It's a sad and perverse tradition at my house to get strawberry shakes from McD's after trips to the ER (and we've indulged 10 times in the past 18 months or so). When you get discharged at 2 in the morning, that's the only thing open; and ya kinda need a bit of comfort, after all ....

In-N-Out Double Double animal style!

The burgers at Steak'n'Shake - I haven't had one of these since I was in college, but they're not reproduced anywhere east of Ohio so far as I know. They're crispy squished little things, but they still taste wonderful!

Chick-Fil-A Chicken Sandwich. Just two warm buns, pickles and breaded/fried delicious moist chicken!

the mac wrap from mcdonalds :)

Mickey D's fries, of course!

Since I was first introduced to chicken nuggets in my first happy meal - I've never been able to stay away from them

White Castle slyders with cheese, dipped in a ketchup/mustard mixture.

Skyline Chili five way, hands down. (NO GoldStar!)

Tie between Jack in the Box 2 Tacos for 99 cents and In-n-Out animal style Double-Double.

French Fries

On a 90s high school kid summer budget with employee friends, a giant tray of Arby's curly fries with cheese, special sauce and whatever else the 'chefs' improvised with, with a side of chicken fingers, all for less than a buck.

Checkers fries!

Grilled Stuft Burrito from Taco Bell. I'm not proud.

omg gimme some french fries!! hot and greasy and crispy and heavenly french fry-ee!

The french fries from Checkers. Mmmm ... the seasoning ... the carbolicious potatoes ... I'm telling you, those fries could create world peace.

double whopper with cheese and a chocolate shake.

Bacon-cheese.

Chick-Fil-A's chicken sandwich – perfect combination of pickles and chicken and soft bun.

Shoe-string french fries.

Either anything from Chick-Fil-A or an In-n-Out Double Double and fries with a squeeze of lime and salt

Chik-Fil-A chicken sandwich...mmmm pickles!

In 'n out animal style fries.

popcorn chicken :x

Easy: 2 double cheeseburgers from McDonald's with the top bun taken off of one, bottom bun taken off the other. Put together and you have the double-double. So bad and so good.

Spicy fries from Five Guys!!

Five Guys Little Bacon Burger loaded with just about every option. Yummmmmm

Lobster roll from Duchess

A Lick's veggie burger, or 7 layer burrito from Tac-ho Bell!

anything from taco bell!

Chaco-taco FTW! Taco Bell used to have them, along with those cinnamon crispers, and there was nothing like 2 soft chicken tacos followed by...

Tearing into the chewy goodness of the cookie wafer shell...
accented by the melty vanilla ice cream...
chocolate haphazardly drizzled across the top
with a touch of crunch from the nuts

and that LAST BITE that was always a complete mess, but it was really completely wonderful!

Nathan's cheese dog (at the original Nathan's), with a side of freshly-shucked clams.

Arby's Beef n Cheddar...

Chik-Fil-A chicken sandwich with extra pickles and mayo...i'm craving one right now!

In & Out burger, animal style.

Grilled cheese with fries from Steak N Shake... mmm...

I can always go for a Wendy's Spicy Chicken Go Wrap!

White Castle double cheeseburger

It's gotta be from Wendy's, and it's gotta be the Spicy Chicken Sandwich.

I hate to say it, but McNuggets. So good and yet so bad.

fudge sundae at mcdonalds- only $1

Either a White Castle cheeseburger with everything (including the mustard and ketchup mixed together that my mom calls "the gross brown sauce") or a chili cheese burrito from Taco Bell. Not all Taco Bell's have them. It's always disappointing when I go in and they don't have it.

Burger Bar lamb burger in Israel. yum.

in-n-out cheeseburger animal style with a neapolitan milkshake

I love Sonic's Bacon Cheeseburger Toaster Sandwich, but frankly it doesn't taste as good unless it has a side of fried pickles and a lemon/berry slushie and I'm eating it in my Jeep with the top down on a 72-degree spring day with a slow breeze out of the southeast.

Pretty particular, I guess.

Chipotle Carnitas Burrito.

chick-fil-a chicken nuggets with their waffle fries

I like the breakfast items, especially when I'm on the go - sausage egg mcmuffin

Sonic's Cherry Limeade. And as the closest Sonic is about a 90-minute drive from me, I don't get it very often.

gotta be those chicken mcnuggets and sweet & sour sauce. so good, but unfortunately makes my stomach hurt each time i venture back there. sucks how this comment contradicts my stance on fast food. but every now and then is okay! cheers!

Lemon berry slush from Sonic!

My FAVORITE thing to get out at fast food???? hmmm... it would have to be a mistake at mcdonalds. i got a bigmac but they used the 1/4lb meat, so it was a 1/2lb bigmac!!!!!!!!!!mmmmmmmmmmm

How can you not be completely addicted to fries? I am. It's a toss up between Red Robin and Wendy's fries. I adore the soggy ones the most.

