    I enjoy Smashburger and Freebirds (a southern chain like Chipotle but so much better) on occasion, but I know those are not complete national chains yet.

    Out of the large national chains, Taco Bell will always hold a special place in my heart.

    Taco bell is probably one of the worst fast food chains out there. Their meat is terrible(if it really is meat).

    I lived behind a Taco Bell in college. I ate thousands of those $0.59 tacos. I know it is slightly above dog food, but I still get a craving for it about once every 3 months.

    I then go cry in the corner and shame myself the rest of the day.

    Used to be a manager at YUM! (taco bell's then owner). Taco Bell's meat is indeed "canner grade", roughly equivalent to that used in dog food.

    Don't listen to them. They're a bunch of haters. Dan is mad at the world because he hasn't killed anything in years.

    I'm getting BWW carry-out on my way home and I'm going to text pictures to Dan on the way in AND the way out. :busted:

    I just think wings as a whole are overrated. That goes for BWW or a local place. Just a meh food choice IMO.

    I agree they are some haters. I enjoy the place I just went a couple days ago. I can't decide what I want to eat for lunch while I watch some basketball.

    It's just VERY bland for the absurd pricing. I feel like one watered down Miller Lite and 10 wings costs me $20... It's not like I won't eat it, but I much prefer a local hole in the wall where for the same $20 I get 3 beers and 20 wings....

    When it comes to chains offering chicken... The conversation starts and stops with Zaxbys. I may or may not have gotten 6 $25 gift cards to there over Christmas break (long story).... I have less than one of them left now.
