We are getting a Jollibee, it’s Filipino fried chicken chain from California here in Tacoma shortly and many rave about it so my fried chicken ranks could change soon depending.

I still need to try Jollibee. We have one here in Sacramento. My wife doesn't like fried chicken (or can't eat it) so it's something we don't get too often.

One of the best experiences I had with fried chicken was at a tiny spot in Nob Hill, San Francisco. I got their sweet chili wings with a waffle and it was heaven.

Without In N' Out representation this ranking loses all context and/or credibility.

I'm with you on Blood Orange although I have no strong feelings on beyonce's music one way or another. I have only ever heard the beyonce song with jack white (which I did not like) and that southern gothic video, which I thought was genius. i don't know the name of it, the initial instrument is like a really echoey and effected jew's harp.

Yes. It is adjacent to Qdoba where I live.
Above all, this is the important point. I would much rather seek out these types of spots (or family-owned) if I can help it.
Over half of my tierlist was on memory, with much of it being establishments I haven't visited in years.
I haven't experienced. I do know that at least one location is set to open two miles away from where I live. Not thrilled about the traffic this will create.

Cool. I think the first place that it showed in North America was California or maybe it was just that Anthony Bourdain introduced me to chain while visiting LA on one of his TV Shows years ago.

Man, I love Qdoba. I'd eat there all the time if we had one. Even living in SoCal before, there were only ever a couple (and mostly in L.A.)
And even weirder, Jollibee owns 100% of Smashburger, which is one of my favorite burger chains

With full ownership of the brand, Smashburger's 351 stores join Philippines-based restaurant giant Jollibee, which itself has more than 4,300 units across a dozen brands in the Philippines, China, Vietnam

They opened a Smash Burger in Bloomington IL right before we moved out here but I never got a chance to try it.Man, I love Qdoba. I'd eat there all the time if we had one. Even living in SoCal before, there were only ever a couple (and mostly in L.A.)

We had two in the Bay Area when we lived there (one in Oakland, one in Alameda) but both closed over the course of a year or two.
We currently have three that I know of here in the Sacramento area and they are always busy
I could do this but my rankings will be based on what items on their menu are gluten free, thus I can actually eat there.
My kid loves pizza. He will eat any pizza including frozen pizza voraciously. He refuses to eat Little Caesar’s.

Gf is a pain in the ass for fast food. Taco Bell putting gluten in all of their meat is the biggest pain in the ass.

'Back in the day' Little Caesar's had actual restaurants with all that you mentioned above, plus short films rolling of things like "Football Follies," and the pizza was good...
...and now, it's crap. I don't blame your son. The Hot & Ready is just lousy pizza.

My wife and I get pizza maybe once a month and Little Caesars is probably the best of the fast food/casual pizza places here but there's not a lot of options. We get the Detroit style pizza, and it's a lot cheaper than going to some of the nicer pizza places in the area.

Years ago when I lived in another state, a friend and I used to hang out often. We'd usually make a trip to the beer store and then I'd want to go into the supermarket for a premade sandwich or something else (it was a high end supermarket with a lot of premade options) and he'd always want to go to Little Caesar's. He'd end up eating the whole pizza all by himself but he'd always regret it and complain and then end up running to the bathroom like an hour later. I asked why, and he'd say because it's good for less than $10, but that's about it.

This is the pivotal factor for why Little Caesar's hangs on to the C-tier singlehandedly. Likely F-tier if it were not present on the menu.
They don’t do that anymore!!
I can eat their crunchy tacos, Doritos tacos, and their power bowls. Taco Bell is actually pretty up there in my fast food tier list because I can get a complete meal from them. The only thing I can eat at Sonic is the tater tots, so I drown my sorrow in a snickers blast.

Was not aware of that. Will need to check it out. Not sure my health coach will appreciate me gaining this knowledge.
