I don't typically choose Jimmy John's; I just went there for the pickle sub which, to my knowledge, isn't something you can't get many places else, at least not a chain restaurants. My choice of sub restaurant is Jersey Mike's.

While better than JJ, JM food is way overpriced. Especially compared to Subway, Tubby's, and Penn Station. They can be pricey too at times, depending on what you buy, but you are at least getting your money's worth and they give you a lot.
Where I live, we just got Jersey Mike's. It is good, but overpriced. We already have City Bites here for good sandwiches. It is more expensive than Subway, but less than JM's or JJ's. AND, City Bites has the famous (or infamous) bathrooms. In their original space, one of the stalls in the men's and women's bathrooms each had floor to ceiling 1 way glass on the wall between the stall and the dining area of the restaurant. So basically, you could sit in a stall with the entire restaurant visible to you. You can see everyone in the restaurant, all they see is a mirror.
Yes, I have tried it. And if the question you had was a little more personal... yes, #1 and #2. And without a doubt; yes, it feels as weird as you think it might. They have since moved into a newer space. And the new space would not allow for floor to ceiling glass in the corner with the bathrooms. But they did put a big one way glass mirror right in one of the stalls. It is less strange, but still a pretty weird feeling.

I rarely ever go to 5 guys anymore, but I'll go back again, at some point.
Tried my first Whopper from Burger King. Granted, I asked for none of whatever condiments they put on it (my receipt said "no kethcup, no mayo" and they got that right,) but keep everything else that makes it a Whopper. It was a big burger; that's about all I can say. If ketchup and mayo make it a "real" Whopper experience, then I guess I'll never know what a "real" Whopper is, but for me, the curiosity is sated, and I wasn't impressed.
Meh / 10

BK has like the worst burgers and overall food. I don't understand how places like BK stay open. Same with like Taco Bell or Panda Express, just go to an actual Mexican/Chinese place, it's better and like the same price almost.
I get what you're saying, but I've always been of the impression that anyone that eats at these places aren't sating their taste for the more authentic alternatives. Like, I know personally that I have never wanted "Mexican food" and thought of "Taco Bell;" when I eat Taco Bell it's because I want Taco Bell, you know what I mean? It's fast food because it is a quick and easy alternative to the better, often pricier, and less convenient options. On a whim, I decided I wanted to try a Whopper to see if there was anything worth the fuss; I wasn't in the mood for a gourmet burger from a restaurant expecting the Whopper to meet that expectation.
I get a taste for say burrito or whatever, I'm not going to Taco Bell for that. Just about all the Mexican places around me are super fast; I walk in (don't call ahead), order and my food is ready in 5 mins tops. I do the same with breakfast food, a small little family restaurant walking distance away makes the best big omelettes and I just walk in, order, and the food is ready in at most 5 mins as well (it doesn't take long to make an omelette). Whereas, Taco Bell can easily take longer than 5 mins. Hell, for most of my life, I rather disliked Mexican food because it was associated with Taco Bell mainly but now Mexican food is one of my favorites.
Right, because you don't want Taco Bell. When I get a taste for a proper burrito, I don't go to Taco Bell either, unless I specifically want a Taco Bell burrito, which, while not a good Mexican burrito, does sometimes taste good for Taco Bell food. It's like food snobs who look down their noses at typical American pizza and how unlike authentic Italian pizza it is: who cares? It tastes good for what it is; sorry it "stole" its moniker from a subjectively superior-if-authentic food item.
I’d still take a Whopper over a Big Mac. Five Guys beats them both by a good margin though.
I don’t get how Culver's and Wendy’s are on any best burger list -

I Asked 4 Chefs for the Best Fast Food Burger and 2 Chains Dominated
In search of the best fast food burger, I turned to four professional chefs to see which one they order at the drive-thru. They vote was split with two popular fast food chains earning the top spot. Here are all the winning sandwiches, plus the key things to look for for any good fast food burger.

I just feel like Taco Bell is Mexican food with just subpar ingredients. I always prefer better ingredients. When I used to go to Taco Bell, I'd get the quesorito usually but you can essentially get that at a Mexican place by telling them to add queso cheese to a burrito. Same thing with pizza, I have a taste for pizza at times but never specifically Little Caesar's or Domino's, you go to those places to get cheaper pizza (usually for a group) and not because you or the group actually prefer those pizzas or have a taste for those pizzas. I'd get Aurelio's every time for my pizza fix if money wasn't a factor.
BK and McDonald's are my least favorite burger places. If I had to choose Whopper or Big Mac, I probably would choose the Whopper. But if I had to choose any burger at BK or McDonald's, it would be the quarter pounder at McDonald's.I’d still take a Whopper over a Big Mac. Five Guys beats them both by a good margin though.

Five Guys is the best burger outside of some sit down pubs/restaurants that have great burgers.
Maybe they were only doing fast food burgers and Five Guys is technically not fast food since no drive-thru or something. Wendy's, out of the big 3 (BK/McDonald's), is the best burger. Culvers is a very solid burger and possibly the best fast food burger (depending on the criteria for that), it is much better than Wendy's. I don't have places like In-N-Out around here and I never been to a Shake Shack either (there's a few around Chicago it seems).

The Sumo oranges are back in season, they cost like $2 an orange but they are fucking amazing. Oranges are like low-A/high-B tier fruits, these oranges are easily S-tier. I refer to them as the puffy nipple oranges. They are super juicy and the puffy nipple makes them so easy to peel.
Superfoods indeed -

These Common Superfoods Can Help Undo Microplastic Harm, According to a New Study

Been making this after workouts and it's pretty much the perfect post workout dinner:
High protein, delicious, and super quick to put together when tired with very little cleanup after. The only downside is that I may never financially recover from buying avocados.

It's official: I'm Team Marmite. Finally got around to trying it, and while I now completely understand why it IS an acquired taste, I think it's great. If I had to describe it, it's like a beer and a beef bouillon cube caramelized into a savory putty. To all the videos I've watched of Americans eating a mound of this shit to "try" it: yes, the Brits/Aussies are correct; you did in fact do it wrong. A thin layer on buttered toast allows the properties of Marmite to come through without overpowering your [common] senses. Imagine if someone's only impression of "salt" came from them eating a teaspoon of straight salt; Marmite is the same; context is everything. Don't knock it 'til you try it, would recommend.
Anyway, UK'ers, doesn't this grant me automatic citizenship? Because I'm not sure if you've been watching this shit-show of a country the past few months, but I'm willing to expatriate basically anywhere, and we already speak the same language, so between you, me, Marmite, and Branston Pickle... I mean, let's do this.

Ok, Marmite... that's fine. My taste for beer has been trending towards heavier hops recently so I can see how maybe I wouldn't be as opposed to Marmite as I was when I tried it for the first time. But Branston Pickle, no. That is a taste I could never acquire. And it would be impossible to make a "thin layer" with Branston Pickle... too chunky.
