Fast Food Guilty Pleasures

OP types fat

Luv that chicken from PopEyes!

Taco Bell Nachos Bell Grande

Little Caesars Crazy Bread

Long John Silvers fish and hush puppies

BK Whopper with cheese and extra mayonnaise

Do Shake Shack, Cracker Barrel and Johnny Rockets count - or are they fast food adjacent?

That’s the closest I come to fast food cravings - nothing from McDs/BK/Wendy’s etc.

KFC original recipe all dark meat.

Oh, and the McDonalds muthafuckin’ square Filet O’ Fish with EXTRA cheese.

Chick-fil-A milkshakes

Wendy's Junior Cheeseburger Deluxe, with extra pickle, onion, and tomato, add mustard & bacon.

In-N-Out chocolate shake

At this point, any fried food would work; KFC and Popeyes chicken invade my dreams.

When it happens, I’m going to be the asshole making sure they don’t give me any of the old or weird pieces. I’ll start sucking on my teeth to warn them. Tooth suckers are always a pain.

Is the biscuit OP refers to the same as an English muffin? I'm Australian and never heard of a Maccas bacon and eggs biscuit

R11 No, a biscuit is something you make with Bisquick.

Kinda like a scone except not as dry

Biscuits are light and buttery and fluffy and I have no idea why countries outside of the US have never heard of them, as they're a basic staple, and really easy to make.

A McDonald's Bacon Egg And Cheese Biscuit:

I prefer the regular Sausage McMuffin. Super cheap, super good.

The only thing I'll eat from Arby's is their Jamocha Shakes... so good.

The McDonald's Chicken McGriddles is my guilty pleasure.

McDonald's Cherry Cream Pies

Whataburger's Lemon pies

Popeye's Apple Cinnamon pies

I used to indulge in the Taco Bell Sausage Breakfast Crunchwrap -- that thing was SOOO good -- but all the Taco Bells around me discontinued all breakfast foods a year ago when the pandemic hit.

And those CInnabonn Bites?? Holy crap those were good.

Arby’s French Dip, curly fries, mozzarella sticks

Chicken McNuggets with Hot Mustard Sauce. Taco Bell's Mexican Pizza before they discontinued them (UGH!).

Big Mac meal

Popeye's chicken sandwich

The entire concept of Taco Bell

KFC mashed potatoes and gravy. Also, their cole slaw. I'm not crazy about their chicken but KFC's sides are great!

McD's breakfast burrito.

I love McDonald’s breakfast. The sausage McMuffin and hash browns are my faves.

Popeye’s spicy fried chicken. Still have to try the chicken sandwich..

Apart from that, I don’t really eat fast food.

McDonald's new Crispy Chicken sandwich.

Popeye's Spicy Chicken, white meat, and coleslaw.

I know I'm in the minority, but sometimes I do love a subway on wheat - turkey breast and ham or Subway club with extra veggies, but no oil/vinegar and no pepperoncinis or olives.

McDonald's cheeseburgers with extra pickles and extra ketchup.

Taco Bell burrito supreme and potato tacos, or regular soft tacos, with Fire sauce.

I won't eat at Arby's, and I won't eat at In N'Out or Chick-Fil-A.

Five Guys cheeseburger and fries. With a Diet Coke, because I don't want the extra calories.

[quote] Biscuits are light and buttery and fluffy and I have no idea why countries outside of the US have never heard of them, as they're a basic staple, and really easy to make.

In the UK, "biscuits" are what Americans (US) would call cookies. American biscuits aren't a staple in the UK.

Yes, that's what was said, R29.

Why people in the UK call cookies "biscuits" is beyond me. There's nothing "biscuit-like" about them.

They're fucking COOKIES.

Of course, Brits are stupid enough to call all deserts "pudding", when PUDDING IS ITS OWN THING. Pudding is pudding. And dessert is dessert. Fucking idiot brits.

"Scones" are dry and cold.

"Biscuits" are moist and flakey and/or layery... and buttery savory goodness.

Nothing beats Red Lobster cheddar biscuits. It's not exactly fast food, but it's totally a guilty pleasure.

McDonald's french fries. Mmmmm, french fries! There are some fast food places in the same shopping center. Sometimes, I'll get a Wendy's burger; but then I'll go to McDonald's drive-thru for their fabulous fries.

