I like roast beef. But just find Arby’s off-putting.
It’s the curly fries for me

The bronco dipping sauce with the jalepeno poppers is fire.

One of the best things about Arby’s was potato cakes, but then they stopped selling potato cakes, 
But now, back for a limited time, are potato cakes.

Never tried it but when Ving Rhames retires, they should come to you.
Ving Rhames was an answer in today’s NYT crossword puzzle. I saw multiple people on Reddit who said that they hadn’t heard of him before. WTF? Dude’s an icon.
MI series, Pulp Fiction, …
Maybe they’d never heard of those films, either.
'Twasn’t on the way.
Last time I had LC was maybe 1995. I’ve had Dominos maybe 10 times over the past 20 years. Had Papa Johns a few times maybe 20 years ago.
All the pizza I get these days comes from local joints. Like I mentioned above, I have no lack of choices w/in a few miles of my house. Though we usually rotate through 2 or 3 of them regularly.
(Dammit, now I want pizza…)

Yeah, there’s a few really good places around here but Mini Me prefers Papa John’s. Which is also a lot cheaper and good enough. So we often go that route, but I do like to splurge on the higher end pizza sometimes.

What is high-end? Like $30 for a pizza?
Depends a lot on the size. “Pizza for one” (PFO) can get to $20, guessing more of that is labor than ingredients.
Was at Pieology recently. They have a lunch special, but it is a smaller pizza than their regular size, which I consider PFO. Girl behind the counter had to make a special, smaller crust. It’s a Coke place, so that makes up a little for it (no Coke Zero, though.)
Again, I can starve rather than buy shit pizza (oh, I’ll eat shit pizza if bought by someone else and keep my mouth shut between bites). Our go-to place (locally-owned) has 10"x14" Detroit-style for around $30, and it’s awesome. We pick up two about once a month for a group of six of us.

Yeah
Depends on the pizza. I recognize that Papa John’s is less delicious than the nicer places, but it’s still acceptable to me and better than Pizza Hut, Dominoes or Little Caesars.
There was a place in my college town that stayed open crazy late, catering to drunk college kids after all the regular places were closed. It was awful. Super salty and greasy. Like… grease would be dripping from the pizza to your hands down your wrists & arms to your elbows and then onto your shoes as you coughed and gagged from the intense burst of salt you just inserted to your mouth.
I really can’t adequately describe the terrible-ness. Even 21 yo drunk college me couldn’t stand to eat it.
Yet as soon as some other Miami alum reads this, they will demand the university rescind my diploma while they curse my existence as a traitor who betrayed their beloved Bruno’s…

Does. Not. Compute.
Also, I only read the last part.
Uh, are we still doing “phrasing”?
Anyone been to Jollibee? It looks… interesting. Got some Filipino stuff, burgers, pasta with some kind of sweet red sauce. There is one near me (on vacation) and I think maybe we should give it a whirl.
I live adjacent to a college campus, one of the largest in the US, and there are so many pizza places and takeout joints that have very good reviews, but are legitimately awful. I have fallen for a few, and when I go back to read the reviews, they’re always “this place has terrible food, but they deliver beer to minors, 5 stars.” Or “Pizza is awful, but they’re open at 3am when I’m wasted, 4.5 stars.” It’s tough out there.

I live a mile from the University of Kansas. There is a place here, Pizza Shuttle, that is something of an institution. Open late, delivery available, and if you do carry-out or dine-in they will sell you a 10” one topping and a soda for $6.
It’s not gourmet, but it’s as good as any of the chains or a little better.
