Is This Fast Food?

Building our Fast Food Index was not easy. Sure some restaurants scream fast food. A restaurant like McDonald's or Subway cannot make a case that it is not fast food. But then again what differentiates something like Denny's from Ruby Tuesdays? Or for example is T.G.I Friday's fast food even though they want it to be termed "causal dining"? We have really agonized over which restaurants should be included or excluded. We take user contributions for any additions to the index, but we still do the research. The key thing seems to be if the restaurant has "quickly" made food and more than several dozen locations. Sure there can be wait staff, but if a restaurant has a drive-in, even if it sells itself as casual dining - it's fast food. For this reason we will add a place like Ruby Tuesdays. The "curb to go" is not drive in, but it's still takeout. As far as we are concerned causal dining can still be fast food, so the list may raise an eyebrow - and we want that. Adventures in Fast Food is all about discussion. I hope this clears up any confusion about what gets added or not. In the future, questionable additions may be discussed here to gather public input. Bon appetite!

A Statement About Adventures In Fast Food

I'm sure some people think we are promoting unhealthy fast food , but we're not! Not all fast food is necessarily unhealthy food. Think of places like Subway or Baja Fresh, where the focus is on vegetables and fresh foods. Sure you can make the wrong choices even at these places, but it's your choice to make. When you go to McDonalds, you could have a salad, just as easy as a Big Mac. "Adventures in Fast Food" is about the discovery of food items on fast food menus. Be it the health y or unhealthy s we welcome you to review the restaurants you frequent the items on their menus and your recommendations to those who have never been. Your reviews can be detailed or short and sweet, all we ask is that it's helpful and informative. Our goal is to be a place where customers can share their experiences. We are not affiliated with any restaurants, just fast food lovers, looking for new treats to fill our palettes.
