My Junk Food Picks

For some reason, maybe because it's summer, I just feel like posting about something utterly silly, irrelevant and useless. Like
fast food. Now let me say, we rarely eat at fast food places anymore, largely because of the monetary cost, but also due to
the high fat content, and general junkiness. I AM NOT ADVOCATING A FAST FOOD DIET!!! Having said that, sometimes I have a yen for a Big Mac and fries like you wouldn't believe. So here are my picks for the best fast food restaurants, in several
categories, and I welcome anyone else's opinions on the matter.

Best Hamburger: Hardees' hamburgers taste like they just came off the grill. However, a Hardees restaurant can be hard to
find. We only have one in our town. As I already mentioned, I also have occasional cravings for

a Big Mac from McDonald's.

Best Fries: I have three favorites (although, as I said I hardly ever eat them). First place goes to Chick Fil A's waffle fries.
In second place are Penguin Point's nice fat crinkle fries, which I haven't eaten in years, but I just know are as
good as ever.
And the fallback third choice is McDonald's fries. Don't even mention those horrid french fries they have at
Burger King. Arby's curly fries are okay, but they have a nasty oily aftertaste. (Sorry, Burger King and Arby's!)

Best Chicken: Hands down, the best chicken anywhere is Chick Fil A. Please watch this video for a little musical
commentary.

Best Subs: Well, if you want a healthier sub, Subway is pretty good, but if you're splurging, and want something tasty,
Quizno's is the best I've had. I have to admit, though, that I haven't tried all the sub places out there.
Arby's Italian sub is okay, but the quality is inconsistent.

Best Shakes: Ooh, that's a hard one. Chick Fil A has great handmade shakes, but I also love Steak and Shake's.
And what about Dairy Queen? I've only been going there for ice cream my whole life. I still don't
think their shakes come up to Chick Fil A and Steak and Shake, though.

Best pizza: Pizza Hut has good pizza, but far and away my favorite is Pizza King's Royal Feast

pizza. It doesn't cost lots of money for nothing. Which is why we only eat it at other

people's houses.

I realize there are many other options now in fast food, but I'll leave those for someone else

to critique.

Now go eat some vegetables.