As I do it, I think to myself, "These are to die for!" Then I say a little prayer for the poor Darfur Orphan. (In fact, I think I'll send some of my McDonald's coupons to Darfur to help them all out.) Now I don't feel guilty!

r30 Biscuit is a corruption of a word than means 'twice cooked/baked,' such as biscotti(Italian) or zwieback(German) How American biscuits came to be called so, is beyond me, since they are not baked twice. Maybe it's a reference to the general appearance of an old standby, a long-keeping bread product called 'hardtack.'

But then those British biscuits aren't twice cooked either, are they.

Wendy's Big Bacon Classic

The Burger King Bacon King. I mean, it's unhealthy as can be. But goddamn it's good. I get maybe one or two a year. Just to indulge myself.

Forgive us for R30. We're not all boorish rubes who think Americans invented the English language.

I'm an American and I find American biscuits a bit overrated. They can be done well but often aren't, and even the best version is a mess to actually eat. The fat and caloric load is also a but much for what's just a small piece of bread.

British "biscuits" are great with coffee as well as tea.

*bit much

I think I'm going to try the new Popeye's fish sandwich today. I hear it's good.

OP- You are obviously a FAT WHORE.

OP may type fat or they could really be guilty pleasures that he/she has once in awhile. Long John Silvers is a guilty pleasure and nobody will go there with me, I eat it maybe once a year. What's funny is nobody admits they like LJS but the one by me has been there for over 40 years so somebody is eating it.

All the Long John Silvers near me have closed. Sadly. I actually liked going there once or twice a year.

White Castles. Three White Castles, four White Castles with Cheese, three White Castles with Jalapeño, and two Chicken Rings, with a large fries and a chocolate shake.

While technically not fast food, Culver's Vanilla Frozen Custard gives me a flavorgasm.

Order the vanilla or chocolate frozen custard. It's fresh right out of the mixer.

And it's made with real, actual cream, not that mysterious industrial byproduct stuff that McDonald's, Dairy Queen or other fast foods call "shakes".

I always get a raspberry sundae at Culvers, R44, because it's literally the only place in the area that I know if that you can get a raspberry sundae, and it's SO FUCKING GOOD.

McChickens.

We had a $5 pepperoni Hot and Ready pizza and Crazy Bread from Little Caesars tonight and it was delicious.

Pork roll (Taylor Ham), egg, and cheese on a hard roll.

White Castle sliders.

Red Lobster cheddar bisquits.

Wendy's Spicy Chicken Sandwich.

Chic-fil-a classic and the diet lemonade

NY street slices

R48: official NJ breakfast.

The late, great McDonald's steak, egg and cheese bagel. ☹

Rarely get fast food in the last twenty years, but things I occasionally crave:

Sausage McMuffin with egg. Absolutely favorite fast food breakfast.

Del Taco Queso Loaded Nachos, no beans and extra “taco meat” with jalapeños.

Filet-o-fish. During Lent, McD’s has the for $2. I managed to forget that until just now.

I remember Long John Silver’s fish and hush puppies fondly, but cannot remember that last time I saw a LJS.

Taco Bell plain old crunchy beef tacos.

In college, I lived for 3am Sacks o’ Sliders from White Castle, but, without fail, regretted them the next day.

Fuck. Now I’m hungry.

OP, you had me until Sonic onion rings. The ones i had tasted like they had been dipped and fried in pancake batter. Too sweet, and I'm a Fat Whore from way back.

Jack in the Box Ultimate Cheeseburger. When I was 19 I had a friend whose parents wouldn’t allow him to eat them, but we’d eat them in secret, that’s how i got turned on to them. Back then they were only mayo & cheese, now they put catsup on. I also love an In & Out double double like once a year.

I think some of these queens have traded food for sex...

I'm about to find out if Sonic is still a guilty pleasure for me, the bf has gone out to pick some up.

Hate to admit it, but Mc Donald's Bacon egg and cheese biscuit, McDonald's crispy chicken sandwich and of course the French fries. Now, I don't do it often, maybe 4-5 times a year. But when I do surrender to the craving, this is what I eat. I used to love their fish sandwich, but now I don't eat fish unless I know what it is and where it came from. I only do the North Atlantic, wild caught, so it limits one. Nothing from the Gulf or the Pacific.

Does Wendy's still make the Big Fish and Frosty during lent? I had a catholic turbo-slut friend that made me get those with her during lent (work-wife). Only she would bulimia them up after. I didn't. Now she's still skinny and I'm a fat whore.

A guilty pleasure is the Double Quarter Pounder with Cheese.

It's SO GOOD, but it's so bad for you I only have one or two a year. When I really need a pick-me-up. There's just something about it that really hits the spot.

