Zagat and the battle of the chains

[Robin Garr]

Lots of interesting stuff to chew on here as Zagat unveils the results of its national polls on favorite fast-food chains in a variety of categories.

Note well that these are unscientific polls, and that Zagat doesn't earn much respect among "foodies." It's still fun to look over the rankings in their final results.

<b>Zagat fast food survey</b>

I hit the FF places maybe 2 or 3 times a year when I'm in charge of the nieces and nephews. I don't mean to sound elitist, I just prefer to take my business to locals wherever I am.
Except- I can't pass a DQ without wanting one of their chocolate malts. The combo of the soft custard and the powered malt takes me back to my youth, I guess. And they only use the powder- not the liquid that tastes like car sludge.
Also, Hooters in the top five for service? What is up with that I wonder?????
Can't wait to hear what others say.

I especially liked the outtakes on the sidebar.

Outtakes from the Survey

Good-tasting, if only until your left ventricle finally gives out.
Love the cheese-flavored plastic.
E. coli is free with every order.
Best consumed drunk.
It's hard to tell where the food stops and the Styrofoam containers begin.
The only thing healthy about the place is the exit door.
They should be cited for posing as a restaurant.
Not sure they use real cows.
Responsible for the downfall of modern civilization.
Staff seems in some sort of psychic pain.
