Australian here: Red Rooster. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad if they changed their oil every few decades, but the last (and final) time I ordered it, it was just bad.

habbib's and mcdonalds respectively

My favorite is probably Bojangles chicken. I don't get to the southern US very often, but when I do I always get some of their chicken.

My least favorite is probably Wendy's. They seem to suck just about every time.

Triple Oโ€™s (local chain) is my favourite.

McDโ€™s for 2nd least favourite due to giving me the runs every time. Burger King for 1st least favourite for being disgusting.

Least Favorite: Also McDonald's

They're all not good and over-priced aren't they? Does anyone really have a favourite?

Favourite: Coco Ichibanya. Lifesaver in Japan for me, as they offer vegan curries and exist in smaller cities where other options for food I can eat are scarce. Also, very tasty.

Least favourite: Mc D's I guess. Only went there once in the last decade. Food was crappy and overpriced. Annoying ordering system as well.

Least favorite: Never had one in Canada, but the ones in India were at a premium price point for some weird reason. Was the food premium? No. Quite the opposite actually. Alongside this, definitely Tim Hortons. Fuck that place. So so unsanitary. Coffee is burnt, tea is bitter, their Boston creams taste like sugary snot packed in a sugar bomb dough... I have no idea why people get stuff from Tim's.

Most favorite: Calgary coop's non packaged food or whatever it's called. Their bakery produces DELICIOUS stuff. Very slightly more expensive than Tim's, but their Boston creams are so so good. Less sweet AND THEY HAVE SOME FLAVOR. Their muffins and fritters are massive (and delicious).

Coop gas bars are severely underrated too. They sell French vanillas (and other such sweet drinks like hazelnut lattes or whatever) there too! Cheaper than Tim's, bigger portion sizes. They have coffee and tea too, but I've never tasted it. Oh yes, they have slushies too! Again, massive portion sizes, cheaper than Tim's.

There's also the added advantage that coop is a consumer coop, so it's closer to market socialism than the other options ยฏโ \โ _โ (โ ใƒ„โ )โ _โ /โ ยฏ

i mean I don't really go to them anymore but its a bit hard to compare when some are more expensive and others are not. So like portillos and bueno beef are pricier but nicer food. Taco bell could fill both slots for me. They can be pretty trumpy but man they got my number on some things. crunchwrap, doritos tacos, nacho fries. Then like popeyes is probably the best I can think of quality to price ratio wise. For national burger chains I feel wendys is pretty good price to quality wise. fast food chains in general kinda suck though and with inflation are just not worth it at all.

[โ€“] Nemo@slrpnk.net 1 points 4 hours ago

Taco Johns is the favorite, obviously.

Favorite: In-N-Out. As a California native, I always have to stop whenever I'm near one, and it literally has never disappointed. It's always just as tasty, just as fresh, and it's always a decent "budget" option ($11-13 for a combo meal that you know is gonna be delicious ain't half bad).

Least favorite: McDonald's probably; I don't count BK, but I don't think they're bad just not on my radar. It's the one I probably eat the least because it's just overrated and actual slop by now.
