Holy shit, Jack in the Box ain't *that* good. Just wait a couple weeks to try it when the lines aren't so long.

Maybe the concept of being able to get shit food 24 hrs, 365 days a year is novel to Utah?

And I thought Chick-Fil-A lovers were crazy. Jeez

I like JitB's breakfast options, but nothing comes to mind from their lunch/dinner menu that made an impression on me.

I had Whataburger last weekend. Meh.

I made it a point to hit up Whataburger on one of my Florida trips, and this was pretty much my reaction too. Not bad, but expected much better given the price/hype.

CXF Family...RUN DON'T WALK to McDonalds to go those new limited edition Mumbo and Sweet & Spicy Sauces. Both are great but Mumbo is legit one of my favorite fast food sauces I've ever had.

I like their Ultimate Cheeseburgers, man.

I don't really care for Big Macs, but idk about Brioche Buns. Sounds like the Buns will still have sesame seeds on them as well.

IMO Wendy's is the best of the big three Fast Food Chains, and has left the other two in the dirt in recent years. I can't believe BK got rid of their Ch'King Sandwich, and they have the most obnoxious commercials with the singer deliberately singing out of tune. McDonald's is just tasting bland these days.

Guys, I had Whataburger for the first time this past week. Fries were nothing special (McDonald's quality which isn't a bad thing but didn't stand out) but the burger was a lot bigger than the standard fast food burger and was very tasty.

Oh and I also had In-N-Out that same week. Double double man...mmmm.

The inner child in me was super excited for this Wendy's Spongebob Krabby Patty collaboration, but based on pictures and reviews, it's just a Dave's Single with watery Thousand Island Dressing. They had a chance to do something interesting or creative with it and didn't. I'm not even going to try it.

American Fast Food companies have gotten so lazy. I see some of the items overseas and I'm so jealous.

I was at Panama City Beach over the last week, leaving yesterday. I stopped at Whataburger for breakfast on the way out. There is a Hardee's right next to it, which was packed, while there was no one at Whataburger at all. Odd to see for someone who doesn't have Whataburger at home.

Oh trust me, I know all about the awesomeness of Hardee's breakfast. It was just surprising to me with Whataburger so hyped and Hardee's being a fairly common option in my area. Maybe that's not the case down there?

There's one Whataburger in the area and it opened last summer. After a few weeks, the hype died off, because it's pretty meh. Hardee's franchises are more abundant here, more common than Wendy's but not quite at McDonald's/BK abundance, but they're busiest during breakfast hours.
