Fast Food Downfall!
1. As a general rule, I am not a fan or a regular consumer of fast food. It's something I eat in rare circumstances when convenience legitimately renders it the most practical choice, but I believe my friend Doug put it best when he referred to a quick stop (while trying to get to our destination, a ski resort, ASAP) as "dinner of shame."
2. As a general rule, if I have to eat fast food, I prefer Wendy's. For some reason, it just seems a little fresher and tastier.
3. The exception to these "general rules"? McDonald's breakfast. For reasons I cannot fathom or explain, I am a SUCKER for a sausage biscuit and a hash brown stick. It's one of the only good things about flying out of O'Hare early in the morning - I have an excuse to eat McDonald's breakfast. However, that probably happens only 2-3 times per year, if that.
Items 2 and 3 seem to be forming something of a perfect storm in my life: the Wendy's that I walk past every day on my way to work recently became one of the locations testing the breakfast menu. I have, thus far, resisted the temptation to actually try a frescuit... but I fear this could be my fast food downfall.

I think McDonald's has Wendy's beat on the breakfast foods, probably the trans-fatty goodness. :)

i walk by the wendy's on division, and today they were OUT IN THE STREET waiving signs at me...as if it hasn't been hard enough to ignore so far.
i think i'm gonna cave soon.

Ah, the Wendy's on Division is the one I walk by, too! However, I have just started a new job whose commute doesn't necessitate the blue line, so I'm not over there nearly so often... hopefully I'll be able to resist!

Wait until you get the coupons in the mail for some free items. They try to get you just like the drug dealers do. :)
