What are the Top 5 Foods of All Time

By: Henry Jones

There are many opinions on the top 5 lists out there. People think that they can’t be factual, but I disagree. The great thing about my top 5 lists is that they are always right and no one can debate me on any topic. Anyways my top five food rankings go like this : any type of pasta at the one, steak at the two, a breakfast meal at the three, grilled cheese burritos from Taco Bell at the four, and grilled nuggets from Chick Fil A rounding it out at the five.

If you know me then you know I love Italian foods. My favorite kind of pasta is preferably chicken alfredo, but I will still devour any pasta style foods. I mean, it is just so hard to mess up even when my younger brother makes it for dinner every now and then. Next, steak is a gimme pick. Who doesn’t love a good steak? Medium rare or even medium are the only ways to go, but I will save that blog for when I really am desperate for a 100 in the grade book. Next, is a solid breakfast meal. There is a reason they claim breakfast is the most important meal of the day. If it is done right it’ll set the mood for the rest of the time you’re awake. Next, is a grilled cheese burrito from the one and only Taco Bell. It’s a bit of a niche pull for those who know, however don’t knock it ‘till you try it. I used to be a big T-Bell hater until I figured out about this hidden gem. Safe to say it destroys my bank account any time I’m hungry. Last but not least is grilled nuggets. I recently got put onto these and let me say that I’m very glad. My pre game football meal used to be Chipotle, but I’ve made the transition. The macros these give you in such a small amount is criminally unrecognized and needs more attention.

Top 5 Fast Food Places

By: Morgan Aycock

  1. Zaxby’s 

I could eat Zaxby’s everyday. I always get the big zax snack. Their fries are probably the best fries from any fast food place. Zax sauce is so good and goes perfectly with everything they have. They also have the best salad. They used to have raw fries which they should bring back because I remember always getting them when I was younger. 

  1. Chick-Fil-A

There isn’t anything bad from there. I like that they don’t only have chicken on the menu; they have a nice variety of different choices to choose from. They have healthier options like salads, wraps, and fruit. They probably have the best mac and cheese out of any fast food restaurant, and they have by far the best ranch. I also like their waffle fries because no other fast food place has those kinds of fries and it makes them unique. They have the best breakfast out of any other place, but my only complaint would be that it ends at 10:30 and not 11, because who wants to eat lunch at 10:31? They are overall the nicest fast food place and have good, Christian morals and values.

  1. Bojangles

Bojangles is at #3 because they don’t have a nice variety on the menu, but their food is good quality. Their Southern style chicken is one of my favorites. The seasoning is something that you will not find at any other fast food place. This really sets them apart from any other fast food place. Their breakfast is also very good; one of my favorites is the Cajun chicken biscuit. The biscuit is buttered perfectly, but also has a sweet taste, which makes it a good combination of sweet and salty. Their food is also very fresh and they have some of the best honey mustard that you can get out of anywhere.

  1. Cook out

Cook out has a great variety on their menu. They have from barbecue to burgers, so they have something for everyone. They also have some of the best milkshakes you can get anywhere. The portion sizes are very good and the meals fill you up. The prices are very affordable, and the portion sizes makes it a great deal. They also add a good Southern aspect to the menu from barbecue to hush puppies to banana pudding milkshakes. 

  1. Sonic 

Although sonic is not one of my favorites, they have a very good variety on the menu. They also offer slushies, which fast food restaurants often don’t have. Their drinks can be customized to anything you want added to them. The carhops are something that no other fast food place has and makes Sonic unlike any other place.

Top 3 Fast Food Restaurants 

By: Logan Mims

   In this week’s blog, I will be writing  about and rating my top three favorite fast food restaurants in Sumter, South Carolina. We don’t have that many options to choose from, but some of them are still pretty good.

