Resurrecting this thread....
Interesting that the winner of the poll is "other," but with McDonald's and Five Guys being the two names that got the most votes.
Anyway...I have a new candidate: Dave's Hot Chicken.
There used to be a Macaroni Grill in a shopping center near my house, but it closed a few years ago, and they gutted the building to house three different fast food places that opened within the last month: Blaze Pizza, Habit Burger and Dave's Hot Chicken. I was familiar with Blaze and Habit, but I'd never heard of Dave's. Looks like it's a fairly new franchise, but it has about 3-4 dozen locations. About half to 2/3 seem to be in California and Texas, with the rest being strewn randomly throughout the country (and one in Toronto).
Very simple menu: two slider combo; two tenders combo; or a one slider/one tender combo. The combos come with fries, mac & cheese or kale slaw. Chicken comes with no spice or one of six spice levels (the hottest of which is "Reaper," and you have to sign a waiver to get it
).
It is SO FUCKING GOOD! And I'm not just saying that because my kid works at the new location. If there's one near you, do yourself a favor and give it a try.
