What are some restaurant franchises that you treat as a luxury when ever you go out of town. Name your restaurant and whatever you order. No shaming. Arby's 2 Buffalo Sliders, 2 Pizza Sliders, 2 Beef N' Cheddars, Medium Game Fuel

You'll never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. This is a place that changed my opinion of humanity. It's more like going to the zoo than a restaurant. This place is truly the home of "throw your food on the floor and eat it like an animal". It is the sublime web that ties us all together. 5 stars, would recommend.

Taco Bell. I only go there when I'm on the road, only once per trip, and I chow down. My #1 rule in life is Never Eat Limited Time Only Fast Food and Taco Bell is where I break that rule. I get 2 Chalupas, a Chicken Quesadilla, 2 Spicy Potato Tacos, and a couple of the newest innovation, whatever that may be.

The Arby's in and around Richmond, Virginia aren't operated like the rest of the world's Arby's. The franchises are owned by someone who decided to give a gently caress about the food. The beef is grass fed, and everything is made from scratch at the restaurants. If you are ever in the area be sure to check it out. It will destroy your interest in beef n' cheddars from a regular Arby's. Menu: http://arbysrva.com/shop/

Five star pizza in gainesville, fl. I get the extra cheese+pepperoni+banana peppers and an order of pepperoni rolls that come in a pool of grease and live off that for a couple days. also not a restaurant but publix spicy fried chicken wings.

Crack Shack in San Diego when we're there visiting my fiancee's family. Good poo poo. Though I suppose it isn't a franchise, just a small chain.

KFC - I know all the chicken is the same, just cut differently, but that doesn't stop me from having a 3pc + popcorn chicken + tenders. I like the "texture" of the different chicken I guess. Also wedges+gravy, gently caress the mash "potatoes". Dipping your wedges and tenders into gravy is the bomb. When im on the mainland - Qudoba's queso nachos. Jesus I would kill a dozen men for a plate of those right now. Slayerjerman has a new favorite as of 01:32 on Dec 8, 2017 |

I typically do like five god damned minutes of finding out where the locals like to eat, especially if I won't be back that way. That said, if I'm in an untested place and I'm feeling a little blue? I find a Red Lobster. It's not good, it's not healthy, and it's not even value for money, but it reminds me of my dead relatives, and sometimes that's what you need before slipping in between crisp sheets previously occupied by dead strangers.

I'll hit up Jack in the Box every chance I can get. Mixing their buttermilk ranch and taco sauce makes an excellent fry-dipping sauce.

The closest Dennys to me is like a 30-40 minute drive so going there feels like a special luxury. I like getting the All-American Slam but I ask them to put the cheese on the hashbrowns instead of the eggs. so good

British Beer Company. They make this burger that would be rather pedestrian, except for the dijon mustard and perfectly cooked bacon. Goddamn now I want a loving burger.

Long John Silver's. There used to be one on every corner in my neck of the woods. They are now few and far between and seeing one I didn't know existed is like hitting the lottery. I get whatever deal has the fish and chicken. I can't tell the difference in them, so I might as well get both. Fries are even decent. The rest of the sides are horrible and includes a brick of corn on the cob.

More like you gotta go to five BARS before you can eat the pizza. Pizza Hut? More like pizza SHUT. The box. Because the pizza's disgusting.

RC and Moon Pie posted:Long John Silver's. I went thru the drive thru at LJS once because I'd never had it and I'm pretty sure half the staff had died or something because it was at least a 40 minute wait while barely moving and I couldn't escape because of the concrete barrier corralling the cars in. The girl who was at the register looked like she was terrified out of her mind and could barely talk and the food was the absolute worst fast food I've ever had by the time I got home with it. It was probably the worst food experience I have ever had that I can remember 10/10 would go back for the horror show

We don't have one where I live (Thunder Bay, ON) but the places I go to on trips for concerts and visiting friends (Toronto and Minneapolis) both have them and I seem to always have a really nice meal. I know in my mind it's not true high-end seafood, but I don't give a gently caress. Last time I went to the one in Minny I had a lobster tail, rice and asparagus with clam strips as a starter I split with friends, and it was really good. My friends had never been to one, and they were really impressed. El Gallinero Gros has a new favorite as of 20:30 on Dec 10, 2017 |

There's this local chain of 24hr fast food/fast casual hybrid Tex Mex joints in the area. They're all owned by a Hispanic family and make the most kick rear end breakfast burritos. $5 bucks gets you a massive gut bomb. Perfect for ending a week of 4x 12hr graveyard shifts.

Culver's since I moved to Virginia a decade ago and there aren't any here. But the quality gets worse the farther you get from Wisconsin, where they are based out of. Single deluxe butter burger with American cheese Diet root beer Small turtle sundae

Oh man, my friends introduced me to Culver's on roadtrips to Minneapolis and it's the bomb. I don't care for their fries but they're not terrible, just never been a crinkle cut man. Their sundaes are amazing and so are their milkshakes. Also, deep fried curds~!

Before they built a Carl's Jr. in my city I would make it a big deal to stop at the one in the Puerto Vallarta airport when departing.

CookOut has a $5 combo with a double cheeseburger, fries, fried, okra, and root beer float. I don't usually eat fast food but whenever I get south enough in Virginia I admit to myself that I could never resist that meal.

One of my coworkers said, "man on a first date I ain't taking her out to an expensive restaurant; McDonald's has the McPic 2 so that's what she's getting." I agreed and said I'd take a first date to Wendys cause they have the 99 cent menu and the crispy chicken sandwich is soooo good (I forgot to say this to them but I am informing you: when you're ordering, you have to tell them no mayo because the mayo is disgusting. And, while if you really want to splurge your date with a combo meal say no mayo as well. Wendys mayo is disgusting. ) This conversation started when one guy said he always takes his first dates to super fancy restaurants. Then again, I just realized all my first dates involved them coming to my or their house and having sex. Maybe some food later, maybe not.

Every like once a year I will get a burger from Sonic and I'm not sure why. The other fast food places at least have a taste that is distinguishable from the rest but Sonic burgers seem to have basically no taste at all. In fact most of their food is weirdly tasteless
