You ever eaten food so good you start dancing?
Get them shoulders going first?
That's where I'm at right now.
Hello.
My name is Matt and welcome to Bless Your Rank; This is Alabama edition.
Let's start with the criteria to be in the competition.
#1.
You have to be headquartered in Alabama, so don't be commenting, What about McDonalds?
cause that ain't from Alabama.
#2.
You have to have at least 5 locations.
I realize that is a lot of numbers.
but just work with me here.
#3.
You need drive thrus cause that's what makes it fast food.
If I have to get out of my truck and walk in, it's slow food because I am not fast.
Also I realize that this means I will have to exclude one of my favorite Alabama fast
food establishments, Sneaky Peter's, affectionately know as Sneaky Pete's.
Cause they have put all of their restaurants in gas stations now.
As if you couldn't already get hot dogs in gas stations.
Another criteria, but I'm not going to say it's the 4th criteria because 4 things is
a weird number.
We're gonna stick with 3.
No barbecue restaurants.
Here's how I will be judging the food today.
#1 the taster because that's how you judge food.
How else are you judging food you monster?
#2, overall experience at the restaurant.
3 the Alabama-ness, which is a very real word that I just made up.
Let's eat!
Competitor number one, perhaps the heavy weight of this competition; Jack's.
You go back, back, back, to Jack, Jack, Jack's, for more more more.
If we were judging theme songs...
Let's see what's inside!
Frenchy fries!
And a burger.French fries...
I've never really been that crazy about Jack's fries.
They have a special seasoning that goes on it but they ration it out.
Nobody goes to Jack's for their french fries.
Do they?
I don't think, they shouldn't.
What have we got here from Jack's?
I believe we've got a Big Jack.
The ratio of meat to bun is pretty good.
You don't want to take a bite of your burger and just get bread.
I want to taste whatever animal that we just slaughtered.
Uh, looking at a pretty standard-- we got some pickles, what appears to be lettuce.
Let's take a bite!
Lettuce is going everywhere.
That's pretty good.
I haven't had a Big Jack in a while.
I'll be honest, I go to Jack's here lately I've been getting the chicken fingers cause
they made me angry about the buns.
But that is good.
also I haven't eaten in 12 hours.
You know, you don't really have terrible experiences at Jack's.
I will say I'm a little frustrated that they've been doing these renovations.
When I walk into Jack's I want to see about 20 old men gathered around arguing about politics
by an old fireplace that doesn't work.
I want to see little cheap metal ash trays on all the tables.
I want my Big Jack with a side of marlboro smoke.
But this is good.
I know Jack's breakfast game is a whole other level.
But this is strong.
Let's just cut the cameras off.
Let me eat this, we'll go get another one.
Alright Jack's!
Well you are in 1st place.
I have no idea how this is going to turn out.
We have some very passionate fast food fans in Alabama and some of you are going to get
very angry with how this ends.
And I want you just to know that I will be angry too.
Our 2nd competitor; Guthrie's. No one's quality shifts from really good to what happened in
the kitchen as much as Guthrie's does.
But when Guthrie's is on, they are good.
This is looking pretty good.
Got some slaw.
Does anyone eat the slaw from the Chicken Finger places?
First of all the sauce, which at Guthrie's is the boss.
That's a free rhyme for you.
This is a good batch of Guthrie's.
This was good.
So we didn't tell any of these restaurants that we were coming to order food from them
to judge them on the internet.
Because I really believe that you're only as good as your worst burger or chicken finger.
I actually had Guthrie's last night and it was not that good.
The fries and the chicken tasted like shrimp.
Shrimp is not on the menu at Guthrie's.
And I would've much rather had a shrimp po boy.
I don't know what they put in this kind of sauce but it is heavenly.
You dip your chicken fingers in it, then you dip your fries in it.
You dip your toast in it.
You dip your fingers in it.
You dip other people's fingers in it.
It gets weird.
But Guthrie's has good sauce consistently.
Going back to the atmosphere, Guthrie's is pretty like, they maintain this level.
The Guthrie's that I'm most familiar with used to have rolling chairs.
They were like office chairs that would roll around the restaurant.
It was weird and I liked it.
Alabamaness; it's fried.
So yeah!
I don't know.
Is it better than Jack's?
Did y'all see that box just magically disappear?
This is going to be a very tough day.
So taste right now, this right here taste better than the Jack's thing.
Overall, experiences that I've had restaurants, Jack's has it beat.
Guthrie's was on their game today, but overall I'm gonna have to give the lead here to Jack's
because they do have breakfast.
our 3rd competitor is Taco Casa.
Which it's the one restaurant that is in the competition today that I am the least familiar
with.
Taco Casa!!
Where good times are in the bag!
Is this a hamburger?
A Taco burger?
Oh, I am about this.
We'll get back to that.
This looks like something that was left over from someone's Christmas party.
Bob make sure you take some of this home with you!
Ok, I'm gonna try the taco burger first cause I didn't know this existed.
This is really just the ingredients of a taco on a hamburger bun.
Welcome inside the taco burger.
Taco meat, taco sauce, lettuce, tomato, oh there's cheese in here too.
Where has this been all of my life?
This is genius.
I'm very familiar with Taco Bell.
I figured Taco Casa would kind of be in that lane and oh my God the more I'm talking the
hotter this is getting.
They don't lie when they write hot all over the wrapper here.
This is a warning.
This is not decoration.
Can you put sour cream on this?
That would be good.
You know when it's hot and it gets you and attacks your throat like that but you kind
of enjoy it.
It's kind of like that right there.
