Good evening, gentle listener, and welcome to Distractable, a Wood Elf production. This week, it's a battle of the burgers as fast food chains go on trial. Is Denny's uninspiring? Is Wendy's the pinnacle? IHOP takes a kicking, five guys are a danger to some, and Mark witnesses a Popeye's punch-up and his order being hate-made. Yes, it's time for the fast food tier list. Now sit back and prepare to be distracted, and enjoy the show.

It's actually an online. You'll see. You'll all see. You've been a spy the whole time oh well that sounds very interesting but we're not going to talk about that or think about that anymore today because today we've got a fun one for all of you non-visual people if you're visual good luck keeping up but if you're not this one's for you out there because today we're going to be making a tier list which has never been done in the history of content creation yeah i think that's accurate i guess probably i don't recall seeing anyone else do anything like this before i've never seen it especially of what we are doing a tier list of i'm going to be presenting you all with a restaurant

a fast food restaurant we're going to place on a tier list after you guys debate it relatively quickly we're going to try to go through this fast because but we do have limited time and i want to get through as many of these as possible but knowing us we'll get through at least five you keep saying that i think that actually this is going to go fairly quick but i don't know maybe i'm wrong everyone always thinks that have you ever watched a tier list video i haven't because they don't exist but if i were to have they would go longer than you'd expect i have no this intro is the most rambling sidetracked i don't think there's been a clear this is my host don't you dare complain minus two points okay all right fair how about one more i'll take away a win

next time oh i don't think i have any more wins to take away i think i'm in the negatives after didn't you host last week or the week before or something no you literally hosted the last episode yes it means you had to have won after i last took away your wins i don't know you've got at least one wins i don't think that's true all right well buckle up because here we go on this tier list we have s ranking a ranking b, B, C, D, F, and then we have a never had. Because, you know, just sometimes we've never had one of these. So you guys can give your initial thoughts, then debate it out, and we'll see where it ends up. And we can always move things around after the fact once we compare some other things.

So let's start off with... Oh man, hmm... Where do we want to start? Let's start with a place that I know we've spent a lot of time at whenever we've traveled uh and done like uh conventions and such let's start with denny's denny's we've spent a lot of time at denny's i feel like i've been to denny's a decent amount with you guys or at least with mark i can recall going to denny's twice at pack south a couple times and that's most and once near lax when mark picked us up from the airport see more and more Denny's are coming to mind. So let's rate it. Okay.

Initial thoughts. Where would you rate it? Just without thinking too much about it, your initial gut reaction. Denny's, where does it go? Who go first? Who go first? You, since you asked.

All right. Denny's, the thing about Denny's is it's always the same quality of food. It's just that the quality of the food is not that good. But they're consistent. I feel like versus IHOP, IHOP can be great sometimes, can be really terrible other times. But every time I've gone to a Denny's, it's the exact same food, the exact same way. Okay.

For its reliability, I would probably put it in C-ish. But honestly, I find myself, it's one of those things where you find yourself at a Denny's. You're just like, hey, there's a Denny's there and we're all hungry. This is a weird coincidence. Let's go to this Denny's.

And then you walk in and then, you know, get there. Maybe B, maybe B, maybe B. Okay, B to C. Bob? I basically agree. I don't like Denny's, but I don't dislike Denny's. It's always been very consistent for me. I was thinking C right off the bat. Okay. It's also not fair, I guess, because Denny's doesn't strike me as fast food in the same way that a lot of drive-thru-y kind

of places. Yeah, it's more of a sit-down type place. So it's a little nicer because you get like you sit down. It's kind of like a restaurant. It is a restaurant. But yeah, I would say C. I like C. It has always been fast service. I would say C. It's a great average restaurant that if C is the average of this tier list, Denny's is right there comfortably. Okay. I'll put it at a high C.

So other C's may go below it unless you guys argue differently. But a high C. Because you guys have like B minus to C right now. It sounds like. Works for me. Cool. That was easy. That was an easy, fun first one. All right. Well, IHOP was mentioned. So let's rate minus to C right now. It sounds like. Works for me. Cool. That was easy. That was an easy, fun first one.

All right. Well, IHOP was mentioned. So let's read IHOP right after. If you had asked me a decade ago when I lived, where was I a decade ago? In college, I guess. IHOP wasn't close, but it was good. We live near a good IHOP in Cincinnati. If you ask me now, I have had so many bad IHOP experiences. The one we live near, not good. We live near a good IHOP in Cincinnati. If you ask me now, I have had so many bad IHOP

experiences. The one we live near, not good. Been to a couple in different locations, terrible. One had terrible service. One had disgusting food. I would say D or even F. Wow. Okay. Oh, that's crazy. Bad for me right now. IHOP is not my favorite. It deserves better than that. Even at its lowest points, it wasn't that terrible. Admittedly, sometimes the service is so horrendously bad, I feel like the waiters and people working there are actively trying to make my day worse. And also the people there

who go to IHOP, traditionally not the great, but you got to give the memory something, right? Denny's can't be a C and then IHOP an F. That's just not fair. All right. Well, but IHOP is definitely worse than Denny's. It's less consistent. Good IHOP, I would say, is better than Denny's. Yeah. But I've had more bad IHOP in my life than good. So I would say it has to be, for me, it has to be worse. Yeah. I would say D is fair. It's weird. The IHOP experiences that I've had at 2 a.m versus in the morning when you actually are trying to get breakfast food better at 2 a.m yeah so it's it's weird like the night shift there the staff is real friendly the food is really good uh something about it i don't know why but i would

say d i would i would accept a d okay it's crazy to me because i agree with you all i mean my opinion doesn't really matter if I affect the tier list, but I agree with you guys that Denny's is very consistent. I don't think I've ever gone to a Denny's and been like, man, this is so much better than usual or worse than, like, it's Denny's. IHOP, I've had like an omelet from IHOP and like they had the splashberry drink

and their bacon and stuff. I've had an A tier where it's like, oh my God, I could eat this every day. And I've also had F tier quality food. It really depends on the staff, the cleanliness. Like, yeah, the individual restaurants and who's working really makes a huge difference to IHOP, which is crazy. So we have a high D right now or a D for IHOP, C for Denny's. And I can't argue that because the inconsistency really makes it makes it disappointing. Yeah. Yeah. But but IHOP is also there for you. I know Denny's

is there for you, but on the same way. Imagine you were in a situation where you're really thinking about life, and it's way past midnight, and you're really just contemplating existence, purpose. You know what's there for you as a light in the darkness? Waffle House. Well, okay. Well, that's a completely different discussion. People have this weird nostalgia for Waffle House that I do not understand. But IHOP was my that.

I loved IHOP. It's weird that as I've gotten older, the grease from IHOP, I don't feel very good after I eat it, but I do still enjoy it. I feel terrible after IHOP these days. It's very greasy. Food is probably DF. But the experience,

the comfort, it does feel weirdly comfortable in there. More than a Denny's. Well, as we keep adding, we can keep adjusting things. But as of right now, Denny's C, IHOP D, and you guys are making this easy because you just keep mentioning restaurants. So we'll stay with this chain. Where does Waffle House belong?

F. S? Yeah. No. Waffle House is unquestionably F. You are out of your mind. I said F. Oh, I thought you said S.

As in frick it. You agree with me? You are out of your mind. I am inside my mind. You're in your mind. Waffle House is 100% F. That is possibly the most, if you're looking to have a meal in a place where you're the most likely to also see a fist fight, Waffle House is a great option for you.

If you're looking to have a meal that is in the name of the restaurant, but somehow surprisingly bad, Waffle House is the place for you. Yeah. Not great waffles. But if you need some greasy food, this is a thing for me, I guess. Waffle House is the place, like you're talking me, I guess. Waffle House is the place, like you're talking about IHOP. Waffle House is the place where it's like, it's the middle of the night. It's a mopey night. I'm thinking about life, whatever. Go to Waffle House, you get some

gross food. You hope that nothing crazy, too crazy happens. It's not a good nostalgia, but it is like a nostalgic thing for me. No, there's a specific mood you need to be in to go to a Waffle House at that hour. It's like your life takes two paths. One is towards an IHOP, one is towards a Waffle House. It's how you want to feel at the end of that experience is dependent on where you go. Waffle House for the I want to spiral downward. IHOP for the I want to sustain just a little bit longer. Your life is headed towards a D or an F. It's really funny because for me, I have the Mark IHOP experience with Waffle House because growing up, I have a lot of nostalgic memories of stopping

at a Waffle House on my way to like my grandparents cabin down in Kentucky. And like, there's just a whole lot of like good memories of like, yeah, we're actually stopping for Waffle House. Yes, it's the best day ever. And I have that nostalgic feeling. However, I have eaten at one within the last like three or four years. And I would agree that it wasn't the best at that point. But like my nostalgia wants me to put it like at a C, but I can't, I mean, you guys get to decide this, but for me, I couldn't do F. Couldn't do it. When I ordered hash browns, I remember my first time hash browns with cheese. I'm like, oh, that sounds great. Hash browns with cheese. And I got my plate and hash browns is just one slice of unmelted American cheese slap on top of it. And I just go, wait a minute.

