I'm not really fast food girl. It's only acceptable if:
A) If there's no other option for miles and you're so ravenous, you're about to tear off your own arm, dip it in honey mustard and self-cannibalize.
B) If you're shame-eating and/or hungover because when dealing with the latter, a frosty fountain Diet Coke might just save your life.
But I'll make an exception every single time for Sonic for four reasons:
A) Massive drink selection. I am down with tasty beverages and the fact that I can customize a delightful soft drink at Sonic does my little ticker good. Bonus points for their Happy Hour where a girl can get a giant unsweetened blackberry-mint iced tea for $1.21. Dudes, I literally paid for this with the change I found in my car. It was awesome.
B) Milkshakes. I am not sweets girl and would much rather shovel pizza into my vast and gaping maw than ice cream any day of the week. But every now and then, I get a jones for a sweet treat and Sonic's milkshakes fulfill that need every time. The coconut cream pie shakes taste like a first kiss, the banana shakes have real banana in them and I would commit an act of bodily harm if you stood between me and a chocolate malt.
C) Onion Rings. It is tough to make a good onion ring. Some places feature slimy onions, some places have crappy breading (rhymes with Fake's Fayback Furgers) and some places are Burger King (It's just water and reconstituted onion powder in the shape of a ring! What the hell is that all about? That's not an onion ring! That's the sweatpants of the fast food world!). Sonic's onion rings have a perfect onion-to-breading ratio, they're crunchy and they use this magical batter that I want to pour over everything so I can deep-fry my entire life.
D) The Supersonic Burrito. Lemme crack an egg of knowledge here. Unless I'm sitting down at a joint or making them myself, I don't eat eggs out. That fake egg-like good utilized by pretty much every breakfast retailer in the nation? I don't roll with that.
But the SuperSonic Burrito (sans sausage 'cause in the words of House of Pain, I never eat pork 'cause a pig is a cop) is pretty much the greatest breakfast sandwich out there.
Eggs, tomatoes, onions, jalapenos, cheese and tater tots encased in a soft, warm tortilla.
Let me break this down for you in case you're sitting in the cheap seats:
They put the tots IN the burrito. IN! So, you take a bite and of all a sudden, a nubbin of deliciously crispy potato hugs your mouth.
My only lament regarding the SuperSonic Breakfast Buritto is that it isn't the same size as a Chipotle burrito. Because dear God, I would love to inhale one of Mack Trucks of deliciousness and then, promptly slip into the world's happiest food coma.
AND they're served all day long until Mickey D's Only Until 10:30 bullshit.
If you're starving and looking for a quick bite, ditch the clown and the king and go Sonic. read more
