Double Rainbow Ice Cream! Haven't had it in years but remember it fondly.

French fry soup--the "broth" being melted chocolate ice cream.

Oberweis ice cream, especially birthday cake flavor.

So craving something sweet now..!

That's junk food? LOL. My meaning of junk food is slightly different than yours but that does sound delicious.

I love Taco Bueno and Taco Cabana for fast food favorites. Plus a Whataburgar with extra onions. Like Sonic, too. Chili cheese coney dog with onions.

I generally cook at home these days but I do just love junk food as well!

B&R has a new lo fat Dulce De Leche....weird but I have been getting a scoop of both those flavors and mixing them for the last month. It's a small world I guess.

When in California, In and Out Burger-Animal style!

I eat junk when I travel (and sometimes at home).

White wine, cheese and Wheat Thins...almost daily.

Ice cream (mostly choc.), but especially Blue Bell Banana Split.

Kentucky Fried Chix...dark meat (mostly drumsticks)...but have given it up for the most part.

There's an ice cream company with HQ in Tuttle, OK called Braum's. It has the best dairy I've ever had, and if you're near one, you gotta go there. IMHO, their best product is German Chocolate Ice Cream. Haven't had it in a decade since I no longer live there. They do ship w/ dry ice, but I can't pay the $75 shipping freight. LOL

Further kudos for Five Guys Burgers & Fries.

Awl4knot

A good cheesesteak does it for me

Not saying it is "bad" but I've been underwhelmed the few times I've been to Five Guys. Fatburger is another chain that I've not been impressed with

The Varisty is horrible. It is an ATL landmark so the out of towners will want to try it. It is so bad I usually won't eat & instead just nurse a soda. Fortunately after being underwhelmed there most of my guests are ready to stop somewhere else afterwards.

Luv In & Out!!! Wish they would expand east. Luv that they are open late.

Waffle House late night isn't great food, but it is kind of iconic after a long night out

Another one that is great, but an acquired taste is Cincinnati-style chili. I can't pass thru Cincy without stopping at Skyline for a 5-way & a couple of cheese coneys

Another bad food that does it for me are Loaded (or "Everything") Nachos. No particular place. Pretty hard to mess up.

One other burger chain I like is Fudruckers

Another local thing I like that I've seen mostly in St. Louis is Fried Ravioli often called "Toasted Ravioli" -- I'm really surprised it hasn't caught on more broadly -- it isn't a feat to make -- you throw ravioli in a deep fryer for a couple of minutes & serve with marinara sauce.

Original Pringles, Twizzlers (regular, not that pull and peel crap), and Diet Mountain Dew.

Or if I'm at Studio Movie Grill, a huge glass of Shiner and a basket of sweet potato fries.

Blue Bell Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream!

Braums has the best soft serve around. From what I understand, all their dairy products come from their own cattle for quality control..good stuff!

Popeyes cajun gravy on anything!

Do you have a favorite regional fast food stop or a fave at the grocery store?

Frozen pizza counts...another guilty pleasure...I feel so dirty

Well, I just over dosed on my daily allotment of chips and salsa. Need I say more?

Judge Smails · 02-26-2010, 12:07 PM

Peanut M&M's - just cannot stay away

Plus 2 on Braums ice cream

TGBY Shiver- but they don't have many in Dallas?

Diet Mountain Dew

Doritos Cool Ranch and Lays Regular

Buffalo Wild Wings- wings of course

Valentino's pizza and a "Runza"- both from the home of dear old Nebraska U

RealBeer285 · 02-26-2010, 12:18 PM

Portillo's Italian Beef sandwiches, got to get them whenever I am in Chitown.

Fuel City tacos, my fav is the Pastor spicy pork on corn tortillas.

+1 (I buy the biggest bag I can find, and plow through in no time, LOL)

Ladies, if you like peanut breath, let me know and I'll gladly prepare!!! I might even share the PM&Ms with you.