Wait a minute. It would have taken. That's with cheese. What are you even complaining about? I literally think we had the same experience three years ago. I think Molly got that. And it was just a slice of American cheese. And the problem is like it looks crispy on top, but

as soon as you get through that hard cracked layer, it's just mush potatoes. It's basically mashed potatoes underneath there. Like, I don't know how you manage this. It's so sad, but I can't argue with it. There's an uneven distribution of heat. This is really incredible what you've done.

Poor Waffle House. You deserve better. Sorry, Waffle House. No, they don't. They deserve exactly what they are. They've positioned themselves to be this. They do from my nostalgia. That is what they are. They're cheap, barely food food, and there for you anytime.

It's your fallback. It's the base layer. It's the parachute, you know, so you don't die. But that's it. All right. Mark, I'm going to give you a point for making sense, even though I don't like it. You're at negative one right now. Thank you.

Wow. Savage. Okay. Let's jump into some of the more, like, accepted fast food type restaurants. Because these are, like you guys said, these are more sit-downs. So let's do Wendy's. Let's jump in right into Wendy's. Ooh.

I. Who wants to go first? You want to go, Bob? I feel like we're both in the same place on this. Yeah. Go for it, then. Bob wants to go first? You want to go, Bob? I feel like we're both in the same place on this. Yeah. Go for it then. Bob, you go first. If we're talking in the context of fast food, not obviously in the context of restaurants

or food in general. Yeah. Fast food specifically, Wendy's is right on the precipice of S for me. Yeah. That's exactly the same thing. I was debating. Like, is it quite S? Ooh. Yeah, that's exactly the same thing. I was debating like, is it quite S?

I don't know if I can say that it's S because there's other stuff I can think of where I'm like, well, that's better than Wendy's. But Wendy's, if you're getting a drive-thru burger, love it. Love it. There's one part about Wendy's that would keep it out of S in my brain, and that's the fries.

I just don't like their fries nearly as much as a lot of other fast food fries. I feel like, yeah. Everything else about it, S. Have you had the new fries? The new natural fries? The new crispy fries? I'll have to try it again and see.

But like every time they've changed their fries, I'm like, well, these are better. But like, I would still rather have like McDonald's fries or something, you know? Oh, no question. Like McDonald's fries are better. But it's like Wendy's fries are not bad. No, they don't taste bad. They're just not. I don't I don't crave their fries.

In my experience, I would rather have curly fries any day. Oh, dude. Curly fries. For me, curly fries, Wendy's and McDonald's, they don't even have that. So it's a different category. Like my preferred fries is Jack in the Box curly fries. I love Rally's or Checkers fries. Those are my favorite fries.

Oh, my God. I miss that so much. It's like a straight curly fry, but even better. They have the best fries. It's like's like a straight curly fry but even better they have the best it's like a girthy straight curly fry but there are days where it's like i want the fries from those places so bad that i will go there and it's like i'll deal with whatever else i get chicken or burger whatever but i want the fries yeah nothing at rallies is good except that like oh their fries fucking love their fries wendy's it's always like i mean i'll get the fries you know they're okay but for me s tier would be like the best of all and wendy's fries

is just a notch below the other top tier fries in my book i would also say like there's been some consistency issues and the experience of the people working at a wendy's is not pleasant i think that removes it from s here. Burgers, my favorite in that category of fast food, my favorite burger. Their chicken sandwiches are probably my favorite of any chicken place. Chicken nuggets are awesome. Their chicken nuggets are great, except for, I'd say Chick-fil-A is a little bit better, but that's a specific chicken restaurant. For Wendy's, you really can get a lot of it. And we haven't even talked about the Frosties. Oh yeah, Frosties are really good. I've never had a broken Frosty machine. Yeah, that of it and we haven't even talked about the frosties oh yeah frosties are really good i've never had a broken frosty machine yeah that's true i haven't either actually yeah

i haven't either i would say that makes wendy's a solid a okay so wendy's we're saying a tier right solid a i would agree okay a even almost s if they fix a few problems at the restaurant it will be s let's go with burger king next yeah to me like i i grouped burger king mcdonald's and wendy's together because like those were my three options growing up. So even though there's a lot of other ones that are in the same range, I think of those three kind of together. So where's Burger King at for you guys? Ooh, should I go first? Go for it. Yeah, go for it. Now, burger, I hate. I don't know what it is. The flame broil. I don't get it. It's not for me. However, I recently had a revelation with Burger King. I've always been a

McDonald's breakfast guy. I still love McDonald's breakfast. Don't get me wrong. But I recently tried Burger King's breakfast because it was the only restaurant in the area we were driving. And it was like early in the morning. We're like, oh, Burger King does do breakfast. I didn't even realize they did. Their breakfast is phenomenal. I don't like anything else on the menu, but their breakfast is so solid. Everything. They don't do like a whole egg menu but their breakfast is so solid everything they don't do like a whole egg with a yolk in the middle like mcdonald's does for their eggs but they have this like perfect scramble everything is scrambled eggs but it's perfectly distributed it's so fluffy it's very light the sandwiches are very crisp and this was a burger king in the middle of nowhere this

was a nowhere nothing burger king sometimes those are the best ones. And it was just, it was amazing. And then I went back home. I was like, okay, Burger King breakfast. I got to try this again. Still good. They had these French toast sticks with syrup. It was delicious. It felt fresh.

Burger King's little hash brown nuggets. Yes. Very good. Their burrito. It was delicious. Like the breakfast burrito. It was actually good. Okay.

I don't know where to put it honestly because this is like new information i've always thought burger king was like low low low but i have to take this into account all right it's good that you went first because i was gonna start in absolutely ragging burger king i also don't care for the burgers i think their chicken is some of the worst in the fast food realm they used to have like in the 90s they had these like chicken fingers or chicken tenders that were fantastic and they have like chicken fries and then a burger king thing the chicken fries are decent those are decent yeah i've had those they're not as good as their old chicken i don't know like whatever their recipe

was for uh the the breading back in like the 90s was fantastic then they did the crowns which i liked slightly less and then they changed to like absolutely horrible chicken for a while. I refused to eat their chicken nuggets. I've not even tried them in probably a decade, but they used to have great ones. Their fries are fine. There's one quality about their burger that I don't know what it is exactly, but something about the Burger King, the way they build their burgers. I don't know if it's the texture of the lettuce or what. I like the way the sauces mix with the lettuce and like the internals of the burger, but I don't like the way the sauces mix with the lettuce and the internals of the burger. But I don't like the patty. Yeah, no.

It's kind of ruined for me. Yeah, the patty. Something about the patty. It's very rubbery. I do like the patty. That's crazy. Okay. It's like the sprayed on charbroil.

Yeah. But the breakfast is a solid point because I'm a big breakfast burrito fan. McDonald's breakfast burritos are like the gold standard for me for breakfast fast food stuff. Yeah. Burger King's breakfast burrito with the hash browns is pretty, it's like good. It's like almost A tier for me. I was going to say, we have some A tier stuff, some F tier stuff. But the rest of it is like D tier for me. I would say given that it has a good breakfast, like not just a good breakfast,

like it might be my preferred breakfast if it's nearby. Quality breakfast for drive-thru. good breakfast. Like not just a good breakfast. Like it might be my preferred breakfast if it's nearby. Quality breakfast for drive-thru. Quality breakfast. But everything else I don't like. I say it puts it at a C. C. I think that's fair. Good fallback.

Above or below Denny's? Below. Yeah, below Denny's. I would say below. Because if you're going for breakfast, you're going to Denny's and you're going to get a better breakfast. Because you can also get a Burger King that's only staffed by stoners and high school kids where the quality really suffers yeah denny's is always good that's the problem with burger king for me is the quality of the workers again because yeah i remember like

i love their burgers and when their fries are on their fries to me are a lot better than wendy's fries yeah but you can also get the really soggy old fries and the burger patty that's felt like it's been sitting in nothing but juice for like six days and like just awful. Yum. So yeah, that's fair. C tier is fair. C is fair. I think C is fair. I think that's fair. Okay, well let's go to the third in that trifecta, McDonald's. Well...

And a reminder, they've sponsored this episode before, or sponsored this podcast. S tier. Alright, good. Nothing more to say. McDonald's is done. Thank you for sponsoring McDonald's. Ironically though, I would put it S. S. S. S. S. S. S. S. S. S. S. S. S. S. S. S. S. S. S. S. S. S. S. S. S. S. S. S. S. S. S. S. S. S. S. S. S. S. S. S. S. S. S. S. S. S. S. S. S. S. S. S. S. S. S. S. S. S. S. S.

S. S. S. S. S. S. S. S.

S. S. S. S. S. S. S. S.

S. S. S. S. S. S. S. S. S. S. S. S. S. S. S. S. S. S. S. S. S. S. S. S. S to the lowest common denominator. And I accept that. I'm not saying that's a bad thing. They like, I just really like their food, but moving on. Yeah. You get like nuggets and fries and a Coke. Like it's hard to have any of that be wrong. It's always pretty consistent. The one thing that might knock it for me is I remember one night I wanted a McFlurry specifically so bad. And I went to seven different McDonald's before I was able to get one seven i don't know

why their machines are broken the ice cream machine there's a there's some really interesting videos about it there are a lot of videos about out there yeah it's a big like conspiracy topic thing i just i just wanted a flurry man i just wanted an oreo flurry is that so much to ask i just wanted a shamrock shake so s tier for sponsor but actually where would you put it i'd still put it s it's just like such a fallback for me s okay yeah it's just solid it's like you're saying it's kind of like denny's like nothing is like oh that's like the best burger i've ever had there's other places where you get fancy stuff and but everything on the menu is like it's good it's pretty consistent as an all-rounder all-rounder, all-rounder everything, whether the staff is good or bad.

