So I'm headed out to Mini-Snags' school earlier today. I like to pop in every so often and bring him some lunch. Mini loves some tacos from Taco Smell. On the way to the school, there's this combination Taco Smell/KFC I'll drive through and pick him up a couple. This time, the drive through line was packed so I went in. As I walk in, the first thing I notice is an old dude and his wife eating at a table. The guy is the spittin' image of Colonel Sanders. Even tried to snap a shot of him but it was a little obvious and he kept looking up at me.
Anyway, I took that as an omen..a sign, if you will. You see, I wasn't blessed with the best genetics in the world. Most guys wish they had that V-shape...small waist, broad shoulders. My shape is more the reverse...akin to a pear...small shoulders and broad waist. As a consequence, I really try to be almost fanatical in watching what I eat. Oatmeal, baked chicken, grilled fish..salads..you know the drill. But I have several weaknesses when it comes to "Junk food". Pizza.....other people's fries....and Original Recipe KFC Chicken.
Now, I know full well there's better chicken out there and many will argue for this or that down home restaurant...mama's homeade chicken and on and on. But I grew up on this stuff. Nothing like mom bringing home a big ole bucket of KFC. And since the one and only Colonel Sanders himself was sitting 5 feet away from me, it was time to partake again. I took a couple of breastesses along with Mini's tacos and went to class. They were watching a movie at lunch with the lights out so it was the perfect opportunity to pig out unnoticed. I had about three gallons of wonderful grease all over my face and streaming down my arms. I peel the skin off those things and shove wads of it in my face like cotton candy. I did catch 3-4 kids staring wide-eyed at me in disbelief. I snarled back at them and they quit.
Like I said, not saying KFC chicken beats this or that chicken. It's just for me, when I want to indulge in pure chub popping chow down....I looooves me some original recipe. Junk food weaknesses?
-
Zaxby's buffalo fingers are like crack cocaine to me. The hottest sauce they have too...
Oh, looks like a trip is in order tonight now.
-
Pizza is probably my first love. Went to Chicago last year and my daughter insisted we try Giordano's (sp?) Sweet Jeebus...deep dish meat lovers and cold beer. I coded.
-
I eat too much fast food at times, but have cut back a lot. Recently packing turkey sammiches with deli mustard and 2% cheese slices on light wheat bread for lunch.
But when I got to have it, I got to have a Milo's Cheeseburger, and Milo's fries with Milo's sauce to dip the seasoned fries in.
I think I've had it once in the last couple of months, and I don't see one in my near future due to actively trying to lose some weight, but some time, some day, the urge will be overwhelming.
As a general rule, my overall fast food weakness is fries. When done right, McDonalds has the best, hands down, but their quality control is so fucking slipshod it's not worth the effort. You might get them hot and crisp 1 time in 4.

BTW you need to lay off the crack.

Oh Emm Gee...forgot about their pizza. We are supposed to make a trip up there this summer sometime. I'm gonna have to pack the elliptical with me I suppose...

And, if they fail to salt them right out of the grease, you might as well throw them out.

I'm with Snags - love that KFC Original. Something about the herbs in the crust.
Also like:
Chick Fil A - any piece of chicken in the joint.
Baby Back Ribs with Memphis Style Rub
Wendys Frosty
McD's Fries

Yes it is. Some of the in-laws live just outside Chicago, and we went up for a wedding a few years back. Had it at the rehearsal dinner...sweet mama it was good.

Yep!

GarMan understands the science of fast food fries. He is so correct.

We had hit New York not long before that and of course, the debate is always over NY thin crust and Chicago deep dish. No comparison. Deep dish is the titz.

Werd.
We had a place here when I was younger called Dugo's. The owners were originally from Illinios, I believe. That was the best pizza I ever had as a kid. I cried the day they closed their doors.

If only the morons behind the counter understood the science of the food they serve.

This man knows.
I said it in another thread on the fries. You MUST salt the fries as soon as they leave the grease. That way...it stays with the fry. If you fail to salt within the appropriate window of time, you have ruined the spuds.

This rule applies to almost anything deep-fried.

The hell you say.
If I want regular Pizza I will go to NY.
If I want 3 inches of bread with Pizza on top of it, I will go to Chee-cag-OH.
Ive had pizza in each city. New York in the early 2000's right before 9/11 and was in Chicago last year about this time.

