CFA’s owners still donate to Anti-LGBT groups and candidates who supports those polices. But so does the owner of Wendy’s, McDonald’s, etc. and sometimes in larger amounts than CFA does.
I just want to go on record to say that I’m voting Taco Bell because I have not eaten at a Taco Bell in over five years because, although I did enjoy many a bean burrito in my youth, the last few times I had Taco Bell, they were no good, very bad experiences.
If McDonald’s were a contender at this point, I’d be okay with switching to it because they have literally one thing on their menu that I enjoy, but the rest is generally not good. I also have no love for Steak and Shake and have never eaten at Whataburger so I’d also be on board with those.
But I’m not going to vote for Starbucks because I like their coffee, their marble cake thing used to be pretty good, and I can eat some of their bullshit packaged foods in a pinch, like when I’m at the airport and all the other options are worse.
The TB drive thru is the slowest on earth. I don't get it, they have like 5 ingredients that they mix and match to make everything, so why is it so slow??? And the only place I've experienced consistently wrong orders lol
I think the very last time I went was in Las Vegas, and the drive thru line was crazy long, so I decided to go inside. And then when I was inside, I waited like a half hour or forty-five minutes. I’m not even sure at this point if I actually got my food or if I finally left without it. After that, it just never seemed worth it to go back, and now that it’s been so long, I’ve kind of developed an aversion to it in general. I said it’s been over five years in my other post, but thinking about it specifically, I think it’s been more like eight.

I went there in my youth while high and it still tasted bad and left with lots of regret. So.... that says a lot.
But in n out also has better food than most of these (trash fries tho)
I think In and Out is very overrated. better than a number of things left but its a very average burger, albeit a very cheap one.
it’s way better than average. Maybe average compared to like a restaurant burger but it’s top tier fast food burger and not insanely overpriced like 5 guys.

Five Guys burgers are triple the price but probably five times as good to me
fwiw, according to this vox article, CFA ceased donations to groups with anti-LGBT stances. they previously had multi year commitments to the Fellowship of Christian Athletes and The Salvation Army.
personally i'm a little torn on the Salvation Army, they have literally saved the lives of people that i consider good friends, junkies that had no place else to go. and it didn't turn them into crazy people it just helped them get clean and get back on their feet. i've gone down to my local Sally to have meetings and speak. but i don't know much about the organization as a whole, just my local chapter i guess.
The counter to that is that (1) they specifically didn’t say, “hey we’re not going to donate to these groups anymore because we recognize how harmful that was,” and they didn’t rule out the possibility that they’d make similar donations in the future; their contract was just up and they chose different organizations to donate to for the time being; and (2) CFA’s owner still gives huge donations to anti-equality groups (pretty sure someone posted this in one of these threads, but here it is again: www.esquire.com/food-drink/restaurants/a36622217/chick-fil-a-owner-donations-against-equality-act/). The counter to that second part, of course, is that owners of many of these other businesses also give money to such organizations and no one is arguing against them, likely because it’s not so publicized. And the counter to that is, if it’s right in your face, it’s probably not right to ignore it just because you know someone else is doing it more quietly.
I definitely have at least one friend in the LGBTQ+ community who is angry that people still eat at CFA, and other friends who are largely silent about their stance on CFA. I also definitely know that gay people eat and work at CFA and I think their policy is that it’s their pleasure to serve everyone regardless of sexual orientation. I don’t think there’s one right answer here. It’s a judgment call.
Edit: I realize parts of this have now been said several times. I’m slow typing up posts because I have issues and reread and edit them multiple times before posting.

Ok but the chicken tastes good
Yeah, it does. That’s why I eat there more than any other place on this list and why I’m not voting for it.

5 Guys is edible, and I'll still eat there once a month or so. But their fries are real [tm] vs. frozen real [tm]. House cut is kind of important unless whoever-it-was last year said they sucked because they were always soggy all while apparently not realizing that if you get hot fried food to go, you have to vent it or it will steam and get soggy.
"If Taco Bell doesn't win that whole thing, tell them they can all go fuck themselves and that they should seek psychiatric help."
I couldn't deny paternity if I wanted to. 😄
Taco Bell is the Platonic ideal of fast food to me. It's not going to win but it's my favorite and the one I go to the most. They have a solid value menu and a good variety of things. It's the only fast food place I go and have decisions to make at the ordering window. Crunchwrap? Nachos Bell Grande? Potato soft tacos? Though, admittedly, they have shrunk their menu for much the worse in recent years by getting rid of the Grilled Stuft Burrito, spicy tostada, triple layer nachos, etc. A lot of people were fans of the Mexican Pizza, and now that's gone, but I never had it. The quality isn't really on the level of CFA or Whataburger, which are probably my other top-three chains, but I just like TB more. And fire sauce fucking rules.
