Every one of them has a line around the block at all times.

It is a perfectly fine chicken sandwich, don't get me wrong. But lots of places have perfectly fine chicken sandwiches. I guess I just have a hard time believing that people choose their lunch based on politics or Jesus or whatever.

My kids go bananas for Raisin Canes. Again, perfectly fine chicken fingers. But c'mon, that's all they have...I don't see the appeal.

    - Glazed donut smashburgers with cheese and smoked bacon are a millennial and Gen Z craze. - Hensou - 12:37pm 8/12/25

      - Next you will be telling me the best pizza is at a gas station. 😉 [NT] - NedoftheHill - 2:53pm 8/12/25
        Never buy cologne at a gas station. [NT] - Hensou - 3:34pm 8/12/25
        If you are going for gas station pizza and coffee, might as well go for the trifecta. - NedoftheHill - 3:44pm 8/12/25
        I heard gas station sushi is pretty raw. - Hensou - 4:58pm 8/12/25
        
        I can't speak to gas-station pizza, but coffee?? - jakers - 3:08pm 8/12/25

      - Everything at Chik-fil-A tastes sweet, I don't like it. [NT] - iairishcheeks - 2:18pm 8/12/25
        Are you a bitter person? [NT] - Hensou - 2:29pm 8/12/25
        More tart than bitter. - iairishcheeks - 2:34pm 8/12/25
        You randy bumpkin! [NT] - Hensou - 2:47pm 8/12/25
      - The portions are also too small there for the price. - jakers - 12:23pm 8/12/25
        Yeah. I think they raised prices. Smaller portions, too...which might be a good thing. - NedoftheHill - 12:49pm 8/12/25
        They raised prices but so have everyone else. - WoodstockIrish - 9:00pm 8/12/25
        
        5 Guys is too close in price to a burger at a restaurant to not have it cooked the way I want it... [NT] - TakethetrainKnute - 1:06pm 8/12/25
  - Solid reporting. Thank you. [NT] - Hensou - 11:29am 8/12/25
- I like them, when done the right way. I make them on my flat top and they come out great. - TampaIrish - 10:45am 8/12/25
  - Homemade are probably better than chain places. You probably use a better grade of beef. [NT] - Hensou - 10:51am 8/12/25
