Fast-casual restaurants are the new craze sweeping America. Which of the top 16 choices (taken from this link: click here for list) are your favorites? You can select up to 4 options.

Some of my favorites that didn't make the cut:
#17: Noodles and Company
#18: Einstein Bros. Bagels
#23: Pei Wei Asian Diner
#26: Smashburger
#31: Fazoli's
#32: Rubio's
#40: Newk's Eatery

I have had only one of these and i will not support it by voting for it

So many of these aren’t around me/I’ve never heard of them

Only one I’ve ever been to is Five Guys which is p great

So Fast-Casual rather than Fast-Food, got it seems like we have already had one of these.

But I'll bite... haha

Panera
Chipolte
Qdoba
Jimmy Johns

5-6 of those I've never even heard of.

Raising Cane's is the only one I haven't heard of in that list, and Zaxby's is the only other one I haven't eaten at. Although, I could change that easily, as there are a couple of Zaxby's here in Little Rock.

Voted Zaxby's and Raising Cane's because they're the only two from the slideshow that look like somewhere I would go. But I think Chipolte is the only one of these anywhere near here, and I'm actually not at all sure about whether we have one.

Panera Bread
Chipotle
Panda Express
Jimmy John's
Zaxby's
Five Guys
Wingstop
Qdoba
Jersey Mike's Subs
Jason's Deli
Firehouse Subs
Moe's Southwest Grill
Boston Market
Raising Cane's
McAlister's Deli
Dickey's Barbeque Pit

I've eaten at a few, only ones I've heard of but never eaten at are Zaxby's, McAllister's and Firehouse.

Nevermind we have most of these

but not Zaxby's or Raising Cane's.

Noodles n company is the nut, people here love that shit

qdoba - hands down the best burrito place, queso is bomb too (moe's is up there too but i only wanna pic 1)
jason's deli - they fucking give you stacks of meat bro like MOUNTAINS. and they have this black currant tea that is pretty orgasmic. also their free ice cream is the bees knees
panda express - fucking classic, shit is fire. my parents hate fast food and even they loved that place
five guys - amazing ass burgers that you can pack phat, their fries are pretty good too. and free peanuts, who doesn't like that?!

Also panera bread is the fucking worst.
Somehow every time I get a sandwich there it has this disgusting sauce on it, might be horseradish-like? I can't quite put my finger on it but it's vile.

First: why is five guys fast casual and not fast food?

Second: IGOR GET A FUCKING BREAD BOWL YOU GOON

Chipolte, Raising Canes, McAlisters

Raising Cane is very similar to Zaxby's, the guy who started it has a neat story.

He wrote his business plan in college, got the lowest grade, and the professor told him it would never work.

Because you can't drive thru? No idea.

Literally not a single one of these exists in England

Raising Cane's looks a whole lot like a chain we have here in Little Rock called Slim Chickens that my daughter loves.

Sorry, I guess the poll is something more US-centric.
