I recently saw Supersize, the documentary that harps on the fast food industry, and in particular, McDonalds. Talk about depressing. Not that I have fast food all the time, but I'll throw down once in a while. This culture of instant gratification is tailor made for the fast food industry so it is easy to fall into the fast food trap for the sake of convenience. But let's face it, it's not just convenience. Sometimes, you just have to have a big, fat, juicy burger.
Here's some personal observations:
- Best Fast food burgers
1. Carl's Jr 6 Dollar Burger. I like all of their variations: jalapeno, portabella mushroom, guacamole, etc. If you want to be extra naughty, make it a double. The most over-the-top I've had was a "Double six dollar PASTRAMI burger".It was damn good, but the food coma that follows is not very pleasant.
2. Fat Burger: Double Chili Cheese King Burger. Talk about over the top, but it's damn good.
3. McDonalds: double qarter pounder with cheese and Jack in the Box: Ultimate Burger.

Best Sub fast food place:
1. Togo's: hands down, best pastrami for a big franchice joint.
2. Quizno's: Really good flavor but vastly over-priced. Frankly, it takes the joy out of eating there.
3. Subway sucks...correction, Subway in the Bay Area sucks. It seems like the only people buying Subway franchises are skimpy folks who pass their skimpyness on to the consumer.
The best Subway I ever went to was in L.A., in a strip mall owned mostly by Magic Johnson. That place did not skimp. While there, try Magic Johnson's TGI Fridays. Again, no skimpiness there.
- What is up with McDonalds Filet of Fish costing over 3 dollars? This should be in their dollar menu.
- With all the fast food bashing going around, why don't these fast food joints offer things such as whole wheat buns and decent vegetarian burgers? A turkey burger on whole wheat buns doesn't sound bad...
More to come...
