Food is life! There is nothing more satisfying than a bag of greasy, fast food fries. My family and I have traveled across the country twice, trying out all kinds of new foods and restaurants. Here are some of my all-time favorites, ranked from ten to one.
Note: My dad is allergic to red meats such as beef and pork, so I have excluded predominantly burger places.
10. Sonic Drive-In
If you've never been to a drive-in restaurant, Sonic is a great place to start. With candy flavored milkshakes and roller skating employees, it sends off huge 80s vibes. While my siblings usually devour Sonic's foot-long chili dogs, I'd recommend their honey barbeque popcorn chicken.9. IHOP
Who doesn't love the International House of Pancakes?! Just the smell of bacon and eggs in the morning is mouth watering. I often let my greed take over and order much more than I can actually eat. Their pancakes are enourmous.
8. Subway
When I was younger, my dad would come home from work every day holding a Subway bag with half a giant-sized chocolate chip cookie at the bottom. I had wholeheartedly believed these delicious monster cookies were purchased in a literal subway. Yes. With a train and everything. You can imagine how shocked I was eating at a Subway restaurant for the first time. I decided to stick with a simple turkey and lettuce sandwich. However, when I began adding cucumbers and jalapeños to my order, I soon learned that more is good.
7. Panda Express
For as long as I can remember, orange chicken has been dubbed "favorite chicken" by my family, and the only places to find good "favorite chicken" are at my house and Panda Express. Honestly, that's all I can tell you about this restaurant because that is all I ever order.
6. Jack in the Box
There aren't many Jack in the Box locations along the East Coast, but my taste buds will never forget the taste of their warm, cinnamon-filled churros. Quite different from the dry, flavorless bread you'd find in amusement parks, Jack in the Box churros are one of a kind.
5. Popeyes
I still remember the Popeyes chicken sandwich craze like it was yesterday. We visited at least three Popeyes restaurants in one state in the hopes of trying their new fried chicken sandwich. Unfortunately, none of the locations had received the packaged food yet, so we were forced to wait a few weeks. When I finally got my hands on one, it had certainly lived up to the hype.
4. Cook Out
Cookout is known for its tempting variety of milkshakes. Moving to California, I almost had a heart attack when I found out there were no Cookout locations on the West Coast. Where else could I order an orange push-up milkshake, a watermelon milkshake, or the family's favorite: peach cobbler milkshake?
3. Auntie Anne's
If there is one restaurant that can take on Cinnabon, it's Auntie Anne's. I'd take their buttery cinnamon sugar pretzels over a cinnamon roll any day.
2. Panera Bread
Panera is my go-to restaurant between soccer games. It has a somewhat healthy menu with nothing too greasy that would sit in my stomach and weight me down, all while still tasting amazing! My favorite item is their cherry vanilla bagel, only available in autumn.
1. Chick-fil-A
Finally, the best of the best. My family and I have Chick-fil-A every year for my birthday. Not only is their chicken simply impossible to duplicate, but Chick-fil-A is also well-known for its sauces. I douse my entire meal in spicy sriracha until I sweat and my nose runs. Others might prefer the original "Chick-fil-A sauce." Nevertheless, a Chick-fil-A sandwich is a surefire way to grab my attention.
Eat more chicken! Save more whopper!
