Fast Food Frenzy: …and the Winner is…

 Wendy’s!

After a grueling battle with other big fast food chains, Wendy’s manages to finish on top.  Am I surprised?  Really, not at all.  The other day, I went to Wendy’s for lunch and saw on the door that it was Zagat rated.  Unbelievable.  Then again, Wendy’s has a tendency to be fresh and tasty on a consistent basis.  Wendy’s is a good fast food place with respectable food.  Congrats Wendy’s.  Dave would be so proud.

Other surprises?  I’m surprised In-N-Out didn’t make it to at least the championship.  It has a devoted following and for good reason.  Taco Bell?  That was a shocker.  Honestly, I can’t explain that one.  But life’s full of surprises!

Thanks everyone who participated in the polls!

Poll: Favorite Ethnic Cuisine?

I’m pretty open to all cuisines. It would be hard, as a foodie, to pick one as my favorite, but if I had to, it would be Italian.

I really can’t tell you why. I will say that my favorite cheeses, wines, and breads are all Italian. And don’t get me started on focaccia….omg so good.

How about you? What is your favorite? If you had to pick just one, what would it be?

Poll: Cake or Pie?

First, let me say that cheesecake doesn’t count in this poll since everyone loves cheesecake.   Seriously, who hates cheesecake?  No one, that’s who. 

In the spirit of the holidays, I thought it would be interesting to see what you guys think is the better holiday dessert: cake or pie.  For me, I have to say it’s pie.  There’s just something so American about pie.  There’s also nothing that beats a warm slice of sweet, flaky but tender, apple pie ala mode.  Oh my.

I can also see the joys of a nice, moist cake.  Red Velvet?  Yes, please.  Add a nice, cold glass of milk and BAM you have a great pairing and nice end to a holiday meal.

What do you think?

Poll: Bread or Filling?

This is an important question that has been in hot debate among gourmands.  Which is more important in a sandwich:  the bread or the filling?

Before you vote in the polls, let me add my two cents.  I think a good bread makes all the difference in a sandwich.  A good bread is like the foundation of a house.  It can really add and support the filling of a sandwich.  One of my favorites is ciabatta, a very heart bread with a nice crunchy texture on the outside and a heavy but soft inside. 

On the other hand, a good filling can elevate a sandwich to new realms of tasty pleasure.  A piece of juicy meat can make up for a mediocre bread for instance.

What do you think?  Be sure to make your voice heard in the polls!
