I eat a lot of Fast Food. My favorite is a Canadian burger chain called Triple O's. I get a Whopper every Weds because they are on sale. Love fast food.

 

[OldSchoolBoats]

Just hit Farmers Boys because the kid and I like to split a breakfast burrito before his practice. I THOUGHT I had a free breakfast burrito with our rewards but they changed the rewards and no longer offer the free burrito, so used a $5 off coupon.

Freaking burrito was still $8 and it's half the size it used to be.

Black Anus...

Used to eat at the location in Tucson once a year , and that was because I got a gift certificate as an award from the company I worked for.

Thats what i call it also.

All you old heads fuckin LOVE Tommy burger for no reason lol

 

[Ultra...Good]

The only favorite place I have is for breakfast. The only reason it's my favorite is that I bring girlfriends there when I am trying to get rid of them. They do put out a great spread.

I've tried to give Tommy burger a try 3 or 4 times. Everytime afterwards I remember it is absolute ass!

 

[scottchbrite]

Used to be one in San Bernardino. It was on a corner called “chicken corner” because it was also next to a KFC and some other chicken proprietor (Pioneer?). That are all gone now from that area.

I've heard that Pioneer was the far better chicken but I never got to try it. Haven't seen a Churchs in years. They probably lost out to the race to the bottom winner, KFC.

Apparently there is a revived Pioneer chicken in south LA somewhere. Along with another long lost place called Naugles (Mexican food).

There’s still 2 Churches in Berdoo. Waterman and Baseline and Pepper and Foothill.

Farmer Boys is pretty damn good

Have at it if you like it,haha

In 1993, a large E. coli outbreak linked to Jack in the Box restaurants resulted in over 700 cases, four deaths, and significant legal settlements, ultimately leading to major advancements in food safety regulations and industry practices

We had a bad outbreak at our Chipotle here in Simi several years back, probably one of the safest places now

In Canada they banned medium rare burgers at all restaurants. Regular restaurant burgers suck here because they all over cook the shit out of them.

I think it was mentioned above . . . 'Tommy's' hambugers.
There's one off the 405 in Fountain Valley
I eat there about once every 3-4 years . . . just enough to enjoy it . . . then I'm good for another 3-4 years.
1 criteriea / tradition I have for Tommy's is to ALWAYS take a nap afterwards . . . if I can't do that, it's a no-go. The place ruins me.
I'm going to Marina Del Rey on the 28th for a tournament that's over at 1:00 pm. . . it's been 3-4 years . . . it's time !!!

The best marketing recovery ever. That’s when they brought back Jack the clown. People died but look, here’s a clown! It worked.

There's one down the street in La Puente. Only ate there once. I walked out shiny and had grease butt for a week!

 

[OldSchoolBoats]

Yeah it's definitely a favorite around our house because we have one so close. It's so damn expensive though!!

 

[Paradox]

The El Torito not far from there on Hawthorne. Sit in the bat area. Happy hour every day until 9. Lately chicken fajitas are $10.99

I can ask my Realtor if She knows of any good 1 bedroom spots in south Torrance or Redondo. She manages a few in that area. Prices are crazy though.

Thanks.

She ended up applying for a one bedroom (in a fourplex) a few blocks from the beach in Redondo. Seems like a nice neighborhood (mostly single family homes) and they are good with her dog. Comes with an independent one car garage that will fit her car and dirt bike as well.

Prices are high everywhere down that way especially closer to the beach. Although she’s going to have to pay $2,860 a month, out of the dozen plus units we looked at, it was the best value considering the area. Seems like it got a bit seedy the closer you got to Lawndale or Artesia Bl.

Probably also worth noting is the unit was completely rehabbed. New everything including an in unit washer/dryer, all new appliances, flooring, countertops, etc. she’ll be the first person to live in it assuming she gets the lease. There were several folks looking at it however, she’s a saver (significant money in her investment accounts) and has an 800 credit score. As a result, she should be a top candidate.

You know you got off at the wrong exit when you see a churches chicken.

My old neighborhood. Grew up west of Palos Verdes Blvd at Sepulveda. Moved to PCH at Ruby street Where my rent was 600 per month. Took my old girlfriend to the Outback by the del Amo Mall dozens of times. What cross streets is she near?

It’s off of Prospect and Anita. One of the GEM streets.

My wife and I lived in Santa Monica in the late 80s. Right off of Cloverfield. It was a rent controlled one bedroom in a decent complex. Rent was $226 a month.

 

[Angler]

Give me a good Italian deli!!!

If you are ever in Covina, Look up Capri Deli.

What does that say when get a coupon for $5 !! Off a burrito!

 

[coolchange]

Got a stomach ache? Tommy’s burger clears it right up for me.

 

[caribbean20]

As I learned from RDP a couple years ago when I posted a note about Johnny’s Pastrami, Tommy’s has a pretty darn tasty pastrami sammy, FYI.

 

[boatnam2]

We have a fantastic burger next to us that isn't that great, but someone told me to try the one at Marina pacifica, they have a really good burger there and they also serve beer.

Aside from In N Out and Portillos I don't eat Fast Food. So much of what they put in that stuff isn't actually food. Don't take me as some health food nut but there's no way I'm eating McD's, Taco Bell or whatever. Just because it's edible doesn't make it food.

I know the area well. I worked at the car dealership at the bottom of the hill on PCH When it changed from Datsun to Nissan. Its Mitsubishi now.

This thread inspired me to have fast food yesterday. Which I rarely have.
The Taco Bell did not disappoint. It wasn’t the worst, but it certainly wasn’t great.
surprisingly, I kept my shit together until this morning.

I ate at the one the teenage girl got sick at on Monday and for 5 days my employees spent all day asking how I was feeling

This is RDP, we do not finance toys and certainly do not eat Fast Food!

Order their breakfast burrito and have the eggs cooked over easy instead of scrambled, game changer!

 

[dribble]

Burger king is by far the worst tasting dog shit fast food. Absolutely terrible

It’s been over 40 years since I’ve eaten anything from Burger King. As a side note the last time I walked into a Taco Bell was March 27, 2001. Ask me why I remember the date.

Oh man, Portillos is a must stop when I'm in Chicago. There's so many Chicago transplants here I'm actually surprised that they haven't brought a Portillos to Vegas yet.

I think there's one on the way to LV. There's 8 of them in AZ now and 2 in CA

I'm too lazy to make dinner. Thinking Popeyes, maybe Five Guys, or maybe Church's. Or be healthy and get a poke bowl at my favorite place.

Found a Pioneer today in Boyle Heights, Soto St and Whittier Blvd.

Didn’t Jack in the Box also get caught selling horse meat? I recall the word was that they had three windows; Show, Place and Win.

 

[westair]

Not sure where Jack in the Box ranks but I sure do miss not having one here.

.99 cent tacos! ....... Jack in the Box owner lives across street from me (havasu)

Jack in the box was sold horse meat, they weren't knowingly buying horse meat

Do you guys still have Baker's over there in Occupied Territory? That was the only place one could still get a cheese burrito after Naugle's closed.

A cheese burrito, isn't that a quesadilla?

Love coney dogs. #1 is Lafayette Coney Island in Detroit. Was in DC today and Ben’s Chili Bowl is a close second. A no brainer for lunch.

I'm going to have to say this as fast food probably gives you the shits and probably taste like shit too.