Don't bitch if you ever get sick, or worse, get covid OP. It's the fatties, and those with diabetes who are put on respirators with little chance to live.

You love all of that meat in your mouth hole

Regarding biscuits there used to be something at the store made by Freihofer’s maybe, called an Australian Toaster Biscuit. It was kind of like a crumpet. Anyone remember these? They were delicious and the only place you could find them was ShopRite.

i really like the little sausage-egg burritos from McDonalds. i am not a fan of the breakfast sandwiches using biscuits, they are too dry and crumbly for me. i prefer the sausage mcmuffin w/egg & cheese. i do really miss their breakfast sandwiches on bagels. i haven't had any breakfast (or anything else) from McDonalds in a very long time.

I like quite a lot of stuff from El Pollo Loco and have it Doordashed often. Been ages since i've had In N Out because i'm not willing to wait in that long drive through line. If Wendy's was closer to me, i'd definitely have had more fast food in the last 12 months and i'd be fatter than i am right now.

I love Egg McMuffins and when I was on WW they were low in points so they are actually on the healthy side for fast food.

R65, they had an "Egg-white delight" McMuffin for a while that was really, really good. And lower in fat and calories than even the regular Egg McMuffin.

Spicy chicken, chicken sandwich, fries, chicken tenders at Popeyes! But the only Popeyes near me are either in the ghetto, or over a twisty canyon road that is often very busy and the area is semi-ghetto. Each one takes 40 minutes round-trip minimum.

I love white castle cheeseburgers. Would have no white castle by me so I have to buy frozen.

Before the egg-white delight, they had the Western McOmelets ... egg mc muffins with ham, cheese, onions, and green peppers diced into the egg part. Basically a "Denver Omelet" on an English Muffin. IT WAS SO GOOD. I really miss it.

i've never understood the love for white castle burgers. i've had them once and the meat tastes weird to me. it made me think they might be using horse meat and i've never tried them again since.

i never had that r68 when McD's had it available, but i would probably eat that 2 or 3 times a week. that is my favorite egg dish (or maybe neck and neck with huevos rancheros). i am a savory breakfast fan. i'll pass on pancakes and waffles.

The only time I ever like White Castles is when I'm drunk.

Pizza Hut and Taco Bell

White Castle is best when freshly made and eaten at the restaurant. I also like their chicken rings!

r71 pizza hut had the best tasting marinara on their pizza, once upon a time. kind of sweet but not overpowering.

and what fresh hell is chicken rings r72?

oh dear myself on r74

You can get a burger that's nothing but meat and cheese on it at any McDonald's, Wendy's, Burger King, or Hardee's/Carl's Jr.

My local Taco Bell discontinued the taco salad.😭

Taco Bell sucks and has for a very long time. So does Del Taco these days (but the closest one is over 60 miles away). we have no real fast food mexi anymore. so we have to go with local joints.

R74, this be chicken rings! Really good with hot sauce!

It used to be Hardee's Frisco burger, but that has been long gone. I think they brought it back at some point, but I'm not sure it's the same as the original incarnation.

oh dear oh dear oh dear on this whole fat thread.

I love White Castle's Onion Chips... but dear lord, the onion farts and onion shits afterward were NOT worth it. So I've only had them once. They were great, but what they did to my body and the way they made me smell for 24 hours after was just awful.

Back in the day....about ten years ago, KFC had delicious pot pies, extra crispy chicken, cole slaw, mashed potatoes and biscuits to die for. I haven't had any KFC in about that long.

Imagine what all of your farts must smell like.

[quote] onion farts

Hey, that’s no way to talk about my film career. I made a movie with a gay black guy who went on to do a sitcom with Ricky Schroder, then I do that Seth MacFarlane cartoon twice, and this is the thanks I get?

R85 = James Woods

I read r59 as "Fish Frosty" and I think it put me off fast food forever.

I had to be out if the house for a few hours this morning and I had nowhere to be. I drove along the coast for a while, then turned to stop at an ATM. Lo and behold, a McDonalds was right there. It reminded me of this thread, so I went through the drive thru.

I ordered a sausage McMuffin with egg combo. The sandwich was just as I remembered: juicy, warm, and delicious. It was fresh. The “hash brown,” however, was a shock. It was a greasy disc. Its oil saturated the paper pocket it came in. I sniffed it, and it smelled only of grease. I nibbled one end then threw it back into the bag. Who eats those?!

My decade quota of McDonalds has been filled now. That sandwich was really tasty, but I can imagine how fat one might get eating one of those more than a couple times a year.

