Hold the Meat: Vegetarian Fast Food Options
Today’s post comes to us from guest blogger Isabella Woods. Yay, Isabella! Just because you’re not a hard-line vegetarian doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy a meal without meat. And no, I’m not going to start listing all the ethical/environmental/health benefits of a reduced meat diet. Who needs statistics when the food speaks for itself? The Pita Pit First up, you definitely don’t have to be vegetarian to appreciate the joys of falafel. Pita Pits are in pretty much every … Read entire article »

Arby’s Angus Cool Deli Sandwich
Dear foodies, As you loyal readers know, several months ago I did a “Battle of the Brands” between Arby’s and Subway for grilled chicken salad/pecan sandwich concoctions. The winner was Arby’s, winning on the platform of Ridiculously Fresh and Crunchy. As a new sandwich was introduced into the Arby’s oeuvre, I decided to give it a shot. The Angus Cool Deli sandwich is described as follows: Oven-roasted, thinly sliced USDA Choice Top Round Angus beef served cool and topped … Read entire article »

Taste Test: Subway’s Pulled Pork
I know, foodies — not a month ago I posted a diatribe against this sandwich establishment, forsaking Jared and all the cold cuts he so disgustingly consumes. But when I heard they’d added to their menu a pulled pork sandwich — also known as the perfect food — my taste buds, like a raging libido forced to choose between sex with a person with a known venereal disease and no sex at all, overwhelmed my … Read entire article »

The Top 3 Reasons I Enjoy Subway
Dear foodies, While I wouldn’t say that I love Subway, I would say that I very much disagree with Mary’s post yesterday re: why she…hates…Subway. Just as we differed in our feelings about the Parisian MacDo, so too do we fork in our beliefs about Subway. So why do I enjoy Subway? 1. The smell…most of the time Until very recently, when hanging out at my local Bedford Ave Subway, I thought Subway had one of the best smells … Read entire article »

The Top 3 Reasons I Hate Subway
As I’ve stated previously, I’m not much of a boat-rocker. Unlike Briana, who is quick to hurl barbs at delicious things like rice, dark meat, and Filet-o-Fish sandwiches, I can generally compromise and consume pretty much anything that’s put in front of me. When my family went out to a restaurant when I was a wee one, they dubbed me “The Dumpster” — ostensibly from my ability to orally Dust-Bust the remains of their plates, … Read entire article »

Battle of the Brands: Arby’s v. Subway
Hey foodies, Far be it from me to let fast food drama go unreported. When I heard about the simultaneous entrance of Arby’s Market Fresh Grilled Chicken & Pecan Salad Sandwich AND Subway’s Orchard Chicken Salad Sandwich (whatever happened to just calling things “hamburger” or “nuggets”?), I knew there would be some serious divides coming up in the fast food community. At fast food fanatic gatherings, new gangs would be created. Gang leaders would approach onlookers. … Read entire article »

Subway: Riding the Express Train to Monopoly
It has been recently reported that Subway has overtaken McDonald’s as the number one food chain in America IN THE WORLD. Does this mean that Jared’s efforts are finally paying off? That the world is deluding itself into thinking that just because a sub is not a hamburger, that automatically means it is healthier? Don’t get me wrong–I’m a frequent patron of Subway. Hell, my last post was halfway about the wonders of Subway chocolate chip cookies. About half of my daily workouts end in a 6″ turkey sub (double meat; American cheese) — a mild 280 calories, considering I only eat half of the sub bread. Not only do I enjoy the sub, my cat’s favorite food is Subway turkey. I’m not gonna lie, I once shared a piece of turkey … Read entire article »

Combo Creations: The Ice Cream Sandwich
Hey foodies, Wanna know where the idea for Fast Foodies began? It was the Wendy’s on Broadway. Mary and I were meeting up for lunch. The year was probably early 2009. The food was a spicy chicken sandwich, fries, and a lemonade. I remember after our meal we stood outside the restaurant and I mentioned something about TV and how I was getting really addicted to it, which was one part honesty and another part I wished Mary would make the connection between how much I loved TV and how much my newly-ex ex-boyfriend [who was BFF with Mary] loved TV, and be like, “Well, dang, this is a match made in heaven, I must reunite them, etc. etc!” Of course the only real thing of value gleaned from this hang outage … Read entire article »