And I do kind of appreciate, you know, I'm not even going to get into the charity things, but like food. I would put it as S because S is like a category of its own. Yeah. Like it is its own beast. And McDonald's is its own beast. And their drinks. McDonald's Coke, McDonald's Sprite, even McDonald's Diet Coke hits differently. I think I know something about that.

I think they keep their syrups refrigerated before they're mixed into the drinks or something like that. They apparently have like an exclusive deal with how their syrups are delivered. Their drinks are better than anyone else's. Yes. And it's not even close. Even if they have a Coke freestyle machine, it doesn't matter is better another one you guys have mentioned so i've got right now i've got mcdonald's s tier wendy's a no b's we have denny's and burger king at c ihop d waffle

house f that's where we're at right now let's do chick-fil-a that was one that was mentioned and to me chick-fil-a is a weird one because their food is like top tier to me but they've got a lot of other parts about them that i don't like listen listen so let's get this out of the way chick-fil-a i and there's like there's like competing stories about this but generally chick-fil-a contributes money to organizations that support anti-lgbtq plus works it's like they supported like conversion therapy and then they didn't or they changed to that that's not good and i try not to eat chick-fil-a for that reason yeah but also everyone goes on and on about how good their stupid fucking waffle fries are they're not good i'm not a huge waffle fry person if i wanted to eat soggy waffle potatoes i could make that myself at home in the microwave.

They're not good. They're never crispy. Really? They're always undersalted. They're just overrated to me. I have the opposite problem. Mine are crispy, but they're usually oversalted

when I get them. You know what's good about Chick-fil-A? The sauces. Yeah. The sauces are S tier. The, what's it? The honey barbecue or whatever. The little packet of honey barbecue

smoked barbecue sauce great chick-fil-a sauce delicious they're uh polynesian sauce or whatever it is they're like sweet and sour sauce delicious sriracha spicy sweet one they're all good but the rest of it it's a chicken sandwich it's a chicken nugget and it's shitty ass fries everyone loves their fries and i don't get it i think they're gross all right okay fair so i said it so where would you put it i i mean if we're just judging it on the food you can add whatever factors you want you can judge it on all of it if you want the food is pretty good but if we're judging it like as a company as do what i do i like eating at this place do i choose to eat at this place i would say d or f okay when i do eat chick-fil-a because i do i'm not a perfect person it makes me feel terrible you know and i don't want to support

that i don't want to support a company that's is hurting people and is hateful but it's complicated i don't know low i'll put it low it's it's tough right yeah it is one of those things where there are policies you just cannot agree with but also it's like generally speaking i do know that there are a lot of stories about Chick-fil-A treating their workers really well. And if you ever go to a Chick-fil-A, which I do again, not perfect, their workers are happy

because their starting pay is higher. Their training is better. I know, I don't like the my pleasure thing. I don't get that. My pleasure. I like that. I don't know what that even is. It's a little weird.

When you say thank you they go my pleasure they have to say that that's like prescribed weird oh really that's weird their drive-thrus are so well maintained because they are so popular um but at the same time it's like even if they are very good to their employees and their food is great it is some one of those things where it's like their policies i disagree with i do kind of feel bad every time i go there and if you walk away from a restaurant feeling bad even if the food's good you got to kind of rate it lower and it's not like it needs our help in this tier list and i think that i would put it at c just because i am a hit i would be a hypocrite and i think i would be grandstanding if i said that i'm like god rate it low but i still eat it right okay so that's fair i can do low c high d which one low c low c oh c okay i think that's fair i think

they've got some great things about them and they've got some of the worst things about them and it's really a strange mixture and hard to rate for that reason so just pop it in the middle Let's do Five Guys. Burgers and fries. Oh. Ah, yeah. Tough. I don't have complex feelings about this one, but I imagine other people do. What are you? You don't have complex feelings? Go for it.

No. I'm not complex. I just like it. I like the food. I think Five Guys is great. I miss pre-COVID Five Guys where you could go in and sit down and get a thing of peanuts in Ohio you can still do those things I do have concerns about the peanut situation because Ethan is the first friend I had who had like a severe peanut allergy so before I was friends with Ethan it was

like ah sick peanuts everywhere and now when I go in there I'm kind of like ha yeah it's a death trap isn't it um so like that's concerning for my friend yeah i mean i guess it kind of is but their burgers delicious the variety of toppings they have delightful their fries solid and you can get cajun fries and they give you a lot like you order a regular fry they give you like two large fries worth of fries for most of the restaurant it is pricey but yeah you get a lot yeah what you pay it is expensive expensive. I would say that's the one thing. It's a little expensive for what it is. Yeah.

I love Five Guys. A for me. Solid A. I agree. The burger is the best burger. Like Wendy's is my favorite of the fast food burgers, but here's my thing.

And here's my thesis. Five Guys is not fast food. I mean, yeah, there's not a drive-thru typically, but like you can go in, get it to go. I don't know. It's close. It still takes a long time. It does. It does. I believe I've had faster service at a Denny's type restaurant than I usually have going into a Five Guys. You know, when I order it for delivery, I always feel bad because the delivery worker is there for like 15

minutes before he leaves. And I know it's not because he's chowing down on a sandwich while he's there. It's because he's waiting with everyone else. Five Guys is great. Great burger. Great fries. Love it better than any other burger of this category. But yeah, I would put it at A just because I got to dock it.

Above or below Wendy's? I kind of want to put it at B. I kind of want to put it at B I kind of want to put it at B because it is the sit-down experience is not great it's a little slow it's man I kind of I I if I'm thinking a in terms it's my favorite burger and that's pretty much all they do and I love their Cajun fries but at the same time it's not really fast food i mean we have denny's i hop and waffle house those aren't really either yeah i mean i i get your point but i would say it it is equally slow at a lot of other places that fall into this taco bell for me is just as slow because taco bell

is always so busy that you end up waiting 15 20 minutes yeah i've definitely waited longer at an in and out because the line is always insane. Yeah. I have out of five guys, but I would, I would, that's a definite ding. Like you, it seems like they could be faster sometimes for sure. Yeah. Low A?

Would you take a low A? It's so close. For me, it's so close to A. I would not be offended if it was, but I would put it like a B plus. Wade, I think you got to make the final call. I'm going to put it at A. For me, it's S tier. I'll put it at A, like a low A for you guys. But for me, like if I had a choice

on most given days, I would go with Five Guys over all the other ones. Just it's all so good. I've never had a bad burger or bad fries from Five Guys. It's all made like right there after you order it. It's not been sitting around. It's so fresh and good every bite is delightful i've never had a bad experience out of five guys i do i do not enjoy the leaking of how much grease comes out of the foil when you open it up it's not the healthiest it's definitely not the health there is a feeling of like well a year of my life is gone after eating a burger there but it's so good yeah there is no that's what i'd say another reason why it's b is because they they don't really have a diversity of options and and don't get me wrong they do burgers and hot dogs wonderfully and fries what they do they do perfectly but there is not a lot of option it is

you go there for a burger and fries for a restaurant like yes oh yeah burger i would pick five guys every time maybe not every day maybe not every week price grease price menu options yeah and the peanut scare peanuts time maybe it's like b plus then i would push for b plus but again would not be offended with it i b is fine for me i will say 90 of my experience with five guys has been order ahead pick it up yeah it's ready the moment i walk in so the delay thing is not a big deal but when you do when back in the day, when you sit down, you eat peanuts for a long time waiting for your food. Yeah.

And I'm not that attached to it. It's S tier for me. I will, this is your guys' debate. I will put B plus if you agree on that. But for me, it's an S tier food. I love it. I love it. Yeah.

If they had more options and like the price is something to consider, $16 for a burger here in California is a little much. Let's do In-N-Out then. I want to do Pizza Places soon too, but we're going to do In-N-Out since that one was mentioned. And that's another one that I don't have access to often, but I really like the food whenever I'm out there and can get it. Do you have strong opinions, Mark?

No. I don't know. I've gone to it two times. Not really. All the off-menu things is kind of cool, I guess. You know, it's an okay burger. It's okay. This is another one where, for me, the burger, I burger i like the mustard you can get it mustard fried or whatever and it's kind of the

burger is good and the toppings and stuff the lettuce is always crisp i like it the shakes and the off-menu stuff is cool you can order you know animal style stuff or you can get a you know flying dutchman or whatever there's all these special things the fries unless you eat them within five minutes of them coming out of the fryer while they're still so hot that they burn your mouth gross soggy gross i feel like that ruins it for me i really like the burger they don't have anything else on the menu they don't even have like chicken sandwich or anything right it's literally like burgers fries and shakes i think right i've only been a few times yeah yeah that's pretty much it yeah the fries are bad. If you drive all the way home before you eat your fries when you get it from the drive-thru, it's bad. Yeah. And plus,

you have to wait like an hour because the line, every In-N-Out I've ever seen, if you go anywhere near lunch or dinner time, the line is like 30 cars. The line wraps out of the parking lot, across the street, into the parking lot in front of the Verizon store, around the back to the Starbucks drive-thru. It's like you're driving a whole safari on your way to the In-N-Out while you're in the line. Yeah. It's not worth it. I mean, it's true.

