McDonalds cheeseburger Happy Meal .. with a prize! I give it to one of the grands.

I have a soft spot for Cluck U wings. I crave them a couple of times a year, even though I can (and do) make great chicken wings myself. But it has nothing to do with convenience (OH needs to take a special trip to get them) or low prices (they are not very cheap, anyway), it's their bloody good sauce!

Taco John's - it's a western thing. Kicks Taco Bell's ass. I like a Taco Bravo, the bean burrito, and Potato Oles.

every christmas eve there must be KFC, also I get a craving once in a while for krystals chix SO is already prepared for the KFC run tomorrow, I missed it last year, and I MUST have it this year!!

Curly fries. And I don't even like regular french fries. It's the seasoning they put on them.

nuggets or strips at chick-fil-a

I'm with the Taco Bell addicts. What is it about that uniformly orange cheese sauce? ....So bad yet soooo good.

KFC mashed potatoes and gravy. I will eat (and have eaten) an entire tub of it in a single sitting.

Like everyone else it seems, taco bell is my poison of choice, the only one I get genuine cravings for.

@Traveller - you and my OH, both! He even says that he's quite certain there are no real potatoes in KFC mashed potatoes, but he still loves them on occasion.

I have a sentimental attachment to Taco Time, which is a chain that I think started in Idaho, although there are a few in CA now. Their crisp meat burrito is basically a flour tortilla wrapped around mystery ground meat and deep fried so you have a cylinder about an inch and a half in diameter and 8 inches long. Perfect for dipping into their salsa.

If I'm really stuck, I also like a McDonald's snack wrap or hot fudge sundae.

I feel no guilt about going to In&Out, Fatburger, Whataburger or Burgerville - none of which are easily accessible to me.

Big Mac-I feel guilty for days after I eat one!
Burrito Supreme- I feel gross for days after that!
Of course In-n-Out! Thank goodness there are none in New Mexico.

I generally don't eat fast food, not because I'm trying to be healthy, but because I just don't like the food. However, though I'm not even tempted by a burger from McDonalds, BK, Wendys, whatever, I absolutely LOVE White Castle cheeseburgers! The ultimate in greasy gut-bombs! Every couple months (usually after a cocktail-filled night) I pick up a dozen sliders.

Anything from Taco Bell and a roll-aid chaser.

I was a huge fan of the chicken mcnuggets before they switched to all white meat (pretty sad but I preferred the unhealthy nonwhite nuggets slathered in sweet and sour sauce or honey also a hige fan of the quater pounder with cheese and fries but I haven't been to McD's in years.
There are not many around her but my other fave used to be Roy Roger, they have an amazing roast beef sandwich that is awesome with the horseradish sauce.
Pudgie's chicken- thighs please and cole slaw. MMMM Grease.

Wendy's chocolate shake
MickyD's fries

There are not many fast food things I like but there are a few.
I love a taco bell mexican pizza now and then.
Wendy's frosty in the summer.
Lemonade from Aunt Annie's
When we go to NC I have to have Bojangles chicken and Cook out burgers.
Recently I discovered Chick-FilA and the sandwiches are not half bad.
I like a Nathan's hot dog also great fries and hotdogs from Costco.

KFC - extra crunchy with hot sauce - I just love it - I don't even know if they do "extra crunchy" anymore, as I try my damndest to stay away - oh, oh, I'm reaching for my car keys!

@MaresyDotes McDonalds changed the name of that fish sandwich? Wasn't that is what they were called a ton of years ago? I forgot. lol.

Dick's Drive In's- cheseburgers, fries w/tartar.

McDonalds- (not one near me for miles so it has been years since I hav been there) Qrt pounder w/cheese and the dbl size fries.
Burger King (not one near me ) A whopper with cheese and the dbl fries.
KFC- ( not even a pipe dream near me) But when I drive 10 miles and they are around they have these bowls I like.
Jack in the Box-those new bowls they make, the breakfastjack an a dbl fries.
Wendys (this is a joke how far this place is from me)- I have to have the chilli, any burger will do, fries and the shake they make.
Taco time- They have this huge buritto that I get with chicken and those potatoes
These places used to be all around the Univ Dist in Seattle and they took almost all in indicated away. Right now the closest one is Jack in the Box and Dicks.

KFC. Gods, I love KFC so much that original recipe fried chicken was meat I ate when I stopped being vegetarian. Not ironically, this year I discovered I'm allergic to MSG... and what's one of those 11 herbs and spices? Sigh.

McDonald's cheeseburgers. An occasional treat, but I love 'em when I get them.

Krispy Kreme. I'm from North Carolina. We base sports events around those doughnuts. I'm sure in Heaven, the "hot doughnuts now" sign is always lit. Enough said.

Cook-out. Watermelon milkshakes in summer and the divine eggnog milkshakes in summer. The other months of the year ain't bad, but I know people who come from out of state (and rightly so) for those milkshakes.

Bojangle's sausage, egg, and cheese biscuit with a side of potato wedges. Brunch of champions.

@Traveller--I too, lived many years as a poor student and have never ingested Taco Bell, and I'm not a big fan of Mexican food, so I probably never will!

