Down south we have this place called Zaxbys. Really good. 

For America as a whole though, Chick Fil A is king. 😛

Forgot to mention the GOAT that's accessible all across the US though...

I've never been to the Deep South. Then again, I believe Harvey's, which is among the very best burger-and-fries chains I've ever eaten at, is only in Canada.

Zaxby's is an interesting mesh of a lot of things. Chicken mostly, but Chicken, Fries, Texas Toast, Chicken Wings, stuff like that. And strong sweet tea. Southern cooking with a hint of southwestern/texan style kinda food.

Is toast different in Texas?

It's a style of toast that originated there I believe. Basically its toast, but it's cooked on a griddle or stove top. Typically it's smothered in butter, and garlic, sometimes cheese. At Zaxbys it's usually just a thick slice of bread, butter grilled into it, and it's very crunchy. 😛 

It's a very thick slice of bread. 

Looks like this: 

Texas Toast Garlic Bread Recipe - Home. Made. Interest.

It looks suspiciously like the, "garlic toast," that's a side to pasta or parmesan dishes in Italian restaurants, here. 🤨

That's honestly basically what it is.

Some random woke activist: Boycott Cancel Zaxby's, an evil corporation from the racist South discriminating against Italians! This shows the hidden systematic anti-Italian racism in fast food restaurant companies.

The south is spoiled with Chick-Fil-a, Zaxby's, and Canes

Of the given options, Burger King has the best burger. McDonalds has the best ice cream (though a Wendy's frosty is very good). Wendy's has the best deals (4 for $4).

But Culver's is the best overall option. 5 Guys is solid (though pricey). Shake Shack is also solid (but pricey).

In Ohio we have a place called Swensons that has fantastic burgers and the best jalapeño poppers. Their milkshakes are also great all with fresh ingredients.

Also Ohioan by Ashland. Is it worth the 1:25hr drive? I got tomorrow off and a full tank of gas.

Which Burger? The Whopper? They’re doing a deal for 2 for $6 right now and I’m loving it

Only chains I go to for food in any sense are: 

- Taco Bell

- Subway

- Dunk'n Donuts

- Starbucks

The latter two are for coffee and only when an independent coffee shop isn't nearby. I don't go out of my way to go to Subway, but it is like a twice a year place. Taco Bell might be the only "regular."

I dont really like Taco Bell. But when I go, it's for the baja blast mountain dew. 😎

Yes, the Whopper. I hadn’t heard about that deal, but I might have to take advantage of it sometime soon!

In theory, I love McDonalds and Burger King.  But they're both so hit-and-miss.  Sometimes it's delicious.  Sometimes it's inedible.  There's no quality control.  Same with Subway.

Wendy's used to be my absolute favorite -- I'd go twice a day, sometimes.  And when I came back from Iraq, the very first thing I did was walk to Wendys, even though it was an hour long walk.

But they changed their fries and now they're terrible.
