Food Blog: The Best Of Fastfood

Most food blogs concentrate on hidden restaurants, exceptional ambience, excellent deals, speciality dishes, etc. As this is my first entry regarding food, I thought I'd like to focus on the type of food I/we eat most of--fastfood! What are your favorite fastfood chains, which specific burgers, who has the best french fries, and desserts? Let me start with my choices, my favorites:

Burgers: McDonalds (8-MCDO). No matter what you do at home or at a bbq, you cannot mimic the taste of a McDonalds burger. The Quarter Pounder with Cheese and the Double Cheeseburger are the tastiest on their menu while the Burger McDo is absolute shit, stay away from it. My absolute problem with McDo is that they have no burger that features bacon. What the hell are these people thinking? A lesser known place with excellent burgers is Charlie's, located in Barangay Kapitolyo. Their Angus Beef burger with bacon is stellar, unfortunately there aren't multiple branches so if you arent in the Pasig area, it's a pain in the ass.

Pizza: Brooklyn Pizza (633-9999) Is there any reason to go to Shakey's aside from their mojo potatoes? Is Pizza Hut even still around? Yellow Cab has great sides like their Charlie Chan pastas, but for pizza, of the major players, I'm going with Brooklyn Pizza. Great lesser known pizza is Taste of L.A. on Tomas Morato and Roces Ave. in QC. Brick oven, delicious.

French Fries: I'm going with McDonalds again on this one. It's usually salted perfectly and they like throwing in the Twister edition or the Shakers every so often. The KFC fries also are an honorable mention (especially the Australian KFC's, if we were in Sydney right now, KFC wins this). Burger King has criss-cut fries right now that aren't bad either.

Dessert: Wendy's Frosty. I could eat 4 of these m-effers in one sitting.

Chicken: KFC, not even close. Kenny Rogers had a bit of a successful run but it was like the Suncell of chicken, niche market.

What's the best of the best in fastfood according to you? Please keep it local. I know you guys in America have In N' Out Burgers which is the best goddamn burger the world has ever known. Too bad Carl's Jr is no longer around here either. No offense Jollibee, good stuff but just not the best in any one category.
