65. Mmmmmmm..... Bojangles..... mmmmmmm
There isn't any in Indiana, but whenever we travel east or south we always try to find one!

If we come into a bunch of money we're building one in Indy. :D

73. There's none this far north, either... it's a "home" thing...
I'd build one here as well, if someone would drop a Powerball jackpot in my lap...

3. Burger King
The Whopper is the best big sandwich.

Off the list I'd pick Subway, the only fast food place that makes me feel healthier. I load a full sub turkey with all the veggies other than the hot pepper crap.

8. Or in Texas.
There is a Culver's about 5 minutes from my house. The crinkle cut fries rock!

I am also an In N Out fan, when I visit CA.

15. Culvers is great
Of course mention McDonalds around any Christian Conservative and watch their reaction. ;) The AFA has a big boycott going right now. Fun to get rises even though I avoid McDonalds after reading Fast Food Nation.

56. Culver's is my favorite
I usually avoid McDonalds because the food sucks. However, if it will piss off the fundies if I eat there, I will have to stop by once in awhile for a sweet tea.

Can't explain my preference, either. It was an addiction for a while, but I broke it by going cold turkey. I still go there occasionally, though.

12. Braum's , Krystal, Popeye's
would be mine.

when the longing for fried chicken becomes more than I can handle, I get me to Popeye's and satisfy two cravings at once: the fried chicken one and the permanent genetically implanted spicy food one

32. Taco Bell, because it's the only one with some sort of vegetarian options.
When I'm on the road. Burger King has a veggie burger, but I can't stand it, sadly.

I could say Subway, but Subway is inconsistent. They have a veggie sandwhich, but it's just lettuce and a few slivers of veggies.

60. Yum!
I'll second (or third) the Chipotle. They also use local/organic ingredients whenever possible, and offer vegetarian alternatives. One of my son's friends works there, and they treat their employees a lot better than most fast-food joints.

We also have three locally owned fast food joints that offer really good food: El Indio and Burrito Brothers (Mexican) and Steamers (Indonesian).

But every once in a while I still get that overwhelming craving for Krystal's chili cheese fries.

67. Carl's Jr. and In-N-Out are probably the best quality-wise (at least near me),
but I usually end up eating McDonald's, Burger King, and Taco Bell more often because there are more of them around. Oh, and I can't forget the 3 A.M. Jack in the Box runs... :9
