New fast food discussion/review thread - Page 1950 - Other Topics Forum - Discuss Pop Culture, Arts and Entertainment

I think the fast food dinner was kind of a cool idea for a bunch of 18-22yo dudes. I’m going straight to the Big Mac pile and scraping the Mac sauce onto a Wendy’s burger.

i get splurging here and there but they are also athletes (apparently good ones overall), and grabbing your boxes of food is about as bad as it gets. there could have been way more options than burgers. why not some subway trays? moes/chipotle build your own tacos? a salad bar instead of prepacked.

or foot the bill for a real dinner. a family friend does a mortons buffet party every year and he doesnt have trump money

I'm sure some advisor didn't want him to get compared to Fuzzy Zoeller.

No one's posted anything political, the POTUS had the biggest FF feast ever posted in this thread about fast food discussion and people are discussing it.

That Big King XL is just absurd, 8.8 oz of beef.

Went through a McD that was advertising some limited time 'international' items, a couple of burgers, cheesy bacon fries and stroepwaffle mcflurry. Did not try.

I would mention Smashburger has really high quality greens, been going side salad as my go to side and time and time again the greens are fantastic.

I still would never pay 8 bucks for their big burgers or chicken but they are high quality and are super consistent (I think this may be highly location dependent though).

My Top 5 smash's are
SPINACH, CUCUMBER & GOAT CHEESE - Grilled Chicken
CLASSIC SMASH™ - Beef
BBQ, BACON & CHEDDAR - Grilled Chicken
BACON AVOCADO CLUB - Grilled Chicken, add raw onion
BACON AVOCADO CLUB - Beef, add raw onion

Would appreciate dmatz's definitive smash side rankings

Currently wondering if there is any fast food item that is a more perfect storm of absolutely terrible for you, visually unappealing, horrible value and super delicious than Little Caesars crazy bread.

I'd try it though.

Bacon Big Macs are coming soon. This should already be a thing.

Speaking of Big Macs, just got the 2 for 5$ deal. The patties were tiny.
I think I'd choose two Whoppers any day.

Also recommend it for frozen chicken nuggets for the little ones (or reheating McD's for those itt), and frozen shrimp tempura.

Basic freezer chicken wings from a grocery store come out much better than I could have imagined going in.

I'd also rather have 2 whoppers than 2 big macs

I tried hash brown patties this morning. They came out perfect. Crispy on both sides and soft in the middle. I highly recommend them to any fried potato fans.

I really like your wings idea. I can't wait to try it. I need to make a trip to Costco...