Checkers' spicy chicken sandwich and fries with an orange soda. Or Wendy's fries, when you luck out and get the non-burned ones.

Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger from Wendy's *drool* I could eat five of them and still have room for a Frosty!

Chili cheese coneys with finely chopped onions from James Coney Island in Houston, TX

McDonald's Sausage Biscuit with Egg. Grape jelly on the side.

Peruvian chicken dinner with yucca fries from Wild Chicken. Or from el Pollo Rico. Or from Guapas. Or from ....

Egg McMuffin minus the ham for a quick breakfast very early in the morning when you're on the road.

Chick-Fil-A chicken nuggets. They don't even need sauce, they're perfect the way they are (save the ranch dipping sauce for the waffle fries instead!)

McChicken or the double cheeseburger. I have always contemplated combining the two, but I think that my body would just give out on me.

French fries!

I would have to say it's the Taco Bell bean burrito with no onions. (I know, gross! But I love them).

The Whopper. That's some good stuff.

French fries, but NOT Mickey D's.

Good Times wild fries dipped and eaten in their vanilla custard

OR

Wendy's spicy chicken sandwich and chocolate frosty

McDonald's breakfast. Every once in a while a sausage McMuffin with egg just hits the spot.

Culver's Team Scoopie Butterburger Meal! It comes with a burger that's almost as big as the original butter burger, a choice between: fries, onion rings, or cheese curds, a soft drink or milk, and a free scoop of custard with any one topping. Plus, a scoopie ticket. When you save up 10 you can get a free t-shirt or a free kids meal!

checkers fries!

The McDonald's soft-serve ice cream cone. I could eat them every day. And back in Spain in the days of the peseta, when it cost 50 pesetas (or roughly 30 cents), I practically did.

In'N'Out double double.

POUTINE!
And if you haven't had it in Quebec, you haven't had poutine.

I'm addicted.

Bojangles bacon, egg and cheese biscuits. One of the reasons I miss living in North Carolina . . .

Carne asada buritto at Alberto's in SD County, a mere 1300 miles away from here.

Cookout (NC chain) milkshakes!

ashamed to say, but when i was 10, absolutely NOTHING was better than a taco bell chalupa. preferably with the baja sauce. haven't had one in years though.

White Castle jalepeno cheeseburger!

french fries - alone or with gravy and cheese or ketchup or vinegar or pepper - fries

the curly fries from arby's. there's nothing better I tell you. nothing.

New favorite: hot dog with cheese and bacon.....from Five Guys

Chickfila chicken strips, waffle fries and a ton of sauce! (Chickfila sauce, honey mustard, and polynesian!)

I rarely get them anymore, but any kind of French fries is great.

chick-fil-a sandwich!!

chick-fil-a's chicken strips with honey mustard sauce. yum.

Chik-fil-a #1 Large! and an extra sandwich...you heard right, 2...TWO sandwiches...and some cole slaw to put on it, and a lemonade...don't forget the lemonade...mmmmmmm...waffle fries

either a large cheese fries form nathans or gorditas/chalupas with a mountian dew code red to wash it down.

Sometimes it's ice cream, smoothies, or McD's fish filet.

If I'm around an In N Out than absolutely a double double animal style! If not than I'm a Big Mac girl

I've got to go with a Chick-Fil-A original sandwich, not easy to come by around here but truly my favorite fast food.

A carnitas fajita burrito with black beans, green salsa, corn salsa, lettuce, cheese, sour cream, and guac from Chipotle.

wendy's frostys = delicious

mcnuggets w/ sweet & sour sauce.

Chicken Mcnuggets with sweet & sour sauce - I've loved them since I was a kid and I'm in my 20s now.

chili cheese fries from del taco... fond late night memories of those :)

in-n-out burger

KFC hot wings! So good!

10 years prior to this, i would've probably said KFC's mac&cheese, loved to eat it while on vacation. But my favourite fast food nowadays would have to be Pizza, anywhere, anytime, and the same applies for ice cream! (Hamburgers with xtra pickles are also a win and Taco Bell's Crunchwrap Supreme is so addictive!).

It was the Asian Chicken Salad at McD's, but now it is the Roastburger at Arby's!!

I love chicken nuggets and fries from McDonalds

mickydees filet o fish and nuggets

French fries!

are five guys and chipotle/moe's/qdoba fast food? they're all a cut above. when it comes to your less expensive fast food, i'm all about an arby's roast beef with a jamocha shake on the side.

Kebab with Airan :)

I'm a fan of the burrito, but my wife would prefer that I were not.
