fast food

[visibleghost]

what's your opinion on fast food? do you like it? how often do you eat it? what is your favourite or least favourite fast food place?

i personally work at a fast food place and to be honest i'm a little disgusted by it. i mean, i sometimes eat it at work but never outside of work because it just doesn't seem worth it. i have a lot of opinions about everything related to it because of my work but yeah uh... ye.

Some chains are okay, some are not. Wish most could handle the hygiene stuff better though.

I do have it sometimes if I'm hungry after work bc we have two(or three but this one is expensive af so ew lol) of them where I work and need something larger and fatter but I don't do it often as for burger and fries.

As for sushi I love it but yeah it's expensive so I can't have it often.

Unfortunately, I do eat out a lot. It's something that I'm trying to cut back on. I don't necessarily love to eat out, but it is an easier (and sometimes cheaper) alternative. Still, nothing beats a home cooked meal.

I would rather cook my own food mostly, as I fortunately have the time for it currently. The only fast food I get is pizza or ice cream from Domino's, Pizza Hut, etc. Least favorite is probably either McDonald's or Burger King because the service is almost always terrible. Other than the health factor, fast food mostly just tastes like salt and oil to me so I typically will not bother.

yeah hygiene is very important, especially now that everyone is afraid of the corona virus. we don't use gloves when we assemble the burgers, which some people think is gross. i can understand why but we do have strict hand washing routines, we use tools for touching the meat/substitute and everyone who is touching the food doesn't touch a bunch of other stuff while working so in my opinion it's not that bad..?

that's obviously just speaking for the restaurant i work for though. idk about everywhere else

I eat fast food a lot, like almost every day. I don't cook at all and we can't afford eating out at nicer restaurants on a daily basis so fast food and frozen dinners make up the bulk of what we eat. I do get tired of it sometimes, mostly because there's not a lot of variety even when going to different chains.

I do get concerned that there are some gross things going on behind the scenes, because everyone I knew that ever worked in fast food would not eat where they worked. But I try not to dwell on it.

My favorite fast food chain is Wendy's. They've always had better salads than the other places and I like that they have baked potatoes as an option.

My least favorite is Long John Silver's because I don't like seafood or McDonald's because their food makes me sick every time I've tried it as an adult.

I used to love Long John Silver's but then the one in our town got shut down by the health department. So now there's not one for me to go to and I'm also kind of prejudiced against them anyway lol.

A lot of the fast food places where I live kind of suck in terms of keeping the food warm so there's quite a few I won't eat at. I've worked for two different restaurant chains, and the one I worked for last year I won't go near anymore. Bad management meant people just didn't care, and there was one manager who didn't think anything of serving cold fries and nuggets. When we were still serving chicken tenders we'd start them right before we opened for customers, but since they weren't a very popular item sometimes they'd sit out for hours and the aforesaid manager would still serve them.

I do eat fast food though, but at the end of the day I'd prefer a home-cooked meal.

Yeah I dunno where you work but also some burger at random places taste dry and they basically shove all the sauce and crap on it so you can hardly hold it so yeah you wanna make sure they keep it proper. And yeah well as long as you keep it clean with those routines idm.

Some is okay, most disgusting and a waste of money.

I'm a sucker for Subway though. It's the only one I don't feel bad eating from.

I do eat it sometimes but it?s always a little gross. If I have to eat out I try to look for chicken, not beef. I love me some French fries though hehe

Yeah I basically only get vegan or halloumi etc. burgers if I do. Not a fan of processed meat like burgers and stuff.

If anywhere around here did vegan burgers I’d eat that up. I love veggie burgers!

 

[Romaki]

I love it, but we barely have them and they use local meat we can buy as well, so I guess it's a vastly different experience. It tastes good and it's quick and convienent in certain situations. But I'd say we get it once or twice a month.

Most do here as some sort of plant-based alternative and yes they are way better not only in taste I'd say. Hope it comes yo your place soon!

 

[Midoriya]

I eat fast food sometimes, but I’m trying to reduce how much I eat of it. I would say my favorite fast food place is In-N-Out and my least favorite is Burger King.

 

[John Wick]

I don't anymore.
I look cooking anyway.

I eat from fast food places, but not often, and there's certain places I avoid eating from at all costs. Some of the places I avoid eating from come heaven or hell are Cheesecake factory, Checkers, most Taco Bells, Mc Donalds, Burger Kings, Wal-Mart, ect and a few other places that aren't as well known. The two times I ate from Cheesecake factory, I got food poisoning, so never again. And I've seen first hand what goes on behind the counters of most fast food restaurants, and let me just say it's enough to make you reconsider. Even Publix and Whole Foods that claim to be "fresh" often cut corners, but it's cleaner than most other choices (and even then not all the time). I rather eat at home, given the choice, since I at least have a better grasp of what I'm consuming. All this reminds me of is that you can't trust any company, advertisment or label.

I really don't understand why people seem to like french fries so much. They are really basic imo and I have tried them from terrible "random imbiss" ones to really fancy ones and everything in between. They are only served at so many places because they have a ridiculous marigin of profit and somehow people have bought into them it seems... I saw some t-shirts at H&M's once that said "fries before guys" and that just made me cringe so hard. Either some people must really love fries or they really hate "guys" LMAO! Sweet potato fries with parmesan sauce are quite good though.

I used to eat a bit more fast food a few years ago but I eat it quite rarely nowadays. For fast food I mostly go for kebab sandwiches from a chain that sells quality kebabs that actually taste really good. It doesn't even seem particuarly unhealthy to me but idk.

Lots of people say that McDonald's tastes gross but at least in my country I think that it tastes quite fine. I only eat it rarely (I think twice in the last six months and I didn't choose to go there myself) and when I think about it I'm actually a bit grossed out, but I know that when I eat Mc's it usually tastes just fine. I don't get the cheap cheese burgers though but something a little more expensive with higher quality meat.

i honestly like fast food - i know it?s not healthy for you in the slightest but it?s still a yummy treat to have every once in a while. i don?t have it often at all and there?s not really any place that i dislike, but the one place i refuse to eat from is taco bell - the whole aspect of it just sounds gross and i can never bring myself to try it

 

[sleepydreepy]

Im vegetarian, and so I only really eat French fries from fast food places and some other specific items like EggMcMuffins from McDonalds, so I don't feel as disgusted as some people do for eating hamburgers etc. But I admit it still is kinda gross. But honestly idc lol, probably because I dont eat it very often

After thought- does chipotle count as fast food? because I do eat there all the time haha.
