The Spirited Seventh Heaven ...

Seriously, this is what it's come to. Come on Disney...give us something, anything. I'd take new benches at this point.

Disney just announced a major summer promotion with a new fireworks show for DHS - and yet -we think raisins are more interesting to talk about right now.

I'm just going to let that sink in for a bit.

If the closest Friendly's wasn't 40-plus miles away, I can tell you where I would have gone for ice cream tonight!

Worked at a Friendly's once upon a time. That was some good stuff.

What's more embarrassing than spending 3 weeks at a park waiting for a soft opening?

Answer: Having a story in the OS about Potterwatch reveal to the world your obsession along with your full name.

I just don't get it. Those folks are truly the embarrassing side of theme park fandom. Kinda like the folks that hung out in front of Star Tours 2.0 for days or those that left RIP flowers in front of DL's Pirates when they added Jack Sparrow. Yes, I know many of them aren't hurting anyone but if any of them are over the age of 16, they need to really think about checking into a facility.

Fair enough, but there is another thread about that. @PhotoDave219 broke that story a while back so it's old news now. Plus, I'm just greedy. I want more.

If you're talking fast food, Chick-fil-A is the only high quality food, in my opinion. They don't discount. There is a reason . . . they don't have to.

Chick Fil A, In n Out...both at the top for Fast Food here in So Cal. Chipotle isn't far behind but I'd much rather eat at the hole in the wall mexican places.

Actually, These are closer to legit wings and are much better than buffalo wild wings.. which started in ohio, and are garbage.

For chains in Ohio, I prefer Buffalo Wings and Rings. That said, I would not call BW3 garbage. They are good for what they are and offer a wide variety of sauce choices. Quaker Steak is also a god choice. Nice an meaty.

I used to like Chick-fil-A but not anymore. The food is not high quality, way too much sodium. Great customer service. There breakfast really sucks.

Hopefully PDQ will continue to expand. Freshly breaded chicken, fresh cut fries and hand scooped shakes. Puts Chick-fil-A to shame.

I don't know...those chicken minis are like crack.

There's a buffalo wings...Buffalo Wild Wings ? Here. I saw the place but haven't eaten there. Any recommendations? Is it fast food or sit down?

Well very much like what disney is doing right now, I dislike raisins all the same. Raisins not only ruin carrot cake and cinnamon swirl bread, taste gross (rubbery yet chewy and overly sweet? Gross) but they're like poison to dogs and I happen to like dogs more than I do most people. Three strikes raisins, y'all are out.

I still scratch my head when people say "this food is not legit", specially on popularized things as wings or pizza or burgers.
What is exactly the legit wing? does it need to be an specific recipe or cooking style?

Chipotle has real guacamole. Not watery or diluted. It doesn't come from a tube and look like tooth paste. I usually avoid guacamole at any chain restaurant because it usually sucks, but they do it right and you pay for it $1.50 to add it to anything. It's still not as god as fresh homemade guacamole, but for a fast food chain it's a really solid effort.

I've seen some local joints in houston texas who actually use fresh avocados, but they still dilute them with sour cream. I still have no idea why they do that... Is it a tex mex thing?
and its 1.50 as in " a side of guacamole" or just by adding a bit in your food?

 

[Cesar R M]

I should say that it's the best fast food on the planet but definitely not mexican.

How about if you guys invite me to that franchise and let a real mexican tell you right straight, if its real mexican food or not

We could always talk about this insteadView attachment 57798

But then it would start another pointless debate of universal vs Disney again, with the "usual suspects" die hard fans of each side blasting with dumb and baseless statements.

The only valid excuse (IMHO) is when the person spending these 3 weeks at waiting.. is if he's a blogger, news source or his life depended on riding that thing.

KFC definitely not soul food, but Popeyes is!

Neither is soul food for me when it comes to Chicken. My stomach can't handle KFC. I love the chicken from a local place that does carry out chicken.

I only went to Houston's Buffalo Wild Wings, so cant say much about other ones.
But its a sports-like sit down restaurant ( you can have the wings to go too).
They offer mostly sports-bar(a la wings army) like food (burgers, wings..etc..).
They have a big (in my opinion) variety of sauces for your wings, from sweet to very spicy.

I really liked the Spicy Garlic sauce there for wings.

My closest Chick-Fil-A is 45 minutes away. Our Popeyes franchisee is awful (a theme in my city, as our Sonic, BK, and DQ franchisees are also awful), and KFC is too expensive for what you get. I'm in a chicken desert.

Forget that. If you are coming all this way just being us the real stuff

 

[Phil12]

My favorite chain restaurant is Panda Express. It's very hard to find local places that serve good panda!

I'm waiting for these guys to open on the east coast:

being? you mean "bring"?

being? you mean "bring"?

Yep. I meant bring. Stupid IPad always trying to correct me.

I have a feeling that a fair share of those folks fall into the latter bucket. Must be first to visit Potter. Failure is not an option.

Chik fil A's are relatively easy to find around here but they're "uncommon" enough that when you see one, you always consider stopping. I don't think you'll ever see them oversaturate the market and lose their special-ness like McD's.

Zaxby's is alright. The chicken is good as is the zax sauce but I'm not a fan of seasoning on the fries. There are none around here so we eat there when down south. In general Chik fil A is a superior product if you ask me. Getting hungry now...luv Chik fil A
