This may surprise you, but fast food is not necessarily less healthy than cooking at home! Most fast food chains get a bad wrap, but I’ve been eating them (though not every day) for most of my adult life, and I’m not overweight.
Note the fat in a steak or ground cooked at home. It is at 85%! The microwave pizza, Tater Tots, cinnamon buns and not negotiation of calories, either. And what of the two spoon sauce is poured over this enormous mound of mashed potatoes every Thanksgiving (or, worse, every Sunday)!
Come now. We all know that fast food is not “all that and a bag or chips. However, I must admit that some of it is much more satisfying than the rest. Personally, I like Chik-fil-A in my local mall. The food is really top quality and service, very friendly.
But no, that is so great?
1) Taco Bell. Usually no more fat ‘that possibly other, however, the food lacks luster … and flavor!
2) McDonald’s. It has always been a horrible excuse for food. However, you have to admit – a (literal) ton of fans travel on this bus explodes!
3) Dairy Queen. R-u-u-u-n! This pump not only fails to deliver anything remotely resembling a hot dog, – the soft ice cream, which are better known, is in the opinion of this reviewer, a total bust! (For a Carvel ice cream, if you can …)
4) Sonic. This giant has the feel of a 7-11 and the last time I visited, I sat in his small yard, “and no joke … did not even bother to notice me after so long as twenty minutes. Finally I left in disgust. Is catatonic or rent, what?
* Customer must be impressive, especially when competing with food and prices that are little more than a tribute to mediocrity menu itself!
5) Quizno’s Subs. Day-old scrolls, poor service (late), and you need a pair of binoculars to find the meat (if you can call it that)!
Pizza 6) Little Caesar. Sky high prices and very low coverages ,…” me crying Where’s the pepperoni?
7) Dunkin ‘Donuts. Really slipping. Although his specialty – coffee, taste weaker by tomorrow morning. Donut selection is not at all what it used to be! The most popular are gone before I can get there! (Of course, I admit, I occasionally sleep in)
Checker. Lousy food! Drink plenty of “Pepno” with you. Pretty fair shake, though (if that’s what they’re calling these days).
9) Long John Silvers. Please! You call that a chicken wing?
10) Papa John’s Pizza. On a scale of 1 to 10, I’d give this a 7, but that still leaves much room for improvement before I would pay the price again. The problem is the sauce. This is not the taste, no. It is notable absence! The bark is still “Premo”, meat and cheese are passable, and the small peppers, – ah-hh, the prize in Cracker Jack! I just want more SALSA! It’s like the Mohave desert here!