Because the fries are bad. The craziest thing is Chick-fil-A has drive-thru figured out. They do. Period. There's no one that does it better. We went to Chick-fil-a like a last month and we looked at the drive-thru and there were so many cars we're like oh my god it will never get through here but they had three lanes and it wasn't that mcdonald's like oh two

lanes but then it merges back and you run into the problems of like did you go first or i go first or how are they gonna know they're gonna fuck up our order they had three lanes dedicated with three people to each lane one to take the order, one to take the payment, and one to guide you on who goes where and who does what merge. Why don't other companies do that? It's so clear. And I get it. It's a manpower thing. They don't want to pay for the other people. But it's like clearly In-N-Out has the business for it. Why don't they just figure it out? I will say the In-N-Out by us that we've been to a couple of times, they have three people managing the drive-thru. They don't have multiple lines. They have one long drive-thru, but they have three people who walk up and down and are taking orders and

managing the line so it doesn't block traffic and stuff. Doesn't help. Still takes forever. And then you get home and your fries are soggy and I like animal style. So the dressing like soaks in and the cheese is kind of set and plasticky. It's just disappointing. The burger is great. Fries are gross. Yeah, I like watching the guy do the fries and back because they're single fried. They're not double fried like other fries.

That would keep things crispy and also put more oil in it, but whatever. I just watch him go put the potato in there and I just keep thinking, what if he gets his hand caught in there? That would be horrible. I'm watching and he's really fast. He's like a potato. I'm like, I know he's going to get tired sometime and his hand's going to go in there. He's going to get hand fries.

Is that going to affect your rating? Do you like that or not like that? I can't even tell. I don't know. It's entertaining. I just like wait with bated breath as I'm waiting 10 minutes for my order, you know? I'm just like, oh, maybe this time I might get to see Cooked Cook. Like, I would say In-N-Out is C or D for me.

I don't know. I'm indifferent. I'm not even going to rate it. I just don't care about it. I just don't care. It doesn't even cross my mind. I really enjoy it, but it's also a rare thing for me. I can only get it once in a while.

So, like, and I remember the first time I ever had it was, like, I think it was a lunch. There was, like, a food truck that pulled up. It was, like, an In-N-Out food truck, and I was starving. I had not eaten all day, and I remember the first time I ever had it was like, I think it was a lunch. There was like a food truck that pulled up. It was like an In-N-Out food truck. And I was starving. I had not eaten all day. And I was desperate for food. I was starting to feel like weak and woozy because I needed something in my system. And like, there it was.

And I just got a burger and it was perfect. The bun was like toasted and crispy. The cheese was perfect. It was a perfect first bite. And it's like permanently like got that impact on my brain of how like big of a savior that one bite felt like when I was So hungry, but with all of the other factors I could see it seat here Would you put it below chick-fil-a below Burger King above them? Where would you go? I guess Bob I don't know mid C

Yeah, bottom bottom of C or top of D, I guess guess okay i'll put it bottom of c for now we can always move things around uh just a refresher for everyone out there listening mcdonald's s tier wendy's a five guys b denny's burger king chick-fil-a in and out c i hop d waffle house f right now fair i like that i'm on board with that okay fair and it makes sense that we have most i mean we the only one we have multiple in right now is c but it makes sense that c would be where most things fall that's the tall boy he's the middle there's so many restaurants i want to do but just looking at the time let's do some pizza places let's do pizza hut it's weird because i like their pasta better than i like their pizza i have some places like that actually so that's that's I get that. I just don't understand it. They're fettuccine Alfredo that they did. I don't even know if they

still do it like I would prefer that. I don't order Pizza Hut for their pizza. And I think that really says something about them. But that's still something on their menu that you enjoy. True, true. I am not above trashy pizza from like the big four pizza kings i'm not either but i would group them all together for me and put them low oh c or d like i i don't dislike a pizza hut or a little caesar's or or even like papa john's their pizza is fine ignoring the stuff about the papa but they're all the same to me and it's like it's just some pizza from some pizza place. I would much rather have whatever that local place is that makes those sweet pies or it's the cool place where they have a nice oven and they make the Neapolitan pies. Or it's like we have one near us that's like a fusion place.

It's like an Indian food fusion, Indian American. And they have like tikka masala pizza and stuff. I would much rather have your interesting local pizza spot or some of those more niche ones like around us we have like mountain mics or like round table pizza which are like chains but they're kind of they're not like pizza hut they're like a little step up i would rather have any any of those but if there's a pizza hut pizzas in there i'm not going to be like oh i would never yeah i i'll fuck up a domino's like that's fine it's probably delicious it's pizza so i dropped pizza papa john's little

caesars and domino's all currently in c and we can move them around but they are all currently in c below in and out we can try to quickly rate these no no the fact of the matter it doesn't matter it's pizza yeah it's pizza i may have a preference for Papa John's. I know the Papa is very not OK, but also the company distance himself. I don't care. I'm not going to give bonus points for that. That's my preferred pizza. But these of these chain pizzas, it doesn't matter. It's pizza. You're going to eat it no matter what. I like all the pizzas fine. Like I'll eat all of them fine, too. I would say of those four pizzas, Little Caesars, I actually really love their pizza. Like I really like Little Caesars pizza i crave it sometimes i don't know that i really crave the

other ones so much like they're hot and readies they're hot and readies are cool yeah domino's to me might be the lowest tier pizza but domino's wings and pasta is my favorite i love getting their wings and pasta and their sandwiches yeah are really good they're like baked sandwiches it's legit papa john's can be up there with Little Caesars as the best pizza, but I've also had the worst pizzas from Papa John's. Sometimes their cheese, there's something about their cheese when it's done that I take a bite and it's like, ugh, and I just feel a little bit nauseous and I don't want to eat anymore.

Sometimes their pizza's top tier. This is why I'm saying it don't matter. Lump them in C because someone is someone's favorite. Someone's least favorite. Good experience, bad experience. It's favorite. Someone's someone's least favorite good experience. It's pizza unless you're getting it from an actual restaurant that specializes in pizza. Like, oh man,

what was that place where I used to live? Oh, Adriatic. Oh, oh my God. Adriatic. Oh, my God. Yeah. Adriatic. LaRose is I like this good. Blaze is like a franchise place, but Blaze is good. I like Blaze. I like Dewey's a lot. It was a place that it was like blaze but it was like better than blaze it was like 800 degrees something dewey's is one of my favorite pizzas dewey's is legit they've got

great they've got a good salad and great pizzas yeah and uh what's that place mellow mushroom is very similar to dewey's they have like a different flavor profile but i didn't like theirs as much personally but theirs was still good they have a really good buffalo chicken at mellow mushroom yeah but yeah well for the sake of moving on we have all four pizza places i have them right now below in and out burger i'll put them at the bottom of c yeah bottom of c okay they're in c solidly but whatever that's where they be um taco bell i feel like this one is divisive this one is going to be be divisive. Yeah, it probably is. Maybe not for us. If you're high, it's S tier. I've never been high, but I think everyone that's high always...

That's the thing, right? When you get high, Taco Bell is the stereotypical thing people want. Yeah. I have a specific personal memory that endears Taco Bell to me. And also, I generally enjoy their food. And I don't care if you say, oh, it's E-grade meat. It's what they use in dog food. My dog is fine. She eats dog food every day seems seems fine to me your dogs are fine wow that's good to hear thanks for asking or wait I was in college and I was a broke boy in college

I did not have a lot I usually live like managing my debit account like oh I got five dollars so I can spend four dollars and fifty cents in dinner tonight or something, you know, like, and I would like, I like going out. So I tried to as much as I could. One time I went to Taco Bell and I made my order and the drive through and I got to the window and I realized that for some reason, my like debit card was out of my wallet. It was at home. I had like a dollar or two in cash. I didn't have enough. And I got to the window and i was like i forgot my wallet i'll just leave like i was so bummed out because i was just like i would die it's a long shift at work ready for some dinner and i was like i'm sorry i'm so sorry i didn't you wasted the food up and the guy was like bro don't worry about it here is your food enjoy your night and

like it's you know you get a lot of like stoners and people who don't give a damn who work at taco bell they've always been so friendly to me they've always been taco bell is just like this place where like yeah it's trashy yeah it's like gross beef with gross cheese sauce and the lettuce is horrendous and i don't care give me a crunch wrap and some zero sugar baja blast and i'm in heaven that's like A tier for me. I love it. Here's my proposal, because you could debate endlessly about the quality of the food. It doesn't matter. Taco Bell exists in a category of its own.

It is T tier. It's a separate ranking. Where's T? Because it doesn't matter. We're putting it in. I say we put it in T. You could literally like you go there and it doesn't matter if there's dirt in that tortilla it you're gonna eat it it tastes good if the hot sauce the baja blast you could identify

a million mother that shit in some hot sauce yeah it's there for you when you need it it like exists in its own pocket dimension because it's not mexican but it's you know kinda i guess used to be or something it just is a different beast It's a different beast. T tier does not exist within the normal tiers. It is off to the side and neither above nor below any other tier. Yeah. I think that's what Taco Bell deserves. I approve this message. Okay.

