Could we please stick to fast food burgers and fries and leave Chick-fil-A and other non burger places, ....
I went and had to check Chik-fil-a's website after these posts, thinking they made burgers too, which was news to me. But all I found was chicken sandwiches (which for deep fried, still seem to be fairly low calorie ~ 500?).
Anyhow, back to burgers.
I don't do fast food often, and when I do, it's more likely to be one of the Mom & Pop places, or a local mini-chain, and as likely to be a Chicago-style hot dog, or a Gyro as it is a hamburger.
I have only visited ~ half those places on the OP list in the past 50 years, so maybe in another 50 years, I can rate the rest, and report back
But heck, a Whopper or a Big Mac "hits the spot" once in a while. They are what they are. Wendys, McD, Culvers, Steak & Shake, I guess they are all good for what they are. Not sure I really have a favorite among them, they are all similar, but all a little different. I wouldn't even say better/worse, just different.
But now I am craving a Wendy's - there was one close to where I worked at one time, so would stop in occasionally, probably haven't has one in 25 years.
