    I like Subway (Veggie Delight), but Boston Market will always be my guilty pleasure. :)

    Always wanted to try Chiptole, but we don't have that around here or 5 Guys or In & Out


    I'd have to go with Fazoli's for cheap, easy Italian food when I need a fix and don't want to make a pot of sauce.

    Rallys/Checkers for their fries.

    Nooooo not fazolis!!!! lol their bread is delicious. We have Chipolte here but Ive never had it. I love a place that is comporable here called Willys Mexicana its very close to MOES style food but way better!

    Culvers has hamburgers and frozen yogurt. They call them butter burgers, because they are cooked in butter. They are a chain fast food restaurant started in Wisconsin. They really are the best burgers from a fast food place I have ever had. The french fries aren't the best though.

    Cool. THX for that info

    I have not had any fast food except Subway veggie delite on 9-grain wheat since I began MFP almost 6 months ago.

    OMG! That is EXACTLY like me! That is the ONLY fast food I have had for 5 months, the subway 6" veggie delight on wheat! :laugh:

    Taco Bell. I don't eat meat so I can just substitute beans for the beef with pretty much anything on the menu. More options for me than most fast food places. Love the mexican pizzas. Might go once a month or so.

    ah ha.

    It's a toss up between 5 guys and Fazoli's. I know they are totally different and don't belong in the same sentence but they are my top two.

    Used to be Chic-Fil-A. Something about the butter on their buns and putting pickles with chicken breast. Yum. I haven't had fast food in so long!

    Oh and those twice spun Milkshakes!!!! OMG!

    In and Out. Fresh nevr frozen. I think its the closest hon gto "clean" fast food. if there were such a thing.

    Chipotle, for me. Every other fast food chain is pretty "meh" to me nowadays.

    Is chipotle considered fast food? Ive never had it.

    I don't eat fast food very often. McD's, BK, Wendy's - meh. Even Five Guys. I'm just not crazy over burgers. Domino's, Papa Gino's, Pizza Hut, Papa John's - their pizza just isn't GOOD. I guess I'd go with KFC. They're almost a half hour drive which is why we don't eat it that often. LOVE the extra crispy recipe!

    I only like Fazolis bread. The food is not good to me. I havent had it in years but it wasnt good to me then.

    Zaxby's is walking distance to my house. I only eat it if I jog there. Its about 3 miles away and I love that sauce too.

    Well, I'm guilty of eating fast food but if you watch Food Inc. You might just change your mind about it. The documentary "corn" is a good one too.

    I haven't eaten McDonald in like 5 years or so, I ate BK maybe once or twice in the last 5 years. Taco bell, meh, a few times, Wendys more them most but maybe 2-3 times a year. KFC a few times a year.

    Here is a link to "what to eat at fast food places" http://goo.gl/9fpIL

    If you like In and out burger...watch this: This isnt uncommon with these "big business" meat distributors for fast food.

    I love eating meat, dont get me wrong. I do however respect the food that dies for my nourishment. It deserves to live a happy healthy life until it is slaughtered. Just be careful which fast food you go to. Just saying.

    Taco John's - potato oles and churros! I have no idea if there are any in Canada, but I wouldn't be able to get there.

    Pizza Hut - stuffed crust pizza, boneless wings, deep-fried apple pies :love:

    Domino's - one finally moved within delivery distance and it's our take-out of choice now. They do thin crust which really cuts down on calories and sodium.

    Subway - my 'healthy' fast food with the Sad Sandwich (Veggie Delight, no cheese, no condiments). I do add cheese from home (low sodium type)

    Burger King - original chicken sandwich and onion rings

    Pizza Delight - when hubby wants a change from Domino's. Hard to calculate for pizzas not on their menu.

    Dairy Queen - peanut buster parfait and Reese's mini Blizzard. :love:

    For health & money we don't eat at fast food unless we're on the road, BUT... when we do, it's Subway. Healthy and filling!

    If we splurge, it's Five Guys, but I alwys get sick from all the grease.

    When I go home I get a club and substitute the mayo with honey mustard! Definitely not close enough to JOG lol but that is a great idea.

    I love Chick-Fil-A!!!

    I actually love MOST fast food places for one or two items on each menu. :love: But if I'm only picking one place for the most reasons it would be Chick-Fil-A. I love to cook but having a moment when you can't... well fast food can be pretty great.

    Bojangles - LOVE THE DIRTY RICE and Boston Market - rotisserie chicken, cream spinach and sweet potato casserole LOVE this meal. Neither of these are near me. But I do get Chick-fil-a from time to time

    The truth is 6 miles is never worth it to me so I hardly ever have it. LOL Thats my trick. It is delicious though.

    Oy. In order:
    1. Chic Fil A (but there's not one around me) - Tied with BK
    1. Burger king (I don't much care for their burgers but I like their chicken)
    2. Taco Bell
    3. McDonalds (I know, ew, I love their quarter pounders, BUT I can say I haven't had MCD's in almost a year!)
    4. 5 guys
    5. Wendy's (Really not a fan of them at all)

    We have a local "fast food" restaurant called Dices and although they aren't sit down and they aren't technically fast food, they're fast and their food is good, not greasy and CHEAP. I'm talking a hot dog, fries and drink for under $5.

    Overall, out of every place I can think of to eat, Applebees is BY FAR my absolute favorite.

    Wow you said Hardee's! I used to love Hardee's but it was the only fast food place in my home town for years. Fries are HORRIBLE except for the curly fries. I don't even get the burgers there. I get the hot ham & swiss or a chicken sandwich. The biscuits at the one in my hometown taste like someone's grandma made them LOL Long line inside and the drive thru for breakfast there!

    Thanks. I forgot Little Caesar's - the worst pizza EVER.

    I'd just like to add, these are all places I've eaten at over the course of my lifetime. 52 years this October. Haven't eaten food from any of them, except McD's, Five Guys and KFC, in probably 30 years. Or more.
