I went through high school in a small Kansas town (Derby) and we mostly ate at Sonic, Taco Bell or Pizza Hut (back when it took a half-hour to cook one of their pizzas).  Went back there recently and all three of the original stores are gone.

Today I prefer Red Robin.


I'm thirty miles away from there. Shocked Winfield, which has even less choices than Derby. Derby does have Casa Martinez, one of my favorite Mexican restaurants though. You ever eat there?

Yeah not only have I eaten there, I went to school with some of the Martinez kids, was on the wrestling team with one of them.  Good food, pretty authentic.  If I remember right that place was a sporting goods store back when I was living there.  I bought my high school letter jacket there.  

The Mendoza's used to have a restaurant next to the police station but it closed a few years ago.  I think there's a another Taco Bell there now.


I've been to Winfield several times and you're right - not many options for good food there.

That's what happens when you set tea up on a pedestal. I like good things as much as any somewhat middle-class white dude, but you Brits have an intense cult of tea there. I'm not surprised you're not satisfied with anything but the best brewed tea. Give me a bag of Twinings and hot water and I'll spare the complaining, myself. 

Kinda the same with everyone on the Internet bitching about Starbucks and burnt coffee. I have a French press, a drip coffee system, and all that, and yet I still like Starbucks and other coffee outlets. But nope, everybody's got to have an ax to grind about some scapegoat or other.


Have you ever looked at a tea bag that most fast food places or a diner will give you? Try it and let me know if you can see any leaves in there. It's essentially a bunch of a dust that will color the water and give people an excuse to not feel bad about drinking hot milk with four tablespoons of sugar.

Eh, sure some are better than others, but the only tea I've actually disliked seriously was at this one sushi place, and I'm pretty sure it was made out of clay. I don't really make an objective of mine to sample teas from McDonalds or whatever, but I've never been disappointed. I don't really have expectations for those things. I'm more a coffee guy anyway.

First, McDonalds?

I..

I don't even.
Not even drunk can I eat that crap (this is honestly true)
Ugh I feel sick thinking about it.

I used to be bad with that stuff but I barely get fast food anymore, and when I do it's always Chipotle.

Sure it's not good for you but compared to Wendy's and Taco Bell...and you get more than Subway.
Which are the other ones I do like, though again I havn't had any of those in a long while.

Tea in bags is just fine - no complaint there - I use bags most of the time because they're quick and convienient, just as if instant coffee didn't give me migranes (f*ck knows how, it just does) I'd probably be happy with that too. Most fast-food outlets do not have the water hot enough to make tea correctly and they use UHT milk, which may be okay in coffee but it's foul in tea.

It's an easy complaint to make that makes them sound more knowledgeable than they probably are.

A bucket of builders tea stewed for several days and served in an empty paint can would suffice to be honest and still be better than what passes for tea at most fast-food outlets. As for we Brits, we do not have a cult of tea, intense or otherwise - 99% of us drink regular tea (PG-Tips or Typhoo or some such supermarket brand) in a regular cup and would neither know nor care whether it's Assam or Darjeeling, though I will say that Twinnings is mainly consumed by the psuedo-middle classes and foreigners. Most Brits when dining out generally drink coffee, then how hard is it to screw-up making a cup of coffee?
 
I've never noticed that Starbucks burns the beans, I have noticed Costa does but that's personal preference surely - a rich roast in my estimation is not carbonised, but if you're happy to pay more for a cup of coffee in Starbucks than you'd pay for a bottle of beer then I'm not going to complain.
 
But don't let me stand in the way of a good old fashioned internet rant about four-fifths of f*ck-all.

It's the only place I've found. I usually just carry a tea tin in my car with my infuser and request hot water when I'm out. However, they use Republic of Tea teas. They're far from great, but it suffices in a pinch.

I'll get a cup of tea at Panera Bread occaisonally because their Earl Grey is passable, but I really do not like fast food.
