Cost of soda can: $1.50
Cost of pizza slice: $1
That's a dollar fifty too much. I could get a 2 litre soda and a medium pizza for about $7.99 at my local pizza joint.

A few factors:

1: The Popeyes Chicken Sandwich craze exposed people to the Nashville style chicken sandwich, so it makes for a good dish to sell to attract customers to a business because:
2: They are simple to make and prepare, and:
3: The price of beef went up a lot, and though chicken has, not as much, meaning that companies could cut a menu item off and replace it with a chicken sandwich that would sell.

You're fucking ignorant or retarded if you think that MCSloppySeconds is the best. That's a bad way of looking, fast food needs to be looked at by food served. The chicken joints simply cannot be compared to taco places or burger places.

In the spirit of the question, the best place is In-N-Out from a price/quality ratio. The company has mastered the art of the core competency, and is utterly, singularly, perhaps even obsessively selling cheap burgers of high quality, and they excel at it, something a lot of places struggle with. The cult following is not earned without the support of the people. They don't waste their fucking time on trends like breakfast and "CheesyHyper-Mega Tacos", and they pay employees well. They use real ingredients in their food, and demand that food be made fresh, such that they nearly vertically integrated every aspect of production save for production of ingredients, but they are picky and have extreme standards. The service is phenomenal (I have never somebody who has met an uppity In-N-Out employee, and if they have, they have been fired on the spot, an incorrect order, on the rare chance it happens, is rectified immediately, and you are compensated with free fries or something for one's trouble), and their locations are somehow spotless, even during the busiest of times, something most chains fail at laughably. Also, it is privately run, not some faggot corporation run by business types with zero sense of how to make a business last. May the family who own that company always retain the ownership.

So go ahead, tell me any other place is better. I double dare you motherfucker.

It truly is the most superior of the cuisines. It's extremely diverse, has a variety of flavors, and is accessible to create with basic ingredients.

5 dollars. I can go to the flea market in my city and find nice knives for nothing, fix them up, and use them. Have tons of knives that I've gotten this way. Most are mid range brands, but I'm not some anal-retentive knife autist.

We have this in the Euro section of my local grocer. Can somebody tell me their opinion and what it tastes like, like, say, how it differs from other mustards. They demand a pretty penny for it, so I wonder if it's amazing or a gimmick.
