Fast-Food Professional Chefs Love
When you hit up a fast-food joint, are you ordering something a professional CHEF would be proud of? Short answer, no (the long answer, nooooooooooo). “Food & Wine” asked professional chefs to name the top fast-food item they personally love to order. Here’s what they said . . .
- Popeyes Fried Chicken.
Three different chefs had it on their list. With one saying “I have never considered Popeyes [to be] fast food. To me, it’s a fried chicken restaurant.”
- The Impossible Whopper.
It’s a decent burger if you’re looking for a vegetarian option.
- McNuggets.
Even food snobs love chicken nuggets. “Food & Wine” recently posted a story on how “elevated” nuggets have even become a thing at a handful of fine-dining restaurants.
- KFC’s Chicken Sandwich.
The chef that listed it said they were working on a fried chicken concept, tested out every sandwich they could find, and KFC’s was their favorite.
- In-N-Out Cheeseburgers.
The ingredients are fresh, and it’s just a solid burger overall. The only catch is, it’s not always “FAST” food. The lines at In-N-Out can be pretty long.
