Rating fast food restaurants can strike snooty foodies as a pointless exercise -- sort of like having a poll to decide which mass murderer has the best hair style. I'm not so dismissive about all fast food -- sure, it's junk, but if you're one of those people who actually work for a living, and have kids to tend to, it can pay keeping a critical eye out for relatively tasty options. Well, the lofty-minded Zagat guide, usually a haven for more refined ideals of eating, has just released its fast-food survey, done in conjunction with (?) "The Today Show." In it, we discover that people may actually have taste buds after all -- the consistently execrable McDonald's is rated below Wendy's and Burger King; upscale sandwich shop Panera Bread was judged best fast food overall; and Outback (a decent value, IMHO) took honors as best full-service chain. In what may get my award for Greatest Irony Ever, however, the participants actually had the nerve to say that their No. 2 concern in fast food dining is nutrition.
Huh?
