Germany. Never met an Imbiss I didn't like. Always enjoyed the little joint under the Mannheim Bahnhof.
Nordsee is not bad.
Nordsee is pretty good for "fast food" seafood. That being said, the best fast food in Germany is the venerable döner kebab, followed closely by a wurst im brÖtchen (or if you are in Bavaria, leberkäse im brötchen).

An other vote for Italy.

Everywhere you stop by, even if it's only a street pizza or a sandwich, the ingredients are usually better than those used in many fancy italian restaurants around the world...

A focaccia with stracchino cheese, a simple cured ham bite sized sandwich, a mini bruschetta with basil and tomato, a fried mozzarella in carrozza, or an "arancino di riso"... Mmm....

And another vote for Italy. I just wish we could replicate the experience here in the US.

You should come back then and sample it again :D

Agreed, there is no "one" item that really stands out. Each country/region has its street food/food vendors/hawker centers/fast food joints... But I can say that I lean more towards the Far East region for "fast food"; so much more variety...
I'd like to be in Beirut again; even if there's not much fast food (I should say street food), what is present (kebabs, manakish, falafel) is worth going back to. Throw in any baklava for good measure.

With food trucks becoming all the rage in addition to the street corner hot dog carts (especially in New York) and also some really good regional fast food chains (In N' Out Burger, El Pollo Loco etc.) in addition to our numerous other places (McDonalds, Burger King etc.) I'm giving the nod to the US of A!

South-East Asia for me. I've had amazing fast food in Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, and the Philippines. And in southern China. Inexpensive, delicious, and healthy.

I've also had some very good stuff in Sub-Saharan Africa. Some sadza with gravy I've had in Zimbabwe was divine.

Cheers,
T.

Notable items consumed on my visit to Vienna were rhubarb juice and pfefferwurst. It's not a fast food but I actually did like the Sacher torte...

One of my favorite parts about Vienna was the Anker Bakeries. There were numerous ones over the city and I would always start my day with a Diet Coke and a pastry. I never had the guts to go here though:

For some reason that picture reminds me of those flat pork tenderloin sandwiches I used to get growing up in our main street diner, the ones that are beaten to less than a quarter inch thick and practially a foot round, sticking way out of a hamburger bun. Now I'm hungry...