I'm going to just drop it and never had so that I know that it's something to put into a separate category. We've not had any never had yet. That's T tier. That's T. T tier. Okay. Taco Bell's either A or in a category of its own.

T, we're saying T. T. This is consensus. Consensus. Okay, cool. T tier. Taco Bell. Confirmed.

All right. Fazoli's. Going back to pizza. What? Fazoli's. Fazoli's? Fazoli's? What's Fazoli's?

This one's for Mandy. I kiss my fingers and point up to God. There used to be one here in cincinnati that i know i went to a couple times growing up fazoli's is not just a pizza place i would say it is possibly the only fast food italian food place if you want some spaghetti marinara if you want some chicken alfredo or not alfredo Parmesan. If you want a nice meatball sandwich and everything comes with free breadsticks, you can get as many breadsticks. Even through the drive-thru, you can be like,

hey, toss in some extra breadsticks. And they're like, yeah, bro, here's some breadsticks. No way. Rizzoli's is S tier for me. This is like Mandy's favorite fast food, possibly one of Mandy's favorite restaurants because spaghetti marinara is like one of her favorite things and their spaghetti marinara is outstanding okay it's so good i'm not saying it's good italian food i'm not saying that it's even all very italian food it's like a flavor of childhood there's something about their marinara sauce that captures that like

school lunch tomato sauce but like you liked it or almost like that SpaghettiOs sort of flavor. It's like, it's just so good. And the breadsticks are so good. They're like drenched in garlic butter. And I'm not saying it's not trashy. I'm not saying anything else. It's S tier for me. Okay. I'm looking at their menu and I hear everything you're saying, and I would love to agree with it because everything you're saying speaks to my soul. It looks like their dishes are kind of what I like about Pizza Hut's pasta. It's quick. It's easy. It has that sense of it's not an expensive pasta like some fancy Italian place, but it's like that childhood pasta. However, I cannot judge it because I have not had it. So what I'll do is I'm going to drag Amy. There's a fazoli that is about 45 minutes from

me. I'm going to drag her there probably today. Cool. We'll pause recording till then. Let me know. And we'll come back and I'll update in the next episode if I agree with this or not. We'll have I'll do some actual research. I'm jealous that you guys have a Fazoli's you can go to. I've not had Fazoli's since I was single digits.

So it's hard for me to remember how I have no way to rank it either. So I'm just going to default. I'll put it in S right now. Bob says Fazoli's is S tier. I don't remember because it's hard for me to remember how to i have no way to rank it either so i'm just going to default i'll put it at s right now bob says fazoli's is s tier i don't remember because it's been so long mark's never had it it's 45 minutes away it's not exactly near hey we drive 45 minutes to get canes okay okay some things are worth it now are well let's talk about that yeah there's a wing place that we've all eaten at in fairfield ohio a shout out to buffalo joes in fairfield ohio that was a heck of a drive from my hometown but they were worth the 40 minute drive because their wings were the best in the state careful if you ask for extra wet yeah don't order extra sauce an extra side of sauce you don't need it i do love buffalo joes yeah you don't need it i do love buffalo joe's yeah you don't need it you want soup you want sauce soup

you go get it extra wet so right now i've got four points for mark who's come back from negative two or three at one point i got five points for bob so we're close we're pretty close here just listen to the passion you guys have had for different things i've adjusted the points as we've gone along but let's uh i don't know if you guys are okay to keep going a little bit we can try to do some faster ratings but we're not done any of the sandwich well bob just mentioned canes yes i think we are going to have a talk about canes canes is worth the talk canes is worth the talk okay all right canes we'll do canes do you want this or you want me to go first i want to hear unless you want to hear my thing about canes okay i canes for me it's the most s tier part is the sauce the cane sauce

that comes that's like the one sauce they have they have ketchup and whatever but it's like their main dipping sauce it's good it's nice it's a good dipping sauce for some chicken fingers and french fries i love their chicken and fries i love it i think they taste delicious everything else you get in like a regular canes meal meal, the chicken tenders, excellent. At least A tier for me. The fries, crinkle cut, always crispy. Not like my favorite fries in the world, but always good, especially because you dip them in the sauce. The toast that's toasted and crispy on one side, S tier. And their coleslaw, solid. Normal, whatever coleslaw. I like coleslaw. It'seslaw it's tasty so we have a to s for bob it's all good i love canes look at the picture that i've put in the discord i don't see this

picture what the damn hell is happening urban legends showdown canes mukbang there's a picture of a cryptid in the background of someone with a massive pile of probably like 50 nuts it's a canes mukbang for like 10 people uh jesus yeah and one girl trying to eat it all but why is there a crypt all right so that's my take on canes what do you got mark where you kind of where you at canes d oh wow okay explain i don't care it's one of those things where Cane's, maybe it's, this is probably biased, but everyone built up Cane's as being this, oh, it's the most incredible thing. It's how you have to have Cane's. Everything about it is like oozing with S to your goodness.

I had it. I've had it multiple times. It's fine. It's not mind blowing. It's not incredible. The sauce is okay. I'd prefer sauce from so many different places than their sauce. I don't like coleslaw.

Their Texas toast is just a piece of white bread. Their chicken sandwich is fine. It's like nothing about it. Their fries, the crinkle cut, I don't really like them. It feels like that school lunch, but not in the nostalgic way of the Italian place you're talking about. There's nothing about Cane's that stands out as great food to me in any way. You had the chicken sandwich? I've had the chicken sandwich.

I didn't even know they have a chicken sandwich. Yeah, they have a chicken sandwich. And I've had the- You get chicken fingers. I've got the chicken fingers. I got it all. And I got the whole plate. I've eaten in the restaurant.

I've done drive-thru. I've had it. It's fine. Like, it's okay. Nothing about it is exceptional in any way and i would put that at c but it's like the animalistic drive for canes that people like you said you would go 45 minutes for it i just don't understand it therefore out of i think pure spite i just want to put it at d i would be willing to drive 20 30 minutes for canes yeah why their chicken tenders are just so satisfyingly good to me.

Yeah. Do you have like chicken tenders at other places? Are you familiar with chicken tenders? I do like chicken tenders. I'm not really a chicken tenders guy. I would usually go for wings or nuggets as opposed to tenders. Cane's is the only fast food place, and I would include Chick-fil-A in this, where when I get their chicken, when I

bite into a chicken tender, or if you cut it or whatever, I've never had a moment where I looked at it and I was like, oh, is this processed? Their chicken is always like just good chicken thigh, like chicken tenderloin, whatever meat. It's always good quality and it's always cooked right. It's never dry and sad. The breading is never too thick or too light they have achieved the perfect chicken finger and if you don't care about chicken fingers that's fine and like you're allowed to not like the sauce too because i love the sauce but that's like a personal taste thing but like it's just the best chicken fingers you can get in a drive-thru so we have an s tier and a d tier i don't know i can it at B. That's like right in the middle of S and D. B! That's the average between S and D. I hate to tell you.

B! It's not B food! I would say I like Cane's better than most standard drive-thru stuff. Really? I would put Cane's above Denny's definitely myself. Putting it with Five Guys feels good to me even though I feel like Five Guys is also underrated

on this list. It's just the diversity of stuff. It's like, it's so one note. The chicken finger, like I said, is fine, but it's not. Five Guys serves burgers and fries, and we have that at B. They also have a hot dog and a BLT, but no one's ever ordered those. But I don't like Cane's. You're just being spiteful because everyone overhyped it. Whenever Bob said S

and you said D I knew that we were not like there's not going to be a consensus but if I average you out it's a B I don't know how we could ever convince you to delay pick one I will not accept a B I will not accept anything except a D then two points

to Bob for being correct and this is definitely S or A tier I don't know why you chose to do that when you knew Wade was already on my side Great. Then two points to Bob for being correct. And this is definitely S or A tier. I don't know why you chose to do that when you knew Wade was already on my side. Because I would rather not have this merge of all. Let's hold hands and let's compromise. I will stand in my not point having D hole here. Because raising canes is overrated.

It's the same as the in and out crowd. It doesn't matter. It's food, yes, but I would pick anything above canes is overrated. It's the same as the in and out crowd. It doesn't matter. It's food, yes, but I would pick anything above canes. You know what else makes canes S tier? Cane is a dog, and there have been generations of canes, and there are pictures of the dog in the restaurant. The original cane must be dead, and that's as dead as my caring for canes. All right, Bob, were you S or A tier? Because I had to pick one according to Mark, so I sided with you.

Was it S or A? S. S tier. All right. It's the extra spite, Mark. I gave Mark a couple points for his passion and dedication to his point. But right now we have 10 points for Bob, 7 points for Mark. That's where we're standing.

Wow. We're going to go quickly here because we're running out of time. We're technically probably even out of time, but I want to get some of these sandwich places in here. Penn Station, Subway, and Jimmy Johnmy john's wait i have a concept uh sure what if we move to a speed round and this is just arbitrary but points go to the person that wade agrees with okay all right that's gonna be very skewed toward me but that's fine so you throw it out there we get one or two sentences to explain our position and then wade i mean you get points to whoever you want but speed round okay uh let's do penn station first a b it's okay but barely

better than subway barely better than subway points to bob then a miles ahead of subway streets ahead even it's barely better i i think penn station is a lot very far ahead of subway i think so um subway c it's a sandwich it's a gross sandwich it's a fine sandwich the veggies are gross i'm going to agree with mark i think c to d is fair for that low c so i'll point to mark for that boo uh jimmy john's a i like their their types of sandwiches i worked at jimmy john's i've eaten probably hundreds of jimmy john's sandwiches still a for me love it I agree with both of you. You both get a point.

