What's your favorite fast food restaurant and why?
For me, it varies with the particular meal/time of day. I eat a lot on the run because we are always on the road shooting videos all over.
McDonalds is my favorite for breakfast because of the egg McMuffin. After all these years, no one can beat it. The sausage McMuffin is my second favorite, but when I am driving and eating behind the wheel the sausage McMuffin becomes #1. I have given up eating burgers at Mcdonalds. Their cookies are pretty good and shakes are out of my diet.
Carl's Jr. I think has the best burgers. I love their Western Bacon Cheeseburger with the onion ring and the barbecue sauce. And I like their cheesecake. I spend a lot more on cheesecake at other restaurants, but the Carl's cheesecake is just as good at a fraction of the price. The chocolate chip cookies have been a family favorite for years. The onion rings are good but I don't eat bags of them as I used to.
In N Out. I don't know what all the hoopla is all about. I don't think the burgers are that good and the menu is limited. I prefer just getting a grilled cheese there.
Jack In The Box. Now there's a place for great grilled cheese sandwiches!! But some of their restaurants don't make it right. The Jack in Torrance near the 405 is not good at making the sandwich. Often the cheese isn't melted enough and they make it like toast with a couple of slices of cheese stuck in the middle. The Jack off the 15 freeway at Bundy Road near Temecula makes a great grilled cheese. So does the Jack in Woodland Hills on Ventura near Winnetka. I also love Jack's cheesecake, chocolate overload cake, and the Chicken Teriyake bowl. I don't like Jack's burgers and their breakfast sandwich with the egg, bacon and ham is pretty darn good.
Chick Fil-a. Great chicken sandwiches, and I like 'em simple: regular (not spicy chicken) with cheese. Great food. Great, extreme desserts too. Always clean and bathrooms are impeccable. I don't care about the "political opposition" -- I'll eat there whenever there is one nearby.
Burger King. Also like their burgers. But to be honest, I haven't been at a BK in a while. Back when I lived and worked in Miami, BK which had its headquarters in Miami, used to have a "test restaurant" near where I lived in West Kendall. Nothing beat their "breakfast bar" which was loaded with various toppings for your pancakes. Too bad that didn't continue. I went through college eating Whoppers. I also dated a secretary to one of the execs at BK years ago. What a great looking blonde. But that's another story.
Wendy's. I've been eating at Wendy's lately. Good chicken sandwich. I never cared much for their burgers. But their baked potatoes loaded with cheese and broccoli are great.
