According to the restaurant guide publisher Zagat, it’s Wendy’s. It named the franchise the nation’s best fast-food chain based on a variety of factors.
Whatever. Here are my unscientific rankings of several outfits, with the overall winner listed last:
Wendy’s – Overall, pretty good. It does have nice alternatives like chili and baked potatoes. The best thing on its menu? Grilled chicken go-wraps.
Whataburger – Good burgers, but its low-key star is beef fajitas. They’re pricey at nearly $4 each, but darned good.
McDonald’s – Terrific snap lids on their coffee cups; very good sausage-n-egg breakfast burritos. Almost everything else leave an oily aftertaste in your mouth. Ick.
Dairy Queen – Superb ice-cream products, of course. But the chicken fingers basket with molten-hot white gravy stands out.
Jack in the Box – A vastly improved menu. Best bet? Three egg rolls with sweet-n-sour sauce. I love the tacos, but they are grease bombs.
Subway — A nice alternative to burgers, but a lot of its meats are loaded with salt and fat too. Oh, well; it worked for Jared.
And the winner is (drum roll, please) …
Taco Bell – Overall, relatively healthy chow that’s easy on the wallet. Not a lot of variety, but no one’s perfect. Pet peeve? It doesn’t serve coffee.

Me like armydilloes. They go real good with habanera sauce. They's a down-home Hardin County treat.
If you accidentally move up here to the frozen north in the State of Not Texas, you soon reach a point when you're jonesing for a taco. At that point the Taco Bell is the only thing that will save you! There IS something called Taco John's but it's too dreadful and bland for words, take it from me,please. Save yourself and stick with the Bell.
I guess I can't get a taco at a Tim Horton's, eh?
