Starting point is 00:02:04 anyway and a lot more some traditional sit-down stuff too so let's do a top 50 fast food chains in America this is QSR magazine.com all right so here we go
Starting point is 00:02:27 go charts chicken sandwich burger pizza all right so number one it should surprise no one McDonald's come on it's class it's classic man
Starting point is 00:02:45 all right yeah no no arguments here number two is a Starbucks I don't know if I would call them fast food but here they are
Starting point is 00:03:03 this is fast food I was just at Starbucks the other day actually before all the bad weather starting or at the start of the bad weather or the start of the bad weather Oh, well, good.
Starting point is 00:03:26 Number three, Chick-fil-A, or as we call it around here, Jesus Chicken. Always closed on Sundays with a hint of fundamentalist Christianity to it. But people like it, so, you know, and I do get a lot of orders from these guys. number four Taco Bell or Taco Hell depending on you
Starting point is 00:03:52 I'm glad to see their refacing some of their older stuff menu-wise like Tustanas and mix melts lately
Starting point is 00:04:00 and the excellent pizza back on their menu and the this is a great thing about technology
Starting point is 00:04:11 to say the ability to customize food and when you order it's not get dirty looks at you so good
Starting point is 00:04:25 five is Wendy's Wendy's still good food but honestly Wendy's if you listen the customer service has taken a downturn in the recent years so please fix that Dunkin Donuts number six
Starting point is 00:04:40 all right no question no issue here Seven is Subway. I don't think they're going to be in this sense, but I prefer a good sense to Subway. But Subway, yeah, I can't argue with that. Number eight's Burger King. There are still a couple of Burger Kings left open around here. So I'm pleasantly surprised that they're still in business.
Starting point is 00:05:09 Nine is Domino's. I've had better pizza. And is Chipotle. And, of course, he got to quote South Park whenever we mentioned Chipotle, dude,
Starting point is 00:05:20 why the hell would you keep eating something that makes your crap blood? Thank you. Have you had to put it? Yeah. All right. Number 11 is
Starting point is 00:05:33 Panera bread or as my folks in San Luis will call it San Luis Bread Company. Absolutely no issue there. I freaking
Starting point is 00:05:44 like Panera Great Place to host informal meetings to Panera 12 pizza, this is my pizza of choice 13 Sonic It's okay
Starting point is 00:06:00 It's okay If you're going to get anything at Sonic It's got to be the Cheeseconies The Chili Cheese Dogs 14 Pannock
Starting point is 00:06:14 Express, pretty good stuff, if you like Chinese. 15, KFC, which I do think KFC is superior to 16, Popeyes. But I, Carl, this is my coming out on the subject. I only ordered Popeye's for the first time within the past year. and my way I like their I like their shrimp actually so
Starting point is 00:06:50 yeah 17 dairy queen can't go wrong with dairy queen right although I will say the ice cream is first superior to the rest of their food 18
Starting point is 00:07:08 Arby's oh yeah hell yeah Arbys because if and no, they don't have a fight for five anymore but that's okay because no, come on, they
Starting point is 00:07:20 do a pretty good job. 19 is a place I absolutely refuse to eat at and that is a jack in the box. I'm sorry, but people died eating their shit.
Starting point is 00:07:35 All right, so absolutely not. I will never, I will never touch jack in the box i won't even pick up orders from jack in the box if a jacking box order comes up and i'm doing dooredash uh now pass pass let someone else uh be uh the vehicle someone's potential demise uh 20 uh puppy johns um personally not a fan but um but you know we do do a business
Starting point is 00:08:09 with them with doordash so all right 21 little ceasers also not particularly a fan but they do a good job with um with a door dash and everything uh 22 what a burger uh yeah as uh you as you probably note that heard uh some dude named mahomes one a couple of super walls and this said uh let's take this and I am not kidding there are anyone outside Texas. It seems like you drive through Texas and every other exit it seems like
Starting point is 00:08:49 is a water burger. Well, now we got water burgers all over the KC area and they do a good job. They do a good job and that's that was my go-to place
Starting point is 00:09:05 to getting to doctor's appointments. Actually, my most recent doctor's appointment had to have blood drawn for labs, and they told me, I don't eat anything for the first few hours before going in. And after I had the blood drawn, I stopped by Wooderburne and just paid that. It was a pancake bladder with bacon. and uh oh and i had burger as well as i hungry uh 23 racing canes this is another one that i get a lot of door dash requests for and uh you actually have to with that one you have to go in and pay for it
Starting point is 00:09:56 on the red card which i do find a little bit annoying i prefer not to do these but that's just my opinion there if I absolutely have to I will but I prefer not to so 24 culvers I know we do have a couple of them here I have not
Starting point is 00:10:23 tried them myself 25 jersey mics another DoorDash favorites and not tried them myself 26 wing stop same thing people are on DoorDash I haven't tried them

Starting point is 00:11:14 had not tried five guys until after I'd become a door dasher and a decent food and they do the extra hit of fries so they put the fries in and then they dump fries in
Starting point is 00:11:30 the bag over everything so so I think that's pretty neat 30 is hearty I've not had Hardee's in quite a long time, and really really don't care to go back any time soon, especially since they're owned by a hard right-winger. 31 Bojangles did not exist around here, so I've never seen them.
Starting point is 00:12:02 32 is Carl's Jr., which is basically the same thing as Hardee's. 33 Dutch bros, we've been seeing them pop up around here lately. I have not stuts by. 34 Firehouse subs. Another DoorDash staple. And, yeah, the staff do a good job. I personally am not trying them. 35 In-N-Out Burger does not exist in the Kansas City area.
Starting point is 00:12:38 36 Tropical Smoothie Cafe, another Dordesh staple. And they do a good job. Again, I have not tried them myself. 37. El Pollo Loco. No is done here. 30 crumble cookies. Personally, I've never.
Starting point is 00:13:08 add them but they're another DoorDash stable and you walk in and oh it smells good it's good

Starting point is 00:14:30 especially mid pandemic times they were the go-to place it seems like as soon as I felt like every other order would have been McAllencers and their fruit's pretty distant too
Starting point is 00:14:46 45 checkers slash rallies we really don't have that right here and it reminds me of the strong bad when you introduce the Teen Girl Squad you're up you might be on for some rallies or checkers
