Fast Food...what is your favorite?

I do use Frank’s red hot, but I use to make my own hot sauce. My friend said d go would compare my sauce to Dave’s Gourmet Insanity sauce but more flavorful if that tells you anything. But if you want to try something different see if you can source Dave gourmet Insanity sauce, it’s more of a homely recipe

Regarding those hot sauces.
Do you really taste the meat?
I would say this sauces cover all.

I have some high blood pressure, not serious.
Now taking medicaments its about 120/80 better than before.
But I stopped using extra salt.
There is so much salt in the food.
Eg. Sausage, cheese.

The first time I thought there is something missing.
But now I really taste the flavour of the meat, the vegetables etc.

Just an idea!

Well - my favourite fast food is slow food …

Oh, so their chili is higher in protein than I thought! :joy:

I love this post! Food is one of my favourite topics and it’s always interesting to learn about other peoples eating habits! Just for the record I’d heard of Long John Silver’s before but I thought it was an American clothes shop :joy:

In SE London the majority of fast food shops are run-down fried chicken shops but they’ve been tightening up on hygiene recently. McDonalds, KFC and Burger King aside we have an abundance of Fried chicken, Kebab, Chinese & Indian takeaways, but there are traditional Turkish, Italian, Pie & Mash, Thai etc. restaurants dotted around too.

Personally I’m a sucker for a Morleys (Pic from Google Images)

I used to be a KFC guy but they’ve gone downhill and Morleys is only coming up, the chicken batter is tastier, the wings and portions are bigger (We joke that KFC uses pigeon wings) and it’s much cheaper, although I think brexit will be interfering with that. If you ever hit up a Morleys I recommend the Magnum burger or the grilled peri peri :slight_smile:

Next up is Chinese. It’s nowhere near authentic but it’s what we know as chinese food, although I don’t get it often as it’s usually greasier than the fried chicken.
This is my local (Pic from Google Images)

My hands down favourite restaurant was closed down last year as they were found to be selling blow from behind the bar and traces were found in the kitchen (Which would explain why the food was so addictive :joy:)

Desperados was a Mexican restaurant & bar but I just used to order the steak…£20 would get you this: (One of the very few pictures I’ve ever taken of food, it doesn’t usually last long enough :joy:)



The picture doesn’t do it much justice but it was perfect…Their homemade peppercorn sauce was to die for! I’ve yet to find another good steak restaurant that delivers :slight_smile:

That’s a little taste of my Takeaway preferences, but i’d say chicken shops like Morleys and Chinese Takeaways are what the majority of SE Londoners tend to go for.

Wendy’s looks awesome, a CUP of Chilli con carne? Amazing. I feel like Alan from The Hangover when he found Fanta in a bag :joy:

You can if you want em. Or my favorite is a burger with jalepeno poppers on top (definitely unhealthy). That location Rutters even has a route 30 burger… 1 to 3 burger patties with choice of toppings sandwiched between 2 grilled cheese sandwiches (tried once.and never again, could feel my arteries clogging).

Northeast never has any time to relax and enjoy life so we have our best fast food right at the pumps haha.

This made me hungry and I only just ate :joy:
You reminded me of a Restaurant called Flamin’ Grill, probably the closest the UK will ever get to the Heart Attack Grill…I can’t find the picture I took but they had these £15 deals, either a giant rack of ribs, a 16oz Steak or my choice, A burger named something so impressive I forgot what it was called…

It was 2 1/2lb angus beef patties topped with a 1/2lb chicken breast steak, cheese sauce, cheese, streaked bacon, Chilli con carne, more cheese and finally the bun. All the meals were accompanied with a stack of chilli/cheesy/normal fries (fat fries not the toothpicks you get in Mcdonalds) and a bunch of onion rings.

I’m a skinny guy, but I cleared my plate along with 2 pints of coke, I remember thinking I was never going to need to eat another meal again. I wondered why they put chilli con carne IN the burger (Never heard of such a thing) but I think it’s just there to help you…PROCESS…all the meat.

I need to get back there one day but everyone I know is useless at making arrangements, and that includes me :joy:

I didn’t get to 5 guys until I moved out west. I love it though - the concept is great and the food is excellent.

@Jordi_Mor I don’t eat fast food every day (in fact I rarely eat it - lunch today was a bunch of raw spinach, an avocado, red and orange peppers, carrots, and mushrooms) but man I love it when I can justify it.

Also, I think “fast food” can be widely interpreted around the world ( and even in the states). For example, I had sushi on Monday that was pretty fast, and we have new ramen and pho places in town that I think qulify as “fast” without being so unhealthy. :sushi: :ramen: :pear:

OMG that looks AMAZING!!! I can’t believe it last long enough to take a picture. I was a butcher in a past life and that steak is PERFECT. Is it asada?

It took a great deal of self-control, and I probably had a mouthful of chips at the time :joy:
I miss this place so much, I wish I could find out where the chefs moved on to :confused:

It was consistently perfect every time I ordered, that’s why it was my favourite restaurant!
This was flame grilled rump steak but sometimes i’d order the T-bone, which was huge.

Chipotle, Chick Fil A, Taco Bell Or Any Sandwich joint (Subway, Quiznos, Potbelly).

I wish I had an In-N-Out in Chicago. I wish I had a sonic close to me.

My favorite fast food are buche tacos and al pastor burritos but recently i tried something new call fritanga really did not know what i was about to eat until i googled it and it was a mix of 3 meats which was carnitas belly and snout which was really good now trying to find that type of tacos around my area is super hard to find since we we’re at city we normally don’t go to very office

Living in Michigan, I rarely get the chance to get my favorite: In N Out. Whenever someone needs to travel to Dallas for work, I make sure I am the one who offers because I know as soon as I get off the plane, I can get my a double double animal style with some burnt onions. Recently I visited a friend in Phoenix, and as soon as I landed I let him know. He offered to take me out to lunch after I got my rental car and I had to decline as In N Out had just opened 10 minutes prior. I guess it was a little bit of karma because the last time he visited I offered to get him and head out to lunch and he shot me down so he could go get Coney Island and Jets Pizza.

Pizza is always a nice choice.

Once, when in Ottawa for the tulips festival, I ate a hot dog from a street cart that was inexplicably good. Like, gourmet-good. Nothing would indicate it. The cart was the run-of-the-mill chrome cart simply saying “All-boeuf hot dog”, and besides the “all-boeuf”, the only thing worth mentioning is that it was a long and large hot dog, and absolutely delicious. When I went back for the same festival, at the same place, I couldn’t find the same cart or the same hot dog. It’s like a “hot dog chef” made a one-day-only presentation that year…
