Loosely continuing our theme of “best restaurants,” we present to you the Discovery Travel Channel’s top ten “best fast food restaurants”.
#8 on the list is the Subway at the Pentagon. Why, you ask? The list’s authors say it’s because you have to have a security clearance to get through the doors. Which, incidentally, isn’t actually true. You just have to have a friend who has a security clearance who invites you to each lunch with them at the Pentagon, as zaf can attest to.
The rest of the list includes Arby’s in Hickory, N.C., which attracts more than 1,000 bikers to hang out there weekly; a Burger King in Buenos Aires, Argentina, which boasts “sky-high ceilings, intricate wood moldings and multiple chandeliers” as it is in the former residence of a wealthy Argentina family, and a McDonald’s in Pitea, Sweden, which boasts a drive through window for your snowmobile.
The full list is below:
- Wendy’s, North Pole, Alaska
- Burger King, Camp Bondsteel, Kosovo
- Arby’s, Hickory, N.C.
- McDonald’s, Pitea, Sweden
- Kentucky Fried Chicken, Corbin, Ky.
- Sonic Drive-In, Abilene, Texas
- Burger King, Buenos Aires, Argentina
- Subway, Washington, D.C.
- Taco Bell, Pacifica, Calif.
- McDonald’s, Manhattan, N.Y.
We have a feeling the lists’s writers were after something a bitter different than we would be. For one, we’d be considering food taste, which would knock, well, everybody, off the list. We’ve probably re-write it to include Chipotle, In-N-Out Burger, and Five Guys, at least.

Err…the Pentagon Subway would be in Arlington, not DC…
Chik-Fil-A’d top my list.
From my repository of useless knowledge, did you know that Chick Fil A’s are never allowed to be open on Sunday, because the company’s founder was devoutly religious?
Chik-fil-A = most overrated fast food restaurant on Earth.
Ah, you underestimate the power of their chicken.
Yes, Amg, their Sunday policy has been a royal pain in my butt on several occasions, as I always forget they won’t be open.
You mean the chicken that looks and tastes exactly like the various “fried” “chicken” products at McDonald’s? Oh, the victims of cutesy marketing…
Linking Fool Friday (Fitzmas Edition)
The indictments are proceeding, as you can read about elsewhere. Let’s review the best items leading up to this, shall we? I particularly enjoy this review of those who were against perjury before they were for it, reminding us of…
Since when is fast food only massive chain food?
Five Guys, how I love thee…
And, yeah, Arlington is not DC. That drives me crazy.
Why Subway? The Pentagon also includes, among others, McDonald’s, Taco Bell, Pizza Hut (Express), TOGO, and Domenic’s of New York, in addition to 2 Subway outlets. And 2 Dunkin Donuts. And 2 Baskin Robbins.
