Re: 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.

Re: Gourmet Fast Food?
yeah, obv fast food doesn't require a drive thru, though a drive thru is sufficient (assuming it's not just a carryout drive-thru). a hot dog street vendor sells fast food.
wiki says "Fast food is food that can be prepared and served very quickly. While any meal with low preparation time can be considered to be fast food, such as TV dinners, typically the term refers to food which is cooked in bulk in advance, kept warm or reheated to order, and sold ready-to-eat from an outlet."

Re: Gourmet Fast Food?
pei wei is definitely not fast food.
chipotle is more questionable, but i think mexican food only counts as fast food if it is bueno, bell, ...etc.

Re: Gourmet Fast Food?
"Gourmet" fast-food joints (e.g., Pei Wei, Chipotle) were created as a "healthy" alternative for loyal and devoted mid-heavyweight porkers who already jammed their hardened arteries full of McD's, BK, Wendy's, etc.

Re: Gourmet Fast Food?
fwiw, I just met with the st louis county health inspector last week, and I had to classify my place, it is full service, but I was curious as to how it worked and what the classifications meant, they were full-service, deli, fast food, and a couple others. A fast food place is anywhere that you order at a counter, and pick it up at a counter, it has to have a drive through otherwise its considered a deli.
