QUESTION OF THE DAY

If you had to eat every meal for the rest of your life at one franchise restaurant, which restaurant would you choose? No snacking at other locations either. Everything you eat must come from this restaurant for the rest of your life.

Eat for free or must we pay? This will have great bearing on my answer.

Mine as well...

You must pay.

Fast food only?

barefootkangaroo said...

Any franchise restaurant will do.

What is this... twenty questions?

Pizza Hut Italian Bistro.

misserose said...

hmm. a franchise that has all the foods i like, not too expensive, that won't give me liver failure or anything.

i'd have to go with... panera.
soup. salad. sandwiches. bagles. lemonade. iced coffee. bread. fruit. brownies. what more do you need?

Denny's wins this one pretty tidily...

I'd have to go with Sonic--good variety (with lots of desserts) and low prices.

barefootkangaroo said...

I say McDonalds, and before you all collectively gasp and chastise me, I will remind you that there is hardly anywhere in the world you can go without finding one and they are pretty cheap. ...and no I haven't seen fast food nation, but I intend to.

Liana said...

This is difficult...a toss up between Panera, Mighty Taco, and Pizza Hut...

Chick-fil-A. Hands down. I love those cows!

If you like eating rat, worm, and possum, then McDonalds is a good choice.

barefootkangaroo said...

Hahaha! Apparently, I do, 'cause it is delicious!

Actually I eat there rarely, and then only because of the play area, which allows us to have a distraction free meal while Bowden plays. The food is definately suspect, but McDonalds are undeniably cheap and numerous.

I disagree. The food is far less suspect at your average McDonald's than it is at Denny's, for example. Ever seen the cooks in there? Plus you end up smelling like Denny's.

FFN is propaganda, pure and simple. McDonald's is a perfectly defensible choice and I honor you for it.

I'm not sure what kinda carnival you got going on at your Denny's in Syracuse but many Denny's hire reputable people.

And I'm thinking pure selection...

I don't know what Fast Food Nation is, but watch Supersize me. It's about a guy that just ate mcdonalds for a month. and if he had finished his project, he would have gone into liver failure.

mcdonalds is my favorite. i don't really mind cancerous cysts in my chicken as long as they're all ground up.
yum!

I don't understand why anyone would ever eat at McDonalds. For us in CA/AZ/NV, In-N-Out is far superior. For those in the Midwest and East, you have the greatest fast food joint of all time--White Castle. The south isn't as fortunate, but still has places like Wendys and Whataburger. McDonalds is useless

barefootkangaroo said...

In-N-Out! I don't know what to say about that. I think their fries taste funny and their burgers are average.

Your endorsement carries weight with me though and I have decided to give In-N-Out another chance. It has been a long time since my last mediocre encounter with that lackluster chain. I'll keep you posted.

barefootkangaroo said...

...and, simply put, Denny's is a leper colony.

Anonymous said...

The guy from Supersize Me made choices designed to produce the outcome that resulted.

The East doesn't have White Castle, that's strictly Midwest. I do prefer Wendy's, but it's not really that different from McDonald's. They get unnecessarily bad press. I'd love to try In-N-Out; I've heard great things about them.

Okay, WC has the Midwest and NYC. That's its own region.

Although we all may like to, don't forget about New Jersey :)

I can't believe I got 24 comments out of this question. I think that's a new record for me. Keep 'em coming.

alright, i'll bite. that "funny taste" you refer to, is potato. i love in-n-out, but it would not be my choice because they only have five things on the menu (unless you count the secret modifications menu with 'animal style' and whatnot). i'm with misserose on this one. i need fruit, bread and coffee- definitely coffee.

Rocket Surgeon, Phd said...

Denny's, leper colony or not, offers a shocking selection from soup to fish, to meatloaf, to pancakes to your burger if you must have it. They have every drink variety and desserts...

but ultimately it is incredibly cheap. I can take off my smarmy bandana for an hour or so and eat with the hard-working "lepers".

Could you? Can you defend their poor grammar but shun them for their hygiene?

Hmm?
Hmmmm?
Long-nosed Toowon.

Haha.

Kidding!

In-n-Out is amazing.

barefootkangaroo said...

Long nosed Toowon! Hahahahahaha! Outstanding reference!
