I’ve never in my life had a McRib. I think that growing up on a hog farm and being somewhat of a pork bbq snob it has always offended me a little.

Third.  For the same reason I haven’t had a McD hamburger since I was about 7.  All the McRib talk here has to be a bit.

It's an east Texas chain, but the burger combo at Jucy's is excellent.

Truth.  They still have free beans, also?

Indeed, they do.  But only if you go inside.  See Brisket's post above about the drive-thru.

BOGO double cheeseburger &/or footlong chili cheese coney every Tuesday & Thursday through 12/23 at Sonic.

Fortunately my location is consistently solid, chick owner actually gives a shit.

I am team McRib, Arby’s gyro, Taco Bell enchirito, and JIB tacos.

I won't speak to others' food-snobbery, but I'd probably pick up any one of those on a road trip if those were my only quick options.  But food snobbery aside, in any medium sized city, there always is a quick-but-much-better option for BBQ sandwich, gyro, enchiladas, or WP-tacos.  That's not to say I don't have nostalgia for some of those food-orders (although as good as the enchirito might be, I don't recall ever ordering anything at T-Bell that required plastic ware).  Maybe it's because, for example, Taco Bell isn't dirt-cheap anymore, and I have about half-a-dozen very good taco joints withing a few minutes of most Taco Bells around here.  I am intrigued by that Arby's Gyro, but the last time I was in an Arby's was an overwhelmingly depressing experience.

Last time I tried that, I couldn't even get anyone to answer me on the intercom.  There is no worse drive-thru on the planet than Popeye's.

I've posted it elsewhere, but my co-worker went through the drive thru about 2 hours before closing one day at Popeye's and the worker on the mic pretended to be an automated message saying they were closed.

Well it’s $6 now but still

This reminded me of when my son worked at a Schlotzsky's while he was in high school.  He was a huge King of the Hill fan and could imitate nearly all of the voices very well.  When he worked the drive-through, he would use his Dale Gribble voice while the customer was at the menu board/order point, then his real voice when they pulled up to the window.  When someone would comment on the voice that took the order, he would shake his head and say, in his best Hank Hill voice, "That boy ain't right."  It got him laughs every time, and occasionally a tip.

Earlier this NFL season, they were running the 'Pizza! Pizza!' promo, two large 1-toppings for $10. Hadn't been in probably 15+ years, my closest location is in the hood. Ordered online old world pepperoni & seasoned beef, they called right away saying they were out of the pepp, changed to Italian sausage. I was fucking shocked at the quality of both, may have helped that I ordered at a weird time & was the only two pizzas going then. 

I decided to try the steak nuggets at Arby's today. Drive thru only @dcbc, I already am at high risk of seasonal depression as winter approaches, no need to set foot in there and guarantee it. I'm not sure what I expected but it's burnt ends without sauce. Not a bad little protein snack, 5 piece (they gave me 6) for $5.89.

When LC Is good, it’s GOOD.  When it’s an off night, at least it was only $6

Little Caesars is okay but you have to eat it within like an hour of getting it. As soon as any sort of reheating enters the equation it gets inedible in a hurry. I actually like the thin crust better and it's better leftover.

I like a good McRib.

Arby's gyro is solid but most stuff on their menu is good assuming the location is competent enough I guess. I have not gone in for the steak nuggets yet. 

I usually eat at taco bell maybe every 3 months but I've been a couple times in the last couple weeks I think. I'm a big fan of the cheesy double beef burrito they have on the "value" menu.

They used to have these "Market Fresh" sandwiches that were something you might expect to get at Panera (of that time period) or Corner Bakery.  Really solid.  So, of course, they discontinued them.

It was 100% brisket. Taste and smell were unmistakeable.

Same with their turkey 'gyro'. It was fucking great, especially with horsey. Haven't tried the regular though. 

My current favorite from Arby's is the chicken Cordon Bleu. 2-2 on that sandwich.

I just saw the news...it's back.

I honestly have a soft-spot in my heart for it.  Why?  Because for some reason, when I was maybe age 9-18, my old man and I would drive down to Galveston to fish early, and then on the way back to Houston around lunchtime, we'd be starving.  And we'd often stop at the McD's in Dickinson to grab....a McRib.  I still don't know why.  My dad was a food snob in a lot of ways.  But goddamn, he loved that damned sammich.  And I developed a taste for it too.  So, it tastes like "being really hungry after fishing all morning with my dad."  Which is good.

Possibly the most confusing sentence on surly considering the source

It's just an average gyro basically. Not that different than what you'd get from some chain Mediterranean spot. The one they throw roast beef on is a little more adventurous I guess.

There's nothing weird about it or off-putting.

I had the roast beef one awhile back on a promo or some shit, pretty average. Turkey shit rocked, maybe I should storm corporate. 

The one with actual gyro meat is better. 

The turkey one sounds like it would be good.

jimmy will chime in yet again to tell us how it was made 30 years ago, because nothing has changed since. He’s like brisket with repeating old stories.

Not tree fiddy, but close enough to make my doctor unhappy.  I reckon it would be quite a tussle!

Did I ever tell y'all about the weekend I had some Wendy's chili and got a hug from Susanna Hoffs?  Good times, good times.

Bell is definitely a guilty pleasure for me, and I'ma have to disagree on that one. You can get a supreme luxe box (chalupa supreme, beefy 5-layer burrito, taco, choice of chips & cheese or cinnamon twists, and a drink for $7. That's wild. And everything at Bell tastes the exact fucking same, so no need for anyone to say they don't order those particular items 😁
