For breakfast; Egg white grill (egg, grilled chicken on an English muffin). For lunch: Grilled chicken sandwich &amp; cup of chicken noodle soup.&nbsp; They have the best staff and service time no matter the location.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Wendy&#8217;s<\/strong>: I love that you can get chili there year round.&nbsp; Their grilled chicken sandwich isn&#8217;t bad either.&nbsp; Want to splurge?&nbsp; Get the Baconator.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Burger King<\/strong>: Their Whopper used to be the best fast food burger going.&nbsp; It is still awesome, but the service at BK (no matter the locations) make the experience less than pleasurable.&nbsp; I hope for a BK comeback some day.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Subway<\/strong>: I don&#8217;t eat there as often as I used to, but when I do, I get the BMT with lettuce, pickle, onion, mayo, mustard, plus a little oil and vinegar.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Dunkin&#8217;<\/strong>: I don&#8217;t eat at Dunkin&#8217; unless there is nothing else.&nbsp; Then I get a cinnamon roll.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Domino&#8217;s<\/strong>: I don&#8217;t eat at Domino&#8217;s but when I did it would be pizza with pepperoni and extra cheese.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Panera Bread<\/strong>: Any of their soup and sandwich choices are good.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Chipotle<\/strong>: I eat at Chipolte pretty regularly.&nbsp; I like the burrito bowl.&nbsp; Be sure and get the chips and salsa!<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Pizza Hut:&nbsp;<\/strong> I don&#8217;t eat at Pizza Hut but when I did it would be barbeque pizza.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>KFC<\/strong>: They have great slaw and their biscuits aren&#8217;t bad either!<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Popeyes<\/strong>: Their chicken sandwich is amazing.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Sonic Drive-In<\/strong>: I love that you can always get a hot dog or corn dog there&#8230; and they ain&#8217;t bad.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Buffalo Wild Wings<\/strong>: Go with what is in the name &#8211; get wings and a Diet Coke then watch some sports.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Arby&#8217;s<\/strong>: Get the Arby&#8217;s classic loaded with roast beef and add some horsey sauce.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Little Caesars:&nbsp;<\/strong>I don&#8217;t do Little Caesars.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Dairy Queen<\/strong>: Either a M&amp;M Blizzard or an old fashioned chocolate milk shake made with vanilla ice cream and Hershey&#8217;s chocolate syrup.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Jack in the Box<\/strong>: I don&#8217;t eat at Jack in the Box.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Panda Express<\/strong>: Get the Honey Walnut Shrimp!<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Olive Garden:&nbsp;<\/strong>Unlimited Soup, Salad and Breadsticks!&nbsp; Switch up the soup if you go for seconds.&nbsp; Oh, and be sure and add a side of Alfredo sauce for the breadsticks.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Papa John&#8217;s<\/strong>:&nbsp; I don&#8217;t eat at Papa John&#8217;s.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Chili&#8217;s<\/strong>: They have a good bacon burger.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Applebee&#8217;s<\/strong>: I used to get the Club House Grill but it has gone the way of Lum&#8217;s, so I don&#8217;t eat at Applebee&#8217;s very often.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Michele Debczak at Mental Floss posted the list of America\u2019s 25 Biggest Restaurant Chains.&nbsp;
