Arby's I've never tried. Captain D's was okay the one time I had it, but not really worth its price.
I'd say the two places I've never had good luck with are KFC and Dunkin

for 16 years, i thought the logo for arbys was a fish, or an orca whale sticking its head out, which didnt make sense to me because a majority of the menu was beef/pork based.

now i know that it is, indeed a fish, and now a whale.

I know that no one will have heard of this restaurant, since it's a small pizza place with maybe two locations. But it's the one restaurant where the food is such shit that it actually makes me angry.

It's called "Mangino's Pizzeria".

This fucking place has been open for almost 8 years in my town, and always has people in it, yet I know of no one that actually enjoys their food or goes there regularly. I may be a bit of a snob when it comes to Italian food, since I lived in Italy and my family owns a few restaurants, but my friend aren't. My friends are the biggest slobs on the planet and will eat a piece of frozen dog shit covered in sauce and cheese.

When this place opened, we were excited to have a new pizza shop open nearby, since it was walking distance from one of our friend's houses that we usually hung out. On opening day, we went there, 7 or 8 of us. All high school, ramen-eating, non-picky, messy kids who would eat just about anything. We got a simple cheese pizza. I swear to God, it was completely inedible to all of us.

When I say inedible, I mean every single one of us took exactly one slice, and took exactly one bite, then put it down. The typical high school slobs that we were, some of which, were overweight and raised on Kraft mac n' cheese, frozen chicken tendies, and Spaghettios, still couldn't eat it. And we were all really fucking hungry. I mean, at least I can actually eat a frozen pizza, or even bagel bites. They're edible, not good, but edible. This shit was an abomination. We even went back a few months later to see if it was just a mistake. It wasn't. People eat that shit, and enjoy it somehow.

As an Italian, and as a compassionate human being, I really hope that place burns to the ground with the owner still inside of it. I hope his first born son dies of AIDS. I hope the Italian mafia shows up at his door and boils his wife alive in a pot of red sauce and meatballs, so that she may taste actual food before she slowly dies.

I'd be embarrassed because I'm a 50 year old with a decent career, None of my peers eat fast food. The closest they'll come is a deli sandwich or a diner when traveling, and even then they'll have their smartphones out looking for a proper restaurant. If any of them saw me walking out of a BK or McD's they'd call an ambulance, because they'd be sure I was having a stroke. Those are just not places people of my age and social class go to. I haven't eaten at McDonald's in over 20 years. I remember it was awful, though.

Put it into context. All the people you know are like you, so your idea of what is normal gets reinforced by them. Same is true for me. In your circles eating fast food is normal, in mine people "know better' than to eat that shit. In my circles the indulgent, unhealthy move would be ordering a bottle of wine with dinner, and debating a second if the meal stretches out for a while. It's a big world, and there are a lot of different people in it. Part of why I'm here is because I find people from different places and social classes fascinating. You are basically providing me with armchair anthropology. Thanks for that.

>Holy shit dude tone it back a notch
Fair enough. I'm probably taking a little too much pleasure in being anonymous. But the truth is the reason I read fast food threads here is probably very close to the reason edgelords are drawn to gore threads on /b/ - grim fascination. The only time I get to experience any of this stuff in real life is when I visit my in-laws in the Midwest. And after knowing them for 20 years I still cringe at the "normal" things they eat.

Arbys is weird. I rarely eat there, never want to go there. When I go there I immediately start regretting it even as I look over the menu and order. Then the food arrives and it looks and smells barely edible. But as I eat it, it tastes ok and I wonder why I don't come here more often. By the time I am finished, I think the food was pretty tastey. However as I leave, the memory of the food turns mediocre and I think that that meal could have been better spent at any other restaurant.

Arby's - the restaurant with food that is only good while your eating it.

I only eat arby's when I'm feeling down. It's like a reflex. I don't deserve better so I'm eating at arby's, and it then tastes ok but the greasy aftertaste lingers with you for hours. Your burps remind you of your laziness and inability to cook a simple meal for yourself.

Nihilist arbys isn't a satirical twitter. It's truly what the restaurant was meant for.
