Best Mexican "fast" food..........Taco Cabana. They're only in TX, OK, and NM but everything is made fresh right there. My friends from San Antonio say the best Mex in Dallas is TC. Whenever I fly to Dallas to work, first stop is the Taco Cabana in Irving for breakfast. Only complaint is some locations tortillas are too small.

i like Taco Cabana pretty good. we had one in Boulder for a couple months but no one went there except the CU football players from Texas near as i could tell. i go to the one in Norman when i visit my mom and used to be good for a late night drunked-up plate of barbacoa--but never EVER in the same league as the buffet at Norman's venerable Kettle (RIP) on Lindsey. this buffet STARTED at midnight.
but, mexican food in Boulder is pretty dire to begin with. saccharine lousy marg joints for the most part. NW Denver, now that's a different story.
the Santiago's franchises (around 15-20 or them) around Denver are pretty good if you just want to get something smothered with incendiary chili verde. that's the whole point of going there, they certainly aren't trying to trick you with anything else.

yup, Illegal Pete's. i'd say there was a time it was better than Chipotle, more left of center as it were.....top tier snowboard dudes and their hottie groupie chicks working there in tank top belly shirts (working those tortilla steamers, yeah!) listening to Bad Brains or Woody Guthrie....but now it's mostly just the same as Chipotle.
though i'd put both above Qdoba.

Pretty sure every Fox & Hound has a boondogglesports fantasy football Contest. Do you put picks in? If not you might want to keep it in mind for next season.KC Scott wrote:There's a sportsbar chain I've been to in the midwest called Fox and Hound - good eats and atmosphere.
1st place each week wins a $25 bar tab and 2nd place wins a $15 bar tab, between zilla and hockey mom we’ve won $135 worth of bar tabs
I'm pretty sure at the end of the season 1st place nationally wins a trip to the super bowl.
Right now I’m in 3rd locally and 6th nationally.

Finally made it do the new local Cheesecake Factory a while back. 90 minute wait times for average food with all the ambiance of a stockyard.PSUFAN wrote:The Cheesecake Factory is a God Damned Hellhole.

NOT DOWN.
The desserts were OK though.

Cheesecake Factory---Try the Chicken and Dumplings.......YUMM!!!
Best fast food is In & Out Burger. Whenever I am out west I make it a point to hit one. Expansion to the East would be nice, but might downgrade the quality. Carl's Jr was pretty kick ass from what I tried too...
Coldstone Creamery---Damn fine ice cream. The Birthday Cake Remix is incredible....
We really don't have to many Italian or Seafood chains around here. Then again with Federal Hill and Boston's North End a short drive away why would they open a Macaroni Grill. Red Lobster opened here for all of about 6 months. Needless to say New Englanders shut that place down pretty quick.
TEXAS RESIDENTS----Whats the buzz on Rudy's BBQ there? Went to the one in Round Rock and LOVED IT! Probably crap but to an east coaster it was GREAT!!
We need better mexican places up here. Qdoba just opened down the street and that was decent. There is a Baja Fresh which I had and it was good. Just a 45 minute drive though.

You could always not eat any of it.
I go hungry before I do any of the cheapass fast food. Much healthier alternative. But I guess fat fucks are guided by their stomach, not any sort of concern for their health.
So all people who occasionally eat fast food are fat fucks? Do you ever get tired of being the biggest know it all conceited asshole?

I dunno -- do you ever get tired of KYOA, Fatso? (BTW- I didn't know, and certainly couldn't envision any scenario where I'd care about your physique. But any question about it has been answered by how touchy you are about the "fat" thing... eat up, Neely 3.0)

Thats just it. You don't know. Yet you used it in a response to me. I don't know you from a hole in the wall. Would I call you fat, ugly or anything else without knowing of which I speak. Now I did call you a know it all conceited asshole. Judging by what I have seen on these boards I would say that is about spot on.
Neely8 wrote:Judging by what I have seen on these boards
Oh.
So, the standard is to judge by what one sees on these boards?
OK, I'll play...
I just saw you get all kinds of defensive when it was suggested you might be fat. Fit people don't get defensive when they're accused of being fat, they say "WTF are you talking about"... judging by what I have seen on these boards.
Enjoy that Triple Whopper with extra lard, Paully8... and don't forget to supersize it.

And I have seen 15000 posts of I am right and you are wrong. It must get tiring to be so perfect.
If a fit person is accused of being fat and says "WTF are you talking about?" Would that not be getting defensive? I mean they would be defending themself would they not? Oh yeah and you never answered the original question. Is everyone that eats fast food at all a fat fuck? Im just curious to know if you think everybody in this thread who has admitted to eating fast food is a fat fuck?
Uhm, no.Neely8 wrote:If a fit person is accused of being fat and says "WTF are you talking about?" Would that not be getting defensive?
That would be "inquiring what the fuck someone is talking about."

I'm not sure which part of "I don't fucking care" you're not understanding?
Of course if I did, I'd simply start calling them "FfffffffffffffAT!" one by one, and observe which ones react like you did... pretty simple. But I really don't care, save for the idea that it might send some of the more retarded douches here to an early grave, which would be cool.
