NFT: McDonalds - Burger King - Wendy's?

Sean : 7/17/2017 7:48 pm
Let's keep it to these 3, what are you choosing?

McDonalds nuggets & fries are very good.

BK burgers and onion rings? Yes!

Wendy's spicy chicken sandwich is fantastic.

What do you think?

I haven't eaten at any of them much the past 10-15 years

only when the situation pretty much demands it (everything else is closed, too remote, etc.). Mostly because of dietary requirements, not wanting to eat too much or get too much salt.

One thing I have noticed, the past decade they've done a LOT more tinkering with their menu items than they had in the past. I'm guessing due to competition (although it's possible that the changes are cost driven).

Not sure if it's just me getting older, but I used to really enjoy a Whopper, now not so much. Big Macs weren't bad either, but they feel a lot more processed than they had before. And the Wendy's grilled chicken sandwich seems nothing like what they originally had, which is a shame. Their chili and a grilled chicken sandwich were my go-to when there was nothing else around and I was trying to keep it on the low side.

Same here - walking distance and my kids love it, but it's basically Five Guys and a cost multiplier.

beatrixkiddo : 7/18/2017 9:49 am : link
far ahead of everyone. But I agree that either they have been going downhill or the others are catching up. I put it Wendys 1A to McDonald's 1B, and McDonald's beats them in certain categories.

The most disappointing thing was when Wendy's decided to get rid of the Twisted Frosty. I went there multiple times a week for those babies.

Sometimes you're in a rush and you're on the road and you need to eat something - that's why they call it "fast food"

Yeah, there are other options, but in some cases it's just the most convenient thing.

I would never choose to eat fast food if I had the time to prepare something better myself or just order something way better, but it happens.
Out of those 3, which I go to 1 time a year if even that, I would  
PatersonPlank : 7/18/2017 11:39 am : link
easily pick the BK Whopper. That is my go to fast foot burger (if I don't got to Whataburger, In&Out, Freddies, Chapps, etc.).
I dont do it

but the correct answer is Popeye's

Fast Food  
Simms : 7/18/2017 12:10 pm : link
MD = Fries
BK = Burgers
Wendy = Frosty's

Other choices better then the above
Rut Hutts = hot dogs
Five Guys = Burger and Fries
Chic Fila = Chicken Sandwiches and Shakes

Road Warrior Picks
White Mana Burgers
White Castle Burger
every now and then when I'm on the road  
feelflows : 7/18/2017 12:26 pm : link
I will want to try a regional chain.

So far...Culver's is the best.

"a better brand of beef makes a butter burger better"

oh, and custard.

Wendy's spicy chicken sandwich is legit fantastic  
Deej : 7/18/2017 12:34 pm : link
but I havent had one in years.

Only think I eat at any of these places now is coffee and an egg sandwich from McDonalds. Their egg sandwich (particularly the egg white one) is a sneaky "healthy" option when you're travelling.

Yup!

I'm going to eat steak, smoke cigars, and drink too many beers and probably cash out by 75. Give up everything and maybe I'd make it to 85 and get to use a walker and a diaper while bragging about my age.

It's not too hard to understand. If your on the road with a family with children and you don't want to stop at a full blown restaurant and waste an hour or two it is a practical option.

That said I try and not eat fast food much anymore, and if I do there are often better options than the three listing in this thread but that was what he asked us to reply about.

I know, it's the fear mongering I'm talking about. I don't think a grown person alive thinks fast food for the most part is a healthy food choice, yet I also don't know many people who believe that eating it for convenience once in a while will send you to the morgue or cause you to become obese.

Maybe you didn't hear about it, you've been away a long time. They didn't go up there and tell you. I don't shine shoes anymore.

that and I'm pretty sure you didn't understand my point.

Try it with a couple of Newports and a 4Loko. Makes everything better.

Also - I'm on team Arby's. They have the meat.

That's true.

I think I had a spicy chicken sandwich a few weeks ago, so I'm probably going to gain 200lbs from it, lose function in both kidneys and wind up with diabeetus.
