US fast food chains. Should we have more options here?

KFC is overrated.

The real winner is Arkansas Fried Squirrel.

Domino's failed to get a foothold in Italy.

In a place with great native pizza, why on earth would they want to eat American muck?

There’s a popular seafood based fast food chain in Germany called Nordsee which I found decent enough. I’m sure if it would take off here though.
Out of the American chain restaurants I would love to see an Outback bbq red open in Ireland. I tried it when I was in Brazil and I thought it was good, especially the Blooming Onion with dip.

The grilled chicken burger is not bad

The tenders are ok, the regular chicken burger ok

The chips frozen

I'm a fan of Carl's Jr to be honest. Unfortunately though, they don't spare the calories.

Would ya just say what your favourites are rather than preach.

I ate in Bubba Gumps in the Mall of America in Minneapolis one time. The server makes you partake in a Forrest Gump quiz before ordering. Then you get this odd structure of cones containing a lot of shrimp. Weird.

Cheesecake Factory's cheese cake is actually really nice.

I went there on a work trip. The menu had calorie counts and everything was well over 1k calories, most over 2k calories. We found the skinnylicious menu and that had normal food on it.

But the deserts were great.

Possibly my most memorable US fast food experiences were both in Denver:

Taco Bell after a hockey game, where of course I had to repeat my order three times because of my non-American accent. Merely OK - didn't make me ill or anything like that, but pretty meh. It was literally all I could find open after 10PM on a week night in Denver.

Fatburger: now we're talking. I think I had a KingBurger, and it was really good. Their calorie counts are hilarious e.g. their "SkinnyBurger" is 560-700 calories, brought down from the more typical 1000 calories by leaving out the bun. But that market is probably covered here already with Wowburger, Five Guys etc. I don't think we need any more expensive burger joints.

PS so what do I think we need here? Good Texas BBQ takeaway is really something, I've had a few in Houston in recent years.

ive looked into trying to get a franchise for a Hooters resturant a few years ago. Was £60k upfront and needed between £800k - 1mill as an investment.

It would generate a ton of publicity in the country, the food is quite nice and theres a market here for a sports bar type of establishment in Dublin city.

Unfortunately i dont have a million loose change lying around!

how about a place like an applebees, beer wit yer grub. Not fast food more of a restraunt

The blue haired feminist crowd would lose their minds though.
