I'd see it at the Drafthouse.

  It's weird...while I don't eat fast food on a regular basis and know it's horrible for you I still consider it a treat. Especially Wendy's burgers/fries/frosty or McDonald's breakfast once or twice a year. I probably only have it once or twice a year because that's how long it takes my digestive system to forget what happened the last time I ate it...

Greasy dead cow with fries so soaked in WD40 they ooze the shit when you squeeze them a treat!!!!     but I don't eat fast food, unless you consider Baja Fresh fast food, each to their own though....but a TREAT? Come on! Convenient when you're in a hurry maybe, but how can you call it a treat? [/b]

When we were kids we always ate at home.  Only exceptions were vacations (usually) and when my parents had bridge and my mom was cleaning the house.  Then dad would take us to McDonalds.  We viewed that as a treat, not eating at home, fries, all that.  Eddie Murphy has a great comedy routine about McDonalds burgers.

We tried the Quiznos when it first opened in Aspen Hill....THAT SHIT IS NASTY!
 
 What about Chicken Out or Boston Market......fast food, junk or what?

Boston Market is also owned by McDonalds, so it is inherently evil in some circles.
 
 Nutritionally, those places aren't as bad as greasy burger joints:

looks like you could eat ok at boston market/chicken out as long as you are sensable about sides and avoid skin.
 
 and avoid soda too. talk about something that has no redeeming value. surprised no one takes aim at pepsi

[jkeisenh]

Ah, soda.
 So, a friend of mine used to work for the Center for Commercial Free Public Education and they were all about bashing Pepsi and Coke for their "marketing strategies."  As in, machine placement deals, sponsoring sports equipment, donating textbooks, etc.
 
 At one point in time, Coke was donating math text books for middleschoolers that was about "If you take a two liter of Coke, that's X ounces, and divide it into can sized containers, at Y ounces each, how many cans cans of delicious coke could you fill?"

all the coke placement in math books still wouldn't encourage me to do math homework.
 
 mmmmm, coke.

That's so funny...there's a quiznos in my office building, so when I started here and it was raining, etc., I'd go there.  Yuck.  There could be a hurricane and I'm getting across the street to Cosi's.  No matter what you get, all the quiznos "subs" taste the same....  There aren't any Chicken Outs around me, but I've been a couple times and there are so many choices that it seems like you can do fine there.

part of my chicken out experience was ruined by not getting what i ordered from either the one in mclean or the one in reston. and the meat was of poor quality. also, the guys working were rude to me in reston. screw that.
 
 alot of people don't like quiznos, but i hear alot of different reasons. to each his own, but you can't beat a pickle/pepper bar in my book    like i said, i really don't go out much, at least to places that don't have beer

[godsshoeshine]

also, if i really want a sub just to have a sub, i usually order from mom's in arlington or something

[mankie]

I don't eat meat so get the side order sampler at Boston Market....that's  not bad, although their portions are so unpredictable. One time you'll get a smidgen, then the next enough to feed a small country.
 
 I must say though, the chicken does look a bit greasy sat there on the counter.
 
 On the subject of poor service/morons getting the order wrong. Pappa Johns in Aspen Hill is my favourite. They're so bad we actually enjoy ordering there just to see how badly they can fuck it up and how obnoxious they can be when we call them back to tell them.....it makes for quite an entertaining evening. We even place bets to see how many toppings they get wrong.

when i ate fast food more often, i had to stop going to burger king. it was the only drive thru in my neighborhood at the time (back in pittsburgh), and the would always put mayo on my whopper.
 
 we got such bad service in a manhattan restraunt once that we missed blonde redhead opening for sleater-kinney. bummerville

[mankie]

When I was a carnivour I always thought Wendys mad the best burgers....they're the square ones right? Anyway...whoever it was who made the square burgers had the best.
