[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I largely grew up on fast food, so I have a huge soft spot for it.

[u]Top Tier:[/u]

Roy Rogers-- Roast beef w/cheese 
Wendy's-- Frosty
Popeyes-- Basically anything on their menu

[u]Second Tier:[/u]

Burger King/McDonald's-- I like a Whopper or a Quarter Pounder w/Cheese but they don't quite make the favorites list.
Pollo Campero-- Yucca, and overall it's good
Arby's-- I can be in the mood for one of their beef sandwiches, especially if I'm closer to an Arby's than a Roy Rogers

[u]No Favorites:[/u]

KFC
Taco Bell
Long John Silver's
Subway
A couple more

I don't hate any of these places (though I'm not a cold cuts person except if it's like a real Jewish or Italian American place, so there's not much I eat at Subway). But there's no particular favorite item I like to get there. I won't go to them unless they're far more convenient in the moment or everyone else really wants to go, etc.

[u]Not Enough Data:[/u]

Regional places not in my region, like Jack in the Box or Bojangles or Tim Horton's or something-- I've only had some of these once or twice, if at all, and can't remember being blown away. Of course, most of the top tier for me wouldn't blow anyone away, per se-- but they have a nostalgia/craving factor you can't get when you've only been to a place 1-2x over decades.

[u]Location-Dependent:[/u]

[b]Jollibee-- I can get with a pie or something and I can go for it sometimes-- the Wheaton location is close by-- but it's just not as good as in the Philippines. In the Philippines, it's basically all top tier to me, like Popeyes. [/b]

[u]Disqualified (almost wrote DQ, but that's Dairy Queen):[/u]

Five Guys, Chipotle, Pizza Hut, etc.

IMO it's not fast food if there's no possibility that a standard menu item could have been fully made prior to your ordering it. Although Chipotle-style places come close (it's just assembly), Five Guys type places aren't true "fast food" IMO. Just being relatively quick or greasy or ubiquitous doesn't make a restaurant "fast food" per se. [/quote]

I had Jollibee for the first time in Guam when I was super pregnant. That sweet hotdog spaghetti and salty fried chicken was the bomb![/quote]
