Might have to give it a try when it opens.

I have only had Wingstop once, but I would echo what tiff said.

If you find a sauce or two that you like you'll probably enjoy it.

The only real complaint I had was that one of the 3 sauces we got were MIA.

The other 2 sauces were good though (can't remember now what they were) and the Cajun fries were solid iirc.

And no sooner do we have this chat than Mrs Tif and I got Wingstop yesterday, and now I have food poisoning. Three double-ended visits to the can since 2:30am.

Double ended lol sorry for laughing but never heard that phrase

Does Del Taco exist where you guys are? I think they're regional, but I'm not sure.

Del Taco returned to ATL in the last 5 or so years. I much prefer it to Taco Bell.

It was 10 years ago in Gwinnett on 124 near Lawrenceville. I only had it once and it was better than Taco Bell.

it's been 10 years already? crazy. when we were kids, my brother basically lived on Del Taco. in the late 80s he worked the overnight shift as police officer. if he had court in the morning, he'd stop at Del Taco for burritos on the way home and soak them in Del Scorcho sauce. no idea how he ate that stuff and immediately went to sleep.

Del Taco is much preferred. Like Jersey Mike's and Subway, I have two Taco Bells that I drive past to get to Del Taco.

But......... maybe I should pump the brakes on offering my takes on fast food for a few days, given the events of last 24 hrs.

Walked by the raising canes in Oakland today. Was pretty busy but not insanely busy. I still don’t get why they chose that location

Was expecting a review of the food.

[MrKennethTKangaroo]

I didn’t eat there tonight

But it is good

[nocera]

Yeah that location sucks, especially if you’re trying to pick up takeout.

[MrKennethTKangaroo]

I am going to Orams donuts tomorrow. It won’t be the for time I’ve eaten their deliciousness but it will be the first time I eat it at maximum freshness

[mac5155]

man those are the best donuts (specifically the cinnamon rolls) on the planet.

Is a cinnamon roll a donut?

[RonnieFranchise]

That reminds me I need to go down there since my kid will be home from college. He used to get Birthday Orams instead of a cake.

Pro tip: unless you are there by like 7:30 on Friday or Saturday, order online so you are sure you get what you want.

They are under new management and it seems their cinnamon rolls are a bit smaller but still same quality.

I have to order online for some god damn donuts from beaver **** falls? What is this world we are living in why can’t I just show up at like 9 and stuff my face with this stuff

[Troy Loney]

I think I’ll go on x-mas week.

I think my primary hang up is that I would refuse to do a loop around the block for a parking space. If I can go, knowing I’ll find a legal parking space within a block, it’s manageable. But I would refuse to loop back to Forbes then fifth. I would just keep going down Forbes toward home.

Yeah you don’t want to show up at 9 and figure you’ll get anything but maybe toasted freaking coconut

[Orlando Penguin]

[nocera]

Listen, I like In-N-Out but the 30 minutes drive thru wait last time I went was about 15 minutes too long. It’s not worth all that.

It's 2023 how do companies not use data to figure out what sells and what doesn't

Yeah, I’m not waiting 8 hours for anything. I think I waited about 20 mins last time I was at an In-N-Out.

I mean, it's a one location donut shop. I doubt they are running analytics.

Concur and it's been too long since I've had one. A guy at work used to bring some in occasionally but he quit two years ago. Sadge.

I used to catch hell if I didn't bring them to the plants I worked in, back when we used to have plants around here.

I once took them on a flight to New York for a donut battle, to prove Beaver Falls, PA has better donuts than NYC, which admittedly of all the cuisines it's known for, donuts aren't among them.

It's hard for New Yorkers to admit that "Some podunk little town in Ohio" has better something than New York but I won that round.
