Fast Food Thread

I’m more of a California Tortilla guy.

Baja Fresh?

[MrKennethTKangaroo]

Ate at the one at Penn state probably 2x a week with that deal. It was on the corner of Atherton and College. I think it's a high rise now.

That Arbys has been gone for at least a decade. Pretty sure a car drove into it at one point and they just shut it down and moved on. It is currently a high rise for student apartments now.

My ex father in law, and his father in law, owned that place. A drunken foreign student rammed into the business and had shitty insurance and it was not worth it to rebuild. He's didn't own the land so a real estate developer moved in.

Chipotle stinks and so does piada I learned

[DigitalGypsy66]

My one meal at Qdoba got me so, so sick. The sickest from a restaurant I've ever been.

This was 20 years ago, just about. I still refer to the chain as Q'shita. Man, was I ill.

[mac5155]

Other than Qdoba I've never had any of these places mentioned, so maybe there are better options aht there

Went to Popeye's today and a 3 piece chicken with fries and a drink was almost $10.

That's up from $7.50 six months ago.

But employees are making more…

Never heard of Piada...

Never heard of Piada...

Imagine if Olive Garden made your food with less care while you watched.

Better way to describe it is "Chipotle, but Italian"

[mikey]

So poisonous and run by the bottom 10% of my high school class...got it.

[MR25]

... without the E Coli (as far as I am aware)

[faftorial]

But employees are making more…

Minimum wage here in PA is still $7.25/hour. If higher wages are given it's market forces dictating that.

Fedex is hiring package handlers at $18 an hour

Fedex is hiring package handlers at $18 an hour

Must... resist...

[Dickie Dunn]

I don’t think I’ve seen a single “Hiring” sign in the cranberry area that doesn’t start at at least $15/hr.

Hoping the line at the Whataburger is less than a mile long today so I can grab some for lunch.
And I mean a full mile https://www.kshb.com/news/local-news/tr ... hataburger

[NTP66]

My BIL lives in Lee's Summit and wants to do the same. Whataburger is not worth that kind of wait, IMO.

[CBear3]

I'm headed to OKC this weekend, so I don't really need to; but there's a couple former Texans in the engineering department and it's a great group activity for the boss being out this whole week.

[NTP66]

Oh, during the work day? 100% worth it.

[NTP66]

Any chance you're also passing both Joe's KC and Jack Stack...?

[CBear3]

Jack Stack, but that's a bit too pinky up. I know you're a fan of The Filling Station which is our normal BBQ go to.
I did mail some Jack Stack to the west coast as a thank you this week though.

[NTP66]

This actually just reminded me that I have a pound of Jack Stack brisket in my freezer. Score!
