Reader Survey 2012: I’m Embarrassed To Admit I Eat Here!

July 2, 2012 by PDX Food Dude 8 Comments

embarrassedAlways a fun question though the answers tend to be the same year over year. That being said, a few people surprised me. Little Big Burger? Moonsoon Thai? Sunshine Tavern? However, there are a few of you who should be spanked. Subway, Ihop, Domino’s Pizza, McMenamins, Panda Express(!), Old Spaghetti Factory, PF Changs. I mean, really!

Without further adoo,

1. Burgerville. Frankly, I don’t think Burgerville is all that bad. If I’m on the road, the only thing better is In-N-Out Burger.

2. McDonald’s. Ok, I don’t do that anymore.

3. Chipotle Mexican Grill. Better than Taco Bell.

4. Taco Bell. Oops.

5. McMenamins. Choke

6. Subway. Mmmm. Chemicals

7. PF Chang’s. Had it at a party once. I can sum it up in one sentence. Deep fried kung pow chicken.

I think the guilty parties are humiliated enough, and the count drops drastically from here.

    OK I’ll change my vote from Burgerville. Quizno’s when I have a Groupon. There. Humiliated. Happy now?

      Hey… I used to work across from a Quizno’s; ate there more than I care to admit. It’s a heck of a lot better than Subway!

        Just curious why subway is worse than quizno’s. If I were to pick between the two, I’d prefer subway.

        I just prefer Quizno’s. Never could stomach Subway
