I have eaten a lot of fast food in my life. Like many kids growing up in the 80's, I was raised to keep special place in my heart for McDonald's, Burger King, and Wendy's. In the 90's I opened myself up to Checkers, Sonic, and Hardee's. Since moving to California I have tried Carl's Jr., Tommy's, In and Out, Astro Burger, and many more. However, they were all just carnal moments of shame compared to the flame broiled complexity of a Burger King burger and the salty crispness of their fries. After a lot of research, I am now ready to proclaim Burger King the best fast food chain burger and fries in the industry.


Strong words.

I'm ready to agree with you. The others have splashes of pizazz that I like in theory, but Burger King would be where I would pull in just about every time if guilt and shame didn't exist. They got their hooks into me by having hands-down the best drive-thru breakfast (CROISSANWICH and TATER TOTS!), and now I've decided they're the best across the board.

A love affair with fast food...ahhh, my people :)
First I'll agree with Michelle... the Croissanwich and tater tots... OH my god... If I could spell that sound that Homer Simpson makes when he thinks of donuts I would.
I have an idea for you BH, how about a fantasy team? (like the sports teams) Mine would be Whopper with Cheese (BK) McDonald's fries, and a Frosty from Wendy's. (although Wendy's fries are pretty rockin' too.
I am a child of the 80's too and worked at BK when they tried to "change" their fries. Before then I'd have agreed with you but now they've got a consistency that's... sorry, repulsive.
Have you tried Apple Pan in LA? :)

That photo simply creeps me out. (And it's the King that does it ... not you.)
I love In & Out's off the menu grilled cheese.

Carl's Jr? Ick.
I notice no mention of Jack in the Box (double ick!)
I agree w/Duane on the King thing. That ad campaign is enough to keep me from going there.

When a girl is PMS'ing and grease is the only calming agent for cramps on 'roids, BK is the only fix, the only drug, the only elixor!