And it's Molly craves Jimmy John's sometimes. I've never personally been a huge, huge fan of it. But for my wife's sake, I will go with A for you all. And you both get points. I feel like you have to like cold sandwiches. And I know a lot of people like a hot sandwich. I like both. If you're cool with cold sandwiches, I love Jimmy John's.

There's other sandwich places, but I also want to get some of my favorites in here. Skyline Chili. I mean, S. S, honestly. S. Like, we must be biased. We have to be biased, but it doesn't matter, S. A bunch of Cincinnati boys.

What can we say? 10 points for both of you. It is S to me. The only chili shop that's more S than Skyline is Camp Washington. I've never had that one. I'm going to put Gold Star on here too. What do you guys think about Gold Star?

Gold Star, S plus. What? Excuse me? S plus. Better above Skyline. Gold Star, B. Oh, no, no, no, no, no. Their chili's better.

Their hot sauce is better. Like everything about it is better. Their hot sauce is not better. Their hot sauce is better. It's not- Skyline's hot sauce is way better. Goldstar's hot sauce is basically Frank's Red Hot. Skyline's hot sauce is like Frank's Red Hot,

only spicier and good. No, it's Tabas is basically Frank's Red Hot. Skyline's hot sauce is like Frank's Red Hot, only spicier and good. No, it's Tabasco. It's worse. It is not Tabasco because I hate Tabasco and I like Skyline. Well, I'll do a blind taste test. Speed round. Speed round. We're speed rounding.

Right. I'm going to give points to Bob here. I do think it's higher than B. I think it's pretty close to Skyline, but I would give Skyline the edge. The one thing I like a lot more about Gold Star is their crinkle fries if you get chili cheese fries their fries stay crispy to me a lot longer than skyline's do well it sounds like it's better than skyline sounds like it's better chili cheese fries are pretty good but the chili is not as good and that's the whole thing chili is better it's not it is oh yes wrong i would get a three-way or a cheese coney at skyline first

and gold star is doing like a burger thing now. They used to do like these burritos. Molly loved their burritos. I don't care. But they got rid of the burritos to bring in burgers. And that knocked it down a notch for me too. That's dumb. Bad call.

Burgers are dumb. But I wouldn't go there for any of those things. I only go there for chili spaghetti. All right. So S plus Skyline. I've got Gold Star like an A or a B. I just think it's a notch down. A is fine.

Below Skyline is where gold star belongs all right gold star a all right oh what next what about steak and shake i see i don't really care steak and shake is big nostalgia for me we used to go there after marching man uh performances and like after like all kinds of stuff a for me i love their milkshakes and i love their greasy what's it called the sandwich on the bread melt oh i see the melt you know yeah the one it's like a burger but it's on rye bread okay thousand island dressing what the hell is that called panini no it's a specific thing i don't know man they did a 3d grilled cheese at one point where they like made the burger inside out and toasted the bun and they had like um what it was called 3d grilled cheese it was a cheeseburger basically where they toasted

the bun and put it inside out so it was like crispy biting into it it was like a grilled cheese it's called a patty melt ah patty melt their patty melt is delicious so you said a what did you say mark c i don't care man i'm gonna not give any points i'd put it at a b myself i think it's right in between there they suffer from inconsistency if you get steak Shake that's good, it's top of the line. But I've also waited in horrible Steak and Shake lines. I've also had horrible Steak and Shake foods. Maybe I'll sign with Mark and give it a C. But it's like a high C or a B to me.

Okay. Yeah, mine is nostalgia, which is personal. I've got some nostalgia from there too because I used to go there after work with friends and stuff. So I've got that. Anyway, Freddy's frozen custard and steak burger, which is a similar type sandwich to me. You took me there once and I don't remember. Five nights at Freddy's.

I've never had this. I saw it cropping up. I've never had for both of you all put. But for me, I think Freddy's is just a notch above steak and shake. They're pretty close. I'd put Freddy's at like a B, but you guys should try. It's pretty good. Panda Express.

I would say for similar reasons to Denny's, C. I've had really good consistency with Panda Express. You know what you're going to get. It is what it is. Their rice is fine. Their fried rice is fine. It's not special, but it's tasty. You know what the orange chicken's going to be. You know what the string bean chicken's going to be. It's always the same. I would say C. Okay. The only reason I say D versus A is because yes, Denny's is the same every time consistency. But when you know what you're getting, I always think to myself, I know what I'm getting, but it's not really what I want. I would give it a B or an A myself. I really like it.

I've never had bad food from there. Really? Their orange chicken and rice is just like, it's something that my body wants. I salivate thinking about it. I got to get you to a good Chinese restaurant, man. He would never. I mean, I like Chinese food, but their orange chicken to me is just something else. I don't know.

But I'll agree with Bob. He was higher there, so I'll give Bob a point. Right now we're at 24, Bob. 19 marks. So Mark, you're going to have to do some major shifting here to pull me in. All right. Speed. KFC.

B. I really like it, but I can't say it's good for you b yeah i like it but it can't be bad it can't be slow too i think a b is fair uh wash but yeah no b is good um popeye f i have a story but i can't uh i mean yeah d for me okay popeyes is fine overhyped i live north carolina and everyone's like popeyes is the best no it's fucking not it's fine it's chicken and whatever i've not had enough to be able to really rate myself but df okay i'll put it in d for now but i mean i'm not gonna get points can i tell the story we got time yeah sure basically i was in austin for this and it was uh like we were filming space and i go and i'm hungry i I'm like, oh, there's Popeye's by my Airbnb here.

So I go in the drive-thru. There's only one car ahead of me. It takes me 20 minutes to get from the speaker to the front. And I only got my order in like in minute 19 of the 20 that actually talked to me. And then I pull around and I get there and it's pandemonium through the window. The manager is a middle-aged woman. She's screaming. There's four

teenage kids in here like young way too young kids but they're all working there and they're just screaming i don't even know what they were screaming about they're just like screaming at this finally after five minutes of watching this fight ensue one of them comes over to the window opens up he's like hey uh what'd you order oh no and then he's like you know as i said whatever my order was it was some kind of like meal box and he looks at me he gives me that look you know though he goes oh god hey are you markiplier and then i'm like oh god get me out of here he goes over to his buddy he's like hey it's markiplier and this guy comes over and just like glares at me for a minute straight and then the guy who was glaring me the lady yells at him and he turns

around just like from the glare to the oh you know and then just starts right back in the fight and then i ordered like a meal box with fries and a drink i get handed the drink i poke the straw in and i noticed that there's no fizz i ordered like a diet dr pepper oh no and there's no fizz and also it's not brown and i crack open the lid and it's just like slightly bubbly water with some dirt at the bottom like literal specks of dirt at the bottom of this cup and then i get handed my bag of quote unquote food he had tossed in a bag no box, a chicken leg, a handful of fries, and like two pieces, like butt ends of a nugget. And he hits that bat at me. And then goes right back to fighting and screaming. And I just walk away from this and be like,

what the hell happened to me? That's a pretty awful first and only experience. That's fair. Yeah, that's fair. That's fair. I'll give you three points for that story. Okay. 24 to 22.

Bob's still up. We're going to try to get a couple more quick ones in. Arby's. Ooh. Ah, B. Yeah. I like it. It's different.

It's different. I'll give it B for different. It's not good. I don't really like it, but it is different. And they have curly fries, so B. I like their fries. Their curly fries with the horsey sauce. Really good.

Oh, yeah. And I like, this is weird, but they have gyros, which is like a red. I don't know if they still do, but they used to have gyros. I love those things. Delicious. Never heard that. Where'd you put it, Bob? B is good.

I love B. I agree. All right. Wash. White Castle. Bob, you go first. Before I'm eating White Castle, B. Very happy.

Excited about it. After I've eaten White Castle, B. Very happy. Excited about it. After I've eaten White Castle, F. Big sad. Not good things happening to my insides. Complicated. Okay, so C or a D, I guess. No, no, no.

You got it. So B and then an F. Before and after. I agree with Bob. Okay, B then F. It changes over time, but it can be. It is a B and an F simultaneously. I like that. Give him the point. All right, it is a B and an F simultaneously. I like that. Give him the point.

All right. Point to Bob. Okay. Chipotle. A, solid and I almost feel like I'm healthy when I'm eating it. I almost. No, I know I'm not, but it's almost there. B, because I always think I'm going to order healthy and then I'm like guacamole and double

sour cream and mostly cheese. I want cheese mixed into sour cream in a cup with a spoon and some barbacoa on that shit. Ask your own doing Yeah, well they trapped me. I don't eat chipotle, but Molly loves it I'll put it in a for her and I know that they they're quick and they've really only We've only ever had like one mistake with an order. They've been pretty consistent She likes it a lot. It seems like people really like it a lot. So I'll go with mark for that Yeah, but personally I don people really like it a lot. So I'll go with Mark for that with the A. But personally, I don't really eat it.

