Ok, so I have 4 kids all playing baseball in a pretty competitive league that has 2 games a week per team. Luckily, I have twins so it only 3 teams but that still means 6 games a week, games start at 6:30, and they have to be there an hour before the game for cages and warmup.

All of that to say that I have to hit fast a few times a week for dinner during the season because we literally have no time after school to even bring them home to change much less eat. The McDonalds close to us has raised the price of Cheeseburgers from 1.09 a year ago to 1.39 today, 20-piece nuggets from 4.99 to 6.49, and no longer has a dollar menu because the McChicken and the McDouble are both 1.59 now. The only thing that seems worth it now is that they have introduced a FOURTY piece nugget and it is 8.49 and in bulk that comes out to around 4.50 per 20. Oh, and you should check your app condiments section to see if your location charges for extra sauces. Right now mine does not so you can actually just get a few for your fries or whatever; however, I expect that they will start charging soon since everything else is going up.

Curder burger from Culver’s might be on my Mount Rushmore of fast food let downs. I was so excited for it and it was so shitty.

When the one near my work opened (first in the area) it was amazing. They have been slowly falling off. The shoestring fries are still fantastic, however the last 2 burgers I've had were burnt to a crisp and a giant mess.

Ya love the fries. My last burger seemed like it was just a grease patty and got a bad stomach ache after eating it.

It’s the price point more than anything else that is going to make it a flop. Imagine if you were hungry and wanted nuggets, what would it cost to actually be full afterwards? $15-20? Yeah, good luck.

There are almost no fast food places left where you can get full for less than $15-20. I can only think of In-N-Out and maybe Domino's when you consider the leftovers aspect (two medium two topping pizzas for $14).

I guess Domino's just hits different for people. I have always thought it was the worst of all the chain pizza joints.

Hell I remember when they ran those commercials where they admitted their shit was cardboard ass and they were gonna upgrade and it was still cardboard ass.

Little Caesars is only around $7 for a hot and ready. Still the only "value" left in the game.

How do people like Shake shack? There are a couple in my city but on the other side of town, so I have never been to one. But they are building one right by me. Curious how they stack up, if they are worth it at all.

if they've got competent people making the pizzas they can be great, but that's few and far between

Sure you can, even at Taco Bell. 2-3 of their $2 burritos is more than enough. 2-3 mcchicken and fries is like $7, or 20 McNuggets and fries is cheap. Like you mentioned any of the pizza chains give you multiple meals for less than $15. The price of the Taco Bell nuggets is just awful, especially compared to the rest of their menu.

Very true. I have one dominos that is close that makes them decently well. There’s another that is the opposite direction from my house about the same distance and it is awful. Dried out, skimpy toppings, etc.

I mean it’s an $8 pizza it’s not going to be premium, but it’s still decent and super cheap

I literally only order shakes from there. I don't do a lot of burger fast food places because I make better burgers at home. But, they're pretty good shakes.
