All "fast" food is "crap". What does that have to do with anything?  :lmao:

I recommend finding a soup kitchen somewhere.  Get yourself a nice hearty bowl of Dumpster de jour.

I voted 'other' too, none of the above sound terribly appetising. Couldn't you cook something tasty and quick instead?

"other."

Grab a gyro if they're available in your area.  Otherwise Subway.

At least, that's what I'd do.

One would think I'd be a better cook being such a long time bachelor but alas, it is not so. And one can only eat spaghetti so many times per week, lol. Anywho, I'm a skinny guy, I can afford to eat junk a few times per month.

Boy! You guys are taking all the fun out of this otherwise goofy project.  :p

Wendy's = YECH!!!  The worst of all fast food burgers -- worse than McD's. Worse than Jack.

The others?  Meh -- KFC is on the expensive side.  I don't get to LJS very often but their fish is light enough and a nice break.

If there's a Valentino's near you, which alas there probably isn't, go there.

If no Valentino's just go to the grovery store and pick up a carton of saltine crackers, because that's just as good--but cheaper than--your alternatives.

Hmmm. I have not had saltine crackers (outside of soup) since I was a kid. I used to make jelly sadwiches out of saltines while watching Saturday morning cartoons. LOL

Well, thanks for the thoughts folks, I'm off to... well somewhere. The car will show the way. I'm sure my choice will thoroughly disgust most of you. One wonders how these places stay open.

Of course.  All the other places around here suck scissors (except DQ, which is not handy or cheap).

I say LJS only because they don't have any around here and I miss their hushpuppies.  Plus they're MUCH cheaper than the fish places locally.

If you like good "fast" Greek food, and you haven't been there yet, I HIGHLY recommend you go to Daphne's.

I loved their Fire Feta, and the Gyro Plate was awesome.

Sports bars here are okay.  Food is mostly so-so.  Nothing like a National Sports Grill or Buffalo Wild Wings.  Or Wingnuts in Costa Mesa.

Homemade potato chips with three different dipping sauces...mmmmmmm.  And Far East Nachos--wonton crisps with chicken, olives, onions, and melting cheese...OMG.

No no. I thought I detected a wee bit of fast food snobbery at the start but it may very well have been concern for my health.

No hard feelings all. (I'm eveyone's friend after a couple beers of course)  :p :p
