Commenter Mock Drafts: The Best of Fast Food
Now that the NFL Draft has come and gone it’s time to hand the Friday Mock Drafts over to you, the reader. This week’s draft topic is inspired by a behind-the-scenes argument between members of KSK over whether Popeye’s is a better fast food option than Burger King. It is. By a lot. But what of all the other fast food options lurking out there? That’s where you come in. Everyone is free to draft their favorite fast food establishment in the comment section, but please, play by the rules*.
The guidelines are fairly simple. For the sake of clarity we’re limiting this draft to fast food chains. This means standalone eateries like The Apple Pan are not eligible.
I’ll get things started with a ceremonial first pick, In ‘N Out Burger. Sure they’re owned and operated by religious fanatics, but there is no better fast food burger out there. In fact it’s the only fast food burger I would comfortably pick ahead of my beloved Popeye’s.
*This means drafting one eatery at a time and waiting ten picks before selecting again.

Five Guys, of course
May 1st, 2009 at 11:12 am
Good work Stu. Wouldn’t want any other burger going number 2.
May 1st, 2009 at 11:13 am
Does Popeye’s count, even though it’s been mentioned? I’m taking it anyway. But not for the chicken. For the biscuits. They taste like God orgasmed into a bowl of butter.
May 1st, 2009 at 11:13 am
Chick – Fil – A ftw
May 1st, 2009 at 11:14 am
El Pollo Loco. I don’t know why the chicken is yellow, but I want some.
May 1st, 2009 at 11:14 am
White Castle, because steamed beef miniburgers are the best colonic in the world. They don’t call ‘em sliders for nothin’!
May 1st, 2009 at 11:14 am
Chipotle – barely fast food, but it was owned by McD, and it actually tastes good
May 1st, 2009 at 11:15 am
there is no better fast food burger out there
Shut the fuck up, Donny.
May 1st, 2009 at 11:15 am
I’m going with a local Pittsburgh favorite: The O: Original Hot Dog Shop with their mountain of fries. (Not sure if Primanti’s counts, otherwise that’s my #1).
May 1st, 2009 at 11:16 am
Zaxby’s. World’s best chicken sandwich. Ever. Unfortunately, only located in the South so far as I can tell.
May 1st, 2009 at 11:16 am
Cookout. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cook_Out_(restaurant)
The United States government issued a hush-hush directive in 1956 to keep Cookout franchises contained only in the state of North Carolina, for fear of their ridiculously cheap and delicious food from ruining the national economy. You can get the most delicious cajun chicken sandwich with any two sides and a milkshake for just over five bucks. It really isn’t fair.
May 1st, 2009 at 11:16 am
Fatburger, bitches!
May 1st, 2009 at 11:17 am
Link posting/sentence editing fail. Booooooo.
May 1st, 2009 at 11:18 am
Can’t believe it fell this far – TACO BELL
May 1st, 2009 at 11:18 am
Bojangles. Mmm, chicken and biscuits.
May 1st, 2009 at 11:18 am
Bojangles. After 15 years, we’re finally getting one in Tuscaloosa. When I was in grad school, we’d go work out and then reward ourselves with a sausage biscuit or cajun chicken. After awhile, we stopped working out and just rewarded ourselves at Bojangles. Damn, now I’ll have to go to the gym (or will I?)
May 1st, 2009 at 11:19 am
@Junker23: FUCK. My finger was on the trigger. Even better than Popeye’s.
I’m going to have to go with Krystal next. Could scarf down about 8,000 of those tasty little burgers.
May 1st, 2009 at 11:19 am
@Junker23 Damn
May 1st, 2009 at 11:19 am
Steak N’ Shake. Frisco melt and a chocolate shake have often been there to subdue my stoner hunger.
May 1st, 2009 at 11:20 am
Sonic mutherfuckers…any chicken sandwhich enclosed by two butter-bathed pieces of Texas toast is cool with me…plus the door to car service…oh and the options…
May 1st, 2009 at 11:20 am
Carl’s Jr.
May 1st, 2009 at 11:21 am
Roy Rogers Fried Chicken ……
May 1st, 2009 at 11:21 am
I’ll second Chick-Fil-A, but if that picture is In ‘N Out Burger (we dont have in Georgia) then it deserves to win. I have a grease boner.
May 1st, 2009 at 11:22 am
I gave Sonic a try and hated their food, but to each his own I guess. I also wish they would stop advertising in DC where there are zero Sonics within 200 miles.
May 1st, 2009 at 11:22 am
Read em and weep.
Del Taco kicks everyones ass. Burgers and Burritos. Best fries on the market.Rallys/Checkers comes in close with good cheap double deals.
And Sonic for just being awesome
4th place goes to Hardees for making a burger that shortens your lifespan by 3 years per bite
and 5th goes to Taco Bell for just being there for me!
I’m a cock who can’t play by the rules.
May 1st, 2009 at 11:22 am
Ryan, I’d say the O is a lot more “fast food” than Primanti’s. Regardless, those fries are amazing, and you have to love a fast food spot that sells 40’s.
May 1st, 2009 at 11:22 am
Whataburger because puts In N Out and Five Guys to shame. I’ve lived in Texas and Virginia and am moving to the land of In N Out in a few months and Whataburger rapes the competition.
May 1st, 2009 at 11:22 am
Portillo’s; They aren’t the best in Chicago but the Cheddar Beef Croissant is the destroyer of men
May 1st, 2009 at 11:23 am
Damn, Otto beat me to Fatburger. I’ve driven an hour to AC just because that’s the only Fatburger within 500 miles of Philadelphia.
Pickin’s gettin’ mighty slim at this point. Hardee’s. Frisco Thickburger and sweet tea. Fuck and yes.
May 1st, 2009 at 11:24 am
@miamidiesel: I can’t believe Taco Bell went that early.
Portillo’s FTW, bitches!
May 1st, 2009 at 11:24 am

May 1st, 2009 at 11:25 am
This is shaping up to be an all California vs. Southeast US showdown.
that said: Bullets
May 1st, 2009 at 11:25 am
Damn, Otto beat me to Fatburger. I’ve driven an hour to AC just because that’s the only Fatburger within 500 miles of Philadelphia.
Yeah, I rushed to that one. You know what makes a bacon cheeseburger even more sacrilicious? A fucking fried egg.
May 1st, 2009 at 11:26 am
If Chipotle counts, then with my second pick I’m snapping up Q-Doba. More variety, and the Queso Burrito deserves its own museum with matching gift shop.
May 1st, 2009 at 11:28 am
Got me some chicken and some burgers, so I guess I need omlettes, waffles, and pork chop sandwiches. Waffle House ftw.
May 1st, 2009 at 11:28 am
Anne’s Dairy Creme. Makes footlong hotdogs and cheesesteaks like you wouldn’t believe. Of course I guess you gotta live in Glen Burnie, MD to know what I’m talking about. I suppose if I have to choose a chain I would go with Wendy’s. C’mon the Baconator is the shit and you know it. Seriously though, a footlong Double Dog from Anne’s with mustand chili, and onions from Anne’s; fuckin orgasmic.
May 1st, 2009 at 11:29 am
Maurice’s — South Carolina mustard-based ‘que. Anytime anybody I know goes back to Columbia, I have them pick me up a case of their sauce. Sure, you have to ignore the whole “War of Northern Aggression” bullshit, but damn that sauce is amazing.
May 1st, 2009 at 11:29 am
Firehouse Subs. One of the better ideas that the Southeast has had. Also, I’ve never met a person not from DC who actually likes Five Guys.
May 1st, 2009 at 11:29 am
If you’re picking a regional establishment it would help to provide links. Especially to pictures of food.
May 1st, 2009 at 11:30 am
I think I should be good for Pick number 2:
Culver’s: Butter Burgers, Fried Cheese Curds, & Custard.
May 1st, 2009 at 11:30 am
@Angreblackman
There’s a Sonic in Algonquin now – well within the 200 mile radius of Chicago.
@Angreblackman
Croissants are the “destroyer of men,” because it will turn them into women.
La Bamba’s (Univ of Illinois): best drunken burrito experience ever.
May 1st, 2009 at 11:31 am
Pal’s. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pal%27s You gotta go deep into Tennessee Meth Country to find ‘em but they’re damn good and cheap as all hell. And I think they provided Hank Williams Sr.’s last meal or someshit

