Guys, can we get back to the flamewar over salt? Because my plan is to get enough flames and enough salt together, that I can run a liquid sodium reactor and get free energy for life.

OK. Arginine tartrate sucks! You have 10 seconds to prove me wrong.

I've only been there once actually (bought there by ex-colleague to persude me going back to that company), they cook the steak in front of you like when you're sitting in front of bartender and ordered cocktail.
None of the ones around here do that.

Five Guys. About the only hamburger places that makes proper hamburger-- 60/40 sirloin / chuck split. Salt. pepper. That's it.
Mmmmmmmmmmm. I absolutely love their grease covered burgers. It's how you know its good.

It's OK, Discurse will helpfully mark them as unread for you so you can read 'em again.

It will also give you a nice notification that your post has been moved, miraculously avoiding pointing you to where it was moved from or to.

And when you click on that notification, it will usually take you to a random place in the thread where those items used to be. Because raisins.

Because Jeff.
I'm amazed that there's not been another Discustomer log this over on fail.d (that I've seen, anyway).

Steak & Shake wins fast food Burger and fries (though with the waiting time they're bordering on fast casual).
Chick fil a wins fast food chicken.

Your opinion, or an actual award?
Because their burgers are OK, and their fries are rubbish.

I've been twice since I moved to Texas. I'm not impressed. The chicken tastes like they sprinkled sugar and salt on it after cooking. I'll take KFC instead any day.

Have you had fast food burgers and fries lately? They kick the shit out of them.
Fast casual joints on the other hand kick the shit out of steak and shake.
As for CFA, we call them Bigotry Chicken. Doesn't mean it ain't good shit.

You should have tried their

We recently went, maybe a month ago. Their fries are too small for my tastes (physical dimensions, not serving size). As for their burgers, I am with @boomzilla when it comes to fast food burgers.
Carl's Jr.Hardee's is the best of the fast food joints.

I have never liked their food. That situation did not improve after they had a brief interlude as a conservative advocacy group. The difference in before and after is that before I would eat there if everyone else wanted to. Now I refuse to give them a penny.
Although I have been known to make the joke, "I don't feel like it today, want to go there on Sunday?"
I could see @ben_lubar liking them though, the restaurant started as "The Dwarf House".

If he compiled it, it would magically grow to be enough to feed the entire world many times over, and possibly turn the Earth in to a black hole from all of the added mass.

Yeah but it'd take a century just to spit out a single mushroom, so the human race would have starved long before completion.
And he'd still have an internet connection from 1993.

You clearly haven't been going to the same KFCs I've been going to, which can best be described as "produce edible food."

Do not exist here.

Popeye's.
Nearly made me shit myself once when driving on the Pennsylvania Turnpike.
Never again.

Assuming it was improperly cooked chicken, could happen anywhere. Especially when [near] minimum wage employees are involved. I once got food poisoning from KFC.
I love me some Popeye's red beans and rice. Their biscuits are really good, too. Different from most.
-

Possibly. I think it was more like an aging digestive tract being asked to process spicy, greasy, fast food chicken when I normally eat food that is better for me.
Also, the Pennsylvania Turnpike has very limited exits and therefore access to restroom facilities. Not to mention too many gory details, but it was a photo finish on the race to the toilet and I imagine I looked a bit like the scene with Jeff Daniels in Dumb and Dumber.

There is nothing better for you than greasy, spicy food!

Yeah, been there (in similar situations, not specifically on the Pennsy TP). Hell, after class last night, I apparently drank too much water (~1.5 liters) and was having issues driving home.

Actually, I haven't been to a KFC in the Dallas area at all, though I did go to one in Austin. The point is it's still better than chick-fil-a, though the spelling-impaired cows are cool.

Not in Dallas.

Thanks for the warning. I'll stick to Church's and Popeye's.

KFC is one of those places that I go to about once every few years and get the greasiest thing they have. When you haven't had it in a while, the butter-like texture of their chicken is amazing.

When I moved to Dallas from Detroit, I made sure to stop at the KFC buffet in Kentucky. It's all you can eat, and in addition to the chicken, they have all of the traditional Southern side items.

Mucho Burrito! I know the "pick topics, put on tortilla, grill it" Mexican places are WAY more common in the States, but MB is one of the only ones we have up here in Canada. Very tasty, generally good quality ingredients. I'll usually get no rice, but extra extra sauteed peppers.
FUCK, I just realized-- this year they didn't have the Ghost Pepper burrito special in October. The hot sauce was good, but the spicy bacon & date marmalade dressing was the best. What the stuffed fuck, Mucho Burrito?!?

Not a single fucking Pizza Hut in DFW has a buffet. It's horrible. When I was working in DC, we had a local PH that my team ate at about every other week.

The last time I ate at Pizza Hut was in 2000. It didn't sit well, I had to pull off the highway in order to have explosive diarrhea. I've been avoiding it since.
Gino's Pizza, however-- oh yeah.

Confession time: I've been known to some of the food substitutes sold at Toxic Hell from time to time. I'm not sure why, I mean even Dickey Mee's is better (sort of), but I think they must be mixing meth in with the dogfood or something.

Count yourself lucky. If Pizza Hut is the best pizza in your area, don't bother eating pizza.

Next time, skip the moose sausage.

Smoked moose sausage is awesome. Wouldn't put it on a pizza though.

Yes, that's why I suggested he skip it on pizza.

I prefer "transgender rights", because it's like getting a burrito surprise.

Sounds better than the local version (Chipotle) -- there's no grilling involved, just folding and serving. I like my burritos grilled.
