Day 32

Last night, MD was working a late night west coast Pistons/Kings game from Sacramento, while I was watching The Amazing Race. We got into a little email conversation about fast food. I know that fast food for the most part is god awful for you and literally does nothing but clog your up and make you gain weight, but man do I love it. Back in the old days, I loved it a lot more, but then reality set in about 5-6 years ago that I couldn't just eat burgers and fries every single day and not expect anything to happen to me. MD is still the king of fast food, since he is one of the lucky ones who can eat crap all the time and you can never tell the difference. That being said, I wanted to rank my alltime favorites in fast food in specific areas:

Top 5 Best Overall Fast Food:
1. In & Out Burger - If you haven't had it, you are missing out. They stay on the west coast so they don't dilute themselves. Their Burgers with grilled onions and special sauce are the whup. As are their milkshakes

2. Chik-Fil-A - All of my Ctown brethren rejoice as your favorite spot at Beachwood place ranks #2 on the list. Best chicken nuggets of all time. Top notch chicken sandwiches (Ags and I prefer Chik, no pick - as in no pickles) are the specialty. The Polynesian sauce is too good. Bonus points for keeping it real - closed on Sunday's because the owners are Mormon.

3. Arbys - Some may disagree and say this is a little high, but Arby's Roast Beef sandwiches have always been close to my heart. Nothing more I enjoy than a 5 regulars for $5 special. Most underappreciated chicken sandwiches in the business. Horsey Sauce - yessah!

4. Potbelly's - I had to go with one mildly healthy option on this list. Most cost effective sandwiches in the city. I've said this for years, you opne one of these franchises in the Cleveland suburbs, its a gold mind. $3.99 for a solid sandwich. Unbelievable Oatmeal/Chocolate chip cookies, and great shakes. Best sandy on the menu, the Wreck. Most underrated - the baked PB & J.

5. Wendy's - An old school favorite. Is there anything better than an ice cold Frosty after a meal? Good square-patty burgers and the best chicken sandwiches in the business. Near and dear to my heart for the Chagrin boulevard location which has stood the test of time. Only negative? Pepsi products.

Just Missed the Cut: Chipotle, Del Taco, Cosi, Subway

Top 5 Fast Food Sandwiches:
1. In & Out Burger Double Double with cheese
2. Wendy's Monterey Ranch Chicken Sandwich
3. Arby's Giant Roast Beef
4. Chic-Fil-A Chicken Sandwich with Polynesian sauce
5. Cosi - Wasabi Roast Beef

Top 5 Fast Food Fries
1. McDonalds - still the best after all these years
2. Arby's Curly Fries
3. In & Out Burger- well done
4. Fat Burger - steak fries
5. Chik-Fil-A - Waffle Fries
