The quality if ingredients is high.

Mexican it is not.

And out here, it's $10 dollars with guacamole and tax.

This. I can get full off a chipotle burrito and feel very satisfied. Seriously, $7 for a burrito the size of my calf? Why the hell not?

Yeah, I don't get the guac usually. I just do the steak bowl with peppers, hot salsa, a small amount of sour cream and cheese. Brown rice.

It's protein, a little bit of fiber, and not all that incredibly high on the fat content the way any kind of fried food would be. I consider that a win for a meal on the go.

If I want real Mexican I know the right places.

It's all good if you can find food that you enjoy. I have been eating a low fat, low sodium, high fiber diet with lots of fruits and vegetables for several months. I didn't even do it on purpose. I just started craving that kind of food. I am taking in more sugar now that I have quit smoking, hard candy and gum to keep my mind off of it. Totally worth it.

I think it is about the same here in Illinois. Not a fan. The place that does have insanely good ingredients is Papa Murphy's pizza. You do have to cook it yourself, but damn that shit is always tight. And I know it's been discussed before.

like the waffle fries the rest no idea, they are right next to a in'n out burger so get fries there animal style burgers there
good to go

Chick-fil-a is slightly overrated. And that is being nice. Their spicy chicken is a joke. Not spicy at all. Chipotle just doesn't do it for me flavor wise. I don't want to call it Mexican, I don't want to call it tex-mex. It's the Jimmy John's of the ameri-mex flair. Papa Murphy's has always been disgusting to me. Panera Bread beats them all as far as fast food goes.

I think it sucks. That being said my sister and her family swears by it.

One of us is wrong and it's probably me, but I can live with it. If I want some chicken I'll go to KFC and get the mutant genetically altered caged midget original recipe or the occasional LJS.

I love hushpuppies, but you can only eat LJS maybe once a year or you'll die.

Try to remember how many times you have ever visited LJS in your lifetime. Now think about your age in years. If years of age>number of visits then you are probably fine. I think, no, I am pretty sure that my LJS ratio is less than 2 to 1.

Chicken, for me, is the ultimate 'rich man/poor man' food. I detest bad chicken [with an absurdly high threshold on what constitutes 'bad.'] But love good chicken on par with the most extravagant delicacies.

Say KFC versus Strouds. A piece of KFC > 30 seconds post fryer can make my stomach turn, all clammy, mushy and greasy, and not in a good way. But Strouds brings out that pan fried breast, with perfect seasoning and natural juices straining to be released, heaven on earth.

Same with Italian, a good Spedini, or some grilled breast in Angel Hair Alfredo, Nirvana.

But a FF chicken sammich needs to either be spicy, really fresh, or accompanied with a lot of great condiments/sauces.

Re: beef - from Taco Bell ground to Ruth's Chris top sirlion, I'm a lot more forgiving up and down the line.

Wow. I remember as a kid when the Taco Tico in Emporia, KS would have three tacos for a dollar. Every single time Dad would round up the family and we would go gorge ourselves on tacos. Good times.

Went to Chik Fil A once. They were giving away some new free item. It was good. Not convenient for me here, so I don't go.

It's ****ing fab! They put honey mustard on it, and I really didn't expect to like it nearly as much as I did. Best ff burger I've had in some time.

Still call them Chik A Fil. Don't know why.
