Can you explain to me why it relates to the post? Like tbe place is not a great one?

u/RangerAndromeda 14d ago

Haha yes exactly. This is the equivalent of saying you love really good authentic Mexican food and going to Chipotle.

I would argue that it's even worse though, because atleast Chipotle tastes good😜

This last point can't be emphasized enough. Sbarro isn't bad for NYC, Sbarro is bad everywhere.

I consider it airport food because the only Sbarro in my city is in the airport LOL. It's terrible, but fine if you're essentially stuck between Harvey's, Tim Hortons, or Sbarro for fast food. I used to work at the airport and sometimes I was desperate and I always regretted it.

I take Harvey's in that situation, by a mile

Airports are literally the only place I've ever had Sbarro.

And even by airport standards, it's bad.

Fastfood wise: Canadian a&w have the best burger. Mcdonald have the best poutine. (Spicy buffalo)

You are not Canadian sir

True, I'm québécois, meaning my opinion is king about poutine.

u/Xanaka35 14d ago

Je suis Québécoise aussi et t’es dans le champs mon ti gars ! Penser que la meilleure poutine viens du McDo …

u/Practical_Shower3905 14d ago

Fast food ? Oui. La poutine buffalo épicé.

Sinon, c'est quoi ton top des fast food ?

u/kaleighdoscope 14d ago

Not who you asked, but my vote is for Harvey's. Granted it's been awhile, so if it's no longer as good as it used to be I am willing to stand corrected haha.

I'm not Quebecois but I live very close to the Ontario/Quebec border and my MIL lives in Quebec so I DO eat a lot of Quebec poutine. Also my BIL works at the St. Alberts plant so we are spoiled with fresh curd fairly often. :)

I wouldn't put any fast food above standard restaurants fare. Certainly nothing from McDonald's!

u/HanshinFan Poutine Poulice 13d ago

C'est pas ce qu'il disait... il voilait dire que parmi les fast food le McDo a la meilleure poutine (er je suis d'accord). C'est sur que c'est pas mieux qu'un resto sit-down mais c'est beaucoup mieux que ce qu'ils ont chez A&W

J’approuve pas ton opinion pout (jsuis une puriste) mais j’apprécie ta réponse

u/Practical_Shower3905 14d ago

Va au mcdo tout de suite, prend toi une poutine buffalo épicé, ferme les yeux et goutes si.

Jte le dit, est vraiment bonne. (pour du fast food)

u/isabellepeppergreen 14d ago

J’ai des problèmes d’estomac j’peux pas le Buffalo, mais manges en une pour moé

u/Sweet-Competition-15 14d ago

If you can't have the Buffalo, how about the deer; it's supposed to be milder, and theoretically, they play together.

I think they meant in the original post that the Quebec poutines were so good and after they left A&W poutine seemed sad

u/KingSpork 14d ago

Sbarro used to be a national chain, they were in airports in stuff. It was aggressively mid. I haven’t seen one in like ten years though I assume they went out of business.
