Be honest. How often do you eat fast food?

    When I'm driving a long distance. When at home... a couple times a month. We have family diners I go to usually or at night some local restaurants. I cook a lot, but it's hard for one.

    More than I should, but not an awful lot. It's more of an impulse thing for me. I'll get hungry while running errands or something and the quick, cheap, convenience of 2 McChickens and a half-cut sweet tea for $3 is hard to beat. I get it maybe one to two times a week, and that's usually what I order.

    I did cheat yesterday and got a Bacon double cheeseburger loaded with fries and a dr pepper from A&W yesterday... It was pretty phenomenal...

    Oh, and in the fall, I'll swing past McDs and order a dozen apple pies, and I take 1 or 2 for my in-the-truck-breakfast on the way to hunt for the week.

    Once every two or three months. That's usually stopping at a KFC and getting wings for the wife and I'll get a container of their slaw. I know that slaw tastes too good to be good for you.

    About once every other month, my friend and I stop at McD's on way to a Gun Show or Bass Pro.

    I love a&w. Just love it. And I don't even feel like I am eating ghetto food.

    Isn't it a crime in Wisconsin to choose A&W over Culver's? :p

    I eat fast food several times a week. On the run during the summer time without a "home" to cook at until I return to Alabama makes it difficult...especially being unemployed without a set routine or schedule.

    During school I'll cook 6 nights a week and dine out once, and I fix a sandwich every day for lunch, with a yogurt and carrots...without fail.

    At home, rarely, if ever.

    On the road, ever so often. I hate it though. I had Taco Bell today for lunch because my brain was telling me that I was craving it, but now I feel like crap.

    Every day since my electric went out (last Friday) and I feel like a slug... aside from that, once every couple weeks.

    I probably eat at fast food joints three or more times per month. Mostly because I'm on the road and: A) I'm in too much of a hurry to stop at a sit down joint. B) I'm covered in too much blood/fish slime/dirt/sweat/burnt gun powder to stop at a sit down joint. C) The choices are seedy/questionable looking 'restaurants' or fast food franchises where I at least have some idea of what I'll get.

    Just Saturday, a friend of mine came down from Chicagoland. We stopped at a Hardee's on the way to the gun range because it was fast and easy. After many hours and hundreds of rounds later, we were sweaty, gunpowdery and frankly... stinky (hey it was 100 degrees out). We went to a half-decent restaurant anyhow. We wore our hats the whole time because our sweaty hat-heads were probably more offensive than the hats. If anyone noticed our stinkiness, they didn't show it. :D

    No because a&w can be hard to find. Culverts are everywhere. Both are great.

    I like the A&Ws that are still drive-ins and not attached to a KFC or something, takes away from it. But butter burgers and frozen custard is pretty hard to beat haha.