   Coming in at number 3 of my top 3 favorite fast food restaurants in Sumter is Mcdonald’s. I’ll start off with their ice cream. My go to ice cream dessert from there is an M&M mcFlurry. The ice cream is soft serve and it is so good with the M&Ms in it. Their cheeseburger is also pretty good. I usually like to get ketchup cheese and pickles on my burger from there and they are always pretty good. Some people don’t like their chicken nuggets but I honestly think they are good especially with ranch or sweet and sour sauce. Lastly, their fries, I would have to say Mcdonald’s has the best fries out of all the fast food restaurants. They are always hot and crispy and have the perfect amount of salt on them. Overall, I would rate Mcdonald’s a 6/10. 

   My second favorite fast food restaurant in Sumter is Zaxby’s. I love to get chicken fingers and fries from there along with a piece of their buttery, crispy bread. I personally think the best part about Zaxbys is their sauces. They 100% have the best ranch out of any fast food restaurant you could find and their Zax sauce is also really good. Overall, I would rate Zaxbys a 8/10. 

   Lastly, my favorite fast food restaurant in Sumter is Chick-fil-A. I feel like that is so basic but they have such a big variety of different things you can get. My favorite thing from Chick-fil-A is their mac & cheese. It is personally my favorite mac & cheese I’ve ever had. I also really love their chicken nuggets and they gave such a big variety of sauces to choose from. chick-fil-A‘s fries are also delicious. Overall, I would rate Chick-fil-A a 10/10. 

The Best Fast Food in Sumter

by: Alexis Dawkins

I spend more time at fast food restaurants than I do at home. I get in trouble sometimes because I rarely eat at home, but fast food is more convenient.  I eat a lot of food and have a list of my favorites. 

Starting with my favorite, Chick-fil-a. This is my number one go-to when I’m hungry. With an order of a chicken sandwich with a large fry with either a sweet tea, diet coke, or frosted lemonade, depending on my mood. 

Next up is Zaxby’s. This is not everyone’s favorite but it is a good place to go even though sometimes it is not necessarily the quickest option. Here my order is a big zax snack with extra zax sauce and either a diet coke or sweet tea. Sometimes I throw in some fried pickles if I’m in the mood for them.

Mcdonalds is a go-to for so many people, especially late at night. A lot of people get burgers but I’m a chicken nugget person. I always get a ten piece chicken nugget meal with fries and either sweet tea, diet coke, or a chocolate milkshake. 

Cookout is a fun late night trip. If I go then I usually just get a milkshake and fries or cheese bites. Sometimes when I do get food I like getting a tray with chicken tenders and fries and cheese bites with a sweet tea. Cookout sweet tea is by far the best sweet tea in summer. 

Sonic is one of my favorite places to go for a quick bite to eat. Getting their pickle fries (fried pickles), which does not sound like they would be good but they really are. I like running through and getting an ocean water or lemonade slushy. 

These are not everyone’s favorite places and some are not my favorite but they are good places to stop when looking for some food that you do not have to cook.  

Ranking Fast Food Resturants

By: Olivia Cogswell

When looking for a quick and easy meal, many people drive to their local favorite fast food restaurant. In the US alone, there are over 200,000 restaurants and over 50,000 different fast food chains for people to pick from. Here are the top five best fast food restaurants:

Fifth, Whataburger. In this restaurant you can get cheeseburgers, french fries, or chicken. Many people compare the burgers from Watarburgers to Whoppers from Burger King. However, these burgers tend to be a much more appropriate size topped with more fresh ingredients. They provide other selections like chicken nuggets and french fries, and tend to be less expensive than other fast food restaurants. The downside of this chain is that they do not provide very many healthy options and are not at wide variety in states.

Fourth, Sonic. Sonic provides many options on their menu from burgers to pretzels, and even mozzarella sticks. They also have a wide variety of drink selections and ice creams. They have slushies, milkshakes, sundaes, and all kinds of fountain sodas. However Sonic tends to be on the pricier side, and their sides tend to be the better part of their menu while the main courses, like their burgers, are not very good. They are dried and topped with not so fresh toppings. 