1st Pick: Portillo’s
http://www.portillos.com/
2nd Pick: Culvers
http://www.culvers.com/menu/default.aspx
May 1st, 2009 at 11:32 am
I dig the Beef and Cheddar at Arby’s with the horsey sauce. Good stuff. Also, I almost died eating Bojangles when I livin in North Carolina. Dirty rice and greasy chicken…it doesn;t get much better.
May 1st, 2009 at 11:32 am
Come to Canada and get you some Harvey’s.
May 1st, 2009 at 11:32 am
Mighty Taco. I have a feeling I could come back tomorrow and all my picks will be on the board still.
May 1st, 2009 at 11:33 am
Del Taco….I miss living on the West Coast, I now live in New England, not exactly known for food. (Unless Maple Sizzurp) counts
May 1st, 2009 at 11:34 am
RusRus:
La Bamba’s in the Loop is weak. I will have to make a pilgrimage to the real one sometime. But since I’m eating it sober on my lunch break I guess that could account for it.
May 1st, 2009 at 11:34 am
Fine, UM, here’s a photo of the food at the Varsity. That chili dog isn’t looking too great — I’d recommend some slaw dogs — but those onion rings are good enough to kill for.
And here’s Fatburger too. If you like In ‘n’ Out, you’d love this.
May 1st, 2009 at 11:34 am
What the hell? Carls Jr fell this far? Mine then
May 1st, 2009 at 11:34 am
@slothrop: well-played on waffle house. In that spirit, my next pick is… IHOP
May 1st, 2009 at 11:34 am
Swensons.
I’ve had In N Out, Whattaburger, Fatburger, Steak and shake and the like. They are all fucking great but Swensons narrowly edges out In ‘N’ Out for #1 in my book. Jesus now I’m Starving!
May 1st, 2009 at 11:34 am
Baja Fresh. Sure, it’s a white Californian’s idea of Mexican food, but it’s fresh and damned tasty.
@Otto: If you really want to hate yourself in the morning, make it a King Burger and add a chocolate shake.
May 1st, 2009 at 11:35 am

Jack in the motherfucking Box. Monster Tacos, spicy chicken sammie, ultimate cburger.
May 1st, 2009 at 11:36 am
Skyline chilli. Nothing cleanses a drunk appetite like a five-way.
May 1st, 2009 at 11:37 am
@Otto: If you really want to hate yourself in the morning, make it a King Burger and add a chocolate shake.
Hells yes. That was the regular menu for Sunday football at my place for a few years ago. Brutal.
May 1st, 2009 at 11:37 am
There’s a chain around Pittsburgh called Kings. In addition to great ice cream, they have pierogies, sauerkraut, and pork products on the menu. My mouth is just watering thinking about it. http://www.kingsfamily.com/index.html
/I’ve made more picks in this mock draft than any other. I wonder what this says about me?
May 1st, 2009 at 11:38 am
Whattaburger
May 1st, 2009 at 11:38 am
@Angreblackman
I live by the maxim, “The only French that should be used when ordering fast food is ‘french’ fries!” Hasn’t steered me wrong yet.
May 1st, 2009 at 11:38 am
@Maj,
Good point. Here’s a link to Firehouse Subs. The Engine Company is my favorite.
Second pick, sticking with the Mexican theme is Moe’s Southwest Grill. Quality salsa bar and it blows Chipotle and the rest out of the water. Plus one of their burritos is called the Art Vandelay, which always makes me chuckle.
May 1st, 2009 at 11:39 am
Shake Shack in NYC.

May 1st, 2009 at 11:42 am

@Tim
Is Shake Shack really that good? Every time I’m in NYC I can never pull the trigger on going.
Third Pick:
The Hat:
http://www.thehat.com/
The Pastrami Dip
May 1st, 2009 at 11:43 am
Great Steak and Potato Company
The peanut-oil fries are pretty fucking great indeed.
May 1st, 2009 at 11:43 am
I will also require noodles and an order of egg rolls. Panda it is.
May 1st, 2009 at 11:43 am
Quiznos. Any chicken sub they have. Fucking excellent, and real good chili too.
May 1st, 2009 at 11:43 am
In n Out has spoilt us here out West. Fatburger is a pale overpriced imitation.
That said, I’ll take The Hat…Pastrami sandwiches…
/drools on keyboard
May 1st, 2009 at 11:44 am
Second pick: also Chicago burrito themed:
El Famous Burrito. When you go there, notice how nearly all the signs are spelled wrong – charming!
May 1st, 2009 at 11:44 am
Even though I already have Pizza Hut, I’m taking Famous Ray’s Pizza (and all its various related incarnations – Famous Original Ray’s, Original Famous Ray’s, etc), the best pizza in NYC
May 1st, 2009 at 11:45 am
I like Fatburger, just not as much as some other people do.
May 1st, 2009 at 11:45 am
Shake Shack is alright, but my choice for best burger in NYC is Blue 9 Burger.
May 1st, 2009 at 11:45 am
The Hat:

Questionable since they’re not a chain or standard fast-food establishment, but I’ll go with the Rutgers Grease Trucks. Greatest drunk food ever … chicken fingers, fries, mozzarella sticks and marinara sauce all on a sandwich? Yes, please.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grease_Trucks
http://www.fatdarrell.com/fatdarrellsandwich.jpg
May 1st, 2009 at 11:45 am
Second on Jack in the Box. Chili cheese curly fries at 2 a.m. after 8 beers. Fuck yes.
May 1st, 2009 at 11:46 am
@SonOfSpam
Fix yo’ Draft Board
May 1st, 2009 at 11:47 am
I think Swenson’s stomps In n Out. Similar to Sonic, but 1000x better.
Since that’s off the board I’ll take Hamburger Station:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamburger_Station
If you’re ever stuck in Akron, OH those 2 might be the only positive you take from the trip, and they’re good enough it won’t feel like a complete waste.
May 1st, 2009 at 11:47 am
Raising Canes Chicken Fingers
http://www.raisingcanes.com/
No variety, but the fingers are perfect, the fries are tasty, and the dipping sauce should be introduced into the water supply like fluoride. Yum.
May 1st, 2009 at 11:47 am
Hot Dog Johnny’s
http://hotdogjohnny.com/shop/shipping.php
May 1st, 2009 at 11:47 am
@rusrus
El Famous Burrito. Fuck and Yes!
May 1st, 2009 at 11:48 am
Shake Shack is overpriced, nothing special, and you have to wait 20 minutes to get one. The only draw is eating one out in Madison Square Park on a nice day.
Since no one else wants to, I’m taking McDonalds. Kiper would call this a Value (meal) pick.

