Favorite Fast Food?

[Beth n Rod 1,279]

When you're on the go and need to grab a bite, which is your favorite fast food place to go? You can pick more than one if there is a second you feel strongly about... bon apetit!

There are no better fast food onions rings than Sonic onion rings.

Yes, Bob, they still have that tall bag of onion rings and the smell still hangs in the vehicle for several days after you order them.

If you ever get to Little Rock we will go around the corner to Sonic and have a brown bag special with tator tots and two large orders of onion rings on the side.

After "Slim Fast"ing for lunch, I may have to do Sonic for my "healthy" meal of the day.

On my travels down to Texas, I'll have to stop and take you up on that Chuck!

[Beth n Rod 1,279]

Not that its a favorite, but there are plenty of them around and I know where each and every one is...a 7-11.

Great for relieving the contractors blues and filling up on a quick snack (chili dog !)

Around here we a gas stations called Speedway, you can get two hotdogs for a $1. I am usaully at the shop till 9:00 at night those hotdogs are usaully my dinner.

Down here in South Louisiana, we have a sandwich that is called a Po-Boy. It is basically a sub, that is made with french bread. They are made in so many different varieties, from luncheon meat to fried seafood. We have a couple of local hole in the wall places that are excellent. My personal favorite place is a place called Bear's Po-Boy's. They make a po-boy called a ferdie that has my mouth watering right now as I type this. It has hot roast beef (w/ gravy), cajun smoked ham, swiss cheese etc. When you eat one of these, you better bring a bath towel to wipe the drippings from your hands & arms. My other favorite is a fried soft shell crab po-boy. Ay-yee, that's some good grocerie's, yeah. Another traditional local favorite on Monday's is red beans & rice w/ smoked sausage.

Whew, I'm hungry now. Gonna have to go eat some boiled crawfish right now.

Tony, Have any Big Johns Subs in the Detroit area, when I'm in Flint they are a must stop for a cheese steak!

I don't think so, at least none that I remember seeing. And I do try new sub places, cause that's one of my favorite food groups....:)

We have Speedways here too. They just started a new program called with a Speedy card. Tracks purchases and allots points. After so many points you can redeem for merchandise....including those gawd awful oscar meyer 2-for-a-buck hot dogs. The only way I can choke those down is to load up the dog with every condiment they have.

If I have to eat something there I get one of those round cheeseburger dogs.

Reminds me of a funny story....one of my workers eats those hot dogs all the time. One time I asked him how in the world he could stand eating those things all the time. He replied "They ain't so bad, and they make a turd".

Gack!

There is a very popular local "hole in the wall" here called the Oyster Bar and the Monday special is all you can stuff!! red beans & rice. I guess they picked Monday because it is a Cajun tradition?

Their Tuesday & Thursday special is Shrimp Creole, combine that with an order of fried okra (best in town) and that is one of my favorite choices for lunch. They were just a mile down the street from our former location.

I haven't eaten there since we moved two years ago and may need to make the trip across town soon, I need a fried okra fix. Oh well, time to go get the Slim fast and drink lunch.

Chuck,

Does that okra have flour or cornmeal on it. At home I make my with cornmeal, salt & pepper. This time of year we can't find okra, it makes for a long winter.

[Beth n Rod 1,279]

Of course in the fall when you pick those last green tomatoes before the frost, you have to make a batch of ... you've got it...fried green tomatoes! Yum!

Beth

"Does that okra have flour or cornmeal on it."

Is that a rhetorical question? This is Arkansas, of course the mixture has cornmeal in it.

Bob, when you come through here on your travels to Texas, we will stop around the corner at Sonic and get an order of onion rings to eat on our way to the Oyster Bar for an order of fried okra. You can almost hear your arteries closing down just thinking about it.

This thread started out as favorite fast food and quickly changed to good food.

Bob I love PBJ's. Can't Eatem though they give me bad heart burn.

Chuck all the fried food I eat, your adventure could not do any more damage. Not to mention that I consider CheezWiz a food group.

[Beth n Rod 1,279]

PBJ's, now thats fast food! Runs out fast too.

Anyone ever tried schlotzky's? Sourdough bread sandwiches!

Rod~

[The Rob 14]

We had two Schlotzky's here in town for a few years, then last year I went to eat there, and they were closed. I liked their food, and with the state university amd two other colleges in town, I was very surprised they didn't have enough business. But the sourdough bread was good!

Robert

[Beth n Rod 1,279]

I have seen ads on tv here for them, but when I look them up in the phone book to see where they are, there is no listing. (shucks)

[crispy crittr 14]

Hey Bob,

Went across town to the Oyster Bar today and had the Shrimp Po Boy and a side order of Fried Okra. It was good --> real good.

This thread just kept me thinking about it. That can of Slim Fast will just have to wait until Monday.

Chuck

[Ron Musgraves 240]

I guess its not a secret that wendys is the best.

[Aplus 525]

We had a couple Schlotskis for awhile too, then they just closed up and went away. Too bad, they made a tasty sandwich.

[JFife 14]
