Choose my next meal for me.

[MetalJunkie]

Here's my dilemma: I am both very hungry and very lazy, and I can't make a decision. My fridge and cabinets are super bare because I haven't been grocery shopping, which means I have the options listed above. It's my day off, so most people would use that time to be productive, but not me! I want to spend as much time as possible in my nice cool house without getting out and dealing with people. I feel like neither grocery shopping nor cooking.

(There is not a 100% guarantee I will pick the option with the most amount of votes)

I listed the two pizza places nearby that deliver, as well as other nearby food options. I did, however, include the Dollar General Store because of how super close it is and how low the foot traffic is at that place. If I do buy from there it will likely be something microwaveable. So choose! I will also follow up with pictures of my meal.

[El Barto]

Of the limited options I'd probably go with Pizza Hut, but that's about the same as an endorsement for Clinton/Trump. And if those really are the only places to score food in your neck of the woods, I'd move.

[MetalJunkie]

Those are the only places inside of 2 miles. If I expand the scope to 6 or 7 it's an entirely new ballgame, but I hate going into town. Because people.

[Kotowboy]

Last time I went to Pizza Hut it was pure grease and ZERO flavour.


Avoid.

I'm thinkin' Arby's.

*David Puddy voice* Feels like an Arby's night.

I'm not familiar with Mazzio's, but if it's not any better than Pizza Hut, I'd probably just go with Wendy's.

Mazzio's is much better than Pizza Hut.

[Kotowboy]

(-_-) Yeah I painted my face.

But Why ?

(-_-) Support the team.

[El Barto]

Never heard of Mazzio's, either, but the website suggests it's mainly a buffet. I try to avoid pizza buffets.

They only run a buffet during lunch hours, and all day on Tuesday. Damn, I wish it was Tuesday. Their pizza is actually really good. Sauce and spices are on point. Their calzone rings may be the best thing I've ever had.



Edit: In fact, I may have just talked myself into one.

Wendy's. Second highest burger fast food for me, topped by In-n-Out.

Whataburger is my favorite but it's further away than I feel like driving.

Chipotle

[TempusVox]

Hydration is extremely important. Due to the drink options available to choose from that you can have with your dinner, I chose Sonic.

[MetalJunkie]

I had a derp moment. Wendy's is out... I was thinking there was a closer one.

Yes. I had a Kebab Wrap** and fries takeaway (takeout) last night. Needed several large glasses of lemonade afterwards and a large mug of tea

They're delicious but salty af 










** Shawarma.

Whataburger is certainly tops in the fast food burgers. Never understood people's devotion to INO. I gave them two chances and both times thought it was awful.

The hydration doesn't help much if the food is inedible. They might be rock-bottom in my fast-food burger hierarchy, and that includes McD's. They can't even make decent fries. Also, their "fresh" limeades come out of a dispenser.

Sadly, we don't have kebab/gyro/shawarma/doner places on every corner like y'all do. Thankfully we do have taco stands all hell over the place, and good al pastor is a pretty fine alternative.

[black_biff_stadler]

Pizza Hut has my favorite crust ever and those cherry peppers they have taste like a combo of sundried tomatoes and roasted red bell peppers.

[Skeever]

Holy shit, with that kind of selection you'd better start grocery shopping again or you gonna die

[Anguyen92]

I actually find grocery shopping to be delightful, especially if you keep track of what's for sale at your local grocery store.  The one nearby me, Smart & Final, always sends out weekly flyers on what's on sale and I take advantage of those most of the time.  Able to to get Honey Bunches of Oats cereal (14.5 oz boxes) for $1.79 a box.  Milk goes for at around $2.30 a gallon.  Able to get packaged deli meat for $3.50, 16 slices of cheese for $3.00, and whole-wheat bread for $2.  I also caved got hot dogs (there were like 24 wieners) at around $4 and buns cheaper than that.

Now, I don't know too much about what the standards and leading brands regarding those kinds of items, but I feel like I got the good end of things, and I don't feel too crummy compared to when I spend that sort of money on fast food.

[Train of Naught]

I could never imagine having dinner at a fast food restaurant, is this actually a thing people do? It's expensive and not even that great, and most of all it's not even "fast" because it's way more time-efficient to go grocery shopping.

Or maybe I've missed something. Actually don't even know half these names. "Wendy's" sounds pretty healthy but I wouldn't know for sure, I just assumed these were all fast food.

[Anguyen92]

^^ Well, in the states, Fast Food is basically this.  Drive to the drive-thru.  Order stuff with the speaker (usually, a burger, fries and drink.  This is typically around $5, depending on how they price their meals) and then you drive to the next window, you pay, and you get the food in about 1-2 minutes and you are on your way home.  This typically takes around 10 minutes depending on the line.  I had Wendy's before.  Misread the coupons thinking I was going to get two chicken sandwiches, fries, and drink at around $6.  Ended up getting a 3rd one and the whole meal costed around $11.  My stomach was not happy that day.  It was all right.

Ordering pizza though takes a lot longer.  You got to figure out the toppings and stuff, and they got to make the pizza and then heat it (which typically takes around 20 minutes or so), then they got to drive it to your house or if you are there, you get it and you carry it home yourself.

In hindsight, getting food from grocery shopping feels more satisfying in the long run.

[Kotowboy]

Never go grocery shopping on an empty stomach. You'll only buy snacks.

I usually cave and get mainly Poptarts and Hot Pockets and frozen dinner meals if I feel really hungry.

[splent]

I'm not a fan of those. I'd say the local pizza chain or sonic.

[Nekov]

I chose Sonic. Never heard of the place but thinking of you eating a hedgehog is amuzing

[cramx3]

Went with Arbys because I haven't had that in awhile and it's always delish.  I can't vouch for your local pizza and while pizza hut is pretty solid for what I consider "fast food pizza" I think I'd still choose Arbys.

[black_biff_stadler]

I eat Arby's often cuz my only other nearby fast food is Subway (bland as fuck and horrifically overpriced for how hungry it leaves you), McDonalds (no explanation necessary), Taco Bell (explaining would insult anyone's intelligence), and Jimmy Johns (probably the least gross of all involved since it's noticeably less processed but $10 is way too much for fast food.)

[cramx3]

Taco Bell is easily my favorite of the fast foods.

[Sir GuitarCozmo]

People love to rag on Taco Bell, but I love the hell out of it also.  I would eat there as much as my paycheck could handle.

So MJ, where did you end up going?

[axeman90210]

I know they're not national yet, but Shake Shack probably has my favorite fast food burger.

[Phoenix87x]

LOVE taco bell 

[pogoowner]

LOVE taco bell 

Yeah, they're one of my top tier fast foods as well. Chick-fil-A beats them on quality, but Taco Bell is dirt cheap, and despite people constantly making jokes about it, I don't feel nearly as gross afterward as I do with most other places.

I actually don't either.  I really don't get the shits from it or anything.  I wonder if thats just because ive eaten enough of it that my body has adjusted.  There isnt a single bad thing on the menu.  Chick fil A is definitely quality though, love it.

[El Barto]

Down here Taco Bell competes with Taco Bueno, and the latter really kicks the shit out of them, IMO. I haven't stepped foot in a Taco Bell in 15 years. Also, Del Taco tried to gain a foothold in the Dallas taco market, and boy did they suck it up pretty hard. Thankfully Dallas is in the midst of a taco Renaissance. In my world, 3 or 4 different taquerias put them both out of business years ago.