I never eat sausage. But Mickey D's bacon egg & cheese biscuit is damned good.

McDonald's sausage is the only sausage I eat anymore. It's really good.

I tried Wendy's breakfast sandwiches, but their sausage sucks. Just like every other place.

I wonder what McDonald's secret is.

Next time you fatties are at your favorite troughs, ask for a list of ingredients for these 'delicious' items. Half the ingredients, if not more, are synthetic chemicals and flavors, never meant for human consumption.

And speaking of consumption, COVID19 LOVES all you pre-diabetic, high-fructose fatties.

(rolling eyes at R91)

(dismissively waving a hand at R91)

Fish frosties aside, I LOVE chocolate frosties!

Dunkin Donuts makes a sourdough breakfast sandwich with 2 eggs, white cheddar cheese and bacon. Omg. Delish.

McDonald’s - filet o fish sandwich, Shamrock shake and sausage biscuit with egg breakfast sandwich. Their biscuits are yummy and my guilty pleasure.

Thank you! Haven't been to Dunkin's in years, but I will try it for this breakfast sandwich next time I want to be bad. My memory of them is donuts and then they were "introducing" croissant sandwiches, I think. They seem almost regional. I mean, I found lots of them in the northeast. Massachusetts in particular. But in the Southeast and the Midwest not so much. Although there are a more in the Midwest than the Southeast. That's just my impression. Anyway they just faded and weren't on my radar. I think Einstein's and the other bagel places sort of overshadowed them at one point.

Dunkin Donuts: Every donut looking different and every donut tasting the same. Powdered sugared dough. If I'm hungry and one is closest to my location I'll order a bagel with butter or cream cheese and coffee or hot chocolate. Also, very food item overpriced in comparison to any fast food chain.

Dunkin came out with a "Lemon Cronut" briefly a few summers back, and it was AWESOME.

I wonder why they haven't brought it back.

[quote] McDonald’s - filet o fish sandwich

Ingredients: Water and salt

R88 I unanticipatedly lost 20 pounds over a period of 7 months by just stopping eating at McDonald's (2007) and have kept the weight off.

I was sick and in bed all day on Christmas Eve 2006 from eating two quarter-pounders with cheese the previous day, and that was what made me decide.

Popeye’s red beans and rice and a 2 piece meal

Taco Bell grilled stuffed burrito (RIP)

A Cinnabon with extra frosting

Weirdly enough, despite being a vegetarian, Arby's is maybe my favorite fast-food restaurant for three reasons: their mozzarella sticks, curly fries, and Jamocha milkshake. All three are amazing. It's my guilty pleasure.

r102 Arby's mozzarella sticks are so good, I agree with their shake and curly fries too

I've always found their roast beef to be of high quality. Just try to order it plain on a bun and not mixed up with a lot of condiments inside that messes up its taste.

As I've mentioned on the DL many times before, my go-to fast food is the Whataburger No. 2 (double meat with cheese), everything on it, mayo no mustard, add sliced jalapeños to the burger. Substitute onion rings for the fries, substitute a medium chocolate malt for the drink.

I don't indulge this more than once a month. Still more infrequently, there's a few more places that are acceptable to me in a pinch, if I just don't feel like Whataburger. These would be:

Jack in the Box's Ultimate Bacon Cheeseburger. A large order of Jalapeño Cheese Poppers, and a couple of their greasy fried tacos. No beverage.

Dominos Pizza, typically the three topping for $7.99. My favorite is pepperoni, jalapeño, and pineapple.

Panda Express: Orange Chicken, Kung Pao Chicken, and Chow Mein. I don't get their egg rolls because they only do chicken, and I prefer pork.

Chicken Express Spicy Tenders, a double order of fried okra; mashed potatoes, gravy, and biscuits. Infrequently.

Long John Silvers Fish and hushpuppies, with a bottle of malt vinegar (I make my own tartar sauce at home). I only do this once a year.

If there was an Arby's near me, i'd be hitting it up for their: 1) beef and cheddar on the onion roll and 2) gyro. i just went to their website and it looks like they added two other gyros, which i'd love to try. Wish there was one closer to me.

I love the Arby's French Dip, got to have the au jus with it and one time I went through the drive thru and didn't check my bag and was so mad when I got home and they didn't give me the au jus after I made a point of asking for it.

I love Arby's but no matter what I eat there, I get intense intestinal pain in the middle of the night after eating there.

Since I've sampled such a broad selection of things, the only thing in common was my use of the horsey-sauce. I'm wondering if that's it, and if I should try eating there again but skip that (i put it on both sandwiches AND dip my fries in it, I love it so much). But then again, what is the point of eating at Arby's if you don't get horsey sauce?!?

