I used to be able to eat at a McDonalds. Can't stand the place anymore - even my daughter avoids it (although the toys drew her in when she was a tot).
Hardees has a nice chicken biscuit and if I need a quick bite for lunch I think their angus burger is pretty good.
Taco Bell is one item prepared 10 different ways (and none of them very good).
Subway's vary so much it's hard to say.
I think Church's Fried Chicken is only local???, but it's the worst place I've ever tried to have a meal. I think they feed the chicks pure growth hormone. It's stringier than a French beach resort! (but doesn't have the views)

The only fast food I will eat is Chick-Fil-A. Other fast food chains makes me sick to the stomach and unfortunately Chick-Fil-A is not on the west coast of the USA yet. Whenever I visit my brother at SFO he asks me to bring him Chick-Fil-A... even if its cold it is still delicious! And the advertising is great too. ^

I was in my left mind that day 
You hit the nail on the head though!

Back to what's bad, though, what could possibly be worse than an Arby's beeflike sandwich?
(Can you say Carl Buddig?)

Tim Horton's
I might killed for this one, but good Timmies may have cornered the coffee market up here, there lunch's have been pretty awful the last few times I gone there to eat any of their sandwiches. The soups their are just as bad, not to mention most of their meals are over priced (I saw a AD recently for a $6.99 combo "deal" ).

What's with Chic-Fil-A and their personal little Blue Law? Must be owned by some fundamentalist.
McDs is very nasty, but (in Colorado) Goodtimes is pretty good (organic beef).
Why oh why must western state fast food places put mayo on the burgers? Do they do that elsewhere (didn't used to in NY)?

And, personally I think it's nice that a company regards it's employees more than the profits it would have earned opening on Sunday. Who cares what their religious beliefs are?

Back on topic. We don't eat at McD. BK, KFC, C,Jr., etc. I love Chik-fil-A, Baja Fresh, Rubio's, Quizno's.
