I got some chicken from church's today, and saw that they had something called purple pepper sauce, so I had to try it. It was horrific. Basically spicy grape jelly. Lucky for me, I stuck a finger in it to check it out before I put it on anything. I know Church's is sort of ghetto, but that's ridiculous.

Church's Chicken was the only restaurant that made me vomit from just eating their foods so.. yeah, Church's Chicken.

Dude... if I want some fast, soulful southern chicken... Churchs is the place to go. Oh... and a gallon of their sweet tea.

ummm... any time i go to a fast food place that isnt subway, bad arse jacks, or taco del mar, or quiznos...

everything else is aweful...

in the states, honestly, some how every version of fast food tastes even worse... up here, since we dont have the pink goo and so on in our mc D's, there has been the occational time when I am drunk enough to stomach it... every mc d's in the states I go to makes me want to hurl just from the smell... cant bring myself to eat it, never have.

Hey, we don't have pink goo anymore, either.

I miss my non-specific animal slurry.

Pop Eye's red beans and rice is not only good, but it will clean out all of your body cavities.

When I was working at a college, we once ordered some dubious looking make your own tacos/burritos spread from a local place, if Mexican take-out can be considered "fast food".

Anyway, it gave me my only case to date of food poisoning. Next to appendicitis, I've never been so sick in my life. All I could do for 2 days was crawl to the bathroom, where I would simultaneously vomit into the garbage can while while my bowels helplessly unleashed themselves; and the violent spasms from one end caused the other to re-trigger in a hellish, seemingly never-ending crescendo of horror. Unbelievable.

The burritos were pretty solid though, previous to that. 2 stars.

I almost ate a McDonalds burger once... almost. One bite in and I'd tasted cardboard, synthetic cheese and whatever that stuff is they put in that is not mayonnaise. I generally have a dsilike of all fast-food, but that experience stands out as the worst. The worst part is that I was just about to be camping, and having spent a day putting tents up in the cold and the wet, I was really looking forward to food.

The only fast-food I've ever liked is subway, their BBq sauce/chicken/bacon 12" baguettes are awesome.

The only fast food that ever made me sick was from Taco Bell, and it was just the one time. The only place I will not go is Burger King. Everything they have is terrible.

Taco Bell is the worst fast food joint.

The food stinks in every one I've been to and they ALWAYS get my order wrong if I go through the drive through.

After a series of food poisoning incidents and otherwise horrible food, I've sworn off fast food. Yup, now all my lunch breaks are spent in the pub like a sensible person.

Wendy's have yet to get an order of mine right

Steak & Shake has the record for the fastest time between the plate and spraying the inside of a toilet bowl

Burgerking. I was looking for something in the realm of dice bucks. I saw a burger for 5.12. I order it. I get it. I start to cry. It is so small I finish it in 2 bites. Seriously depressing. I looked like a giant eating a kids meal wRong that thing. 5 times I have fallen for that.

Yeah, I've gotten some pretty good food from bars. My favorite place went out of business though, a bunch of the businesses nearby changed from those that hired real working folks to those that hire financial types, and they stayed away because it wasn't snooty enough. It was replaced with an Applebee's and I would starve before eating there again.

Just wait till you've tried White Castle's sliders.

I concur. We have a Steak & Shake here, and sometimes (rarely) I really crave their special brand of greasy food, but I never get it if I have work or plans anytime soon. Consequence are usually swift and severe.

Such delicate stomachs you lot have.

On the road to Florida my wife wanted me to try them. A three day long drive just didn't seem the best time to tempt fate

When I lived in the gangsta paradise of Southern Cali, they had a burger/fast joint next to the bar behind which I lived. I'd get their steakburger which was a strip of fajita steak on a Po boy bun. It was awesome. About one in six times I'd get stomach poisoning (in fact I thought my burst appendix was another bought of such).

It was worth it.

I've never really had an issue with fast food. It's not particularly healthy but I don't eat it to be healthy...

There is a chain of Mexican fast food hovels in my area called Alberto's. They are awesome and they are poisonous. Every second or third time I eat there something goes wrong with either my order or my bowels (or both!).

One memorable mishap involved a bean & cheese burrito. I was about two or three bites in when I encountered a rather thick mass that had the consistency of a kitchen sink sponge. To my horror what I pulled out looked exactly like a melted sponge, but upon further inspection turned out to be what I think was congealed cheese that had cooked too long in a vat of beans. Or feth, perhaps it was a sponge I never did determine what exactly I had bitten in to. Either way that meal put the kibosh on my Alberto's runs. And my Alberto's runs.

As an employee or a customer?

As an employee we had this one family who'd come in one a week, order a massive order of food, go sit and eat 3/4 of it, then come back up and demand a refund because it wasn't made the way they ordered it.

It got to the point where I would personally take the order, and then make the food myself to make sure it was exactly as they ordered it, and they'd still pull the crap. Policy at the time was we had to give in and refund them. Drove me nuts.

As a customer, I can't really say. I've had a number of extremely horrible circumstances, but none are really jumping to my mind right now.

Yeah, all the main menu items at BK are overpriced.

However, unlike McDonalds they actually have some good stuff on the value menu. A little over a dollar for a double cheeseburger is not bad.

When the KFC opened up at the one local mall, I gave into temptation and instantly regretted it...

First time, took a bit into a drumstick and the thing started bleeding profusely... needless to say a spit-take later I went up an demanded a refund.

Second time, (because I apparently just had to have a blond moment & it was Twoonie Tuesday), opened up my box and found a giant wad of what looked like penis hair right smack in the middle of my chicken.
Took it right back for another refund, and this time the moron on cash even had the audacity to ask me, "well, what do you expect me to do about it?"
Suffice it to say I demanded to see a manager and enquired why their staff were stupid enough to think that testicle hair was a healthy side dish.



I'll also never eat at a Villa Madena's anywhere, as the first one to open at the other large mall in town did so without a working refer.
They were actually keeping their meat product 'refrigerated' by heaping the packages of salad greens on top of it.

You know when the Health Inspector shows up to inspect/audit a place on a Sunday that there's serious problems!

Eating at Arby's.

I wish it came in a can like whipped cream. Could just spray yourself a mouthful and keep on truckin'.

Taco Bell and Subway.

Been once, will never go again.

God created Taco Bell to train the Faithful!

I got served raw chicken at Wendy's once (spat it out, no harm done, thank God). Also got food poisoning from some bad pepperoni at Subway. Yes, apparently pepperoni CAN go bad. My stomach also can't handle the grease bomb that is KFC chicken.

Airplane food. Not fast food but still awful to me.
