MGoFastFood Vote: Results
Year 1 - MGoCereal: Results
Summary: Cinnamon Toast Crunch is king, Brian Cook as a cereal mascot, and a vicious debate in the comments about whether you pour the milk or cereal first.
Year 2 - MGoHalloweenCandy: Results
Summary: People like Reese's, candy corn sucks, and something about candied genitalia.
Year 3 - MGoFastFood
The results have been tallied, and it's time to reveal what the MGoBoard craves when they hit the drive-thru.
Voter turnout was way up, more than doubling the votes cast in the Halloween Candy poll. However, the 487 ballots did not reach the rarefied air inhabited by the Breakfast Cereal poll's 600+ votes. In a personal victory and for the first time ever, I did not have to discard any ballots due to racist answers. Great job guys!
I hand counted the ballots, so there are probably some piddling errors, don't @ me.
Results:
Southern Evangelicals make their voices heard on yet another national vote. This one was never close, with Taco Bell and Wendy's making late runs to avoid being doubled up.
Wow, do you guys hate Burger King, to the point of 1 in 4 responses espousing disdain of BK. BK hate was the largest vote getter regardless of poll question.
Most Overrated was competitive throughout, with the top 5 chains more or less even throughout, with In-N-Out the early leader and McDonald's pulling away late.
This question received an enormous amount of unique answers obviously, so just listing the top 10. Taco Bell and McDonald's menu items led the poll collectively, but their enormous menus cannibalized their vote totals, allowing items from the comparably limited menus of In-N-Out and Chick-fil-A to dominate.
Responses:
Hi Dave.
I hadn't heard Chick-fil-A had opened locations in Canada.
Applebee's has fallen to the point that people don't even remember they are a casual dining restaurant. Damn you Millennials!
Agreed, what's her problem anyway?
You're doing it wrong. It's "All is horrible. Eat Arby's."
Thank you for taking the time to participate in my poll, Coach Meyer.
I refuse to believe the chain that gave us a commercial with Scottie Pippin dunking a sandwich could be the worst at anything.
Full commercial here. It's worth it.
I would make fun of this person's immaturity, but this restaurant is referred to as "ButtcracDonald's" in the Smoothitron household, or sometimes as "The ol' Buttcrack".
How did you know my college nickname?
I have nothing funny to say here. I just wanted to point out that 5 separate people, when asked to record their favorite Fast Food menu item and the chain from which it comes, just wrote the word "burger".

I hear so many good things about Chick Fill A. If only their politics weren't so awful and their commercials weren't so annoying, I might actually try their food.

Commercials are somewhat enjoyable (there are much worse out there). Food and service are excellent for a fast food place - have never seen anything better in that category (most casual dining offers more personalized service, but you are expected to tip of course). I don't see why some people get bent out of shape about the politics of the owners - the franchises don't reflect any of that aside from not being open on Sundays. There are countless other well known companies out there that promote a political agenda much more than CFA ever does, yet they are still patronized by most sides of the poltical spectrum.

My wife pours her milk first and it drives me crazy. She tried to teach our daughter to do this as well. NOT SO FAST, my friend.

I can't believe I missed this poll.
You obviously missed my opionion as everyone who disagrees with me must be wrong.

I was really hoping my listing of Zingerman's as the most overrated fast food place would get a shout-out.
November 8th, 2017 at 11:18 AM ^
But then again maybe it didn't get counted in the poll because even though it's way overrated it's really really slow. (yes obviously I realize that Zingerman's isn't actually "fast food").

change my vote to Chick Filliag-A for next year
Higdonalds is a close second
November 8th, 2017 at 1:22 PM ^
I went with Little Caesars Hot N Ready. They do have drive thru locations, and even if it is the worst pizza, it is in fact pizza which is the best food.
I'd rather have early 2000s Dominos cardboard crust pizza than the best possible other fast food option.
November 10th, 2017 at 2:17 PM ^
See this is a good point. We need to define "fast food".
I'd take a Hot N Ready over the McDonalds/Burger King/Taco Bell of the world. I'd also take a Jimmy John's #9 over almost anything on the list. But I never considered either to be "fast food".
November 8th, 2017 at 2:00 PM ^
Because I'm old.
November 8th, 2017 at 2:07 PM ^
My great-great-great-great grandfather owned some of those or something. (I wasn't getting any inheritence so I really didn't pay attention)

I was an In-N-Out double double voter. Also think Taco Bell is most overrated.
But my biggest question with these responses is why are places like Jimmy John's, Potbelly, Panera, and Qdoba on the list? Aren't these "fast casual" or whatever the category is above fast food? On the whole all of those places are much better than the general garbage coming from true fast food joints.
