We've not been posting for a while. When Fast Food Source launched back in 2000, there weren't "fan" sites that focused on fast food. Even the chains themselves offered scant information on their own products, menus or even locations. In the past few years there's been explosive growth in both the number and types of ways consumers can get their info. Google Maps made location search unnecessary on this site. Google and social media posts of menus means nobody needed to come here for that anymore. Reddit covers the minutiae of food reviews and commentary.
It's been a great ride and this, our 20th anniversary, is a good place to end. We were a blog before there were blogs, and that's pretty cool.
We'll keep the archives up for reference for a while, but no new posts are likely here. For domain inquiries, reach us at sunset(at)fastfoodsource(youknowtherest).

Just got this ad in my email from Del Taco who teamed up with Naked Dog Bistro in Laguna Beach, CA to create all natural dog treats which will soon be available for sale on the Del Taco webstore.
For a long time I've been a proponent of feeding dogs fast food, and my late great pup Logan especially loved Del Taco value tacos (without the shell.) I believe he lived over 16 years in part because of this diet and I fully endorse this step toward more unity between the humans and canine worlds.
The McDonald's mobile app works pretty well and has many features unique to this mega-chain. In addition to the requisite specials and locator is the ability not only to order food but to track your arrival at the restaurant for car-side delivery (if your local store is so-equipped.) For more on our experience with the McDonald's mobile app, read on.
I just had to share this adorable kid's-sized order of chips from Chipotle. What a cute little bag. And you may be surprised to learn that there was a decent amount of chips inside, maybe 15 or so. Plenty for one person.
Bookending this post are obligatory shots of an international Big Mac, this time from Madrid, Spain. I found this particular sandwich to lean more toward the vinegar side for their Special Sauce. The effect was a fast food burger that was rather bland in flavor. I lean on the sweetness and tang of the Special Sauce to offset the very dull taste of McDonald's standard burger patties. That was lacking here. Oh well, the worst Big Mac is still better than a lot of other foods!
Let's take a look at the menu:
For a limited time, McDonald's rolled out another food item with a name that's quite a mouthful: Sweet N' Spicy Honey BBQ Glazed Tenders. Whew. The marketing says these are "hand-tossed and glazed to order." Maybe, but what are these like in real life?