I ate an awful lot of fast food growing up--it didn't seem like it at the time, but I did, so I think I'm kind of 'tapped out' of it. I did go through several phases when I loved it as a kid, and as a grad student often craved Starbucks mocha fraps and maple walnut scones.

Jrecks turkey sub with lots of hot pepper relish, Taco Bell 7 layer burrito or a Pizza Hut personal pan pizza with extra cheese (hangs head in shame).

@cybercita--I always loved DQ's dilly bar. I wonder if Dennis the Menace is still their "theme character?"

I love to dip Wendy's Frosties, and it's even better when you dip french fries in them ... sooo good!

Wendy's double cheeseburger and a frosty.

If I had to go to McDonald's. it would be a quarter-pounder with cheese.

When I feel queasy, I crave a Burger King whopper with cheese and a vanilla shake.

I eat from those places about once every 2 or 3 years. It's not a health or diet issue, I just tend to eat lunches at home most of the time, and I'm not all that crazy about the food to want to go there any more often.

As for KFC, about once a year or so my MIL will have us over for dinner, and she'll serve KFC. BUT, she gets 8 pieces of chicken for 4 people, and you know that 2 are wings and 2 are weird pieces with not enough meat, Those 8 pieces might be enough for the 2 guys. Maybe. And the second disappointment is that she never gets the cole slaw. Honestly, that's my favorite thing at KFC, and I'd be happy eating a big bowl of that and forget the rest. However, even with the lack of meat and slaw, those KFC dinners are about the best ones we have at her house.

Carl's Jr. $6 burger, no onions.
McDonald's apple pies and McNuggets with sweet & sour sauce.
Panda Express orange chicken.
In&Out double double.
Sonic chicken toaster sandwich.

There, I'm done. And starving.

Popeye's, spicy, dark, 2 (or 3) pieces, with a side of slaw to kid myself that I'm getting a vegetable.

Taco Bell's 7-layer burrito was pretty good - do they still make that?

What Cybercita said - DQ caramel sundae, with Spanish peanuts!

Yeah, I have to admit that Popeye's is a weakness I will occasionally (a few times a year) give in to, though for the past two years, I haven't (only because there is no Popeye's here where I live.

A huge coffee roll from Dunkin Donuts.

McD's double cheeseburger and large fries. Great to stuff a stomach, but doesn't do much for the heart.

I have a weak spot for Arby's roast beef sammies but I haven't had one in years...
But I will confess to consuming several Dick's burgers here in Seattle recently...

taco time-- fish taco and tots with extra jalopenos!

@Jerzee and Jenilo... I miss cookout so much, the first thing I do when I go back to my college town is get a cookout shake and cajun fries and a burger!

...I wish they had Cookout in NYC...

Sonic tater tots. Yum.
Jack in the Box tacos. So mysterious and so good.

I forgot about the wonderful McRib! haha. I shudder to think at what is really in that boneless pork that has been reconstituted with rib like grooves (ever notice that the grooves are only on top? haha!). But slather that baby in barbecue sauce, top with a pickle and onion, put it on a bun and it is pretty tasty. Of course it could just be the "back for a limited time" aspect that always gets me. I always enjoy it though.

BK double cheeseburger and fries. The flame-broiled taste can't be beat. And I love BK fries, better than Mickey D's.

Ok - what is this Cookout everyone's talking about?? I've never heard of them but that watermelon shake sounds amazing!!

@Caramel: Cookout is a burger chain in North Carolina... They have really yummy burgers and fries (their cajun seasoning on the fries is fantastic) but what they are really known for are their shakes... Sooooooo many different flavors that are year round, and then there are seasonal shakes, like Egg Nog... Watermelon is a seasonal one as well I think? Think of Cookout Shakes as love... in sippable form.

- anything from KFC (especially their Honey BBQ wings). Those biscuits are so bad for you, but amazing.
- Wendy's chicken nuggets. Five for $1 -- I can't resist!
- fresh, hot McDonald's french fries with a dusting of salt and plenty of ketchup

Five Guys baby burger and their delish fries! I'm not even a fast food junkie (hate McDonald's) but Five Guys is the best. Once you try them, the craving will go on forever!

McDonald's-Big Mac, apple pie, sausage and egg biscuit.
Burger King- Whopper junior with cheese
Wendy's- french fries and chicken nuggets with barbeque sauce and Popeye's Spicy Chicken- wings preferred

Ooohhh. Big mac and large fries. Popeye's extra spicy chicken. Double whopper w/ cheese. Sausage egg mcmuffin w/cheese and hash browns. I LOVE fast food. Love it. Well, the above specific fast food. I only eat it maybe 4 times a year, always get kinda sick, and find it totally worth it.

I have tons.

In-n-Out double-double animal style.
2 tacos from Jack in the Box.
I actually like Whoppers for some reason and get the craving sometimes.
Taco Bell stuff with lots of fire sauce.

Sonic onion rings. So REAL! Do any other chains have real onion rings?
I love a good shake, a malt's even better. Who makes them with real milk and dairy-not-nondairy ice cream?

A Five Guys hotdog with mustard - they slice the dog in half and griddle it until it's crunchy. YUM.
