I ended up voting for "Hamburgers" in today's poll in an attempt to stop "Pizza" from winning today's poll. I knew I needed to vote for "Hamburgers", because "Pizza" won this poll back in 2009.

[Pizza] should just be disqualified from this and future fast food polls.

Fast food polls are just too boring when you already know that [Pizza] is going to win. They should just remove [Pizza] from the poll and then they can have a special match between the new winner and [Pizza].

Having tried fast food burgers in England and talked with people that have done so in other countries I can see why this surprises you. They are pretty bad compared to what we get around here.

I still voted Pizza though.

What's the difference between "fast food" and non-"fast food" Asian/fish/salad? I don't eat at fast food "places" in general, but if food can be cooked fast, surely it's "fast food"?

Are you serious? Fast food is mass production. Normal (and good) restaurants put a lot more sophistication into a dish.

That's not the point. It's clear what the difference between a real restaurant dish and a "fast food" one is.

My question is, for instance, if I go to a Chinese restaurant, does that count as "fast food"? If not, then wtf is Chinese "fast food"?

I don't think there's much difference between fast food and a "normal" restaurant where the average meal costs around $10. Those meals are all meant to be prepared and served in like eight minutes - clearly there's a lot of mass production going on there as well.

I don't know if there is any official designation, but fast food is stuff you can get at a drive-through window, or a mall food court. The philosophy is that it's ready to serve when you order it, so we're looking at Panda Express, Mcdonald's, Sbarro, etc.

I actually like cheap Asian places where a two-combo lunch plate is $5. My favorite pizza is also COSTCO PIZZA, so maybe I'm just a disgusting American eater or something, but I usually prefer the common man's meal over the more expensive stuff where people spell "shop" with an extra P and E at the end.

There is no matter. There is a pretty clear distinction between fast food and non-fast food for the most part. It's just amusing that you don't know the difference.

The thing with "asian" food in the context of fast food is that in America, it's hard to find asian non-fast food. Nearly all of it is the same old crappy "this does not look or taste like chicken" chicken and fried rice. But when you do find that authentic chinese restaurant... damn is it good.

When I think of fast food Asian food I think of panda express. When I think of fast food pizza it should only be little ceasars. If you have to wait more than 5 minutes for your food when there is no line, it shouldn't be declared fast food IMO.

At least I can get a decent burger.

Really high quality hamburgers don't impress me at all compared to other high quality food, but low quality hamburgers aren't that much worse than high quality hamburgers.

"Ready to serve when you order it" is a good explanation, I suppose. But what about food that's been prepared already? The difference between it and food prepared as you order it would, at many places, be simply the waiting time.

When I hear "fast food," I just usually think of McDonald's, KFC and such trash. When I saw stuff like Chinese and salad included here, I thought the poll applied a "broader" definition.

I think the heart of the poll is "which trashy food is the best". Salad makes no sense to me on this poll, but Chinese, even if step out of Panda Express and into typical westernized Chinese takeout places, is still trashy and almost all the flavor is oil and/or soy sauce.

Believe it or not, Chinese is pretty good here! Most of the places I've been to made quite yummy stuff. They're usually owned by Chinese families living here... The stuff is not meant for mass-production, they just prepare it for you as you order (you can wait for it and take away, too, of course). I don't know if it's really any better than in the US, but it certainly doesn't taste like "oil and/or soy sauce" to me.

We have good places, and supposedly good authentic places (I've tried it but man authentic Chinese food is not my thing). But the takeout places are not really great cuisine by any stretch. And they are almost entirely run by Chinese families. I think it's one giant supply network and the only difference is how much sauce they use and probably the crab rangoons are going to be different as well. And don't get me wrong, I love that stuff.

I meant that a restaurant that isn't a chain will usually put their own spin on things. Obviously if you order the same dish twice it's not going to be radically different or anything. It will taste the same, but it won't taste the same as that same dish in another restaurant. If you order a cheeseburger in McDonalds, chances are there isn't going to be any difference between that and the cheeseburger from the McDonalds a few blocks away.

edit: not to mention that good restaurants use well.. fresh food and not something that's frozen and produced to go out as quickly as possible

I generally see fast food as anything you get by lining up, and getting without having left the line. There are some exceptions, where they give you a number and call you back, but that's my general definition.

Also, the mall around here has Japanese, Chinese, Greek, and Indian fast food :P
