TOD: I don't eat much fast food. I haven't for quite a while. Now it's stupid expensive.

Favorite:
Jack in the Box: Ultimate Cheeseburger. I have about two per year.
In and Out: Usually in Indio when I'm driving to California for a conference.
Taco Bell: A box of assorted things when I feel like eating trash.

After a blood donation, my DH usually picks up some Arby's for the iron.

I stalled at 4.4 pounds since the beginning of Lent. Nothing more for the last couple of days. I'm sure you all want to know that.

I suspect y'all know by now that I can't answer a TOD like that by naming two or three things.

Will post later when I have a decent list compiled.

Also need to see if anyone else jogs my memory on anything I haven't thought of.

At least that was the old me. I am now down to 165.

Congratulations!

TOD:

I don't know what my "favorite" fast food jernts may be, but I have had occasion to crave Taco Bell for nachos grande and taco supremes. I enjoy Big Macs and hot apple pies from Mickey D's on occasion.

I think my favorite may be Burger King...at least, a good Burger King. Love the Whopper and love the fries. We had one in Edgedfield when I first moved back here, but it was very poor. I went once and got a whopper that seemed compressed and reheated. Days old, probably. I later learned the manager was a pothead and couldn't keep help unless they were also potheads.

It is now a Church's franchise. I hear it's good, but I have fried chicken places much nearer than that location.

Too bad about that Burger King location. When Burger King is good, it can be very satisfying.

I'm having trouble viewing the clips BK linked, but trying to figure that out.

I do like an Arby’s original roast beef with Arby’s sauce

vixmom · « **Reply #41 on:** February 24, 2024, 08:06:41 AM »

Also Taco Bell burrito supreme and taco supreme, both minus tomatoes, with extra sour cream

vixmom · « **Reply #42 on:** February 24, 2024, 08:11:58 AM »

I rarely have either

I hadn’t had McDonald’s in years but about a month ago I was on the way somewhere and was hungry and drove through one

vixmom · « **Reply #44 on:** February 24, 2024, 08:14:10 AM »

They had a triple cheese burger which was quite nice with extra pickles

vixmom · « **Reply #45 on:** February 24, 2024, 08:14:24 AM »

But the fries were so salty I couldn’t eat them

vixmom · « **Reply #46 on:** February 24, 2024, 08:14:48 AM »

But I’ve not been back since

I drove through a McDonald's a couple years ago and got an egg biscuit, hash brown, and coffee. I was appalled that it cost $10.

Maybe I’ll wordle

Laura · « **Reply #49 on:** February 24, 2024, 08:16:01 AM »

Jack in the Box usually has some kind of a meal special for about $6. They change the specials often. Can't beat that price.

The prices are absurd, I agree

I have not seen a Jack in the Box around here for decades

Back in the 7o’s we had some but they all disappeared after some sort of food poisoning scandal

This is crazy but I was just thinking of Peter Tomarken this morning, how he died in a plane crash. Don’t know why that was in my head.

An hour later he’s in a clip posted by BK!

I'm very sleepy at the moment. At noon I have my first session since the meetup with my arranging student. I look forward to it. Then, at 3:30, I'm being interviewd for the NY Times Arts & Leisure section.

I did get a big chunk of tax work accomplished today.
