Gourmet Fast Food?

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.

I think fast-food is anywhere where you can/do order at a counter rather than with a waitress/waiter, and the restaurant gives you the food at the counter as opposed to bringing it to you.

You might want to look up the definition of "definition".





BTW here are two drive-throughs where the food takes 24 hours to cook.

Nutrition values for peiwei. They don't list sodium. Also, laughable that most entrees have 2 servings. Whatever, man.

A few years ago I got into a heated argument with my friends, who considered Fuddruckers fast food. Thoughts?

Having never been there I'm unsure. Can you describe the experience? Do you order at a counter?

Fuddruckers is as much fast food as Chili's or TGI Friday's are. Which is to say it isn't. Although all three suck horribly.

Mmm, I can't abide the Fuddrucker's hate. I probably go there only once every couple of years even though there are two pretty close but I always come away thinking that it was a pretty damned good burger, their condiment bar is impressive, and you can get some really good nacho cheese for your fries (just what my fat ass needs, but mixed with ketchup it's awesome, and the fries are some pretty tasty potato wedges).

I definitely don't think it fits the criteria of fast food either, which I loosely define as any place or chain where you can buy food out of a window.

So you order while seated at a table?

I pretty much consider anything fast food where you can order your entire meal by saying a number.
