    What do you think of breakfast at fast food joints like BK and McD's? Personally, I don't dig the greasiness or the nuclear yellow eggs, but they're good in a pinch.

    The only fast food place that I don't mind for breakfast was Hardees. But Hardees is coming harder and harder to find these days.

    If I absolutely, positively need breakfast in 30 seconds, I'll live with hotcakes and sausage from McDonalds. Even though I'm probably better off with just a King Size Snickers bar if that's the case.

    I'm on the road quite a lot, so I know a bit about this. Burger King's all but worthless for breakfast and the Arches don't do much for me either, but I will make a stop if there's a Whataburger in sight. Problem is, there aren't a whole lot around these parts.

    As for Hardees being hard to find, in my travels I'm seeing more and more of them in those interstate oases, usually in the middle of lengthy turnpikes.

    A sausage, egg and cheese bagel with hash browns is a great way to start the morning. Just not from one of the big fast food chains.

    Depends on where you go to, the chains have OK breakfasts, but if there's a localiy-owned burger joint, it's pretty good and fattening. When I was at my old high school, there was this place called the Red Onion, the place had some damned good french toast, and big portions too.

    A local chain is usually fine, but the big, nationwide ones are usually pretty crappy. Mainly because of the difficulty in finding good bagels.

    If i have the chance, i need to see if San Francisco has a good Jewish community, so i can get some authentic bagels, but Noah's wil have to do for now, they got good egg sandwich bagels.

    If I ever have enough extra time in the morning I'll roll through the Mickey D's drive through before work and either get a sausage mcmuffin breakfast meal or their Big Breakfast.

    I like Jack-In-The-Box's breakfast menu too.

    Sausage Biscuit, 2 hash browns, and a large OJ. It's not as good as a diner, but it's pretty damn good.

    Breakfast is pretty much the only fast-food meal I ever eat anymore.

    Me, too. Egg McMuffins have either 10 or 11 grams of fat in them (depends on the literature), which is very low compared to a standard breakfast.

    Hardee's biscuits, mmmm....

    Well I rarely eat breakfast as it is but I'm totally down with McDonald's breakfast. The hash browns alone give you all the reason to go for it. Me and my roomate just finished a final couple weeks ago and decided to get some McD's breakfast. We get the deluxe platter with hot cakes, biscuit, sausage and egg. When we get back we notice the lady forgot our hash browns. We ate in silence, bitter and angry.

    Occasionally, I have the "power breakfast" as my boss calls it: Two Sausage McMuffin with egg, hashbrown and orange juice.

    Does Chik-fil-a make anything bad? I love them, 24-hours a day.

    Every so often I'm awake and on the go early enough to get McDonalds breakfast. I usually will get a Breakfast Burrito or a Bacon, Egg and Cheese Biscuit.

    Nay on fast food for breakfast, that stuff you get is loaded with fat and salt, sometimes a daily requirement in one sandwich. If you're going to kill yourself you might as well stop at one of the mobile roachcoaches and get a five-speeed breakfast burrito. At least,that way, you won't need lunch:D
