Gourmet Fast Food?
I just ate at Pei Wei tonight ( really good AZN food, they have them in AZ, dunno about anywhere else) and it go me thinking, how is "fast food" defined? There are a number of resturants like Pei Wei, Chipotle, and various sandwhich places which most people would consider to be fast food, but I don't feel like these places are comparable to McDonalds/BK/Wendys. The quality of food is much better, and its normal to wait at least 10 minutes for your food at a place like Pei Wei.
Should these kinds of places still be considered fast food? Or is Pei Wei a "sitdown resturant"? ( people bring your food out to you, but everyone orders at a counter) Or is it something else, gourmet fast food/a quick-sitdown resturant? ( also what is your favorite thing to get at these kind of places, please include those I haven't named) |

Check the nutrition, namely sodium levels.
Anything with that much salt isn't gourmet in my book. |

I think McDonalds owns Chipotle & Pei Wei, so it's all fast food to me. Don't bother checking nutrition values, there are none.

Pei Wei sounds pretty good. There's one near me too. Thanks for the tip.

Chipotle isn't owned by McDonald's anymore; it was spun off a while ago. Although McDonald's might still hold a significant stake in Chipotle.

The definition of a fast-food place is a restaurant with a drive-thru. I haven't been to these places, but there ya go.
