I gave up Carl's Jr. about 30 years ago after my third food poisoning. First, time I figured it was a fluke. Second time, I figured I just wouldn't go to that Carl's Jr. any more. Third time, from a different Carl's Jr...I'm out. Never again.

I actually gave up on meat altogether 11 months ago. Surprisingly easier than I thought (especially in this country and state). I thought I'd miss a cheeseburger the most, but not at all. Seafood is the tougher one.

I’m a flexitarian. I can go days without eating meat and I find just a little here and there, primarily salmon and chicken and bit of steak or bacon occasionally works fine for me.

So basically, you’re nothing.

In the past, I became a vegetarian and then a vegan. It took some time, but I got used to it. When I was only a vegetarian, eating cheese allowed me not to miss meat so much. When I became a vegan, peanut butter and whole grain breads really satisfied me.

Now, I not a vegetarian or a vegan.

A good percentage of the vegetarian stuff is vegan these days because the market share is greater when you combine those two. So a pretty good chunk of the time I'm eating vegan. But I would definitely miss cheese and dairy, in general.

Interesting how people end up getting food poisoning I guess every person’s
Body system works different, I have been eating Carl’s Jr. and Chipotle for years and not once have I had some sort of food poisoning or had a vomit problem, it’s good to be me I guess.

Vegetarianism is a solid ethical and health choice. Veganism is when you take that and say, how can we make this as pretentious and culty as possible?

How about the moral and religious choices?

If God didn't want man to eat fish and animals, he wouldn't have made them so tasty and easy to kill, right?

I don’t get into too many debates about the hypothetical rules of made up deities, but I don’t think meat is strictly unethical.

i rarely touch any of their food but Im a regular at BK when Im trying get fast food for my kids... they have the best value deals by far... $1 8 piece nuggets, $1.50 10 chicken fries, constant $1 large fry digital coupons, etc

for myself I can count on one hand the times I have eaten a burger at any of those places combined for the last year. I try to limit my burger intake to about 1 every 2 weeks so Im not going to waste that on some weak fast food spot. I do eat Carl Jr's hand breaded tenders from time to time though.
but anyway:
Carls
Wendys
Jack



BK

I went out with a vegan and I pretended for the first few weeks that I was a vegetarian. She was a smokeshow and it still wasn't worth it. Between having veganism define her entire existence, and flirting often with "woke" ideas and conspiracy type (bleep) I couldn't handle it. It was exhausting.

Why is Cheesecake Factory on the same list as the rest of these places? So much better.

Personally, I think Cheesecake Factory is overpriced, bad tasting to average food. Often accompanied by bad service.
I was just adding them because they are a national chain in alot of states like the rest.

Cheesecake factory has disappointed me lately but they are clearly a tier above the more basic casual restaurants

The prices on their menu agree. I'll give you that.
Are there any other national restaurants you would compare to them?

Burger king has some splainin to do. How can they afford this? Are they still using real meat?
I swear I've seen some commercials for their deals while watching NBA games and I just don't understand how they can afford it.

I don't like their commercials. Making an older, overweight person the focal point is a mistake. Wendy's did this with Dave Thomas, which magnified the image problem when Thomas began to develop serious health problems.

I ordered a bunch of those cheap Burger King nuggets via the Burger King app because my nephew wanted to try it. You get 10 for $1.80. I don't know if it was the time it took them to deliver it (about 25 minutes), but they came cold and hard as a rock. Just awful. McNuggets are much better. The fries were okay.

Wendy’s is the only one I eat at anymore because I can get a baked potato and a small chili. Pretty much all I order from there at the rare times I eat there, maybe once or twice a month when pressed for time. Otherwise I haven’t eaten at any of the other places in years.

On the opposite side, there were those Carl’s Jr. commercials with Kate Upton, Paris Hilton, a Kartrashian, and Padma Lakshmi (among others) that had quite a controversial run from 2005-2017.
