Actually, yeah. Mucho Burrito and Nandos are awesome. Not sure if you guys consider them fast food but they're food and it was fast. Thunder Bay just doesn't have much choice. The best fast food here is only from local restaurants, not chains. Still pretty high in sodium and saturated fats though, at least the things I buy. Two servings of Mughlai chicken is a nutritional disaster compared to the half ounce of duck and boiled greens you get at a sit down restaurant for $30. We have a local place called Burger Barn that's basically Harveys but the toppings are put on in the kitchen, and the buns are home made regularly through the day so they're always fresh.
You guys down east also have some crappy fast food too though.
I used to go occasionally for their two-for-$5 chicken sandwiches, but they started to get really lax on hygiene and food quality—like, really lax—and I haven't been back in years. Last time I went was a farewell lunch with a friend of mine before he went to UK for contract work, because that's what gays do when they're saying goodbye for a year.
I know it's really embarrassing to say this publicly, but I actually kind of like Arby's.
Arby's doesn't have very many locations around here, but if I'm hungry with one nearby, that's where I'm going.
I must say, I've never thought of them as being hideous. And I do appreciate the practicality of these kinds of Tims. The ones I've gone to are in large shopping centre parking lots that are so big that it looks better to have this standing there than unoccupied parking spaces. Especially when there is no alternative coffee shop within the vicinity.
I don't mind having Arby's once in a while. When I lived in Burlington, the one on Fairview was on the way back from the GO station so I'd get that like once every couple of months. And I've had it twice in the past few months when I happened to be visiting a buddy who lives across the street from there.
And my boss at work likes it and this past winter for some reason he took his family of 5 on a work night in the pouring rain to that location from his house in Mississauga. A 45 minute trip in traffic and rain just to get there.
