I miss Fuddruckers and doubt anything will ever fill that hole in my heart.

Chipotle
The chipotle/Qdoba near me has gone way too downhill in the past few years for me. The burritos used to be huge, now they’re the size of a small potato. Also 50% of the time they mess up my order and I don’t realize until I get home and open it up.
It would probably be Cane’s, because I eat there a fair amount and it’s like B-tier fried chicken for an okay price. If we wanna go international, then it’s Kyochon. It’s a Korean Fried Chicken chain with 1 location in America and a bunch in Korea
Second would either be McDonalds or Dairy Queen for their McFlurry/blizzard or their super artificial ice cream. Honestly, I know there is better ice cream, but I have an Anton Ego flashback (from Ratatouille) whenever I take a bite/lick of ice cream and am reminded of the trips I took with my mom when we walked over to Dairy Queen together
I go to canes for their toast but their chicken is also very good. Honestly I like thier chicken more than any other place other than Chick-fil-A.
Cane’s! Maybe it’s just nostalgia for me, but in College (OSU) went to Cane’s far too often on High Street.
The chicken is way better than other fast food places, fries are a carrier for the sauce and the toast is pretty good.
The McDonalds near me hasn’t had ice cream in a year. I reported them to corporate and they had ice cream again for like two weeks until they claimed their machine was broke again
BD’s Mongolian BBQ. I’m not even sure they are around anymore though.
There’s still some around, but not nearly as many as there were. The one local to me closed and the nearest remaining one is like 20 miles away.
There’s one near me. All the others are on the opposite side of Detroit from me. (1hr+ drive away.)
I fucking love them too. Real life mini-game of how much shit can I stuff and pile into a bowl.
I think there’s one in Sterling Heights on M-59 still.
That’s the one near me.
I miss Quiznos.
I don’t know if they are completely out of business, but they sure as shit don’t operate anywhere within 100 miles of where I live anymore.
Their ribeye steakhouse sub was the best fucking thing ever.
Literally the only chain I would recommend. Everything else I love is mom&pop local dives and taco trucks.
Din Tai Fung and Kizuki Ramen are my top chains.
I always catch myself about to abbreviate it DTF, and then I type out the entire name.
Chain?
I mean, sure the top restaurants on my list aren’t chains, but if we’re gonna restrict it, I’ll say Macdonald’s. It saved my ass at 2am once while traveling, that’s worth a lot.
Nothing quite like that magical moment where you’ve been walking lost and confused for an hour around a foreign city and your last 4 attempts to find a place to eat have failed, and you say “ugh all right fine” and look for the nearest MacDonald’s.
McD is just there for you when you need it, and you know what to expect. I end up there way more than I should due to my work taking me on the roads, after a while you learn to game the menu a bit and order just enough that you’ve eaten, without indulging.
In my country the other options when on the road are gas stations which aren’t more nutritive nor cheaper, or snack-bars with deep fried stuff.
The best is if I can hit it before 11am then I can get the breakfast things which are a good portion and cheaper than the lunch options.
Ezell’s Chicken, but only in Seattle and Beaverton, OR.
There’s one in Tacoma as well, it’s pretty good!
That 3.8 rating had me a bit worried to try them.
El pollo loco
Jason’s Deli has yet to disappoint me. It is not high-end cuisine, but they serve good food with consistent quality. They also have enough variety that almost anyone can find something.
Tbh, the only chain I eat at is a local chain that would tell anyone that recognizes the name more or less where I live. They make really good burgers
Jones’ barbeque and foot massage?
They made a funny joke about them in the movie Idiocracy, they thought they’d be around forever; Evolution of Fuddruckers
They’re still around aren’t they? What am I missing?
I think they closed many of their locations, so for some people it gives the illusion they do not exist.
There is still one where I am. It’s on the edge of an outdoor mall near a movie theater. Placement wise it’s probably about as good as you can get.
Cracker barrel is consistently good. And it’s different than a burger or pizza.
Dunkin. I don’t really like many chain restaurants. I prefer local places. But Dunkin is pretty consistent with their coffee.
Jensen’s Bøfhus
Ellers tak.
Hvad er din foretrukne da?
Generalt synes jeg at bøfhuse i Danmark er bare okay.
tja, jeg fik en BBQ grisefilet her den anden dag. Den var godt nok god. Vil være ærlig at sige at jeg ikke prøver så meget forskelligt heller
Det er ikke bøf! :)
Mit go-to er en ribeye. I min erfaring her i danmark er det typisk alt for tynd.
Ribeye er heller ikke dårligt! Jeg elsker mine bøffer, men kan godt lide at veksle det lidt med andet (i dette tilfælde, grisefilet, det var bare specifikt på jensens bøfhus😅)
Elevation Burger - moved away and haven’t had it in years. Great burgers, the best fries.
