Title: Yo dudes (and dudettes)
Post by: Mew King on May 19, 2014, 23:21
I think Wendy's might have just won all marketing campaigns ever:

Would have been better if it was called the Rocket Burger

even though I don't like bacon that does look pretty toppers, making me rather peckish actually (although not eating all day probably helps with that too woops)

Have you even SEEN KFC's Double Down.  You can only stomach it when you realize it's a breadless version of a fried chicken sandwich...until you realize that the breadless part is actually because they replaced the bread with more fried chicken.

I'd take two Double Fatty Meats with a side order of Fried Everything

I keep forgetting how gross American fast food is. I mean, Canadian fast food is pretty bad too, don't get me wrong, but at least you can stomach it most of the time.

American fast food..... would Domino's qualify as food? No seriously, at least in my neck of the woods, Domino's pizza or anything is impossible to stomach. Speaking of KFC, last time I ate there I almost got food poisoning..... or was that Burger King? Either way, I still take BK over KFC.

Oh god it's worse then I thought! Seriously, around here Domino's is pretty much the go to pizza place. It's actually pretty good, though I don't really like pizza so I haven't actually had any in a long time, but people who actually like pizza seem to like it. Wendy's recently bought out all the KFCs around here, but when it was here it wasn't bad, at least, you wouldn't get food poisoning from it. BK's pretty decent as well.

It was BK with the food poisoning, I'm guessing it was a botched job. Not sure what it was, maybe it was some kind of bug, likely not. Still, the fact that I still take BK over KFC makes a statement. My parents worked at the KFC, which had and likely still has roaches. Will anyone stand up to them? Nope. They haven't been shut down. If they do go, I will beg city hall to put a popeye's in its place, which imo is infinitely better than KFC.

About Wendy's, it is my one of my favorite fast food chains, their go-wraps are pretty good.

Finally, addressing the pizza situation, we have a small chain called Krauses pizza where my cousin works and my sister's girl scout troup owns this particular shop. We get good discounts. However, we go with Jay's Pizza (which is also borderline godlike) mainly since they deliver and their sausage is crumbled up finer.

Yeah, in NH you can't fuss too much about unsanitary conditions in restaurants. All of the vermin poop probably adds some extra nutrients. Maybe.

This doesn't look too bad, honestly. Wendy's tends to do a half-decent job when they try to make things.

If any of the fast food places had roaches around here there would news coverage and tons of public pressure until they had no choice but to fix it. But, that might also be because not much happens around here, which is surprising for a capital city. Or it might be because we are a tourist destination and popular fast food places infested with roaches are not good for business.

We never really get smaller fast food chains around here, but we have some pretty good local pizza places and restaurants. And of course, there's Canadian Starbucks (http://www.franchisezing.com/franchise/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/Tims2.jpg), the one restaurant you'll find even in the smallest of towns. (to be fair, we have actual Starbucks too, Tim's is just far more popular.)

I have never been to a restaurant without mice no matter how clean it is.

EDIT:  misread...  Roaches, on the other hand...

Two things:

1.) This burger has been around before the obsession.  It was like the first of the three major chains (McDonalds, Burger King, and Wendy's) to have a permanent bacon cheeseburger.  Of course, why they have a Facebook page for it is probably because of the bacon obsession.

2.) You don't know what obsessed is until you find out that the Pennsylvania Bacon Festival got so large and bloated they had to postpone it for nearly a half a year because they needed to find a larger venue to host it in.
