I can't believe Arby's is winning (other doesn't count, damnit) and Jack in the Box only has one vote. All of you who live in a state without Jack in the Box need to go to California and eat there right now!

Arby's is winning? Very strange. In the old days I would have put Taco Bell, I ate there a few times a week at least. Now though I have to go with Wendy's, I mean it's awesome. Plus you can't beat a Frostie.

Aw man! I have to agree. I ate at Chipotle for the first time last night. Damn good! Their vegetarian burrito was awesome. I hate the fact that most places idea of a vegetarian dish is the same thing as the meat dish minus the meat Chipotle is freakin' awesome

Sorry. I have never actually seen an In&Out, so it wasn't on my mind.

In & Out is the only place I eat hamburgers (other than at home). Too bad they don't have a store in Oregon......

Yep. And the exact same ensuing conversation about what was left out, and why, and blah blah

An interesting fact about Taco Bell, is it is considered and "Inferior Product."

Let me explain:
Inferior products are products consumers will switch to alternatively from higher priced/higher quality products. In economic down times, Taco Bell will either see an upswing in business or less of a decline that competitors. Then when the good times roll once again, Taco Bell's fortunes will turn south, and their competitors, like Arbys and Jack in the Box will see better buisness.

Interesting, eh? I learned it a while back in an econ class.

I get to Taco Bell more often, but my favourite is Long John Silver's!
If it's not real food or has inferior ingredients, don't tell me.

but I'd eat it anyway.

If you knew the chefs I know you wouldn't eat in restaurants either.

I went with Wendy's. I've been addicted to the Spicy Chicken sandwich lately.

I voted for BK.

Another good choice is Checkers. I really like their burgers. That may come from the year in college where there was one located between my residence and campus. Ate there almost every other day. Probably could have wallpapered the apartment with their burger wrappers. They do have some of the best fries in the fast food industry. Don't eat them very often now since there is not one convinient to me.

Damn, 5x5? 6x6? Wow ya'll must be really hungry...


But how about Del Taco? Some things there are better than Taco Bell, and the drive-thru is 24 hours.
