Seriously, Taco Bell is like swallowing your own vomit. I'm surprised to see anyone likes that... uhm ..... food like subtstance.

Yeah I mean I think it's also a nostalgia thing. When I grew up there was Taco Bell right by my house and as kids we would walk up there all the time since it was close and cheap.

Had I stayed in the Midwest, I would likely feel differently. But being in Texas for 17 of the last 22 years, Taco Bell just seems like such an abomination to me. Same with Chipotle for that matter. And Taco Cabana. Admittedly, people around here still seem to love Taco Cabana. Boggles my mind.

Oh it's garbage for sure. My wife is Mexican so I am very aware of what is good Mexican food...but once every couple years, I suppose Taco Bell reminds me of being young. 

 
I worked at a Taco Bell for 3 months when I was a freshman in college. The things that went on there were disgusting.  Guys would piss or spit honkers into the pot of refried beans and just stir it up.  We stole a 10lb bag of what they called hamburger to grill for a football party.  The meat without all of the crap they put in it was not edible.

I quit because I could not stand what was going on there. It was before social media or I would have busted those guys.

I really can't think of a chain restaurant I'd choose Panera over.  Maybe S'barro?

Possibly Fazollis or Skyline Chili but i've never had either

I've heard of this.  Is this any good?  My coworkers that like it cannot be trusted since I think their opinions on other things are hilariously stupid.

 
Subway is fine :shrug:

I mean their steak and cheese or chicken products are pretty gross, but I have no problem scarfing down a spicy Italian or turkey bacon or seafood and crab.  

 
Rax may have been the most disgusting amalgam of "food" ever concocted in this universe, or any other. 

Had a friend who worked there during our last few HS years.  He once brought home a package of the raw "meat" that they'd shave up to pile on those weird, gaddam misshapen buns.  It looked like the shaved underbelly of one of those Chinese crested dogs that had been left out in the sun after being run over by an Uber full of Peruvians.  And had a nice, viscous, rainbow-y sheen on it from all of the preservative juice it was packed in.  According to him, "this was one of the better looking loaves."  (That's right, "loaves."  Of "meat."  They referred to them as "loaves."  GTFO of here with that noise, unless you're referring to bread, gaddamit!!)

"Gimme a regular Rax."

"Great.  Would you like that with extra carpet pad colored meat, or rainbow preservative sputum?"

*vomit*

New title- 

Worst for me are McDonald's, KFC, taco Bell.

Subway isn't gross, but most of their meat taste the same.  Too many other places to get sandwiches

It's Cincinnati style chili. It's served on spaghetti or on hot dogs. It's good, but the farther away you get from Cincinnati, the more people find it odd.

This is the horror stories I never want to hear. What I don’t know won’t hurt me.

Several times here I have told the story of the quality of Subways ham and turkey "meats".   To summarize a buddy of mine that works in the meat industry was asked by Subway to provide a cheaper quality meat.  He said told him them they already were selling them the lowest quality and that anything with less ham/turkey couldn't be called meat.   

Subway ended up finding another (cheaper) supplier.  

I haven't been to a Subway since.

three piece chicken meal seems a little excessive for one person, no?

Had dinner at a restaurant inside the new Mercedes Benz stadium last night - wife and I were not real hungry so decide to split an entree - decided on the fried chicken plate - came with 5 (cinco) pieces of chicken!!

 Take a look at these meats.

You may like the taste but that is not high quality deli meat. No ham is rectangular.  All it is all chopped up pieces held together with gelatin & bindings then cooked in loaves.   Also "hot ham" is not even close to capicola.  I'm assuming the cheese is not very good quality provolone either.

If you enjoy it that is great just don't think you're eating real Italian deli meats & cheeses.

I haven't been to an Applebees / TGIF style restaurant in ages.  Have they gotten any better?

Add Ruby Tuesdays to the list.   I got all 3 within 5 miles of my house for the last 15 years.  Went 3 times, once to each and never again.   If they suck that bad shortly after opening they will never get better IMO.   I would rather pay 30 more bucks and go somewhere I can actually eat the food.

I like fried chicken fine, but how in the hell are you eating this in a stadium seat?  It's such a messy endeavor with grease and bones and all the napkins needed to stay somewhat clean.  I can't for the life of me imagine trying to eat fried chicken with a stranger nestled in right next to me.

You a Boar's Head fan?

 
Now that we've expanded this from fast food to all restaurants, let me throw out Famous Dave's to the mix.  Tastes like kerosene.  Pickles are good, that's about it.

I think the salad bar is decent, but overall pretty meh.  Don't think I'll willingly eat at one anytime soon

I go back and forth on this place.  I'll deem it acceptable despite being somewhat of a BBQ snob.   Kids actually like it, but can't recall the last time I willingly chose to go there, usually go for some sort of family gathering or something

I thought about this on Saturday as I went to Whole Foods knock-off New Seasons and grabbed some soups to go.  There is really nothing in between the public and a bucket of soup to safeguard you.  Nobody watching over it.  I suppose since it's a fancy, hippie-dippie, over-priced grocery store that management expects its customers to have a higher degree of standards.  But with higher prices, shouldn't they have a soup person doling out the soups?  That's one hell of a trust system they have in place to ensure their customers aren't mis-touching the ladles or sneezing into the soups.  Really appalled by this procedure to get soup to go.

Is that the one with the rotating buffet that was half enclosed in the kitchen so they could refill?  Thought it was cool as a kid. 

But buffets in general are horrible.  So much obesity.

Even non-food items I notice how customers grope and get stuff all over items on the shelf. This is why I always reach back to get the buried (if dusty) item in the back. And nothing makes me more happy than finding an item with extra layers of plastic wrapping to peel off and make cleaner.

Yeah.  I went once as a kid and they ran out of plates so people starting jamming all kinds of food into cups making sort of vile parfaits.   :X
