There’s a food question worth pondering: spend a mortgage payment on a Michelin-starred tasting menu or enjoy hundreds of fast-food cheeseburgers for the same price?
We may never know the answer, but in the meantime, the drive-through calls. Sure, fine dining feels celebratory, but so does a last-minute fast-food binge. Maybe you’re on a road trip, recovering from a rough talking-to by the boss or still hungry after that tiny Michelin-starred meal. And then you see it: an oasis of burgers and fries.
But where do you go when the only cure for a day is dipping something fried into something saucy? That’s where this list comes in—America’s best fast-food restaurants, ranked. None of them have won a Michelin star, but all of them will make your car smell incredible.