DQ. I don't think I've ever gone for the food. Yeah, no, you shouldn't get food from Dairy Queen. I have gotten food from Dairy Queen. It's equivalent to like a professional sports stadium concession stand. That's not really far off, yeah. It's not good. It's fine and edible, but it's not good.

Why in God's name would you get food when they got blizzards and peanut butter parfaits and shit get out of that part of the menu and order some ice cream goddamn so if you had to rate it based on what you've had from there where would you put it a for the ice cream but the food might as well not exist hey for the ice cream okay mark uh i mean i'll give a c it's just like it's okay the blizzards are pretty good. I'll give it that, but nothing else there is good. I think I'll agree with Mark here. I think C is about where I'd put it. So 24 to 25.

We're one point differential here. Checkers slash rallies. Love it. Love it. Yeah, the burgers are okay. For me, their fries are S. Their burgers are kind of average. I would, yeah, I would put a C, I guess.

I love a big Buford. Are you kidding me oh right nah i mean a buford then they used to have really interesting sandwiches there was a rallies near the school that i worked at in cincinnati for a couple years and they used to have like weird like a barbecue onion ring spicy chicken sandwich with and it was like yeah new shit yeah you're trying stuff all right always have the s tier fries and then always have some kind of weird new burger chicken sandwich thing to try i love it a for me okay a and c uh yes yeah god i gotta go with mark because

i don't know if i can quite put it at a because they're not as consistent and their burgers are a step down but i i want to put it at a because when they're on they are We have inconsistency already down there at sea I know man the fries. Those are the best fast food for me a best fast food fries I will give it that best fries. Okay, we need to get a tiebreaker before we can wrap up then Do long John Silver's if you guys had wing stop no do long John Silver's make that the tiebreaker Long John Silver's that Make that the tiebreaker. Long John Silver's. That'll be interesting to see where you guys do that.

Okay, Long John Silver's. Yeah, that's a good one. I feel like Mark has history with this one. I'm concerned. I do. Uh-oh. I do. Long John Silver's, S.

I will take no questions. S, it is like you look for fish anywhere else in this entire lineup. Maybe McDonald's has a fish sandwich. It's not that great. Their Baja fish tacos sustained me through college. It was two for $5. They were so much food. It was good. I can't agree that it would be healthy. I don't know the health of it, but I love Long John Silver's. It is a tragedy that there aren't that many of them like fish as an option for fast food. It's delightful. All right, Bob, i have a fundamental problem with the premise of long john silvers that is that you should serve fish in a fast food context okay you know you know if i ever wanted a

surefire way to get diarrhea i would try and get someone to cook me a fish meal in under five minutes. If I ever wanted to try and get listeria from a restaurant, I'd go somewhere where they got raw fish flopping around in the same place that a teenager is filling up my diet Coke. If I ever wanted to eat the shit that's inside of a shrimp that you have to clean out before you fry the shrimp. I would order shrimp from a Long John Silver's because they don't clean those veins out. And it's not a vein. It's a digestive tract full of shrimp poop.

This is slander. Oh, no, no, no. Okay. For your rant, I will give you two points. However, no, no, no. I agree with Mark. I love Long John Silver's. Yes. for your rant i will give you two points however no no no i agree with mark i love long john silvers man yes i might actually get it today after you mentioned that because it just i do i love fish and it's hard to get fish and i've actually never had a bad meal or felt bad after eating long john

silvers no diarrhea for me enjoy your night sweats and tinkle butt for the next two days that's complicated though because our points i gave points to bob for his like you know it if you think about fast food fish it is a little scary but like i've never had a problem with it and i really genuinely enjoy it so i have to almost wash on the points even though like man i i have to agree with mark on i'd put it high up because i love it and it's it's hard to get how you gonna agree with mark and not give him points um that seems savage i'm not trying to give him points? That seems savage. I'm not trying to give him a win, but that just seems pretty savage. That is pretty rough. Maybe the tiebreaker will be Sonic.

They've got great drinks. They've got like burgers, chicken, kind of similar to DQ in the menu, I would imagine. But I think they have more drink options. Try similar ice cream options. Sonic is tough. Sonic is tough. Sonic has everything. Corn dog. Burger. Nuggets. French fries. Tater tots. they buy similar ice cream options sonic is tough sonic is tough sonic has everything corn dog

burger nuggets french fries tater tots drinks of like hundreds of varieties because you can mix things together if you have a mood for a specific thing sonic probably serves it like a fast food thing they probably serve it and it's probably fine which makes me want to say it's b because it's like it's above the standard average burger chicken sandwich joint in options even if it's at the same quality level i'd say b okay mark where would you put it i've had bad experiences with it but also i can't rate it too lowly because amy really loves sonic so i would say c it's okay i like the quirkiness of delivering on rollerblades but whatever i had it between b

and c because i also feel like with the options and the drinks and stuff it's like a tier having the options is high but like it's also to me like i don't ever crave the food from sonic there's never been one day where i'm like man i want a sonic burger it's kind of like i want a sonic drink and i'm hungry so i'll get some food to go with it, which lowers it to me. So I've got it right in between. Uh, damn it. Okay. Uh, another tiebreaker because I can't, I can't really pick because I'm right between you two.

Oh, you weenie. This is not how tiebreakers work. I'm sorry. I can't pick that because it's perfectly between. All right. All right. Uh, what's a place we haven't done that everyone's probably had has everyone had wienerschnitzel no no oh okay i cannot rate that one because i would never have

had it it's a hot dog drive-thru place it's really good okay i got i got one i got one this is probably devices la roses so that's so for everyone out there listening the roses is a cincinnati pizza chain it's basically like a papa john's or a Domino's or whatever, but it's specifically in Cincinnati. I think they've expanded outward a little bit. It's like pizza, pasta. They've got wings. You know, the normal like Pizza Hut, Papa John's, Domino's kind of food. I will go first if you guys want.

Have at it. F. There is not one thing that I have gotten from LaRoses that I like, and maybe this is indication of my bias again, because everyone, for instance, is like, hey, LaRoses. I feel like they have to say that with a gritted smile. They're like, yeah, Cincinnati, we're proud of this. It's awful. Every part of it is awful. I go, I've gone in the restaurant, I've had it delivered. It's just bad across the board. Every time there's been a party with our friends and they're like, let's get the roses. I die a little inside because I'm just like, God, I have to tough

through another rubbery, like where it's just this weird sheet of plastic cheese on top. Like anything else, like side salads, breadsticks doesn't matter. It's all the same. I believe they 3d printed it out of the same plastic that they use for everything it's terrible okay bob where would you put it oh i forgot what you thought about this and i thought we weren't gonna agree on one um listen i i have a different rant okay i have never chosen to go to la rosa's because I've only ever had it in the context of like, oh yeah, it's a, we're having the meeting, you know, we're having the student council meeting. So we're going to order pizza and you guys will come and talk about student issues and have some

La Rosa's. Okay. I've only ever had in that context where like someone bought it for a group. I'm part of the group. So I ate some of it it that's not a very fair shake but it's always been fucking disgusting and it's it's exactly like you're describing mark it's like the crust is like chewy in the wrong way yeah the cheese is slander you're both wrong no points it's good this is at least a b tier it's a no it's not other pizza places. No, it's not. The roses, like their pepperoni, the square cuts, it's so good. No. Oh, no. You get left with that one middle, all cheese, all plastic cheese.

Oh, my God, dude. A pepperoni bacon, like half pepperoni, half pepperoni bacon is so, I could eat it right now. Yeah, you get the five pepperonis on the whole pizza. You got to divvy it up. No points. You're both wrong. It's B tier. Oh, my up no points you're both wrong it's b tier oh my god if you're in cincinnati try it for yourselves don't don't go to dewey's for the love of god get some good big boy fresh is big boy that other than like fresh is that aren't the cincinnati one

but cincinnati's fresh is big boy have you have you had big boy mark i have many many times they've got the if you go in they've got like the soup and salad bar they've got like the fruit and all that they've got fish on the menu burgers chicken they've got a pretty wide variety uh they got like soups like vegetable soup that kind of thing i think they've got breakfast that they'll do so they do like a variety of stuff like that it is fast food like you can go through the drive-thru it's kind of more along the lines of a denny's i'm explaining for everyone else out there um you like typically you want to go and sit down and stuff for the full experience, but you can get it to go fast food.

For me, Big Boy, A tier. Big nostalgia for me, the soup and salad bar, super fun. Big Boy always had a specific architectural design where there's a lot of windows and a sort of atrium on the front of it. And if you sit in that, there's windows all around you, and it's really fun. I forget what it's called. There's like a ham sandwich that's like a big boy thing i don't know if it's moon over miami or something it's like a it's like a funny name ham sandwich it's my uncle mike's favorite he always gets it and so that's like a connection for me very good the chocolate lava cake is like one of mandy's favorite things It's very nostalgic. Yeah. There's just, if I went there now,

like it's like a never meet your hero situation. I don't think it would stand up to what I remember, but I love it. All the memories and this and everything. Okay. A tier for me. Love it. I was going to say the exact same thing.

And I literally was going, cause I agree. It's a tier because my dad took me to Frisch's all the time. And we would just like grandparents took me to Frisch's all the time. And we would just like. My grandparents took me there too. Tear apart that salad bar, the soup, the vegetable soup. I would get bowl after bowl. They have fish.