Curious R105 and the other chubbos -- how much do you spend on food each month?

$500

KFC's Double Down when it happens.

Five Guys Bacon Cheeseburger.

These are the worst, but, as a fat whore, I could list so many things.

When I move back to the States next year I am going to be on My 600 lb Life in less than a month, I fear.

$1.00 pizza in NYC.

I sort of miss living in SF city - you could get almost anything. Now i live 60 miles north of the city and it sucks that there are a sad lack of Greek and Mediterranean food restaurants. It's very annoying.

BK Impossible whopper and 5 guys fries.💣

i'm with r114, i am not a fan of BK's fries. My best possible combo is that there is a McDonald's next to the In N Out so i can get the best burger and the best fries.

I like frys that look and taste like a potato. Most of the frozen fries are pretty just acceptable. 5 guys are good: freshly made from scratch.

I love BK's fries.

I miss fast food! I quit that poison at 40 and have never felt better (I’m now 51) But I did love to indulge in a big, juicy Whooper from Burger King, “tacos” from Jack in the Box, red beans and rice from Popeye’s, and of course McDonalds French fries.

I can't imagine why I'd want to "live longer" if I had to live that longer time without fast food.

r116 all the fries i've ever had from 5 Guys were not fried long enough...they are always limp and not the least bit crispy, i like my fries to have a bit of crisp on them. I do like their little cheeseburgers though (i am not a fan of 2 patties on a burger, it's just too much meat for me).

Arby’s curly fries McDonald’s McNuggets and Fries—when my grandpa used to pick me up from school, he would sometimes bring me this as well as milkshakes. Sometimes two days in a row :) Bojangles chicken biscuit and bo rounds Taco Bell hard shell tacos

r118 i've always been embarrassed to admit that i like Jack In The Box's "tacos." i am sure it's not real meat, probably some soy based stuff. i think they are really good with their processed cheese slice, little bit of lettuce and the hot sauce. Typing this out makes them sound horrid, but i really like them. don't think i've had those for at least 2 years now.

R120 i’ve had pretty good luck with 5 guys frys. Mostly I get them crispy where I live, but i think the do the double cooking or blanching method and their is a bit of skill required.

Damn!!! You bitches got me hungry now.

May or may not be eating a Popeye's chicken sandwich because of this damn thread.

Ha ha! if that damn Arby's wasn't 10 miles away, i'd be eating a gyro right now.

I get BK onion rings because their fries are not that great.

I likes the KFC chicken sandwich better than the Popeyes. Thankfully I don't have the money to spend so I do most of my own cooking because if I had money to burn I would be buying restaurant food all the time.

r118/r122 I had a coworker who would insist on getting Jack in the Box tacos as soon as we got off the plane on business trips to CA. Are they really that good?

R129 - Oh baby they are amazing hot and fresh out of the frying oil. There’s really nothing else like them. Definitely not what you know as a traditional “taco.” When you want to abuse your body with greasy American late night indulgence, this is it.

potato chips.

sorry, don't get into fast-food

R129 they are delish & don’t taste like a normal taco, the meat is a bit “off” & they’re kinda flat & very greasy, in the best possible way.

they are greasy as hell and tasty as hell. i probably have them every 2 years or so.

Any of you bitches had some Friday fast food? i doordashed myself chicken taquitos smothered with sour cream, cheese and guacomole. Fucking delicious.

Nah, I made myself some egg & cheese biscuits at home. Inspired by fast food, sorta, but better.

It used to be Cheesy Gordia Crunches, but Taco Bell discontinued them.

Pissed off that Taco Bell discontinued the double decker taco supreme (soft tortilla spread with refrieds wrapped around a regular taco supreme). this was the only thing that i would go to TB for in later years. i haven't eaten there for at least 4 years now.

Taco Bell loves to discontinue everything that I like there. It's really annoying.

the CEOs must be golfing buddies with Trader Joes, r138

Attention DL slobs - please check out the Sally Struthers thread once you're done drooling here.

I like those little pizzas that Pizza Hut makes in Targets, or Rest Areas. I know they are just frozen, but for some reason, they hit the spot.

Won't you please Save the Children … some leftovers? And spare some for me while you're at it!

R69 Yes, White Castle tastes different because the meat is steamed not grilled.

We don't have a lot of fast food in Vermont -- McD, BK, Wendy's, Subway, DD. I miss Arby's and Taco Bell from when I lived in California.
