Chick Fil A pisses me off. Literally about 75% of the time that I actually want it is on a Sunday. But I always forget they're closed and then end up pissed because I can't go. That said, I always get a #1 on a wheat bun. Shit's delicious.

You just described McNuggets. If McNuggets were shaped like dinosaurs you wouldn't be able to tell them apart from shitty supermarket ones.

Ahhh...now I think I know why you can't tell the difference between a man-made real ingredient pizza, between the frozen, processed tostinos cardboard, you either must swallow your food whole or you were in a car accident that damaged the part of your brain that senses taste because there is no fucking earthly way possible you could confuse mcnuggets with tyson dinosaur nuggets. You probably think pepsi and coke taste the same.

God no, Pepsi and Coke are dramatically different. Pepsi is much, much sweeter, which is why I prefer it to Coke. Anyway, I hardly drink either anymore for health reasons. I try not to put that kind of junk into my body.

I am a huge fan of anything buffalo/spicy chicken. There's basically 2 ways most fast food places do it, either with a spicy sauce slathered onto regular fried/breaded chicken, or with a spicy breading and no sauce

Wendys(the best IMHO) - spicy breading, no sauce
Burger King - Spicy Sauce(both on their tenders, and the spicy jr chicken sandwich. Its actually pretty spicy, but doesn't really taste a lot like a normal buffalo sauce)
Hardees - Spicy Sauce(but it's Franks sauce, so its pretty decent, but insanely messy, the sandwich is usually drenched)
Chick-Fil-A - Spicy breading, but it's just not very spicy IMHO. More like just seasoned more than spicy.

Noodleface · Apr 24, 2014

The burger king sauce did make my nose run just slightly. It was definitely spicier than most places, but didn't have a buffalo taste. I was mostly put off that I had to eat the slathered tenders by hand.

Yeah, it's the opposite for me. I like the flavor of Wendy's spicy chicken but it's not really spicy to me. Chick-Fil-A is tasty and has nice heat.

Joeboo · Apr 24, 2014

Maybe I caught Chick-Fil-A on a bad day or something, but I thought their spicy chicken sandwich had zero heat. And since the Chick-Fil-A and Wendys near me are right across the street from each other, I just went back to going to Wendys and didn't give the Chick-Fil-A a 2nd chance.

This really should be your signature. Those last two sentences.

McCheese eats his 4000 calories and 7000mg of sodium of Chipotle with water. Soda would be bad for you.

Yeah, I gotta agree with Adam here.

Either way, even if I preferred something at wendy's and chik-fil-a was right across the street I'd go to chik-fil-a every time because of service. I find myself a lot less tolerant of shitty service these days so the only fast food places I'd consider going to anymore down here in new orleans are chik-fil-a and cane's. I don't understand how chik-fil-a can have only one window and I can have a dozen cars ahead of me and I'm still in and out of there quicker than say 3 cars at mcdonald's. I've never gotten a wrong order at chik-fil-a and then the people at the window are always smiling and very courteous, you don't get that at other places down here.

I agree with you about Chick-fil-a's service. Wendy's here is staffed by pothead slackers who can barely mumble "Whaddya want" when you walk up to the register. Meanwhile, Chick-fil-a is full of nothing but perky white chicks who smile and greet you happily. Also, the Chick-fil-a's around here hide the Mexicans and other ethnics in the back, whereas McD's, Burger King, and Wendy's seem to be fully staffed by them.

Ehh the chik a filet on the pike in Rockville is mainly started by black people, but their service is leaps and bounds above Wendy's.

I will give Chick-Fil-A credit for one thing, they are really strict with their franchising, all of their places are held to the same standard of service and quality, which is pretty good. They don't allow someone to just "buy" a franchise as an investment and have someone else run it. All owners are required to be hands-on, working in the restaurant full time, with no other side businesses/jobs. All other fast food chains are wildly hit and miss depending on where you are. The McDonalds near me are crazy, crazy fast, but the 3 closest ones all have the same owner. I can leave work, drive there(5 minutes) get my food, drive back(5 minutes) and be back at my desk before my computer locks(15 min), even if there's a line of 10 cars. They're so fast they often have your sack of food outstreched from the window before you even pull up, I've grabbed it without even completely stopping before.

The admins should make McCheese the mod of this thread. He kills me in here.

Agreed. This is McCheese's "Other Games"

Wendy's is by far the worst fast food place for variation. Newer Wendy's are the shit. The one that opened up last year by our new house has the absolute nicest people I've ever seen working in Fast Food, even the high school kids at least act like their job is the greatest thing in the world.

Chick-Fil-A people are almost creepy nice. Like they will literally do anything for you. And then they always say "my pleasure" when you say thank you.

I'm with you Elurin... the Chick-Fil-A by our house is right next to Lowe's which I always go to on Sundays and then I always want it but can't have it.

Tenks · Apr 24, 2014

Wendy's flagship store opened up right across from their corporate HQ a few miles away from where I work. Has all their experimental shit. I assume since all the Wendy's execs are next door it has the world's best Wendy's standards. I still haven't gone yet.

Falstaff · Apr 24, 2014

My dad's office growing up was right across the street from the McDonald's HQ in Oak Brook, Illinois... when I was little and my mom would take me to visit him at work, we would go to the McDonald's in that building and I remember it being awesome and looking like a Starbucks inside and this was in like 1990.