I can’t believe it’s lasted this long — Katz’s.
Did your fast food joint send Meg Ryan into an uncontrollable orgasm? I didn’t think so.
May 1st, 2009 at 11:50 am
Edwardo’s pizza in Chicago is the most amazing food you can put in your mouth (I don’t care how that sounds). It completely ruined me; no other pizza comes close. http://featuredfoods.com/cgi-local/SoftCart.exe/a-store/EDW-08.shtml?L+scstore+yndb8547edwardoffacb2ac+1241195669
May 1st, 2009 at 11:50 am
Nathans. I’m shocked this is still on the board. You haven’t gotten three chili cheese dogs with mustard, with two coronas to go with it, from the Coney Island original location? Then you have not properly eaten a hot dog. A fast food joint serving beer for the win.
May 1st, 2009 at 11:50 am

Taco Cabana/Two Peso’s FT-to the-MF’n-W !!!
Goddamn I miss that place … as an ex-Houstonite, I cannot deny that I’ve eaten there 10 days in a row on my last visit. Fajita taco’s and queso, and the goddamn chorizo breakfast burrito with a Sunday hang-over. Ahhhh memories.
May 1st, 2009 at 11:52 am
Timmy Chan’s Chicken and Rice
The only place that there is no possibility of getting shot in a Houston Ghetto.

There is no way Edwardo’s is fast food. Delivery yes, but not fast.
May 1st, 2009 at 11:54 am
Dos Amigos – New Hampshire only burrito establishment, 5 dolla burrito mondays gets you about 3 pounds of burrito heaven.
http://www.dosamigosburritos.com/
Yes, i know it’s Southwestern food in New Hampshire, but it beats the piss out of the local Chipotle, then bangs it’s mother in front of it.

@Brasky & fumunda.
2 Pesos. Good nachos. Lofty nachos.
May 1st, 2009 at 11:55 am
Any place that charges $10 for a fucking sandwich is not fast fucking food. A fast food restaurant is one that charges less than $5 for a cock load of food…………greasey/cheesey/yummy food.
May 1st, 2009 at 11:55 am
…and to complete the Chicago burrito trifecta, Los Arcos Taqueria in Mt. Prospect, IL.
You have to love a place where the exterior sign simple says “Mexican Food.” It’s probably not fast food, but fuck it! I loves me some burritos!
May 1st, 2009 at 11:55 am
@Otto
Thanks for tip. I will get some Blue 9 next time I’m out there.
May 1st, 2009 at 11:55 am
Lamar’s Donuts. They’re like an angel making love to your tongue. With sprinkles.
http://www.lamars.com/
May 1st, 2009 at 11:56 am
Shake Shack is easily superior to blue 9, especially if you factor in the fries. I mean sure, you have to wait on a long line, but you go with a few friends when it’s nice outside and it’s a fun experience over all. Overpriced? Yes. But so is everything in this fucking city. I pay $1000 a month for about 30 square feet of living space.
May 1st, 2009 at 11:56 am
I’m taking Famous Ray’s Pizza (and all its various related incarnations – Famous Original Ray’s, Original Famous Ray’s, etc), the best pizza in NYC
That’s a big negatory, son. John’s Pizza is the best traditional style, especially the pepperoni, but for jizz-in-your-pants quality pizza, it’s got to be Two Boots. Andouille sausage and cajun-style crawfish? Fuck and yes.
May 1st, 2009 at 11:57 am
so no purely local places? There goes Penguin.
Are Carl’s Jr and Hardees considered the same thing? If so I’ll go with value here and take Wendy’s.
May 1st, 2009 at 11:57 am
@Angreblackman: Damn. Once again, I have been pushed aside by an African-American. Life is unfair to us pale people.
So I’ll step up with the late Naugles. Chocolate shakes with bits o’ chocolate bars in them.
May 1st, 2009 at 11:57 am
Santana’s of San Diego.
May 1st, 2009 at 11:57 am
Since that last comment wasn’t actually a vote, I’m taking Qdoba. Chipotle without the name recognition.
May 1st, 2009 at 11:58 am
If anyone is from the PA/NY area, Wegman’s Sub Shop has got to count. That shit is delicious. More meat than you can shake a stick at, and the sub sauce is awesome.
ps, to whoever said Zaxby’s, we had one at Ohio State but it closed because it couldn’t compete with Raising Cane’s.
May 1st, 2009 at 11:58 am
Papa John’s. I never buy pizza from a chain, I’ve had Papa John’s pizza and it isn’t that bad. Also, all my other picks have been taken.
May 1st, 2009 at 11:59 am
Ah, here’s a photo. How quickly can I get there?

My healthy living selection – Jamba Juice
@ Otto: can’t say I’m as enamored of Two Boots – some of their specialty shit is just way too out there. Plus you can stumble into any Ray’s until like 4am, which is a big consideration for me

Albertos in SoCal. Actually it’s usally some kind of -bertos, but they all have the same logo. Or am I just being racial by saying their logos all look the same to me…
May 1st, 2009 at 12:01 pm
Oh, goody – Nando’s (chicken) is still on the board. I’ll take that.
May 1st, 2009 at 12:02 pm
@ Pointer: I agree with your sentiments, but FIX YO’ DRAFT BOARD – I took Taco Bell 40+ minutes ago
May 1st, 2009 at 12:02 pm
If a place has more than one location, does it count? Also, does a pizzeria count as fast food? If so, I’m taking Bella Pizza. Awesomely greasy pizza, great chicken fingers, awesome subs (chicken finger, steak), all around great hang over food.
May 1st, 2009 at 12:03 pm
@SonOfSpam
It my fast-twitch abilities. But you can still be a crafty Wes Welker like receiver with Matt Jones’s deceptive speed.
Pizza Ria. http://www.pizza-ria.com/
I am not picking this for food but for all the fights and Wrigleyville that I’ve seen while enjoying a slice here.

@CGB, Upstate Underdog: also agreed with you guys on Wegman’s subs, they are incredible
UU, ever been to an ice cream place called Bev’s in Oswego on Lake Ontario? Not a fast food place for purposes of this draft I would suppose, but damn delicious
May 1st, 2009 at 12:03 pm
FUCKING SONIC, I’ve only gone once, but I see their commercials daily (why do they advertise in the northeast?)

