Most small BBQ places in Arkansas cost about as much as fast food... they taste like heaven too. Gettin' half a rack for 5$ is pretty damn good.
Off of I40 across from the Flying J around Texarkana is a nice little shit hole with great BBQ. I found it by accident (needed a place to shut the truck down for the night and sleep) went and ate there, damn loads of meat, awesome sauce and it was way too much food for the price.
i'll never understand why everyone seems to think wendy's is somehow better than other places that don't serve you the world's driest meat patty on an empty bun...
As it goes for fast food anyway, I only eat pizza or sub sandwich stuff. Unless I (rarely) get a veg burger. However now that Ive been eating chicken, I had chicken nuggets from Wendys the other night.
Wendy's is just simply awesome. There is no need to explain that which obvious. Oh man, I40 exits have some of the best little shitty joints. Hell, there are some gas station BBQ places which are better than most big places. You gotta love the county as hell informal ambiance of the places too.
i seriously wonder if toledo just has shitty wendy's... i've heard so many good things about them, yet every time i go i end up seriously regretting it. unbelievably dry meat (burgers and nuggets), fewer toppings on the burgers than anywhere else, shitty fries... they do give you a gargantuan drink with your combo though... and i'm sorry, but square meat on a round bun is stupid
On the CB I learned of all these cool places, in Kentucky a place famous for thier "Bananananer Pudding" A black guy in Texas outside of Austin delivers the best fish, beans, slaw, and desert to your truck at the truck stops, a little strip club in TN off of I40 around the 101 has killer huge burgers, fries and drink for $5.00 and a 16oz steak, tator and drink for $10. I could so go on, so many nice little places here and there.
Man... if you get the right Wendy's, then the meat is always fresh and juicy and shit. The best thing to get is the Spicy Chicken. Wendy's beef isn't superb, but their chicken is by far the best in the business. The fries are average, but you can just get the chili instead... and it rocks major ass for fast food chili.
is there other fast food chili? i will give wendy's that; they have a huge menu for fast food... i'll have to give the spicy chicken a go one of these days
