Hey! Long John Silvers is my personal favorite. Gotta love deep fried clams...
That's high on my list! Around here LJS is coupled with A&W so you have a double dip as far is choice is concerned.
And I confess to a real hankerin' for Micky-D's, especially the Fillet-O-Fish.
Also on my short list are DQ, Taco Bell, Wendy's and BK. I also liked Hardees a lot but they disappeared from our area years ago. I wish we had a Sonic. I love what they're showing in the ads and would like to give it a try.
As far as pizza and subs go, I have very picky tastes there. The places I might venture for either fare would not be considered "fast food".
But in fact anymore I try to stay far away from all of these joints. Neither my wallet nor waistline can stand much more! My veins are probably almost solid mayo and cheese at this point! I only head into these places anymore when I have two-fer coupons, and fortunately those are rare.
I'm trying to abide by the South Beach diet, "right" carbs and unsaturated fats. Hard to find either in the places mentioned above. (Subway is gettimg there, but see my above comment re: subs).
Damn - Now I'm really starving for something I shouldn't have...!
PS - As much as I love Taco Bell, I'd hardly call that "Mexican"... TexMex maybe.
I had my first taco - US style - as a teenager at a similar place "Taco Hut" in the Pgh. area. It was 19-cents if memory serves! They made their tortillas on site. Good for the neighborhood. Besides providing quick grub and jobs for us teenagers, our stray dog and cat population diminished considerably. We were never quite sure if it was because they were eating the food (out of the garbage), or they WERE the food. (JK, of course!)
Any Mexican worth his habanero sauce wouldn't be caught dead in a place like that...!