Third, Taco Bell. This restaurant provides a wide variety of food selections from tacos, burritos, nachos, and even fries. They have frozen drinks and fountain drinks, and even have desserts. However Taco Bell is very unhealthy, and does not provide any healthy options. The service also tends to be on the slower side. 

Second, Raising Canes. Canes are known for their famous sauce, which makes their meals. Many people go to Canes just for their sauce. They have chicken tenders and chicken sandwiches, and are served with fries and Texas toast. Their fries are crinkled and are always crispy and their Texas toast is always made just right. They also are pretty cheap for the portion sizes.  Although their menu selections are good, they do not provide many other varieties, and tend to be more on the unhealthy side. 

First, Chick-Fil-A. Chick-Fil-A has so many options to choose from. They have chicken nuggets, tenders, and sandwiches. The sandwiches can come in many varieties like: original, spicy, deluxe, and even piminto. They have a variety of sides to choose from, and even have some healthy options like salads, soups, and fruit. While also having a wide variety of sauce options for customers to choose from. They even provide a full breakfast menu, with their well known chicken minis. CFA has some of the best services with the most welcoming employers. That is why Chick-Fil-A is the superior fast food restaurant compared to the other fast food chains.

Top 5 Fast Food Restaurants

By: Addie Griffin

We all know that while you’re on a family road trip or on the way home from a game, all you want to do is get to where you’re going as quickly as possible. There is no time to sit down at a restaurant, but no one wants to go hungry, right?  The solution to this is fast food and today, I will be ranking the top 5 best fast food restaurants. 

5.Starting off with number five is Sonic. 

This could be a controversial choice considering most people don’t particularly love Sonic, but I believe it deserves a spot on this list. Sonic has amazing milkshakes and slushies which makes getting sweet treats fast and easy. 

The mozzarella sticks also deserve an honorable mention and might even be some of the best I’ve ever had. The only downside is how expensive Sonic is and how slow service can be. 

4.At number four we have Mcdonald’s. Some people think McDonald’s is overrated, but I think otherwise. Mcdonald’s is open all twenty four hours of the day which makes it a great option for a midnight snack -particularly the fries, which are some of the best in the fast food industry. However, Mcdonald’s can be very slow sometimes and this is why it is at number four. 

3.Now for number three we have Chick-fil-a. This may cause an uproar, as many people would probably expect this to be at number one. While I think that Chick-fil-a is very good, I don’t think they have enough options and this is why I am putting it at number three. 

2.For the second best fast food restaurant, we have Zaxbys. Zaxbys deserves the number two spot because of the amount of options they have as a fast food restaurant. As someone who goes to zaxbys often, I have tried a lot of their food, and I have enjoyed every single thing I have gotten. Zaxbys is also relatively inexpensive which is another great thing about it. 

1.Now in the number one spot is Canes. All that is served at Canes is not even in competition with other fast food restaurants. Their chicken is some of the best I have ever had from any restaurant, not even just fast food restaurants. The food along with the unbeatable Canes Sauce is what makes everyone love this restaurant so much. 

My Top 10 Things

By: McKenzie Gray Mills

On the second week of top ten things, I’m going to be talking about my favorite fast food restaurant. Which is obviously Chick-fil-a. Chick-fil-a is very popular for their good food, but also for their family friendly atmosphere. From breakfast to dinner they sell a variety of options to satisfy their customers. While they continue to strive with quick service and good food they also continue to stay true to their roots. Their purpose is “To glorify God by being a faithful steward of all that is entrusted to us. To have a positive influence on all who come in contact with Chick-fil-A.” The phrase “my pleasure” is commonly connected to this restaurant. Their website says, “Over the years, “my pleasure” has become much more than a phrase – it embodies Chick-fil-A’s commitment of creating remarkable experiences, one interaction at a time.” This phrase is just another example of how this fast food place has created such a great reputation. There’s also a rumor that if a worker doesn’t respond to thank you with my pleasure that the customer receives a free ice cream. This is why Chick fi la is one of my favorite places.