@miami-d, I’ve been to Oswego but never to that ice cream place.
May 1st, 2009 at 12:05 pm
Well done Steve…Tommy’s is all kinds of awesome. Especially the original at Beverly/Rampart. Great burger, with the added bonus of watching a gang shooting.
May 1st, 2009 at 12:05 pm
I think pizza places should only count if you can get a slice within 5 minutes of ordering… otherwise that shit is not fast.
May 1st, 2009 at 12:06 pm
@ Otto: can’t say I’m as enamored of Two Boots – some of their specialty shit is just way too out there. Plus you can stumble into any Ray’s until like 4am, which is a big consideration for me
True. They are conveniently placed like Starbucks, one every fifty feet, and tailor-made for late night drunkitude.
May 1st, 2009 at 12:07 pm
Pizzeria Uno’s, son. Ya heard? You can keep that thin, sauce-less New York shit. In any civilized place in the world, that shit is called “drywall.”
May 1st, 2009 at 12:07 pm
@Spatula
I don’t know if you could consider Kings a fast food place. It’s a sit down family restaurant…although it’s still good food.
For my pick, I’d have to go with the Red Hook Vendors. I think they come back in May. If you’re in New York, get your lazy ass on the subway and head out to Red Hook Park. The Red Hook Vendors will change your life. http://gothamist.com/attachments/goth_nick/2007_04_redhookball1.JPG
May 1st, 2009 at 12:07 pm
Chicken Box…also has the best slogan ever “Tastes like Yo Mama’s” located on the corner of every ‘hood (and not your pansy-ass West Coast or East Coast developments) in the Big Sleazy. The bulletbroof glass enclosed cooking area leads to the meal being piping hot every time and you can’t beat a 2 pc of dark meat for 99 cents.
May 1st, 2009 at 12:07 pm
@steve
Tommy’s. Now that’s a steal.
May 1st, 2009 at 12:08 pm
Guthrie’s.
Two menu options: plate or box.
May 1st, 2009 at 12:09 pm
Big City Burrito
Tuesdays is Fat Tuesday there – Regular Potato Burrito and a Drink for 3.75 (when it first started up 3 years or so ago – 3 bucks. A Steal!). Load that shit up with extra meat or double wrap the tortilla and you’re driving the colon bus to poop town.
Breakfast Burritos are fucking awesome as well. As long as you don’t get Lupe wrapping your burrito they are tight, no falling apart here. The original Fort Collins place puts a whuppin on a rhinoceros’s ass.
http://www.bigcityburrito.com/
May 1st, 2009 at 12:10 pm
@UU: Bev’s is only open from end of March until like late September. I highly recommend it – the counter is usually worked by cute SUNY-Oswego co-eds, another plus to go with the delicious ice cream. Maybe check it out during Harbor Fest in July
@Otto: don’t know if you still reside in NYC, but in case you do, Two Boots is available on Seamless Web – no need to even leave the apartment!
May 1st, 2009 at 12:11 pm
I find Shake Shack to be great. True, a nice day in the park definately helps. Everyone is walking their dogs and the girls are dressed in some nice outfits. I think the Shack-cago Dog is the best thing on the menu. Plus, they serve alcohol, even though the Arnold Palmer is delicious.
May 1st, 2009 at 12:12 pm
All the good shit is gone (I’m bummed about missing out on The Hat – nice pick Angreblackman). KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken) is still on the board, so I guess I’ll take that with my 2nd pick.
May 1st, 2009 at 12:12 pm
not much left, so I’ll take Mr. Goodcents. Damn good subs for the money.
May 1st, 2009 at 12:13 pm
@Otto
Thanks for tip. I will get some Blue 9 next time I’m out there.
Another prime choice is Burger Joint.
May 1st, 2009 at 12:13 pm
Shit. I was gonna try and take Katz’s but apparently that’s long gone, as is The Hat. Oh well, I gotta get my pastrami somewhere so I’m going to plan C: Johnny’s Pastrami.
May 1st, 2009 at 12:13 pm
Seeing as Five Guys went first, this draft was over before it started.
May 1st, 2009 at 12:14 pm
@Otto: don’t know if you still reside in NYC, but in case you do, Two Boots is available on Seamless Web – no need to even leave the apartment!
Goodbye, pants!
May 1st, 2009 at 12:14 pm
We have a Five Guys down here in PCB, and it is the tits.
We used to have a Qdoba, but it closed for some reason. Now I go to Moe’s and demand them to put the queso inside my burrito… the way God would have wanted it if he had known there was going to be a Mexico.
I’ll take Checker’s since Jackass up top decided to pick five at a time.
May 1st, 2009 at 12:15 pm
Moe’s. It’s like Chipolte, but better.
May 1st, 2009 at 12:15 pm
Charley’s Steakery. Best Grilled Sandwiches in Oregon.
May 1st, 2009 at 12:15 pm
So pissed Sheetz was picked. I used to go to school at Steelers training camp, and Sheetz was one of the only late-night places around. Two chili cheese dogs and a soft pretzel ftw.
http://www.sheetz.com/main/
May 1st, 2009 at 12:15 pm
It’s not even good but I’m gonna go with Checkers for the fuck of it. Fries were awethome.
May 1st, 2009 at 12:15 pm
Long John Silvers.
Best fast food chicken out there plus hush puppies.
May 1st, 2009 at 12:16 pm
Shit. Didn’t see that Grimey. Smooth pick.
May 1st, 2009 at 12:17 pm
Fast food versus sit down? This is sit down: http://www.le-gavroche.co.uk/
May 1st, 2009 at 12:17 pm
McDonald’s (Breakfast)
Somebody had to do it.
May 1st, 2009 at 12:18 pm
@ The other tim
Damn I never even thought to check if that was gone. Nice pick
May 1st, 2009 at 12:18 pm
for dessert – Cold Stone. A watermelon sorbet milk shake with white chocolate chips? Fuck and yes, and not gay at all
May 1st, 2009 at 12:19 pm
@ Otto Man – Katz’s is neither fast food nor a chain. But that pastrami sure is good. Advice to the uninitiated: Always tip the Dominican dudes cuttin’ that meat… you’ll end up with twice the sandwich.
For my first pick, I’ll take Buffalo’s own Ted’s Hot Dogs. http://www.tedsonline.com/ Best chili dogs west of the Mississippi.
May 1st, 2009 at 12:20 pm
Burgerville, a chain in the northwest, has awesome burgers and sweet potato fries that you can dip in marshmallow. I took them back to my hotel and made an inappropriate Fluff sandwich – http://burgerville.com/
May 1st, 2009 at 12:20 pm
@Spatula
Really?
May 1st, 2009 at 12:21 pm
Ah, I missed the chain part in the rules.
But it’s still fast food — you stand and order at a counter, then lug your shit to a table.
May 1st, 2009 at 12:23 pm
had double double and fries – both animal – for dinner last night.
A & W roadside joints — maybe just a CA chain? burger or chili dog backed up w/root beer float
May 1st, 2009 at 12:23 pm
A&W — a connie dog and a rootbeer float. I’m a T-2 diabetic, but it’s still worth the comma.
May 1st, 2009 at 12:24 pm
@Foxxy Brown Damnit
May 1st, 2009 at 12:24 pm
Steve – A Sausage McGriddle with the 152 pick in the draft? That’s a value pick.
May 1st, 2009 at 12:25 pm
Gotta go with Fuzzy’s Taco Shop. Local dives in the Fort Worth, Texas area. Not only do they have the best damn fish tacos around and 3 dollar goblets of beer, but they have a fairly perverted name. The ideal drunk food.
May 1st, 2009 at 12:25 pm
Ah, glad porky1’s not here – I get Lottaburger.
May 1st, 2009 at 12:26 pm
Has anyone ever been to a Wings Over… place? I used to practically live at Wings Over Ithaca during college.
May 1st, 2009 at 12:26 pm
Kings is a chain diner. I don’t know anybody from Pittsburgh that would consider Kings fast food.
May 1st, 2009 at 12:26 pm
@Foxxy Brown: definitely not just a CA thing. I’ve seen them in Philly, Syracuse and random parts of Jersey. Cheese curds and a root beer float is FTW
May 1st, 2009 at 12:26 pm
I think they can be local as long as there are multiple locations…
That said I’m going to go with Dairy Queen.
May 1st, 2009 at 12:28 pm

