Patatje oorlog + kikastick. "Patatje oorlog" literally means "fries war" but it's just fries with mayonnaise and peanut sauce. The 'kika' is short for kip-kalkoen (chicken-turkey) and it's just meat chunks on a stick with onion slices in between and a crispy jacket. Thanks for the question, now I'm hungry.

I love spending holidays in the Netherlands - and the lekker fast food is one of the reasons. Fries with SatΓ©saus and I'm happy!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

A&W Teen Burger with root beer and onion rings. There's something nostalgic about it for me, used to go out for them with my dad when I was a kid.

Also will always have a soft spot for a Big Mac combo at McDonald's. It isn't good but damn if isn't satisfying.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Spicy chicken sandwich. It's the only thing on the menu as far as I'm concerned. Except at McDonald's, theirs is prodigiously mid.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wendy's used to be the best. But they've raised the price and cut the size in pretty much half. Not worth it anymore. The Members Mark frozen spicy chicken filets at Sam's Club are a great replacement in the air fryer.

Does Subway count, or are we just thinking burger joints?

I get a veggie on Italian herb bread, toasted with whatever cheese option sounds the least fake. I ask for all the veggies except pickles and maybe jalapenos depending on if I'm sharing, and the house sauce with added pepper.

I know people that get one or two things on their sandwich only, but at that point I'm not sure why you would pay somebody else to make it.

I'll try to make this a little more fun. Try to guess the restaurant based on the order. Got it? Alright, let's go!

Double quarter pounder with cheese and a large fry. Sometimes I'll get two cheeseburgers instead of the DQP. Usually also get an apple pie or two.

Meat and potato burrito and a large potato ole.

Double butter burger with cheese and the works and a regular fry. Usually get a turtle sundae as well.

Mushroom and swiss burger and a large curly fry.

I figured out how to do spoilers so here are the answers.

::: spoiler McDonald's Taco John's Culver's Hardee's :::

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Mushroom and swiss burger and a large curly fry.

I don't know where this is but I really want to; it's hard to find a decent mushroom swiss burger around here that doesn't cost $18.

[–] StrikerMack 4 points 1 year ago

Hardee's. It's pretty good; if you ever get a chance, try it. Hardee's goes by a different name in different parts of the US. I'm not sure but the name Carl's Jr comes to mind.

[–] schmalls 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Pretty sure the first one is McDonald's, but don't know about the ones. So I'll just guess on places I don't really go to. Taco Mayo? Five Guys? Dairy Queen?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Second one is probably Taco John's.

Third I'm pretty sure is Culver's.

No clue on the fourth. But you're clearly a Midwesterner. I'm not originally from here and I have controversial opinions on Taco John's.

[–] StrikerMack 1 points 1 year ago

I don't frequent Taco John's, but I usually enjoy the food when I do go there.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)
  1. McDonalds
  2. Taco Johns
  3. Culvers?
  4. Hardees? (least sure on this one)
[–] StrikerMack 1 points 1 year ago

Yes. I figured this would be easier for Midwesterners since Culvers is mostly (if not exclusively) in the Midwest.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Why, oh why is it not called half pounder?

[–] StrikerMack 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The burger patties are 4 ounces. So it's double quarter pounder. Otherwise they'd need two types of patties, this is more efficient and probably cheaper.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well that makes sense but isn’t nearly as fun. And two patties is still half a pound, right?

Three impossible sliders with cheese, onion chips, mozzarella sticks, and if I'm really ~~stoned~~ hungry, a cheesecake on a stick.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

What are impossible sliders?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sliders are White Castle burgers, kinda like Krystal if you have those, they're small and square. Impossible is a brand of vegetarian meat substitute, Burger King has an Impossible Whopper that's pretty good too.

[–] Eczpurt 1 points 1 year ago

My guess would be plant based meat on a slider bun.

[–] Flyspeck 4 points 1 year ago

BK: Impossible Whopper w/cheese+fries. Barq's Root Beer if I get the value meal.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Anything that is spicy and chicken. Fries are a plus.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I love a double quarter pounder but I’ve boycott Maccas*. Double cheeseburger from Hungry Jacks^ does the job though.

  • McDonald’s ^ Burger King for Australians
[–] kwoodall 3 points 1 year ago

Popeyes spicy chicken sandwich, no pickle. Damn, that's a good sandwich.

I loved the old Taco Bell taco salad, no cheese and no shit cream with extra beef.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

i notice plenty of redditers routinely slam subway, but there's two orders i regularly get that i find delicious, nutritious, low-cal, and reasonably-priced--

first is a six inch italian herb roll with ham, turkey, all veggies, and chipotle dressing on the side for six bucks. i bring it home, toast it two mins a side in my air fryer, then sprinkle on red pepper flakes and add the dressing.

second is a salad with bbq chicken on top for about 9 bucks. i bring it home, hit it with some ghost pepper dressing and some grated parm. perfect.

not totally sure, but i get the sense that people typically compare subway to deli-style sandwiches, and that's just not their strength, especially for meat and cheese eaters. subway is really more like vegetarian-style food with a little 'cheat meat' on top, and you can pretty much have them add unlimited veggies if you want for no extra charge.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Double roast beef combo with curly fries and a diet Dr Pepper. I love Arby's.

[–] duckgoesquakk 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Flying Dutchman on top of animal fries is my In-N-Out combo; I like to top the animal fries with the double patty and cheese and make french fry nachos.

[–] NewNewAccount 2 points 1 year ago

Going to have to try this! An in-n-out version of carne asada fries.

[–] cali 3 points 1 year ago

A spicy chipotle chicken burrito, chips & guac, and an horchata at El Pollo Loco. Hits the spot every time

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Italian BMT from Subway is my go-to sandwich.

[–] RomanRoy 1 points 1 year ago

I loved Subway, but they got more expensive and I feel like all the sandwiches taste absolutely the same now.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Taco Bell - The cheesy gordita crunch is a staple. Used to be I'd get the quesarito each time as well but that's gone now. Their newish Steak grilled cheese burrito is good as well.

McDonalds - Big Mac is all well and good but if you order in person you can ask them to add Mac Sauce to the other burgers and sandwiches. So a couple McDoubles with Mac sauce is basically a cheaper Big Mac without the excessive Lettuce and without the middle bun.

Wendy's - Spicy chicken sandwich (the old style one)

Burger King - I like the Big King, otherwise it's whatever I feel like at the time.

Most of the other places I'll just order depending on how I feel as well.

[–] schmalls 2 points 1 year ago

foot long, Italian herbs and cheese, spicy Italian, pepper jack, double toasted; lots of onion, bell pepper, jalapenos, ranch, oregano.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Two steamies, large poutine and a coke.

[–] bmovement 1 points 1 year ago

Can’t go wrong with a #1, no matter where you are.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Writing this out is revealing to me that I probably order too much fast food. πŸ™ˆ

  • A&W, when I can make it there: Beyond Meat Teen Burger with fries and a root beer
  • Harvey's (tied with A&W for Canada's best ff chain IMO): Original Burger with cheese, or Impossible Burger. Both are great!
  • Taco Bell, back when I lived near one: chicken chalupas

Now that I no longer live close to those chains, it's basically just McDonald's when I want fast food. I typically get the 10 piece McNuggets with fries combo, and I give my spouse the pop :)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Double Buddy with cheese, no onion, no mayo

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

When I go to Waffle House, I start off with a pecan waffle then move onto a cheese steak hash brown bowl with double cheese steak and no onions.

From taco bell I always get two cheesy bean and rice burritos, supreme soft taco, and a another random burrito or something that looks good. I also always get the box combo with the cheese fries
