Probably just better, realer ingredients. Paqui chips are pretty good for Doritos style chips with less and better ingredients.

Carl's Jr. Brings Back El Diablo Burger Permanently
The El Diablo burger is back at Carl's Jr. as a permanent menu item. It's joined by a new El Diablo chicken wrap and El Diablo Loaded Fries.
Actually a decent burger. No idea what it costs, probably last time I got it was like 2017 or something. It was a lot of 'stuff', but it workd together really well.
Now if only God hears our prayers and brings back the Angry Whopper.

I can get any specialty patty burger at Texas Roadhouse with a side for like $10.99; I don't understand how fast food restaurants are not seeing a huge decrease in business.

It's in the name. Can get all of that for much less if you just use a skillet or grill.

I think its just that people grew up in an era when fast food was a semi affordable option. It became habit. The expectation became that you can go out and real quick grab a burger on your lunch break. Those same restaurants are still there, the lunch break still goes by just as fast, so people just keep doing it.
What about rising prices? Its the boiling frog. People don't realize whats happening yet. We have transitioned to an era where fast food is not a realistic, affordable option anymore. People just don't realize its a new era, yet.

I think drive thru is a big reason people still get traditional fast food. People are lazy and pay a bit more to not have to park, walk in, and pick up a to-go order. Plus the expectation of a tip on top of the price (though that is creeping into fast food, too).
Curbside pick-up is a thing, but in my experience it's incredibly slow and super unreliable. Drive thrus get the occasional "pull into spot 1, please", but for the most part they're extremely quick.

Nah they have those stickers they can close the bag with so you know if the delivery driver ate your french fries or not.

I do curbside all the time at McD's. It is faster for me if there is any kind of line at the drive thru. I just order before I leave the house. When I get about a mile away they, start prepping the food before I get there.

Ordering delivery fast food is kinda dumb. You are probably paying like 25% or more with tips, markups, and service fees. Might as well order better food.

I use curbside all the time. I hate going through the drive-thru line. I don't mind waiting a little longer. That's the one thing I love about Culver's. I wait a little longer for my food, but it's always fresh. I never have to worry about old food.

Subway is dead to me until they bring back the quality and sandwich options from the Pre-Jared ear. Horseradish Dijon Melt be thy name.

No, because there is no fast food thats edible more than 5 minutes after its made. It hits the wall so hard. The whole model is fucked, delivery and fast food and simply not compatible.