Boston Market 3pc.
May 1st, 2009 at 12:29 pm
Any place that serves great Poutine
May 1st, 2009 at 12:29 pm
When I want authentic New York cuisine, I go to Sbarro
May 1st, 2009 at 12:29 pm
@ Miami D — cheese curds and any type of beer FTW anywhere! i’m from D.C. and don’t recall ever seeing one in my East Coast/Mid Atl travels
@ Spatula — sorry!
May 1st, 2009 at 12:30 pm
man, if you weren’t in the first 5 picks you aren’t getting squat….
i’ll take Fazoli’s…. all you can eat garlic breadsticks
May 1st, 2009 at 12:30 pm
Anybody ever venture out to Spumoni Gardens in Brooklyn. Their sicilian slice is the best I’ve ever had.

That Ano-Wheat really unclogs me. Goes through me like a bloody Ferrari.
May 1st, 2009 at 12:32 pm
@Gootch – take it easy with that nickname, buddy.
May 1st, 2009 at 12:33 pm
Can’t believe Panera Bread is still on the board here. $10 for a tasty sammich, fries, and buffet-style soda and wireless. No better place to post on snarky gossip blogs all day. Biiiiiiiitch pleeze.
May 1st, 2009 at 12:33 pm
@Mayor McCheese: pizza in Brooklyn would have to be Grimaldi’s.
May 1st, 2009 at 12:34 pm
For desert/breakfast, I pick those Dunkin Donuts/Baskin Robbins hybrid stores. With a drive thru. God Bless America.
May 1st, 2009 at 12:34 pm
Kelly’s Roast Beef in the Boston area. Roast beef sandwiches, great fries and fried clams.
New England has the best fried clams. NO ONE DENIES THIS!
May 1st, 2009 at 12:34 pm
also for dessert, though were I stranded in a desert I would also want one
May 1st, 2009 at 12:36 pm
@ gooch – In keeping with today’s theme, consider me the McDowell’s to your McDonald’s. Damn, now I gave away my next pick.
May 1st, 2009 at 12:36 pm
DP Dough is still on the board? I’ll take it.
May 1st, 2009 at 12:37 pm
Freebird’s World Burrito
http://www.freebirds.com/
Texas only institution, but all others pale in comparison. Trust me on this. I’m fat for a reason
May 1st, 2009 at 12:39 pm
Krispy Kreme is now mine!
I’m done
May 1st, 2009 at 12:40 pm
Gootch – I hate the fact that your name is so close to mine, but God damnit I respect the hell out of that Coming to America reference.
Trey J Diggity – Are you from upstate New York? There was also a DP Dough where I went to school, that in conjunction with Wings Over Ithaca was pretty much responsible for my 30 lb college weight gain.
May 1st, 2009 at 12:41 pm
@ The Gooch: Yes, actually. I’m from Ithaca, grew up there. Loved Wings over Ithaca when it first came to town, and was excited as hell to find they have a chain in Columbus where I go to school.
May 1st, 2009 at 12:42 pm
Back Yard Burgers.
May 1st, 2009 at 12:43 pm
For my fellow Chicago burrito consumer, Angelas on Clark, just North of Fullerton…I have eaten El Famous, eaten Original La Bambas, Taco, Burrito, King, Tapatia…all of ‘em. Angela’s blows them out of the water, a grande steak burrito and cheese fries…just try, all i am asking.
And thanks to this thread, now time for second lunch…
May 1st, 2009 at 12:44 pm

May 1st, 2009 at 12:47 pm
@LaFavre’s Next Retirement: Kelly’s isn’t bad, but Harrison’s (not a chain, hence I didn’t draft it) in North Andover on 125 is far, far superior. Oh jeebus, the medium with sauce, radish, and sauce is good. Just be sure to get some sauce.
May 1st, 2009 at 12:47 pm
Zankou Chicken. If Beck sings about it, you know its good.
May 1st, 2009 at 12:48 pm
Spike’s Junkyard Dog’s , straight out of Rhode Island. Great selection of hot dog’s
http://www.spikesjunkyarddogs.com/
The Gootch, been to Wings over Ithaca
May 1st, 2009 at 12:48 pm
Jimmy John’s. Billy Club FTW.
May 1st, 2009 at 12:49 pm
My second pick violates the rules somewhat by not being a chain but it’s mostly for UU and Gooch anyway, in case either of them have been there. Viva Taqueria & Cantina in Ithaca, NY. Why? Because it’s some of the best hippy Mexican food I’ve had, ever, and I used to work there. It was a blast.
May 1st, 2009 at 12:49 pm
Shit, I go to Mighty Taco for lunch and Ted’s comes off the board. Sahlen hot dogs are the only way to go. I’ll take Nick Tahoe’s (yes, I know the name changed). Cheeseburger garbage plate please.
May 1st, 2009 at 12:50 pm
with the-a 194th pick of the draft, Navin R. Johnson selects HOOTERS.
the food might be nasty, but the beer’s cold and then there’s the, well, the HOOTERS!
May 1st, 2009 at 12:52 pm
Gray’s Papayas.
I win.
May 1st, 2009 at 12:52 pm
I’ll take Potbelly’s. But the live music is a fucking stupid idea.
May 1st, 2009 at 12:52 pm
To wrap up my late-round trifecta, I’ll take Roscoe’s Chicken and Waffles.
http://www.roscoeschickenandwaffles.com/
Awesome chicken and/or waffles. If you don’t know, you better ask a friend of youuuuuuurs.
May 1st, 2009 at 12:52 pm
I’m also taking Anderson’s Roast Beef and Frozen Custard. Cause face it, I’m the only loser picking places in WNY. The rest of you assholes live in real cities.
May 1st, 2009 at 12:52 pm
@CGB, I ate there back in January right down in the Commons. Very good. I was at Cornell for work. Nice beer selection. Very hippie like but then again what isn’t hippie like out in Ithaca.
May 1st, 2009 at 12:53 pm
Plaza Azteca, not sure if it’s really a chain, but there’s like 10 of them here. good mexican food, only takes like 5 minutes to get to you.
May 1st, 2009 at 12:53 pm
Joe’s Hotdogs, Joliet, IL @ 6 corners. Greatest late night food in the Chicago exurbs, greasy fries, they use celery salt and my friend witnessed a vagrant get backed over by a dizzy-broad teen one night.
May 1st, 2009 at 12:53 pm
Gray’s Papaya in NYC bitches! Best hot dogs in the world, for recession prices every day!
How in the hell did it fall this far?
May 1st, 2009 at 12:53 pm
Los Betos: 8 of them in AZ plus Idaho makes me believe that this qualifies. Plus, nothing tastes as good at 2 am as a steak, egg, cheese & Potato burrito.
May 1st, 2009 at 12:53 pm
Hooters is a restaurant, not fast food.
May 1st, 2009 at 12:55 pm
Fuck! I almost forgot about Jim’s Steakout. Mine.
May 1st, 2009 at 12:55 pm
FUCK! CobraCommander beat me to it while I was typing. But I added a link so I should win.
OK then, Dallas BBQ has to get my vote since it rarely takes them more than 5 minutes to bring our food and drinks to the table.
May 1st, 2009 at 12:56 pm
@ Angela’s Burritos……no chance The Taco & Burrito House on Fullerton & Ashland destroys all. Their Chicken Fajita burrito will change your life.
That being said, can I include Gino’s East? Its not technically fast food, but pickings are slim (would have taken QDoba or Whataburger) and there are like 12 of them around Chicago. Deep dish cheese and spinach for me.

