    I heard on one of the dumb podcasts about nothing I listen to that burger king is actually decent in the States? And that a&w is bad? Bizzaro world

      Absolutely not, Burger King is in the lowest-tier of the fast food joints, comparable to gas station burgers.

        This is my takeaway as well. Currently, between BK, McD's, and Wendy's, Wendy's is just slightly better. They're all so overpriced though, I'll just go to 5 guys or buy from a local restaurant. If I want cheap fast food, personally, Taco Bell is the best option, that, or Cumberland Farms has really upped their food game locally. Get 2 pizza slices and a drink for $4.

      It's better than McDonald's for sure. The whopper is a mid tier but legitimate hamburger with all the stuff on it, lettuce pickles tomato mayo ketchup, and most of the time it's pretty fresh

      It used to be a lot worse a while back.

      But most states now have a Culvers, so just go there. Every other hamburger joint people rave about is HORSESHIT. In n out, so fucking mid. Shake shack, so fucking mid. Five guys, just drink from a grease trap you animal.

      Culvers is better than 90% of sit-down specialty hamburger restaurants, and better than 100% of fast food restaurants. And they have bomb salads, bomb fish fry, and BOMB ASS frozen custard.

        Accurate but I'll still eat that slop every so often.

      Nationwide fast food is universally trash and is broadly acknowledged as such even by Burgerlander standards. You need to get to regional fast food before you have people vouching for them, and even then, a lot of it is tied to regional pride more than the quality of the food if we're being perfectly honest. But most of them are still a notch better than the nationwide franchises.
