Whenever you Americans start talking about food here at GAF, you usually go on by naming all these fast food places and similar, which I've never heard about (I live in Sweden BTW). And on top of that, there seem to be so many of them. So I was kind of curious...how many fast food chains and similar can you name within this thread? Begin!

Indeed. I want to watch two of my friends race to see who can finish a Crave Case first. But that means I have to step foot into that fucking hole. Oh god. It's so nasty. Well, the chicken sandwiches aren't horrible I guess, but they're not worth the havok they raise on my lower g.i. functions.

WTF? Bojangles rocks the shit out of KFC or any other fast-food chicken I've had.
I'll grant there are "bad" Bojangles though, so if you ran into a bad restaurant, then you might consider them sub-par. Bojangles is the shit though, I think you may have run into a bad franchise. I don't believe anyone could eat at several BJ's and come to the conclusion that they suck. If that's the case, something's wrong with your tastebuds. Church's I wholehartedly agree with though.
That may be right. The only Bojangles I ran into was the one on Parris Island when I returned there for training, though I passed many other Bojangles along the way. The one on the island was barely considered food IMO, but they made business since the customers were pretty much a captive audience and during lunch many other places would be full and you had to eat SOMETHING... I remember having a ton of grease leak out of everything, even the green beans. Why my vegetables needed grease, I'll never know, but I could barely taste anything of that meal because of the blunting power of the grease. Three bites and I could take no more. So until further experiences I've associated Bojangles with grease and the answer to the nation's oil crisis.
It was a lot of grease, btw.

There used to be a place in the town of Coats, NC (not kidding, look it up) called Scats. i was a kid when it was there, so i had no idea about "scat". i remember my uncle stopped in there to use the bathroom, and he came out smelling like rancid grease. Ironically or not, it's now a Hardee's.

Dude, I promise you, White Castle isn't "good." They steam their hamburgers on a bed of onions. So, basically, it's like this kinda mushy piece of 'meat' that tastes like onion, on this bun, where the bottom of it gets all damp from the moisture. Oh god, so gross. The chicken sandwiches are okay, I guess, but actually having to step foot into the restaurant (I've never been into a CLEAN White Castle) makes it not worth it. I mean, it's amusing to order a "sack of fries" but... :\ More Hardee's, less White Castle, please. I do want to try Sonic though. Any fastfood joint that serves limeade is alright in my book.
More:
-Taco John's (I think it's midwest only, but it's fuckin' great)
-Taco Time
-Qdoba
-Cousin's Subs
-Culver's
Yeah I'm buy Detroit, so I do figure that any White Castle I'd go to nearby would be a horror story waiting to happen. But there are so many different fast food chains, I just have to try them. I remember being pissed at a friend when we visited the US because he wanted to stop at a McDonalds while I saw a Rally's down the road...

They have a new spin-off called JBX.
Also, Hardees is the same thing as Carl's Jr.
Finally, I remember hearing about a Taco John manager being stuffed into a meat grinder and fed to customers in Denver before someone noticed the bloody hair and teeth stuck on things, including the order counter.

Little Caesar's (Kinda with hot 'n ready)
Hot 'n Now (Detroit area)
LakeEarth, do you live in Windsor? I'm on the other side of Detroit in Livonia, but my buds and I go there every few weeks, especially in summer to get smashed. God bless you Canadians and your 19 year old drinking age (I'm 20).

Huh, that's kinda gross. I bet I won't eat Taco John's for a little while.
Hardee's isn't exactly the same as Carl's Jr., menu-wise, but they're similar. Carl's bought out Hardee's many many years ago. It's been much better ever since, I do know that. I've never eaten at a Carl's so I can't be 100% positive it's the same food. But I gather that it is.
Crispy Curls are better'n you.
Quiznos is God. Their Dijon Chicken Sandwich is quite possibly the best thing ever after you hit that thing with the goodies in the pepper bar.
And it's not a greasy wad-of-shit-that's-bad-for-you, either.
(But major props to Chick-Fil-A, best chicken strips this side of Popeye's.)

Bojangles is truth and beauty, man. Their chicken is spicey, their dirty rice is amazing, and they have free sweet tea with their fried chicken combos. Bojangles also does a mean breakfast.
Mmmmmmm. Bojangles.
This is a friend-of-a-friend thing, so take it with a grain of salt, but I hear tell of a local scenster who has a tattoo on his ass of the Bojangles logo inside an outline of North Carolina. His goal is to eat at every Bojangles in the state, and apparently he's dropped trou to get free chicken. This is a person to be admired.
And, yes, Bojangles may well be a Southern thing. But it's such a good Southern thing...
Speaking of Southern things: Hardee's, Hardee's, Hardee's.
