    I prefer chips and dip,soda burger king whopper w/cheese.For fast food I look for neither quality or cost.The chains use the same recipe and cost..I don't like chicken but bacon and fish ill eat.Fish has to have lots of tater sauce.I don't have a set time for breakfast.Could be noon before I eat.I don't drink so no answer on that.My dream food is Outback steak house.When im on the road and within 5 miles of where I stop to take my brk,I don't have a problem with dropping the trailer and head to Outback and get a dinner to go.I also like Olive Garden.

    I'd say BurgerKing, but I know of more McDs with truck parking.

    If I am buying a dinner (versus eating out of the truck), dinner over lunch, and never bfast.

    Quality. But it really boils down to truck parking

    Chicken, fish, then burger

    If I dine in, 30 to 45 minutes. If it's on the road, the amount of time it takes me to place the order. Fast food 8 to 10 bucks, restaurant dining, about 15.

    At home an occasional beer. Dry on the road.

    Gyros any time. I also love a good Chicago style hot dog with fries

    Gyros (pronounced yee-ros, or hee-ros, sorta like heros) is best descibed from their Wikipedia entry. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyro_(food)

    "In the United States, gyros are made from lamb or a combination of beef and lamb. Chicken gyros are sometimes seen as well. The bread served with gyros in the U.S. resembles a Greek 'plain' pita. The traditional accompaniments are tomato, onion, and tzatziki, sometimes called "cucumber", "yogurt", or "white" sauce. Some establishments use plain sour cream in lieu of tzatziki sauce. Such sandwiches are often served in luncheonettes or diners."
