Not sure how many of you saw my McDonald’s rant yesterday lol but I’m a curious person and always love to dabble around in experimentation. Being that I’m now doing super long hikes and building up some muscle, I’ve been more open than before to grabbing a small portion of unhealthy food to give me that quick spike in glucose prior to hard exercise. Not doing this every day but maybe once per month.

That said: I’ve already got the McGriddle and Taco Bell’s breakfast crunchwrap on my sights. I feel like I wont like either LOL but y’know what? Doesn’t hurt to take two bites and throw it away, just like I did with that awful McDonald’s hashbrown yesterday.

What do you recommend?

There's a local burger joint called Gary's that serves the best damn breakfast biscuits I've ever had.

Other than that, maybe KFC original recipe, with a side of mashed potatoes & gravy and a biscuit, and some extra gravy for dipping the biscuit in or adding more to the potatoes (I just really love their gravy). That's been my most frequent go-to fast food meal over the past 40 years. Probably helped that the KFC was literally just outside my grandparents' back yard (it got fenced off in the 90s, though).

I don't know if this counts, but on holiday in Asia, I love local street food.

I'm gonna also add as a note-to-self: Cracker Barrel. I used to go there all the time as a child for the Webkinz lol. Never really liked the food, but I feel like the ole-timey asthetic would make for a very memorable experience! Just gotta see what they sell that's good for a one time visit.

I don't get much fast food, maybe twice a year if on a long road trip. Five Guys or Culvers burgers and fries are the best imo in the USA.