May 1st, 2009 at 12:59 pm
I swear I didn’t see this anywhere in this long-ass list of places… but going with L&L Hawaiian BBQ. Because I like my 2 hamburger patties to be slathered in gravy and covered with fried eggs. And the macaroni salad is tasty

May 1st, 2009 at 1:02 pm
Wow, Chicken Express still on the board?? Badass chicken, corn nuggets, fried okra, you name it. Plus their Dr. Pepper is made with real sugar! My ultimate stoned munch stop.
May 1st, 2009 at 1:02 pm
@AKAggie: That was picked ages ago.
May 1st, 2009 at 1:04 pm
How about this for a late round steal? Cheeburger Cheeburger. Mammoth grilled steakburgers, loads of free toppings (including onion rings, guac, and crushed garlic (!!)), and the sides of fries and o-rings are a meal in themselves.
Burger pic here.

Weinershnitzel: I love me a good Chili-dog. And back when I was a poor college student, as opposed to being a poor college graduate, they used to have 25 cent hotdogs or burgers on wednesdays.

Since I know everything has already been picked these being that I am late to the partyhere are my favorites…as I am sure everyone here cares
In-N-Out
Taco Johns
The Varsity
Chick Fil A
Moe’s
Chicago Hotdog (Hotdog joint in Marietta, Ga)
Steak n Shake
Jersey Mike’s Subs
I did a cross country trip with my father for a month from VA to Cali…..Taco Johns, and In-N-Out were the best, in my opinion, of places we dont have in the east coast.
May 1st, 2009 at 1:06 pm
Jackin’, do yourself a favor and abandon Dallas BBQ for the much much better food at Rub at 23rd & 7th.
May 1st, 2009 at 1:07 pm
Seems like none of you visit Seattle very often and therefore aren’t blessed with the knowledge of deliciousness that Dick’s drive-ins contain. Cheap, greasy and open til 2am. A must for me everytime I come home.
May 1st, 2009 at 1:07 pm
@Angela’s Burritos
I work in the loop, and am far too lazy to cab up there to try.

@King Ed Ra: The only reason? Please.
May 1st, 2009 at 1:14 pm
I know someone else already picked it, but I’m not playing for reals – it’s hard to beat Chipotle for reasonably priced but still pretty good Tex-Mex-type food. Those carnitas fucking rock. Their guacamole has too many onions and too much goddam cilantro in it, though. I’m sure someone will disagree, but whatever, I like to taste the avocado, not the onions and cilantro.
Five Guys fries are the shit, too.
As someone from OK, I can tell you that Sonic is – eh… You can get tater tots and corn dogs there, and that’s a plus, and the drinks are, well, drinks. The hamburger is just average. I’ve eaten plenty of them, just sayin’, nothing special, except that it’s a drive-in and is inexpensive.
May 1st, 2009 at 1:16 pm
Mr. Charles’ Chicken…..it’s in the Ghetto of Charlotte, and I guarantee if you are white you will be the only white person there but damn do they have great chicken and awesome seafood. This place BLOWS Prices Chicken Coop out of the damn water (for those of you from Charlotte who know what I am talking about)
May 1st, 2009 at 1:16 pm

@ Otto: I haven’t been to a Dallas BBQ since I moved out of the city and I did go to Rub last month and I agree that the food was great.
I’ll take this with my next pick: Caporal’s Fried Chicken in Washington Heights. A 3 piece and a mess of fries in a cardboard box for like $3. I’m comin’ for ya Elizabeth…
May 1st, 2009 at 1:17 pm
@slash – agreed. nothing special about sonic. but for those of us outside of the south, those damned espn commercials make it seem damn interesting.

May 1st, 2009 at 1:31 pm
Seattle isn’t known for it’s fried chicken but damn is Ezell’s Chicken is super delicious. Their chicken pieces are abnormally large and a decent price but for my money I’ll take their chicken fingers with hot sauce, a side of potatoes & gravy and a cold 20oz orange Faygo. Ask Brandon Roy about Ezell’s their flagship location is right across the street from his high school.
May 1st, 2009 at 1:31 pm
Hi, sorry, I’m late….oh fuck Skyline is off the board.

Gootch Says: “@slash – agreed. nothing special about sonic. but for those of us outside of the south, those damned espn commercials make it seem damn interesting.”
Sure, just sayin’, you’re not missing all that much. It’s a drive-in with a large selection of drink offerings, that’s what distinguishes it from other burger places. Better than McDonald’s, which isn’t saying much. It’s pretty fast, good place to go if you want junk food and giant beverages in less than 10 minutes (usually). It’s pleasant when the weather is nice. The only thing Sonic had that I would consider a must-try is the fried pickles, but the ones near me don’t offer them anymore. No idea why.

Does nobody else love Taco Casa ? It puts the Bells and the Buenos to shame. Cheap as hell and doesn’t taste like fast food.

I think their fries are the best fast-food variety of fries. As fast-food fries go. And the frosty is pretty awesome, too.
May 1st, 2009 at 1:39 pm
Late.
Yep, Sonic is pretty boring fare. But if you’re a sick fuck (like me), who always has 2 or 3 varities of Tobasco in the glove box and some limes in your ever present cooler (hooray cold beer), Sonic can be arright.
A Pick? Uuuuuuuuhh, Red Robin?!?

Broadway Burger. I think it’s only at New York New York, Las Vegas, but DAMN they give you a ridiculous amount of food. So damn good!!!

May 1st, 2009 at 1:48 pm
I forgot about Red Robin, but are they technically a fast food place or a sit down restaurant? I might be splitting hairs, but I would vote for the latter there. Still love Red Robin’s food with all that Seasoned Salt on e’rythang.
Next up, I’ll take Famous Famiglia. Chain? check. Good ass pizza? check. Served in less than 5 minutes? You bet your ass baby.

