When you compare American fast food to what's available internationally, it comes out quite ahead. I mean, have you ever been to a Jollibee's? When I'm back in the States I always have to hit up Dairy Queen, Sonic, Church's fried chicken. Those are awesome. Freaking steak fingers at DQ served piping hot are to die for. The gravy, the gravy...
All foreign fast food chains are better than in the US, especially if the country has a pretty set in street food culture, and the only market niche they can fill is some performative, mid-range, fast casual offering because they won't compete with the cheap and tasty as fuck stuff that normal working class people eat.
EDIT: I meant "foreign versions of American fast food chains". Imagine, McDonald's in Europe or something like that.

I'm an international and I gotta say this just isn't true. Nobody beats US fast food. Other areas, sure...but fast food? America invented the fast food restaurant.

Street food is gross. They don't have running water nor hot water and get caught using ditch oil all the time.
No way, I'm Australian and my favorite fast food is sushi and Chinese.
American fast food is addictive so you think you want it, until you actually eat it, at which point to wonder why you wanted it in the first place. I always feel like shit after earing McDonalds or KFC, but I never regret buying sushi.
Well, that explains a lot. America has so, so much more than the garbage of McD or KFC, but I guess you'll never know. The glory of Sonic or Dairy Queen or Hardee's cannot be surpassed. You're really missing out. :(
Anyone who likes fried chicken doesn't go to KFC. It's terrible. Church's or Popeyes. KFC is worldwide, but if you find yourself stuck at a train station and out of options, their chicken burger is about as good as you can do. The actual fried chicken is not good and does not hold a candle to real fast food fried chicken.
Well, akshually...

i've heard that foreign KFC is rather better than domestic, don't know about any of the "better" chicken chains
Chinese KFC is way better than stateside KFC.
This is just not true. :( A bunch of menu items aren't there, notably biscuits.

Maybe one day I'll visit and try them and I can decide for myself lol. The food you guys export to us tho is bleh.
I can at least say with confidence that Australian food sucks though, especially our fast food
