How Chipotle Changed American Fast Food Forever

There it is.

That's what we always did when I was growing up... ride down to 7-11 and buy Slurpees and other goodies.

The reason why 7-11 really isn't that special any longer is because gas stations and convenience stores eventually became the same thing.

 

I'd be down with that, considering I haven't been to Wendy's in a long time.

With that said, Carl's Jr. and Whataburger are better burger joints.

 

Sheetz > Wawa

Breakfast whenever you want it tips the scales.

 

Wawa's cheesesteaks are that good? There are Wawa's popping up all over Orlando now and I hadn't gone in yet because I thought it was just another convenience store. But if they have really good cheesesteaks, I'll have to give them a try.

 

I haven't been in a Sheetz since college. Never saw one outside of Western PA.
They were not better than Wawa then. Not even close.

 

They're pretty good, but saying they're the closest you can get to authentic more than 100 miles from Philly is crazy. They probably make the 3rd or 4th best cheesesteak just in my shitty town.

Then again, the cheesesteaks I've had in Philly (but probably not from the right places DURRR!!!) were pretty disappointing and didn't exactly set a high bar.

 

I'm surrounded by WaWas and hardly ever go. I went a lot when I first moved to the area, but then realized their hoagies are pretty overrated and found other places near work and home to go.

Now Wegmans - Wegmans is the motherfucking truth. Best grocery store around.

 

The beauty of the Wawa hoagie is quality plus convenience.
When I go to visit family and want a hoagie, I'm going to DiStefano's or Cacia's (Talutto's is closed, so sad, while Subway pops up all over the place).
But DiStefano's and Cacia's aren't open at 2:30 a.m.

Wawa makes a very acceptable hoagie, and at 2:30 a.m. it's a great hoagie.

 

McDonald's breakfast share is amazing.

Saw an article, can't find the link, that said one out of five people eat breakfast at McDonald's daily and the revenue they get just from breakfast is more than Taco Bell generates on all sales annually.

I could see them getting out of the dinner business at some point because people have so many choices but breakfast is almost so big, they can't fail.

 

From your place to Fredvegas? We're feeling awfully optimistic, aren't we?

 

I love 7-11. I cried when they left my metro area. I yearn to visit cities where they still purvey a wealth of incredible goodness. The rest of those places mentioned... huh? Never heard of 'em. WTF is a "Wawa"?

 

Oh, I don't just head in that direction willy nilly. Gotta pick your spots. I've made it plenty of times in 25 minutes.
