Isn't that the sign of a great meal....wait, that doesn't happen to all of you?

I think they must use something to keep the fixings fresh that disagrees with me, of course since I did that I have not been back in 11 years lol

Luckily the Fuuds closest to me is across the street from Captain Harvey;s seafood, so I get carryout when the guys go out

There's 3 places I'll eat only when I am drunk:

Perkins, Denny's, and Taco Bell.

I treat myself on Thursdays (Fridays is cafeteria food - Chicken Salad sandwich). Wendy's, Subway or McDonalds Black Angus (occasionally KFC or Taco Bell). Usually I get chicken, but I love my french fries.

McDonalds Black Angus doesn't make me feel like crap 30 minutes after I eat it like their other burgers do.

I don't do fast food either but every once in a while I'll give in and go to McDonalds or some place and get food.

Never ate at Taco Bell... Never.

What do you guys think of Sonic? They finally put one in the Baltimore-Metro area, and I've been there around 6 times. They're pretty good, but their fries could use some work. I love "Happy Hour" 1/2 Slushes and Drinks though...

CRAP! I didn't know there was one until now. I know where I'm getting my Cherry Limeade fix!

Back in my college town, our favorite thing to do was order Route 44 drinks and then refill them with booze before going to the football games.

I will cop out to having had some bison once or twice during the past six years, but I've never tried ostrich.

went to Chipotle today. Just to make sure I was giving an honest recommendation, for the first time in many years I got the steak burrito instead of the barbaracoa. Never again. The barbaracoa has way more flavor and spice than the steak. I stand by my original recommendation.

No mention of the chicken burrito? Steak is ok, carnitas doesn't have much flavor and I've never tried barbacoa, but the chicken burrito at Chipotle is just heavenly. That, and some chips with green salsa.

[George70]

Today I actually went to a real Mexican restaurant here in Clinton - Los Caballeros, and I ordered the Special La Casa de Pollo. It was very good, so good that I can still taste it in my mind.

With chips and salsa, and a diet drink, I had a very good meal.

[Ed_Reed20]

You've got to admire Taco Bell for their response to this "controversy".

Chicken's my go-to. And I get the same exact thing on the side

Chicken, rice, no beans, cheese, green salsa, and corn. Getting hungry hahah

(Original White Castle at 3:00 am, best fast food ever back in the day)

[AwakenTheDemon]

Who knew less than 50% beef could taste so good when it's slathered in "cheese sauce" and tomatoes.

[MagicianCamille]

I haven't eaten fast food in over 2 years and I don't miss it one bit. Strangely enough I haven't been sick in about the same amount of time either.

[bpytnjr58]

I no longer go to Taco Bell or Del Taco....We make our own burritos,i just go to the Mexican section at the supermarket for those "authentic" spices.

I am a fan of Baja Fresh because everything is whole--real beans, real tomato's, real chicken, real cheese-- no slime or mystery.

I LOVE Baja Fresh. Although, I did have two co-workers get food poisoning from there.

Baja Fresh is also one of my favorites. i always get the shrimp tacos. Just like Chipotle, they use real items in their food, and actually taste like it.

Man, I really miss Taco Bell. My usual was a Double Decker taco, bean and cheese burrito with no onions and two nacho supremes. That always use to hit the spot when I would get ff work at 9 at night. I also remember back in High School, my other place to go was Carls Jr's. I would get the six dollar Western Bacon with criss cut fries and ranch sauce on the side. I'm happy to say I don't eat fast food anymore lol

Fish Tacos or the Steak Quesadillas for me. Crap, now I'm going to have to run over there tonight.

When I was young and in the service, a night out drinking either ended at the Waffle House -OR- Taco Bell: 3 Chicken Soft Tacos and 3 Chicken Mexi-Melts all with sour cream.