When I lived in Wisconsin there was this Mexican chain called La Bamba’s. Burritos as big as your head.
May 1st, 2009 at 1:50 pm
I think Wendy’s has the best dollar menu out there. junior bacon cheeseburger, double stack and fries for 3 bucks? Yes please.
May 1st, 2009 at 1:52 pm
I’m glad Five Guys went first, I’d say they’re even better than In-N-Out.
My pick is European McDonalds. When you spend a semester abroad, you drink a lot. and two cheeseburgers for the equivalent of $1.25 sounds really damn good when you’re drunk. Also if you ever go to Stockholm, check out a place called Max burger. That place is the tits

No to mention the double cheese burger and spicky chicken sandwich, which are also awesome.
May 1st, 2009 at 1:55 pm
@ Slothrop – Harrison’s has, quite possibly, the best french fries in the world.
May 1st, 2009 at 1:57 pm
I know Whattaburger already went but their late-night breakfast is amazing. Just can’t beat their taquitos and the honey butter chicken biscuit is on another level.
May 1st, 2009 at 1:58 pm
Pollo Loco/Pollo Feliz – That is some good ass spanish rotisserie chicken.
May 1st, 2009 at 1:58 pm
Lupo’s, Binghamton NY
People not from the area always wonder why we go apeshit for spiedies (cubed and marinated chicken or pork cooked on a grill) but a chicken spiedie sub and salt potatoes drowning in melted butter is fucking awesome
May 1st, 2009 at 1:58 pm
@aquaman: what’s a “spicky chicken sandwich?” Is it chicken with beans on it?
May 1st, 2009 at 2:02 pm
Upon further review, Red Robin is more of a sit-down place. Pick Redacted! (But what about Waffle house, Denny’s IHOP et al?)
May 1st, 2009 at 2:03 pm
Nobody picked Wawa? Blows Sheetsz out of the water.
May 1st, 2009 at 2:03 pm
Little John’s Deli in Charlottesville, VA. Late night food when you’re hammered and middle of the day food after class. Either way, this place is iconic at UVA and the food is off tha hook.
May 1st, 2009 at 2:04 pm
I’m gonna go for another Oklahome fave here and pull Taco Mayo. Cheap tex-mex please.
May 1st, 2009 at 2:07 pm
Not sure if this would qualify…but Wawa’s has made huge strides since I went to college in the 80’s. Variety, step to the kiosk, order your food the way you want and get the rest of your needs(beer, heavily salted snack products) and your order is good to go.
Many years ago they served the UndaDogs, which I believe was how they came up with the name Wawa’s( the sound you’d make later as you crawled to the can)
May 1st, 2009 at 2:08 pm
Another southern favorite (pretty much only in AL) for early morning hangovers… Milo’s. Who doesn’t like a greasy hamburger smothered in BBQ sauce and a pickle.

May 1st, 2009 at 2:15 pm
Oklahoma Joe’s in KC. It’s BBQ in a gas station so it’s fast food. It just opened a second location so it’s a chain. I got no pics, and when I tried to link to a website the first time I did this the post didn’t show so you’ll have to google it (if you give a shit).
/wonders why this didn’t post the first time

Capt’n D’s since StarterWife got Long John Silvers. (Ctrl F really works….really!)

May 1st, 2009 at 2:19 pm
Pizzapapalis in Greek Town Detroit.
Fuck and ya.
Best pizza ever and is the only bright spot about going to a Lions game. Plus, you can sit and drop car-clearing farts for the next 3 days.
May 1st, 2009 at 2:24 pm
@devin hester’s speech coach- StuSB has a question for you.
Arby’s, long gone.

May 1st, 2009 at 2:32 pm
As a native Angeleno, I’m going to go with our infamous bacon-wrapped hot dogs/bacon-dogs/”club-dogs” that you could pick up outside of any Hollywood club after 2AM. Sure, the carts you buy them from are nothing more than modified shopping carts with sheet-metal, and sure, the “vendor” bones out whenever the cops come around, but nothing tastes better after a night of pounding booze and grinding sluts.

May 1st, 2009 at 2:40 pm
I’ll take Krusty Burger.
Just give me a Triple Double Meat-Flavored Sandwich, some Fiesta Globs, Mutton Buttons and Twisty Lard, then a Krusty Partially-Gelatinated Non-Dairy Gum-Based Beverage to wash it down and I’m happy. Oh yeah, throw in a Ribwich- but they might be available only on the unmanned offshore oil rig.

May 1st, 2009 at 2:52 pm
draft their favorite fast food establishment
300 comments in and we’re picking Arby’s fries? Establishment not menu item. And BW3’s isn’t fast food. Shouldn’t fast food mean you order at a counter and within a short period of time you’re stuffing your fat face? I’m willing to let pizzeria’s count however.
/On to the sexy!
//Am I right?
May 1st, 2009 at 2:58 pm
I don’t think it counts, but Duff’s in Orchard Park is the spot for wings. Fast food if you call for takeout, I guess. Also known as Hooters South.
May 1st, 2009 at 3:01 pm
My pick is European McDonalds. When you spend a semester abroad, you drink a lot. and two cheeseburgers for the equivalent of $1.25 sounds really damn good when you’re drunk.
I don’t know how it is for the rest of Europe, but did you know Italian McDonald’s sell beer? That blew my mind.
May 1st, 2009 at 3:02 pm
@Otto Man I guess I always just assumed you were a kansas citian, but since you obviously arent and no one took it, our crown jewel Winsteads FTW.
@newhope Oklahoma Joes= awesome.
@Gordon Bombay-Viva can’t count, but you can be sure as shit College Town Bagels counts. Oh I how I loved going there watching the hippies puor me coffees and slice bagels with their tats everywhere, and then going back at night for pints of saranac black forest. College was very good.
Also form my time back east, Duchess
May 1st, 2009 at 3:09 pm
@Gino: Can I also get a party-size bucket of flan?
May 1st, 2009 at 3:11 pm
@Quentin: Ah yes, the CTB. Their Brooklyn Bagel (egg, bacon, cheese on homemade bagels) is the tits. Also the Southwest Sourdough. omg I just came in my pants. Oh man, I’m so fucking hungry right now and I’m 8 hours away from Ithaca. :(
I’m surprised at how many people on KSK are from around Upstate.
@Superguard9: Speedies from Binghamton are awesome indeed.
May 1st, 2009 at 3:11 pm
I’m all Chicago-centric for this draft.
Harold’s Chicken Shack. That place is the holy grail for sick bastards like me that want to eat a whole 8-piece dark bucket with extra bbq sauce. That place is so good it has a fan site.
http://haroldschicken.com/
May 1st, 2009 at 3:12 pm
Big Kahuna Burger. It’s that HAW-waiian burger joint. It’s a tasty burger. If you like burgers try one some time. Me, I can’t usually get ‘em because my girlfriend’s a vegetarian, which pretty much makes me a vegetarian, but I do love the taste of a good burger.
Do you mind if I have some of your tasty beverage to wash this down? Ah, that hit the spot.
May 1st, 2009 at 3:17 pm
From the 313…
Tubby Subs.
I live in ‘tucky now and when people come down to visit the requirement is they stop and bring this.
May 1st, 2009 at 3:20 pm
The Red Squirrel. Double-decker sandwiches in Cincinnati. Pretty darn great.
May 1st, 2009 at 3:21 pm
@LaFavre’s Next Retirement: oh god yes, Harrison’s fries are outstanding. I miss that place. Especially the smiling faces behind the counter. I also love their ordering system they call out which bears no similarity to what’s on the board. ‘Med. Radish. Sauce.’ is my standard.
May 1st, 2009 at 3:28 pm
@Coach Gordon: Upstate covers a lot of ground man. I couldn’t tell you shit about the Albany area.
May 1st, 2009 at 3:31 pm
Taco Bueno. A Visanthe Shiancoe-sized burrito for $1.99, and “party tacos” that are 80% the size of the normal tacos but you don’t feel bad about eating 36 of them.
Also, might I respectfully submit JC’s Burger House. Because a burger the size of a Mini Cooper can’t be anything but an awesome idea.
May 1st, 2009 at 3:34 pm
@Coach Bombay- if you go back to Ithaca try the Brooklyn Biali. Same as you said but on biali. holy shit
May 1st, 2009 at 3:43 pm
Boston Market still up there? The chicken is just so damn good. After you get your swell on it’s a place you can load up and feel like it’s healthy too.
May 1st, 2009 at 3:47 pm

Another Chicago gem is A.P.Deli. Best corned beef sandwich in history – it’s piled so high you can’t even fit it in your mouth.

