nothing to eat. Anything might have tasted like heaven at that point.

    You're in BC right @Muzzmuzz ? If you're in Vancouver or on The Island the sandwiches are brought in very early in the morning daily to each store. If you're in the rest of the province or in Powell River they are made nightly in store. We still make the Chicken Caesar wrap in my store even though it's been delisted since it's so popular. The rest of the Country and even most of the States are the same. 7-Eleven is really working on the fresh food by either having it sent daily from food centres or made in store.

    McDonald's coffee is pretty good if you're not a coffee snob that requires hand-ground exotic beans and Himalayan, glacial spring water heated to precise temperature and poured slowly through a filter over the course of an hour.

    apparently, their food sales are shit in the U.S. and they're thinking about going full bore on the coffee

    I've seen it in their advertising, that's for sure. I can't remember the last McDonald's commercial I saw that didn't feature something from their McCafe line.

    Food wise though, I think McDonald's shot themselves right in the foot by trying to diversify their menu too much instead of doubling down on the top sellers and improving quality so they'd be closer to equal footing with their competition. I have essentially no reason to go to McDonald's to eat an actual meal.

    Oh, and I tried a McRib for the first time earlier this year. I thought it was *awful*. Never ever ever ever ordering one of those ever again.

    Really both MCd's and Burger king shot themselves after buckling on their cheap stuff
    Burger king after they got rid of the buck double and Mcd's trying to be upper level fast food
    Really it won't work the only reason I went to MCd's is to get a cheap nasty grease pit of a cheeseburger or to burger king to get some greasy circle of meat in a bun falling apart

    I quite liked the Mushroom and Swiss whopper they had recently or that Texas style Whopper [it was a sub style roll with 2 patties A 1 sauce and grease} Neither are on the menu now

    I remember the Texas Whopper fondly. For the short time it existed, it was the sole reason I would go to Burger King.

    Same with the Carl's Jr Bourbon Burger. Some people argued that it was too sweet, and these people were probably correct, but I fucking love sweet and tangy sauces on a hamburger.

    McDonald's is basically 90s Hardee's with coffee I guess.

    I really like Burger King.

    A whopper, some chicken fries, and some regular fries from BK is a good time for me.

    They've got pretty decent bacon for their sandwiches too, as far as fast food go's.

    I want to remind everyone that Hardee's was so diversified that you only went there if nobody could agree on anything, except that they wanted biscuits. Then it got rid of all the fluff as was all "burgers or nothing" and their campaign slogan was how the last place you go for a burger will become the first.

    And Hardee's is definitely my favorite fast food burgers. Five guys isn't quite fast food.

    I am continually stunned by the sheer variety of fast food brands and their availability in america

    sometimes I just want to do a coast to coast US drive where I stop whenever I see a fast food looking place I haven't eaten at before and try it out

    A Hardee's has been the only fast food place in the town closest to me almost since I was born, so there old super broad menu was pretty great back in the day.

    Their burgers they have now are really good, as are their chicken tenders. They can be kinda pricey though.

    I used to order coffee from McDonald's when I was waiting for my ride after rehearsals back in my amdram days.

    When you're standing around at half past eleven in November, it's good coffee.

    Their coffee is better than dunkin' donuts coffee, and if that's true about doubling down on coffee and breakfast, dunkin should be running scared. (DD has a stranglehold on New England. I don't know how people can stomach the coffee or the food, it's Real Bad.)

    Yesterday I went to Carl Jr's and thought about getting the Jalapeño poppers. The guy at the counter said Sonic has better ones.

    Now a joke about Sonic the manager at the one near to me and across the street from work will freak out if you order a burger at 6am
    She will really try to talk you out of it by suggesting healthy alternatives.

    caramel twix are the worst though.

    Actually so are the newer version of Peanut butter twix because the cookie is chocolate instead of normal.

    If I could go back to the 90s and bring something forward with me it'd be the old PB Twix.