It's hot like it's trying to kills me, but I'm gonna let it take me.
Pretty standard looking taco. five percent meat, 94.5 percent lettuce.
That's just a taco.
That's not anything to write home about.
It's good.
it's better than a taco bell taco.
Tomatoes are fresh.
And next we have the leftover chips and dip from the Christmas party at some office in
Tuscaloosa.
Did they really give it to you like that?
What kind of sauce is this?
Oh my gosh, there's meat in this thing.
When in doubt, add meat to something.
That's just how you make everything better.
First little bite when I got some of the dip is really good, but then I got hit with like
this basic ball park little league game.
The tortilla chips are really good though.
Oh this is tough.
Does Taco Casa do biscuits and gravy in the morning?
No they do not.
And for that reason Taco Casa will be right behind Jack's but ahead of Guthries.
Nothing at Guthries has ever changed my life in a positive way.
It's given me some health issues.
I want to be a spokesperson for Taco Casa now.
Our 4th competitor is a chicken finger chain from south Alabama called Foosackly's, which
is also what I lived off of in college.
Again, chicken finger restaurants with the cole slaw, what are you even doing?
This is great!
I think Foosackly's gives you a little bit more bang for your buck with chicken.
Some of these chicken finger places now are charging outrageous amounts of money for chicken
fingers because apparently that stuff is more valuable than gold.
I will say this; the food is really, really good.
Consistently Foosackly's is always great.
Foosackly's sauce is the best.
No regrets.
I've always wanted to do something though.
Pardon me, Guthries.
Not even close.
Foosackly's has got the sauce.
If I'm gonna say that Foosackly's is lacking in any area, and it hurts me to say this,
it would be the bread.
Guthries has them beat.
They're using Texas Toast.
Foosackly's is just using leftover bread from the stockpile you had for the snowstorm of
2004.
Now, for the greatest trick you've ever seen; watch me make this garbage disappear.
Here's the thing, people in Mobile, are passionate about their Foosackly's and rightfully so
because it is very very good chicken.
But we're not here judging chicken fingers today.
Although, I'd like to do that.
So, I'm gonna write that down; Matt wants to eat a lot of chicken fingers for free.
We're judging overall, the best Alabama fast food restaurants.
There is a lot that comes in there with that.
And I have to ask myself, is Foosackly's the best in Alabama?
Jack's is better than Foosackly's.
I did it.
I did it.
I did it.
Over all, they just go more stuff on the menu.
They got milkshakes at Jack's.
I don't know what I'm gonna do.
I wish this was upward basketball and I could say that you're all winners and we're not
keeping score.
But this is life and we are keeping score.
And I hate to inform you that the fifth competitor in this competition holds a very special place
in my heart; Milos!
Milo's hamburgers.
It's important that we say that Milo's does one thing really well and they should stay
in that lane.
Although they started adding breakfast and that's a game changer.
Their breakfast is good.
They have Conecuh Sausage.
What happened here?
What are you doing?
Not gonna eat that.
Psych!
Oh God!
Oh Man.
I don't know what that was, but you didn't order it.
I know that.
Not a strong start Milo's!
Starting off with the fries like we did most places, as I said earlier, Milo's is not stingy
with their fry seasoning.
Look at that.
Look how orange that is.
First off, let me go ahead and point this out.
Milo's back in the day used to just like, it was a sauce explosion every time you opened
your wrapper up.
It was impossible to eat a Milo's burger and drive.
Now they don't do that.
Now they're getting a little stingy with the sauce I think.
So if you got just the standard single cheeseburger, you're still gonna get just a little extra
meat.
Bonus meat as I call it.
Milo's keeps it simple.
Cheese, meat, sauce, chopped onions and pickles.
I always want to take a burger from Milo's and just run it on whatever sauce they gave
you on your wrapper just to get things extra saucy.
Then take one of your fries, also dip that in the sauce on the wrapper.
And I'm out of sauce already.
Milo's is good.
Milo's has kind of done the same thing that Jack's is doing though when they're renovating
their restaurants.
I think Milo's did it first.
There is a noticeable difference in the food after they've renovated.
Stop trying to be fancy.
We like you because you're a little rough around the edges.
I need to refer back to the 3 things that we're judging this on.
Which, number one is taste.
They have the best fries up here.
Those are the best fries that you can get, not just in Alabama but anywhere.
The burger is great and how may other restaurants give you bonus meat?
They're meat stingy.
Not Milo's.
They're meat generous.
That's one word.
It's not even hyphenated.
It's just "meatgenerous".
And now they have breakfast.
And for breakfast they give you Conecuh Sausage.
As far as the Alabama-ness goes, that's peak Alabama-ness.
You got breakfast, you got lunch, you got dinner, you got milkshakes.
You got a sauce bar.
Used to be you had to back there and ask for sauce and she'd pull out this giant container
and just squirt it wherever you wanted.
On your burger, on your fries, in your mouth, in your shirt pocket.
Whatever you felt like doing.
Now, it's just like you can do as much as you want to.
I'm gonna have to say, as much as I really love these places here.
Milo's is the best fast food restaurant in Alabama.
What have we learned here today?
Milo's is the greatest.
Jack's needs to go back to their old hamburger buns if they want to take this seriously.
And taco burgers are the greatest invention ever made.
In 5th place; is Guthries.
4th place; Taco Casa. 3rd place; Foosackly's.
2nd place; Jack's.
And in 1st place; The king of Alabama fast food, Milo's.
I think I'm gonna finish this one off.
What if I put Milo's sauce on the taco burger?
Y'all may want to turn the cameras off for this.
It's gonna get wild.
