Florida Man Weaponizes a Seasoned Chicken Sandwich in Fast Food Feud
What is it with all the fast food abuse lately? If it’s not a poisoned meatball sub, then it’s a weaponized spicy chicken sandwich. I wouldn’t want to run into this food warrior at my favorite Wawa in Fort Myers. This guy would rather his food in your eye, than his own mouth! Meet Florida man Daniel Palomino III, a 32-year-old purist of perfectly cooked poultry.
According to FOX35, In the early hours of the morning, at a Wawa in St. Petersburg, Palomino places an order for some chicken. However, when the sandwich arrives, it’s not the culinary masterpiece he had hoped for. The chicken, in Palomino’s eyes, falls short of the mark… It’s not cooked to perfection.
Now, most of us would probably settle for a being a little disgruntled or maybe muster the courage to ask for a refund. But not Palomino. He’s on a mission. He confronts a Wawa worker about the chicken injustice and allegedly takes it up a notch by tossing a piece at them. Oh, did I mention that this airborne chicken chunk was smothered in Nashville hot seasoning? Ouch, right in the poor worker’s eye.
Launching undercooked, spice-covered chicken as a form of protest might be a tad extreme, but surprise, surprise… Palomino was allegedly under the influence. After a brief time behind bars and $500 bucks later, he’s back on the streets. Hopefully a little wiser. Let’s face it, late-night munchies are sometimes necessary. But assaulting the people who make your food is not how to have it your way. Maybe next time, Palomino will order his food well done. Much safer for everyone involved.
Are These The Best French Fries In Fast Food?
It’s a timeless debate. Right up there with “is a hot dog a sandwich?” There may be no definitive answer, but it’s always worth discussing. Who has the best fries in all of fast food?
Everyone is entitled to their own option and taste (literally). However, let’s be honest, there can only be one winner. There’s only allowed to be one winner, and one fry declared the best above all the rest. One fry to rule them all.

Every Day Is Fry Day
When talking about the best fries in fast food, there are no shortage of options. That’s for sure. You’ve got your national big brands. Then you’ve got your local specialties. Then, there’s also the regional restaurants that aren’t in every state, but aren’t strictly in one city, either. We’re taking everything into consideration.
Of course, ranking the best fries in fast food is no easy task. Much like a snowflake, every list is certain to be different. I mean, they’re all on the menu for a reason. If they didn’t taste good they’d be long gone. It’s the same thing with professional sports. Even the worst player on the team is still incredible when you think about it.
I’m no stranger to fast food, the cashier at my local establishment recognizes me when I pull up in the drive-thru. It’s a blessing and a curse, I suppose. So, with that type of experience and dedication I think my list can be deemed credible and valid.

What To Look For In A Fry
Personally, I love a good crunch. A well-done fry is a fry well-done. I’m not big on wet fries or greasy soft fries. They’ve also got to be independently great. If you need ketchup or ranch in order to enjoy the fries then they must not be that great!
Consistency is key, as well. It can’t be one of those “oh one time I had them and they were fantastic, but ever since they aren’t great.” No one hit wonders here. The best fry in fast food has to be something you can depend on. It’s reliable and every time you drive-thru you know what you’re getting.
Let’s not delay. Here are my rankings of the best fries in fast food. You may agree with some, you may hate some of these picks. That’s totally up to you. I will say, some big names are off the list, and likely for a reason.

One word their curly fries can best be described as: iconic. Why not number one? They also offer crinkle cut fries. The worst type of fire of all the fries. Sometimes, I’ve even had to specify that I want the curly fries. It should be the only option.