They have fish dinners and stuff that's good. Yeah. And just like the warmness of the feel in there. Because we would always go at night and it'd be dark outside. And all the warm lighting before all these LED bulbs are there. You know. It really felt this nice comforting feel. And all the warm lighting before all these LED bulbs are there. You know, it really felt this nice, comforting feel. And all the people, and the pie counter, the pie thing.

Oh, pumpkin pie. Like, that's where I really fell in love with pumpkin pie. I unironically think, I don't think it's S tier special, but for memory's sake, and like the food that I enjoyed at the time, A tier easily. Oh, God. All right. Well, it's a wash.'ll move on i guess the world the longest episode of distractible continues everyone you agreeing bitch um what's another good one what a burger let's go with what a burger i think we've

all had that yes yeah this is a texas local chain i think it's spread out um my turn to go first i would say it's probably d for me because the burger's okay. Fries are okay. It's not really that great. And honestly, it was kind of like, oh, what a burger. This is like the local place. Service was bad. I had a bad time.

D. Okay. Okay. Well, I thought we were going to agree on this one for sure. I would put Whataburger at a solid solid b i like the variation in their menu they have a lot of things where it's like burgers with toppings and chicken things of different kind they have good sauces i had a good array of sauces i've only had it a handful of times but i tried different stuff every time i liked it and i thought the burgers were nice i thought they were good quality

fast food burgers and i thought they have more interesting choices than like the standard regular sort of burger fast food place so i think i would put them a cut above i would put it at a b so you're a b marks a d you'd put it the same ranking as wendy's really when he's as a oh when he's as a when he's five guys is b right i would put it below five guys guys kfc sonic arby's and rallies are b along with i put freddy's and la rose's at b well that one's wrong but i would put it below most of those other b's but in the b area so low b mark has it at a d i had it at a c which is a goddamn wash you have to pick one pick one pick one if i have to pick i gotta go with mark here then because well man the options i've had some bad experiences

at whataburger but i've only been there a handful of times their food is good it's not fast don't you remember walking a whataburger at pack south in a big group and we had a fun time yes and they never brought dana her food three times i went up and was like hey my friend hasn't gotten her food and they still never brought she never got it but that didn't affect you so you're saying it's a d it was a c to low c for me which is closer to d so yes i guess i would have to go with mark here the food quality was fine but it was slow and the service was the fact that i had to go three times them on their service during a convention rush i see how it is that's also i

guess true man that's true damn it do you want to do another one i don't know what's culvers what culvers go with culvers bob you first what's culvers all right culvers you ever had culvers you had okay if you've never had it we can't do it it's a it's a burger place burger and fry place that has like ice cream probably along the lines of like a steak and shaker freddy's i unfortunately i have not had gulvers it's good they have good ice cream they have good roast beef sandwich if you like if you want a roast beef sandwich it's not like arby's at all it's tasty uh jack in the box i have a story okay we're gonna have a two-hour episode of Distractable. It's fine.

I like Jack in the Box. Okay. And the food is good and the curly fries are good. And they have some really, their Munchies menu that they have now is really fun and has some cool stuff on it. One time, my family was in town. And so we had a huge group all together. And so we were making a Jack in the Box order because it was like people wanted curly fries and whatever. So we put this order together. And my brother and I over to like put the order in and pick it up this is stunningly similar to your story from earlier mark yeah

oh no some kind of shit was going on my brother and i walked in and we put the order in and it seemed fine and then we just went and like sat and waited it was a big order so we're gonna wait for a minute and at some point while they should have been making our food, shouting starts emanating from the back of the kitchen area. And it's like a fight. And we're like, oh, oh, shit. Okay, damn. Let's get our food and get out of here.

They're shouting. They're shouting. At some point, it gets a little louder. At some point, someone comes up to the front where all the customers are and is shouting back at the kitchen. And then you hear from the kitchen. And like back and forth and back and forth and it escalates until everyone all the employees are out in front by the registers and all the customers are like what the fuck is happening holy shit what was happening we learned is the one manager was shouting at all or some of

the employees and the employees weren't having it and at some point one of the employees weren't having it. And at some point, one of the employees who made themselves the leader was like, That's it! We're leaving! And all the employees left, except for the manager. Oh my god. And this is like at dinner time, at a totally normal time. This is not in the middle of the night or anything. And so the manager is standing there in front of all the, like maybe half a dozen, eight customers. I mean, not a a lot but enough where she turned around and was like um i'm gonna try and make your food now uh but it might be a little

bit it's just me i guess and she like sadly went back into the kitchen it was super awkward like all the customers in the lobby we all were like making eye contact but kind of being like hey i said no pickles can you remake this starts crying our order of course was like this burger with no that sauce add this other sauce and the and nine curly fries and you know something this complex order she handed it to us and my brother and i were just like let's get the fuck out of here i don't care someone can eat ramen if it's messed up whatever but it took like an hour to get our food plus we saw the whole thing all that to say see i would just just quicker i got b because i love their curly fries it's like my third favorite fast food to go to it's like m McDonald's. Wendy's preferred, I think.

McDonald's and Wendy's kind of tied. If there's two in an area, I'd flip a coin. And then Jack in the Box would be next. So I would be. The combination of the story and agreeing with me. I'll go with Bob here. I had Jack in the Box just below In-N-Out. I like In-N-Out's burgers a bit more.

But the story along with it just sold me. So yeah, Bob, you get the final point. And now after only a 26- minute episode, we are very short. We'll edit this down a lot. No, we won't. It's gonna be a long one. Bob is our winner. There's still three rows of restaurants

that we have on here that we didn't even get to. This took a while. Let me read the final rating. So Bob's our winner. Our final ratings for everyone listening at home. We had Skyline Chili at an S, along with Long John Silver's, Fazoli's, Raising Cane's, and McDonald's.

At A tier, we had Gold Star Chili, Frisch's Big Boy, Wendy's, Penn Station, Jimmy John's, and Chipotle. At B tier, we had Five Guys, Kentucky Fried Chicken, I Had La Roses, which is correct, and no one was arguing on that one, Freddy's Frozen Custard and Steakburgers, Sonic, Arby's, Checkers, orRose's, which is correct. And no one was arguing on that one. Freddy's, Frozen Custard and Steakburgers.

Sonic, Arby's, Checkers or Rally's. They're both the same restaurant. And Culver's, I went ahead and just tossed it B because I feel like that's probably about where I would put it whenever I thought we were going to be rating it. We didn't really argue Culver's. So you can say that that's got an asterisk by it. At C tier, do we have any that weren't on the list here?

No. So we had Steak and Shake, Panda Express, Denny's, Burger King, king chick-fil-a i don't think these are in any particular order either in the tiers themselves we didn't really debate that heavily on that part but steak shake panda express denny's burger king chick-fil-a in and out jack in the box little caesar's pizza hut dominoes papa john's subway dairy queen and whataburger all of those are in c d tier we had ihop and popeyes f tier waffle house and white castle though white castle i think it was an a or an f depending on the before and after b to f moving yeah it was a b and then an f so white castle is probably more like i guess c but we it was a or f depending on

what part of the digestive process you're at taco bell was in a tier of its own t tier t tier c tier and i think that covers everything we rated i know we didn't get to a lot of things that you guys probably wanted us to i'm sorry we did our best we rated a lot in the time we had um but bob do you have a victory speech our winner you are wrong about larosa's as the winner i feel like i have the authority to declare that victory speech and uh also long john silvers those are wrong as the the winner, I veto those. Both of those are denigrated to F tier because you put them in the wrong place and they are

messed up. That's wrong. That's incorrect. You know, it's also funny because I'm in the losers bin. The little bullpen for losers. And hey, LaRose's is here. It's just such a loser. It's down here with me. It's crazy. Where it belongs. But no, Long John Silver's is not in this box. So it's crazy. I think it's over with you. It must be in the trash. No, it's down here with me it's crazy where it belongs but no long john silvers is not in this box so it's crazy i think it's over it must be in the trash no it's over in your box i

see it do you smell it smell deep yeah no baha fish tacos i gotta say i thought this was really coincidental that as you were talking about long john's an ad popped up the first ad the entire time we've been doing this on the tier list page popped up and was ringing in my ears and i thought it was one of like your marks having like a surprise segment thing because it was actually about fish and i was blown away and i was going to award bonus points but it was just an ad so no bonus points long johns isn't an s or an a it's so good and it's so rare to get good fish the same with fresh is the only place i can get fish are fresh as in long johns from fast food type places why don't you just eat good food okay all right you made that guy the winner wait you made that guy

we had like eight washes in a row mark what's your loser speech uh you're wrong about the roses glad you both agree on that but i was the host and i get to decide the roses sucks roses is good i don't understand people don't like the roses i don't get it it must just be something about everyone likes the roses what do you mean you don't understand people not liking the roses everyone but me and mark likes it and it's stupid i'm pretty sure there's other people that don't too does tyler like the roses or does he hate it i know he's strong opinion about it but i don't remember which way he leans i'm sure he'd either kill you because he loves it or hates it but i have no idea he'd kill you either way yeah no if people love it or they hate it. I rarely find people

that were just like, LaRose's is okay. It's either people really like it or really don't. Because the people that like it never shut up about it. They always order it and I don't want it.
