The family all loved Denny's breakfasts when we did our two trips to America. Cheap, big enough to keep you going til dinner and very tasty. We tried In And Out Burgers and declared them disgusting. At home we don't go anywhere near KFC or maccas or anything else like that. If we want a good burger and chips, we find a good fish and chip shop. Plenty of those around.

I'll eat a couple of hamburgers at McDonalds every now and then. Same with eating a hamburger at Jack in the Box or the local joint, Dick's Drive-In. I don't go for anything more than the small rubber mat in a bun, since it's generally a bite on the way somewhere when I just don't have time to eat real food. The only fast food I'll eat and load up on is from a tacqueria. I love good burritos. No cheese and no sour cream, though. No slimy white stuff goes on my food if I can help it, and cheese makes my nose shut down.
 
Once in awhile I'll stop at McDonalds, but I prefer two local joints.

We very rarely eat fast food these days, however. Our version is more along these lines:

My answer would be a "technical no". I eat fast food so infrequently that I can almost remember the exact occasions. The last time for me was July, 2013--ate at Wendy's. Before that, September 2008---Arby's.

Told him to blow his nose because his snot was running into some dudes dinner.

Breakfast burritos from Good Times which are pretty awesome. Once in a while Taco Bell, McD's, or Wendy's which I always regret in order of most to least regrettable. Thankfully I eat fast food less than ever before.
 
There's a film out about the fast food industry & it shows how the Micky D's burgers are made of pink sludge. It's pretty disgusting. I don't mind BK burgers, but I doubt their process is all that different.

The pink sludge thing is ancient history, relatively speaking.

I consider Cafe Yumm "fast food" because of the way they do the stuff. You walk in, order, and they bring it to your table in minutes. Same as many fast food places. Only Cafe Yumm is relatively healthy and unprocessed.
