I also swear that I don't work for or have any financial interest in Wendy's!

I like Wendy's but prefer A&W's toppings and seasoning. Both are pretty good meat-wise though.

How so? They only have 5 locations. Also not everybody wants a healthy breakfast, in fact most people grabbing breakfast on the go want something comforting and maybe even a bit greasy. Copper Branch looks like Kupfert and Kim here in Toronto. Yummy but way over priced for what you get.

I rarely eat at restaurants anymore due to severe dietary restrictions so my idea of a quick healthy breakfast is oatmeal mixed with flaxseed & almond milk: takes about 3 minutes to make.

I have eaten at Uptown Waterloo's Copper Branch in the past. Really my favourite fast food restaurants were falafel/pizza joints like Chito's, Me Va Me, Blaze & Pi Co.

Anyone seen the ads for Subway Mac And Cheese yet?

I ask you all, how does one mess up a grilled cheese sandwich? Somehow it tasted like mold dumped in an 80 year old grease trap (and even that is way to generous!). Never again!

I tried a free sample of one of those in Kingston when they were first introduced in 2013. I actually had to grab napkins and spit it out, it tasted so bad.

My guess is that McDonald's is so ubiquitous an institution that it's too big to fail. Stratford, where I live, has two of them. One of them is open 24 hours. We also have two Subways (one of them open 24 hours), but none of the other fast food franchises have more than one outlet here.

Tim Hortons doesn’t even have a downtown location anymore right? There’s other good coffee options in downtown Stratford though.

I was in Ohio last weekend and went into a Walmart. I bought an apple fritter from the bakery. It was way better than anything Tim Hortons tries to pass off as an apple fritter. The only apple fritter I’ve had better than at Walmart is a tie between Granddad’s Donuts in Hamilton, and Coffee Way in Kingston - I think they may have the same recipe.

When Walmart is doing donuts 1000 times better than Tim Hortons, you know Tim’s donuts are bad.

Heres what Maclean’s has to say about it

Because I’ve always thought, boy wouldn’t it be great if Tim Hortons served lasagna

.

Coming soon from Tim Hortons:

- Pad Thai
- Tacos
- Pizza
- Roast Duck
- Sushi
- Hot dogs
- Liver and onions
- Head cheese sandwiches
- Haggis (Celebrate Robbie Burns and the start of Roll Up the Rim to end January!)
- Gym mat and grade F meat sandwiches (mostly circus animals, some filler)

I love 22 minutes. Here is their latest parody ad of Tim's:

I love the slogan he uses at the end: "Tim Hortons. Are we doing this right?" Describes the current Tim's to a tee.

, in my opinion the burger was the last straw. Also they already sell gym mat and grade F meat sandwiches!

McDonald’s has very frequent coupons that bring the price down. They also hare the best value menu.
I never get their full priced beef sandwiches though. If I eat their, it’s usually the filet o fish.
