Favorite fast food picks
Sure you are all being good in resisting temptations along the way, but if you are going to do fast food, are there better choices than others.
According to the consensus of the Zagat (online at www.zagat.com) guide's first survey of fast-food restaurants, Panera Bread Co. was picked as the best fast-food chain. The survey is based on 5,535 diners from across the country.
In the "not a surprise" category, McDonald's won for best French fries with 63 percent. One surveyor said McDonald's fries were so addictive that "I think there's heroin in them." And though we have been fierce against McDonald's over trans fats, this finding may justify their paranoia over changing oils. But other places found ways where the taste doesn't change. Good French fries don't need beef tallow or trans fats.
Best chicken and best service went to Chick-fil-A, a regional pick.
