There is no other fast food chain burger patty that tastes as good as Smash.
I don't even need any condiments on it. Just give me the patty. Oh, and some of those olive oil fries, please.

KK is like the McD's quarter pounder. Assembly line, manufactured, plastic-like.

You clearly were born without any taste buds.
I tried Smashburger once and it was about the greasiest messiest burger I had ever had.
I couldn't even enjoy it because of all the grease and the burger kept falling apart.
Don't even get me started on KK.
No other donut place even comes CLOSE.

You say this like it's a bad thing! LOL!
The more fat in the burger, the better the taste. BRING IT ON!

Eat what your body was meant to function on (protein, fat and slow carbs like fruits and vegetables) and you can eat until you're blue in the face and not gain weight, and with VERY LITTLE exercise. Exercise for heart/muscle health, but don't bother if your goal is to lose weight.

Best $15 you'll spend in your life. Heck, it might even save your life.
Amazon.com: Why We Get Fat: And What to Do About It (9780307272706): Gary Taubes: Books
so you are advocating being able to eat as much as you want all the time. fat is what the body runs on so i can eat endless donuts, never exercise and not gain weight? sounds like a reformist tubby. i run and all the exercise i do is run. don't watch what i eat but i tend to like healthy things so i eat pretty well. i'm the same size i was my senior year in high school a decade ago. personal experiences always vary but don't talk about fiction like its fact

yeah cardiovascular exercise is no way to lose weight....

They are also much too sweet to me. I actually like cake donuts generally speaking, but without glaze and must have lots of coffee to go along with them.

Btw if you're into pastry and don't mind grocery store bakeries, I think Randalls makes the best apple fritters: dark, and especially, crunchy on the outside and soft inside, with just enough apple bits for flavor....unlike most other stores' "fritters" which usually taste like a generic fried cinnamon bun in the shape of a fritter with way too much apple filling (not just bits) crammed into them.

I'm just sitting thinking that I can't believe that Houston doesn't have a KK. Dang, it seems like, from what I read, that chains aren't really Houston-friendly. LOL!

Houston almost only has chains with the exception of Mexican taquerías and other good immigrant food.
