      - what?!! I could stock up for dinners. - Epiphany Mar 20, 09:00 2
        
        I tend to just go to the work canteen downstairs. Soup and a salad £3. - LMS Mar 20, 09:05 1

  - yummy -- nm - decline Mar 20, 08:52
- Either Subway or Palace Fried Chicken which are both about five blocks away. -- nm - Krusty Mar 20, 08:50
- Tim's at the base of my building. (This is a new building, not my previous location, which also had a Tim Horton's in the base of the building) -- nm - Roger More Mar 20, 08:49 3
  - Tim's could have been my answer but it closed. -- nm - ty97 Mar 20, 08:52
  - it's like a law in Toronto. -- nm - Andie Mar 20, 08:50 1
    - I approve of this law. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 20, 08:51
- Depends how we define fast food... Starbucks if that counts. If not, Steak & Shake, if that counts. If not, McDonalds. -- nm - Ender Mar 20, 08:49
- Pizzaria, for chain would be Subways or McD's -- nm - SyrDragon Mar 20, 08:49
- Hmmm....Since the McDonald's and the Subway closed, it might be Panda Express? - ty97 Mar 20, 08:49 1
  - Hmm, Dunkin might be slightly closer than Panda Express. -- nm - ty97 Mar 20, 08:51
- Moe's/Subway. -- nm - MDH Mar 20, 08:49

    - Yeah, this is top of my "must try" chains. - Roger More Mar 20, 08:54 9
      - *giggling at the Waffle House inclusion* - Epiphany Mar 20, 08:57 6
        
        I can take new suggestions! -- nm - Roger More Mar 20, 09:04 3
        
        Whataburger, Taco Bueno, IHOP, Chick-fila ( which you likely have had) - Epiphany Mar 20, 09:06 2
        
        I've had Chick-Fil-A, and thought I'd had Whataburger, but turns out it was a Fatburger. -- nm - Roger More Mar 20, 09:13 1
        
        Taco Bueno definitely makes the list, and IHOP will have to be on a US visit that has no Coolio. -- nm - Roger More Mar 20, 09:14
        
        For a while when I was a kid, Denny's was must-try. Nearest one was hundreds of miles away. - Beryllium Mar 20, 09:00 1
        
        but...but...IHOP is the only chain dinner people should ever want - Epiphany Mar 20, 09:04
      - we had 5 Guys for the first time while in Florida this time; pretty darn good -- nm - Beaker Mar 20, 08:56
      - I tried in-n-out. And I went back. Good stuff. Neapolitan shake for the win. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 20, 08:55
    - Oh, and there's also Little Tokyo -- nm - Beryllium Mar 20, 08:49
- Tim Hortons at the base of my building. -- nm - Andie Mar 20, 08:48
- Tie between a pizza place and Subway -- nm - Beryllium Mar 20, 08:48 2
  - Closest for me would have to be the dollar pizza place, but I was thinking chains only. -- nm - ty97 Mar 20, 08:50
  - Second-nearest chain is Dairy Queen. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 20, 08:48
- Subway -- nm - mara Mar 20, 08:48 1
  - My answer is chains only as well. Probably a pizza place or a deli closer. -- nm - mara Mar 20, 08:51
- Arbys -- nm - budice Mar 20, 08:47
Lock him up! -- nm - Spawn Mar 20, 08:46 3