May 1st, 2009 at 4:11 pm
Can’t believe it hasn’t been taken yet, but Filiberto’s. I think it’s only an Arizona and California thing but godamn I’m surprised it made it this far. Maybe the best Mexican I’ve had (more Tex-Mex than fastfood/Taco Bell type stuff), cheap, and has a 24-hour drive-thru. Carne asada and guac burrito with rice and beans at 4 in the morning. Fuck and yes
May 1st, 2009 at 4:21 pm
Minneapolis-St. Paul pick:
Leann Chin’s. It’s similar in design to Panda Express, but far, far better. The ingredients, sauces, etc. make Panda Express seem like hot brown slop in a trough by comparisson.
Get two Chin Dynasty Platters (combo of your choice of chicken, beef or shrimp) with fried rice. Eat one there, get the other to go and put it in the fridge- it makes a great drunken/stoned midnight snack. You know, it’s quite rare for grub from a fast food joint to be any good as leftovers but Leann Chin’s Comtemporary Asian Cuisine always comes through.

Being a former Charlottesville native I couldn’t agree more. Do you like the Whitespot as well?
May 1st, 2009 at 7:01 pm
Count in another Upstate NYer who can’t believe Rocco got Mighty and Jim’s. I think you might be reaching for Duff’s, though. Does it count as a chain when there are only two locations?
I’ll take Pita Pit. I lived on their chicken caesar pitas in school.
May 1st, 2009 at 7:09 pm
I glossed over the comments, so I could be wrong, but I think I just got Baja Fresh 300+ picks in. That’s value. James Harrison as an undrafted free agent value. Granted, the stupid assholes got rid of Burrito Dos Manos, but their Diablo Shrimp Burrito is the tits. Especially because it doesn’t skimp on the skrimps.
And because I know no one else wants it, I’ll take Cluck U Chicken. Me and Cluck U-Pac rule College Park.
May 1st, 2009 at 7:17 pm
Fuck. Looks like Tracer Bullet took it. Nevermind.
I’ll have to settle for disgusting, disgusting Cluck U then.
May 1st, 2009 at 7:38 pm
Wow. Lots of places.
I’ll go with Norm’s Burgers on Whittier Blvd. “Don’t forget the pastrami!”
May 1st, 2009 at 8:04 pm
Dammit SDBruin, King Tacoo is a solid pick.
For the Chicago area gotta go with Lou Malnatis.
For the Quad Cities gotta go with Harris Pizza – multiple locals.
As for the “-Bertos” in SoCal, I’m quite partial to Robertos. Carne asada burrito and rolled tacos. Fuck yeah.
May 1st, 2009 at 8:40 pm
sure they might not be a chain, but Burger Hut actually has 2 locations in Butler Pa.. unreal fucking chili cheeseburger.. and the hot dog shop.. makes any other hot dog look like a pussy
May 1st, 2009 at 9:27 pm
@ROCCO, shit, you took everything in the area. Sucks not having a computer at work. Did you get the chicken sandwich at the old Pink too?
May 1st, 2009 at 10:19 pm
With the 336th pick in the 2009 … fuck it. Spiedie & Rib Pit in Binghamton, unless Heid’s of Liverpool counts as a chain.
Can’t believe all y’all took DP Dough, CTB, AND Viva. Do people major in food at IC?

I’ll take all your mothers’ pastrami tacos. Cheap and sloppy.
May 2nd, 2009 at 2:19 am
Five Guys and In ‘N Out are interchangeable. I’ve lived in both CA and NC and they taste the same. Cheesy, greasy, meaty, and motherfucking delicious.
Nice recommendations from the big cities. I will drive my RV to these restaurants and eat their food. I hope they’re open in 40 years.

May 2nd, 2009 at 4:41 am
Fuck all of you that think five guys is like In and Out. In and Out has a way better burger not to mention the price you pay for five guys is a rip off. they also don’t grill everything so its like your eating raw mushrooms and onions who the hell likes that. Not to mention anyone can put bbq sauce on a burger but there’s only one In and Out sauce of awesomeness.

What’s the fucking point of these drafts if submitters can’t follow the rules of not repeating and don’t know the difference between fast food and sit down restaurants. If someone comes to take your order at a table, it’s not fast food. If the menu is not on the wall, it’s not fast food. And since this was about chains, local stand-alone places don’t count. Read and follow the fucking rules or as this list proves, it’s just a list of guys typing “In and Out Burger” or whatever shit-hole they regularly wander in to drunk.
Rant aside, I’ll go defunct with Burger Chef (1954-1996) – had a “works bar” which was ten times more dangerous than any swine flu bug. Kind of like fast food Russian Roulette.

@ CGC, UU & Gooch: Not really within the rules for a pick as it isn’t a chain, but how about Johnny’s Big Red Hot Truck that used to park at the U-Halls @ Cornell. Back in college, I used to hike my broke, carless ass uphill both ways (Ithaca being the only place you can actually do that in real life) in a blizzard to get that shit.
May 2nd, 2009 at 2:54 pm
Day later, and I still get the steal of the draft. Kopps in Milwaukee. No better out there
May 2nd, 2009 at 4:56 pm
Brock wins. Freebird’s is absolutely perfect. Chipotle Tortillas? Yes please.
May 2nd, 2009 at 5:58 pm
Los Panchos in San Diego (3 or 4 different locations), but if that doesn’t qualify, El Pollo Loco is still left? Way fucking better than that Taco Bell/ Del Taco bullshit.
Not a chain but Daglas’ pastrami burgers and the big brown lunch-bag full of seasoned fries are worth going into the San Fernando Valley for everytime I’m in LA.
May 2nd, 2009 at 6:36 pm

Thanks to all of you cuntwaffles for reminding me of all of the delicious grease I enjoyed in good old upstate SC when I lived there for 2 years.
I miss Zaxbys, best chicken fingers ever, cant count out the texas toast…
The Beacon Drive-In: Maybe not fast food in the traditional sense, but you get your shit in under a minute. As far as I know it is only in Spartanburg SC. Chilli-cheese-a-plenty with about 9 strips of bacon covered with like 3 lbs of fries and onion rings. It makes the monster burger from hardees look like a salad. mmmmmm…. grease orgasm. yes, i am fat.
