I seem to recall seeing a couple in Utah but they're not at all common here. Mainly in the malls.

[Frumple]

Yeah, mostly the south. Honestly, about the only thing they have going for them is the waffle fries, in m'opinion. Not many fast food joints sell those, at least in my area. But yeah, s'been a couple of years since I've ate at one now, bleh, so I guess I'll just have to get around to learning to cook th'bloody things m'self.

Which is a good thing, I guess. Cooking means I can improve them, huehuehue.

The waffle fries are decent, but the spicy chicken sandwich is godly and actually kind of spicy for a mainstream product. (I'm a heat freak, sue me.)

Dammit, stop tempting me! God I wish there was a Buffalo Wild Wings in Boone so I wouldn't be tempted by the Chick-Fil-A in our dining hall. Some of the students here at ASU are petitioning to have it removed, though. I am getting that fucking Zaxbys sooner or later, oh yes.

If you want spicy chicken, try visiting Chilies (if there is one near you) and order their honey-chipotle crispy chicken. The stuff is amazing, quite spicy, and as far as I know doesn't contribute to hate groups. Win-win!

[MetalSlimeHunt]

I warn you, my definition of spicy is pretty skewed. Nothing under 100,000 Scovilles even registers anymore, and I prefer to have at least 300,000. Higher is fine, but you start to get a chemical taste from the capsicum concentration around 700,000 that I don't care much for.

BW3's has some pretty ridiculously spicy wings. I don't think anyone actually eats them unless they're on a dare. I've been told they're just spiciness without any real other flavor.

Also I really don't get all the craziness about how Chic-Fil-A tastes so delicious. I've never heard anybody praising it except in response to someone talking about boycotting it. If it was really so good that thousands of liberals are depressed they can't eat the best chicken ever, I really feel like one of them would have mentioned it to me earlier.

You're wrong. Wild (2nd Highest) is my regular order, but I go for Blazing (Highest) on occasion. Unfortunately they start to have that chemical taste I mentioned, hence why I don't eat them all the time. Hot (3rd Highest) and below are not spicy to me. That reminds me that I should probably order some Wild sauce since there's no Buffalo Wild Wings in Boone.

This is genetic, or perhaps just behavioral, but I definitely got it from my father, who has successfully completed the Blazing Challenge with time to spare. He described it as "fun".

It is full of salt and fat. Humans have a genetic predisposition to want these things because of how rare they used to be and how useful they are to us. Chik-Fil-A is basically everything your lizard brain could ever want.

It's not so much "so delicious" as it's "better than macdonalds". For a fastfood joint, it's better than most I've had the... pleasure... of encountering. Before I paid enough attention to notice CFA was owned by bigots, it was one of the few fastfood places I would willingly subject myself to, and a few of the others were strictly because they were open at four in the morning in a small town. I liked the waffle fries, and the chicken was alright. This is a higher quality of assessment than I could assign to about 95% of fastfood places I have encountered, especially in the area I'm in.

[Sirus]

But I can get delicious chicken just about anywhere around here, and not just at fast food places either. Admittedly, waffle fries are delicious and I can't name a single restaurant around here that serves them, but it really doesn't sound much better than just about any other place I can visit.

[Skyrunner]

Anyone know of Five Guys? Putting aside the issue of health, it tastes good. :3

Chick-fil-a does have great chicken sandwiches. There's one right outside the gate to the University I went to, and on the rare occasion I had some spare time before my afternoon classes I would sometimes grab one or two for lunch. Personally, I thought they were delicious... some of the best chicken I ever had. But I don't go there anymore, not least of which because I don't live near one anymore. I don't know if I could resist otherwise, but It's probably been a year or more since I had one. The waffle fries were pretty good as well, must be the extra surface area.

There is a Five guys here, but I don't like their food... just a slab of meat on soggy bread... might be okay for some, but I've even heard people who tend to love slabs of meat complain that they're just too much meat for a hamburger. If I choose to eat a fast food hamburger, it'll probably be a What-a-burger, or maybe a Krystal. There used to be a local place, it was only around for 6 months or so, but it was amazing. Simple place, only had like 3 things on the menu. Hamburgers, hotdogs and fries. Different toppings available for all, but they did them all so well that the limited menu didn't matter. Sadly, they closed down a few years ago... just never caught on, I still miss their food.

[Frumple]

What-a-burger's been pretty decent, and while I never patronized the one that was in the town I got the bachelor's at, I heard good things about the one there. Namely about the free wi-fi and being open 24 hours; good if you can't study on campus/where you're living at the time for whatever reason, especially at like three in the morning Krystal...

... Mi padre use to refer to krystal's lil' sandwich things as sliders. Place is cheap, but the quality's been consistently crap (ha) the times I've given it a shot. It might be a regional thing, though. I've only tried the ones within a single city, so far.

I can't actually think of a fastfood place I'd willingly eat a hamburger at nowadays. Tend to stick to chicken, and away from sandwiches to boot. When I eat at them, anyway, which leans toward something like once every other month, heh, if that. I'd rather cook! Tastes better, get more, costs less. Slightly more effort, but bah! It's fun effort~

When it comes to fast-food, I'm pretty partial to Harvey's. Good burgers. But no idea about the political affiliations.

[GreatJustice]

I've always liked Wendy's the best myself. The fries are awesome. The chicken can vary a lot from one place to another, though; the one nearest my house often resembles rubber chicken. Of course, I've never had Chick Fil A, so I wouldn't know how it compares.
