Wendy's is awesome though it has gone downhill in the past year. Stuff isn't as good anymore. Still, I'm sad to hear it was bought out like that.

Actually, when I think of it, I think Wendy's is on the brink of bankrupsy. I've noticed many of the resturaunts here have closed up. They aren't being taken over by anyone else, they are just plain abandoned.

And there are only a couple of Arby's in my city, and my city is pretty big. The resturaunt that seems to be doing real good is Taco Bell, along with the two big burger chains, Micky Dee's and The King.

Strangely enough, the only fast food chains I really see closing up stores around here are BK's. And one wound up re-opening anyway. But then again, up here, we only get the basics- Wendy's, McD's, BK, Taco bell, KFC, Subway- and a couple others in the Mall. In Massachusettes, we do not have any of these Sonic Burgers, In N Outs, or Jack In the Boxes. Heck, we finally got a Popeye's back a while ago... but I'm NEVER eating there again. We have a sub chain called DiAngello's, and a Pizza Chain called Papa Ginos. But that's basically it. If anything, More Wendy's are popping up around here.

Actually, we did have a brief run in with Long John Silver's for 3 months. Food was okay the first time, but got subsiquently worse every time I went. After about 4 trips, I gave up, and apparently everyone else did too. I guess you can't compete with the hundreds of other places that offer fresh cooked Fried Fish in the area.

Within 3 miles of me theres:
Pizza Hut (2 of em)
Taco Bell (which is a combo with one of the Pizza Huts)
Pizza Time
Blimpies
Subway
Wendy's
KFC/A&W
Church's Chicken (which is oddly right next door to KFC/A&W. Just opened a couple months ago.)
Little Caesar's (just got this last summer)
Papa Murphy's
Papa John's
Arby's
McDonald's
Burger King
Jack In the Box
Taco Del Mar (mmm...num! )
Quizno's
Long John Silver's
Panda Express
Garlic Jim's (a local pizza joint. Nummo! )
Herfy's Burgers (a recent aquisition from the East Coast.)
Popeye's

And then there's like 7 Terryaki places, a German Deli, regular ole family restauraunts, and a bunch of bars. *lol*

There's no In N Out, no Sonics (there's 2 in the entire state and they're both in Eastern Washington! ), and probably tons of other places I've never heard of.

I have a similar problem with KFC. I seem to get a upset stomach when I eat there.

With Wendy's I find they sometimes undercook their fries at the one near my office. That's why I opt for a side salad now. My Labatt lump (gut) thanks me.

I only eat the SCS! No burgers for me. And I wouldn't care if they were refried.

[愛]

SCS FTUW! I also get the Club sometimes. Depends if I wanna die faster or slower!

[Ninjinister]

Frisko Freeze ftw, guys. Other than them, fast food joints can go to hell.

[Buslady]

INO is primarily a West coast place, I think Gag in the Bag is too.
For back east, I liked Steak & Shake....I wasn't dissapointed with them.

Were cutting out fast food now, we decided we're pretty much addicted to life and wanna live.

[Sewer Bull]

I believe neither Wendy's nor Arby's are present in Europe... unless there are some restaurants somewhere in the UK.

Do we lose much?

There used to be Wendy's in the UK but the last one closed in January.

But Wendy's is found all over the world (except the UK and Australia).

Arby's however is a North American chain only. They're nummy and slightly better than Subway.

I have a humongous probroblemo with fast food fried Chicken. Chicken Nuggets and Strips I can handle... but there's just something in there my digestive juices don't like at all. But enough of that.

I will say this- When Boston Chicken (a once just local chain) was bought out by McDonald's, the quality sl-i-i-i-i-pped..... Haven't eaten there in years, actually.

[Tinuvielsdreams]

Wendy's was actually my first after school job when I was 15, my best friend and I were so excited cause we could work shifts together. I mostly took money at the drive through but let me tell you on the sandwich line I made those darn burgers pretty...haha
I don't see them suffering around here too much, it's hard to even get in at lunch sometimes.
I like Wendy's I hope they don't change it too much, if I could still eat there after working there it must be okay

[Ninjinister]

Jack in the Box actually has always made me physically ill, but I'll eat at other fast food joints only if others I'm with are going.

Unless it's the aforementioned FF I'd go there anytime.

[Newton Gimmick]

Gay. Not that I hate Arbys, but Dave Thomas made Wendy's it's own thing. It's always been different and now they're gonna start shoving them together, just like Pepsi has done with KFC and Pizza Hut. And the quality will go down the crapper.

[Buslady]

yeah once a decent joint gets bought out and smooshed with the other half dozen fast food joints the quality goes down.

Speakin of chicken, the best chicken IMO is Chik-Fil-A but it's kinda $$. They use peanut oil & pressure cook, but some folks can't take the peanut oil...but they got the best nuggest cos its not chopped & formed but cut pieces of breast meat.

Church's likes to servce green chicken (hubby had it like that once, that was just plain bad)

Popeyes, i'm okay with, the nuggets are pretty decent.

[Type 97 Chi-ha]

Steak and Shake has good stuff. So does Arby's, though I much prefer their non-beef sandwiches. Wendy's was good until after Dave Thomas died, now they've gone way downhill. Burger King is the only fast food place I eat out at when I'm travelling though.

[RAM BAM]

Steak and Shake is awesome! So is Culver's!

[Hannah]

I don't think I've ever eaten anything but the baked potatoes at Wendy's. But those potatoes... they're f*cking delicous.
