I'll admit it, I am not a "fish guy." So it's natural, I guess, that Rubio's isn't on the fast food circuit here at Fast Food Source as often as some other fast food chains. Apart from their reputation as a fish taco place, Rubio's also tends to roll out restaurants in strip malls, without drive-thru's. This only adds to the list of reasons why I passed up Rubio's in favor of other Mexican fast food alternatives. But that is my loss, as a recent trip helped me rediscover some Rubio's goodness.
What could be better than a glorious stack of Arby's thin-sliced roast beef drenched in cheese and Arby's sauce piled high on an onion bun? How about a higher pile? Well, you could always ask for (and pay for) more meat on any Arby's sandwich, but now they make ordering easier with three levels of some of their popular sandwiches. Here, one of my favorite fast food roast beef sandwiches comes in three varieties: Classic, Double and Half Pound. Not wanting to seem like a pig, I went for the Double.
OK, this month's What Was It? picture, taken in Southern California, should be crazy-easy.
We don't normally consider pizza fast food here on FastFoodSource. But a recent trend is bringing super-fast preparation to the pizza space. Reader Avery K. from Indian Wells, California recently tried one such concept and here's her review.
As we said in 2016, one of the fast food trends to watch for is more descriptive names for new fast food menu items. Well, try this one on for size: McDonald's Maple Bacon Dijon with Artisan Grilled Chicken Sandwich. What a mouthful!
Every few years it seems McDonald's takes another run at building a better chicken sandwich. They usually fail, as described in our 2015 review of their then "premium" sandwich. And a link in that article back to 2011's sorry state of affairs. Well, chicken lovers rejoice: there is a better chicken sandwich now at McDonald's as part of the Signature Crafted lineup. It's not great, but it is better. Read on.
I'd never been to Capriotti's before trying it last month. For those of you who haven't tried it, Capriotti's Sandwich Shop is a small nationwide sandwich chain with a handful of locations in major cities. Founded in Delaware in 1976, they make hot and cold sandwiches and salads, starting with their turkey sandwich "for real turkey lovers."
Since 2000, Fast Food Source has been the premier independent site dedicated to fast food lovers, offering fast food restaurant menus, and nutrition information, as well as fast food blogs, articles, forums, and fast food industry news. We offer fast food location information for over 50 cities and more than 80 fast food chains.
