What is your favorite fast food on road trips?
mcdonald's nuggets, i can pop the whole piece straight into my mouth, great stuff for convenience, and i don't need to worry about messy drippings all over or dirty hands.

meat! any type of meat tastes better with charred spots.
Do you know where your meat really comes from?
i dont want to know. knowing too much and thinking about eating isn't really that appetising at all.
How I can control my overindulgent tendencies?
food porn! look at pictures of food, imagine myself eating them, then go to bed dreaming about them. haha~ it makes me hungry, but at least it sort of satiates

What is your favorite fast food on road trips?
Born, raised and still living in California. In'N'Out (traditional double-double with onions, fries well-done) is definitely acceptable roadtrip food. And, a few times a year we'll bring it home, usually after a yardwork marathon that runs past dinnertime (too late and too tired to cook, way too grubby to get out of the car in public).
Once in a while we'll grab Breakfast Jacks from Jack In The Box on a road trip. Or, if it's getting late and we haven't reached our planned stopping point, we'll hit Sonic if we see one along the route.
The man of the house claims to really like KFC (probably because I've never mastered fried chicken, and have basically given up on it). But, in the seven or so years I've known him, I've yet to see him actually stop there.
In general, we just don't like fast food. A "counter-service" place or diner is almost always the preferred alternative.
Oh. And, it's not fast food, but what about Cracker Barrel?

Seems my favorite In-N-Out burger is pretty popular with road trippers. I live in Texas and rarely get out to California, but when I do, its an In-N-Out rampage. I dream about these burgers and fries.
My other road food weakness is James Coney Island, roundabout Austin and Houston. The chili cheese coneys are the best dog ever, the tots are perfect and they serve beer. What more can you ask for?
What is your favorite fast food on road trips?
I used to love seeing Waffle Houses for the first time on trips from NY to FL. Now that I live in FL, they're a big "so what" ... LOL. If I had to pick a fast food place, it would be Checkers. OMG...The only french fries on the planet I can eat without ketchup!!
What is your favorite fast food on road trips?
Sonic all the way. And in the south, Huddle House. SO much better than IHOP.
What is your favorite fast food on road trips?
My long drives from Thunder Bay, Ontario, to Mississauga, Ontario (about 17 hours) were punctuated by Tim Horton's. The coffee keeps you going, and the snacks range from the very bad for you (i.e. TimBits-donut holes to the Timmie's virgins) to the relatively good for you (i.e. yogurt and berries, whole grain bagels), depending on your mood.
What is your favorite fast food on road trips?
I always pack a cooler for road trips, but on the rare occasions I've had fast food, I have to agree with In and Out burger.
What is your favorite fast food on road trips?
Sonic! Cherry limeades and tator tots and cheese sticks...
And if I am lucky to be in the Piedmont Triad (NC), Cookout. Cookout shakes are the best! Also burgers that are soooo good.
What is your favorite fast food on road trips?
We have a tendency to do marathon driving when we go cross-country, like mainly driving all night and into the next day when we stop and sleep. So we end up with a sort of day and a half long day. Because we are confined to the van that long, we really only eat breakfasts. Our good luck holds well for picking good breakfast places, including Lilo's in Seligman AZ.... and others that I can't name now. But once down south (we both have early childhood and early adulthood memories) and will just start drooling at Waffle Houses and in Florida, Huddle Houses. Nothing fancy, just good quantities and I like the fact that you can see eggs being broken, bacon and home fries on the grill, nothing that is not prepared fresh right in front of you.