I'll ask you only once to shut that dirty, whorish mouf. Deeeeeeep dish goodness.

No sir, you shut YOUR dirty filthy whorish mouth this instant. If you are going to eat Chee-cagOHH Peetzah, you might as well start listening to Bread's greatest hits. Same thing.

IHOP anytime after midnight with beer snuck in to keep drinking.

Speaking of the Windy Township, you ever had a Chicago dog? Little different than what I am used to in a hotdog, but I did enjoy it. The tomato was a pretty cool touch.

There's a reason Cheeee-cah-go is called "The Second City". They're always trying to outdo or separate themselves from NYC. Chicago Pizza, Chicago Hotdogs...all over the top bullshit because they think if they put more on it, it's better. Pfffft!
-

Have not had a Chicago dog. I made sure I got one in NY from one of the street vendors. Something different and damn good about those dogs.

Why are you bringing the Cubs into this discussion?

I'm gonna have to agree with the hatless one. You sir, do not know good pizza.

Chicago deep dish is the shit! I drove up to Waukeegan last June to watch my son's graduation and got a pie. Sweet 8 pound 10 ounce baby Jesus that thing was good! New York style ..... one might as well get a cracker crust pizza from the supermarket.
Down home, my favorite junk foods are Jack's double Bacon burgers, Wendy's fries (got the skins on and half a box of sea salt), Hardees fried bologna biscuit, or a BBQ sammich from R&B's in Lincoln, Alabama.

Those Jacks Bacon double cheeseburgers are no joke.

Look pct, we made a nice bond over cigarette Shane. Let's not ruin it over pizza debates. :thumsup:
-
You eat breakfast at Hardees - Steak, egg and cheese biscuit.
Hope to make it to a bathroom before you hit Jack's for lunch: Three piece chicken dinner with fries/mashed taters, green beans a biscuit and tea.
Try to hit two bathrooms before you close the day at any of the interchangeable fast-food places masquerading as "restaurants": Logan's, Ruby Tuesday, O'Charleys, Longhorn, Outback, Applebees.
Collapse and die.

Arnold's One Stop in Snow Hill, Alabama. Best bbq joint/gas station/garage/laundromat there is on the road from Lower Alabama to Auburn. You walk in and help yourself to the mysterious aluminum foil brick in the warming oven, written on top in magic marker is "RIB SAND." Grab yourself an RC from the ancient rust covered fridge. The elderly black man behind the counter asks if you will be dining in your car, if you answer in the affirmative he unrolls about a third of a roll of paper towels and hands it to you. Get back on Highway 21 and open your package to find the oddest bbq sandwich ever. Four ribs, bone in, slathered in spicy sauce, between two slices of wonder bread, and left for an hour in a warming oven to let everything meld together into the most wonderful amalgamation created by the hands of man.
Interesting not: His bbq pit is about 20 feet away from his gas pumps. True story.

Ok, late to the thread but for fast food............
Chick-Fil-A: Anything, but prefer the spicy chicken with a slice of pepperjack. Even the biscuits.
Jacks: I used to hate Jacks, but now I love it.
Popeyes: Lunch buffet has it going on.
Hardees: Thickburger only; however, the chicken fingers are not bad.
I am so glad that Milo's and Whataburger are not around here. It's worse than crack!

Whataburger...nothing fancy, but they get it right consistently. When I can't fight off a craving for fries, it's where I go. I know the 3 minute wait at the drive thru means they'll come out done, crispy, hot, and properly salted.

I am sure if there was one within driving distance of the house, both of them would lose their appeal. It's like In-N-Out, I only get them when I am on TDY out west somewhere. I claim I could eat them daily, but I claimed the same thing about 5 Guys when I first had one, then they opened one about two miles from work and now I eat one about once every two months. Only if someone else wants to go.

Yeah, I don't go very often, but I know what you mean.
Where I work, the choices, if you don't brown bag it, are 3 greasy spoon buffets, and only one really fit to eat, McDonalds, Wendy's, Pizza Hut, Subway and a lunch counter at the local pharmacy that has a decent chicken salad sammich, but I question their "safe food handling" methods. I frequently see folks I've prosecuted working in McDonalds and Wendy's so... By default, I eat a lot of subway to avoid the grease, and whatever else they might want to put in my food, and Subway sammiches, for the most, part suck. Sometimes, after a large docket, all the lawyers and judge will go down to the better of the buffets, but that's only about once a month.
