Burger King is nothing but filth and putrescence.
Give me Checker's/Rally's any day of the week.

OT: Probably Burger King. Or KFC, if chicken burgers're allowed
Coyote Bluff Cafe in Amarillo, Texas has the best burgers I have ever had. It's a tiny little place that can barely hold sixty people, and most days the line is all the way out in the parking lot.
Well, I'm rapidly getting to the point where I'm less than impressed by most American fast food joints. Right now there is so much health obsession right now that the food is increasingly starting to taste like cardboard. After movies like "Super Size Me" and stuff like that the fast food industry did indeed change and not for the better, though it started before that to be honest.
Speaking for myself, I don't expect to live a full, and happy lifespan, and honestly if I get to the age for it to matter anyway my brain is liable to fall apart anyway so I don't see why I want to tack on a few extra years of rambling vegetative misery. I mean it would be nice if I DID and didn't wind up like that, but really I've come to grips long ago with what's likely to happen to me.
When it comes to people in general, I also don't think fast food has as much to do with the "obesity epidemic" which people act like is US-centric when in reality it infests most of the first world. The cause being technology, and increasingly sedimentary lifestyles, combined with depression due to people growing up being told "you are special" and then being dumped into a general rut for the rest of their lifespan. I can say from first hand experience that a lot of medications for stress, anxiety, and depression can make you pack
on the pounds. Sure, we're unhealthy, but that's simply one of the growing pains of our society and I suspect we'll find a way to cope. I suspect that genetic engineering and such is going to be one way of helping people stay in shape despite lifestyles that will if nothing else grow increasingly less active.
Err, well the point of this rant basically comes down to the fact that when they stopped making french fries with beef tallow it was a gradual downward spiral in the taste department. I can appreciate a double stack from Wendy's dollar menu, or the occasional Mcnugget, but fast food has sort of ceased to be a pleasant "OMG, I have a craving for some Mcdonalds fries" thing for years. None of the "new" chains have impressed me.
I think the last hold out was probably Arby's and when they took the potato cakes off the menu I ceased to care as that was my last real fast food craving.
