JFF- If You Could Only Choose One...

If you could only have access to ONE fast food place for the rest of forever, which one would it be?

We rarely eat fast food, really the only time I think we do is if I want an egg and cheese biscuit from McDonalds (which is within walking distance)... other than that, we never eat fast food, really...

My husband and I were talking last night about how great it would be to have a Taco Bell close... not that we'd ever really eat there, but at least we'd have the option!

So, if you could choose ONLY ONE fast food place to have access to for forever, which one would it be and why?

Fast food being Wendys, Chik Fil A, Burger King, Taco Bell, McDonalds, Arbys...

(Yeah, I'm bored and hungry)

What can I do next?

Taco bell :)

btw... we have a subway near us that does have a drive thru! Its located right next to all the bars and at "bar time" the drive thru and the express window is the only thing open, the lobby is not. If the driver shows its Designated Driver wrist band ( DD's get free soda at most bars) they get a $1 off of thier sandwich

How about Boston Market? Are they still around?
If I drive a few miles from home I will find almost every fast food place around. We don’t go very often so it is hard to say. My daughter loves CiCi’s pizza does that count as fast food?

Probably Chipotle. I don't really do fast food very often, but I can cope with Chipotle. Of course, In-n-Out would be a close second! But, since I'm not in CA, I have learned to live without that already. ;)

Ugh. That's a tough one. I would get sick of eating ONLY from ANY one of them if it were my only choice any time I wanted fast food. You end up having to choose someplace that has a wide variety, even if everything they serve is subpar. :(

I guess I'd vote McD's. Burgers, Chicken sandwiches, decent breakfast choices (taste wise), salads. Most places I would ONLY eat the chicken, or ONLY eat the burger. But at McD's I COULD eat either. Wouldn't be my first choice for either, either, lol.
But yeah.... having a Taco Bell around is nice for that every 3rd month bit of variety! :)

ETA: Generally speaking, however, I LOVE "5 Guys Burgers & Fries" (which I have heard compared to In & Out Burger, which we don't have here in the Southeast), and Panda Express. ChikFilA would be my "chicken" place.
ETA again: No, I don't count anywhere that you have to wait or doesn't have a drive-thru as fast food. Does In & Out have a drive-thru? 5Guys does not. :( Neither does Subway, nor Larry's Giant Subs, nor Firehouse Subs --both of which I prefer over Subway.

I live in a very small town, but we've got a ridiculously large number of restaurants in general, but especially fast food joints. We've got: McD's, Burger King, Wendy's, KFC/Taco Bell, Hardee's, Popeye's, & Sonic. Aside from those we have literally over 30 other restaurants (my daughter & I actually counted on Thursday while Daddy was getting gas & putting air in the tires of the car). I love Hardee's so that's probably what I would go with in my town, but Chic-fil-a is better.

ETA--ooh, I forgot Panera!! If I had to pick 1 for ever & ever, that's the one.

I cant believe I only saw one other say Wendys. Id eat at Wendys and never miss the others and I dont do fast food real often. Maybe once a month. I get salads, or chicken sandwiches, or my husband would get the burger and frosty. They have great chili. So once a month or so would be fine with me to hit Wendys and never feel like it was junk fast food like some places. I refuse In-n-Out now since the grease poured out of the little box carrier and stained the seat of my car last time. It was gross and Im glad I didnt eat that. I like Del Taco too, but not enough to limit myself to only them. (o:

Hmm...we have one of everything, almost. No Sonic and no Crackerbarrel. But Crackerbarrel isn't fast food.

Sometimes we have to stop WAY more often than I'd like to. And it's normally McDonald's because the kids are happy with happy meals and I'm happy that they eat the apples :).

For me though, well I'm have Chipotle right now for lunch. But if that isn't fast food, I really could leave the rest behind...

We have a few Subways down here that have drive-thrus. (I used to work at one of them.)

I'd say Subway or Taco Bell. I love both and don't have them nearly as often as I would like. (Then again, I'm a vegetarian now, so I can't have much of anything at Taco Bell, now.)
