When I read through the comments on this website, I am surprised by the number of people who assume that the restaurant or menu page is somehow managed by the actual restaurant chain.  Fast Food Source is an independent website dedicated to fast food fans.  We are not affiliated with any particular chain.  That is what allows us to praise or be openly critical on a given subject.

If you are looking for a way to make your comments heard by a particular restaurant, be sure to click the Contact or Website links on the top-right corner of every restaurant page.  That will launch a separate page for the actual restaurant you want to reach.
