The quotes are awesome
More than 1,000 times a minute, someone bites into what has been described as a wet envelope of cat food
the tacos’ goodness may be the juxtaposition of the “soggy, nasty middle” and the “rim of crunchiness on the outside” that comes from deep-frying the tortilla with the beef filling already inside.
“Who puts a slice of American cheese in a taco?”
Dawned on me while living in the Arizona. You have to cater to the majority of white people.
Taco Bell, Del Taco, and Jack in the Crack exist where phenomenal Mexican food exists? The majority of white people don't go to these places. They do drive through.
At least that's my theory.

I think they exist for drunks and stoners to have something to eat at 3:30am. Houston has a ton of amazing Mexican places full of gringos (and there's one called Gringo's!).

I think Giff has it here. When I lived in CA the quality Mexican places still had a majority of white clientele. The fast-food places are for the stoners or non-discriminating yokels just looking to stuff their faces as economically as possible.
I will spork-fight anyone who speaks ill of Del Taco, though.

Had a friend in college (in New Mexico) that insisted on getting food from Taco Bell, when there was an actual, Mexican place, with a wide-ranging and palatable menu, across the street. Service was just as fast, and the food was comparatively priced, plus free chips and salsa!

I could go for a Blake's green chile lotaburger with cheese.
These folks have cleverly never lived in Flyover Country. No Blake's. No Culver's. No Freddy's. No Smashburger. No Whataburger. No Raising Cains. Not even Chipotle. (And I'm sure I'm missing lots more.) These fuckers are lame.
I don't think they needed to make distinctions between some items (like a Double-Double vs. a regular cheeseburger from In-N-Out). That would have made more room on the list for worthy additions like Jumbo Jack at Jack In The Box.

gringos is godawful. all the quality mexican around and you eat that?
the calorie counts seem skeptical. a spicy chicken sandwich at CFA is 90 more calories than an animal style burger at In-N-Out that is basically half the calories of a bacon cheeseburger at Five Guys?
(unless the animal style burger is one patty and not two)

Jonathan Tjarks: The Steakburger is the Double-Double without all the hype. It's a great blend of taste and convenience, and it's exactly what you should be looking for when it comes to a fast-food hamburger.

I've eaten there twice and had the same thing both times. It was good enough.
Spent a summer working at Hardee's. NASCAR weekend was the worst. Man, I must have put on so much weight that summer, between that job and it being my first beer-drinking summer.

There's a Hardee's and a Bojangles across the street from Martinsville Speedway. I was wondering just how many biscuits got eaten that day.
I had Bojangles twice when I was in NC/VA two weekends ago. The second time I hit a small-town Bojangles on the way to the track and the biscuits were fresh out of the oven. Had I not ordered to go I probably would have gone back and gotten some more.

I hadn't heard of Bojangles until about 2 months ago. My first thought was the song Mr. Bojangles. Then I Google it and see it's a chicken and biscuit place and I'm like "Well, that's an odd way to honor Sammy Davis Jr."
I guess it's my age or something, but I am surprised somebody associates Mr. Bojangles first with Sammy Davis Jr., rather than with either Jerry Jeff Walker, who wrote it, or the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, who had the hit record with it.

For as much music you know, that seems hard to believe. See if their album WIll The Circle Be Unbroken is on Spotify. It's basically O Brother Where Art Thou? a few decades earlier.

You mean you and your wife have never gone fishin in the dark? Lying on your backs and counting the stars where the cool grass grows? Not even down by the river in the full moon light, you weren't fallin' in love in the middle of the night? Just movin' slow? That's a shame.
I actually always associated it to Sammy Davis Jr which is surprising given my locale and favorite genre of music.
Chik fil A is awesome. Sad when it's a Sunday and find them closed. Props to a company that puts their beliefs above the USD. I realize their approach offends but they back it up and you have to respect that. FWIW, I don't agree with their beliefs, in totality, but respect their position and lack of contradiction.
