All fast-food joints (McDonalds, Burger King, Taco Bell, Wendy's, Carl's Jr., KFC, etc.)
edited: I remembered more crappy restaurants to add to my list.
You forgot Subway. I fucking HATE HATE HATE Subway. Whenever I see one in New York City, I think "who the fuck would eat at subway in New York fucking City?!" It makes me nuts.
The only good fast food place is Shake Shack. It rules. If anyone is ever in NYC you gotta go. Best burgers around.
-
Shake Shack makes great burgers, but In N Out make fucking great burgers.

Last time I was in California I tried to research the secret menu, then I must have badly messed up my order. The dude just stared at me blankly so I went with a regular Double Double

When we were in NYC in October, I remember thinking the same thing about a lot of fast food places. Why on earth would you eat Pizza Hut in New York. There's great pizza everywhere! Oh, and I hate Subway. The smell of that place grosses me out.

It seems that trashing popular chains like Applebees, Subway and others in the US is actually the POPULAR opinion here, not the unpopular one.
I think it's f–-ing snobby to rag on these places where millions of people eat. I eat at Subway and other chains in NYC all the time and am proud of it. I also eat at numerous other restaurants, including locally owned. Not everyone in NYC can afford to spend a lot of money on food or has the desire or time to cook for themselves. Around parts of NYC and other cities, Subway (for example) is a pretty cost-effective and comparably healthy option.
-
I'll definitely own being a snob about food. There's little that's of more importance than food. If it's a budgetary choice between eating quality food and wearing Iron Heart, I'm taking the food. If there's anything to be a snob about I think it's food.
I think that you can eat well for cheap and that eating fast food is creating a very expensive and painful health crisis in the US and abroad. Eating poorly has hidden costs, in other words.
-
A noble sentiment mclain, but the trashing on here has generally not been about health. It's been stuff like NYC pizza vs Pizza Hut pizza, or Shake Shack vs other (less expensive) fast food chains. that's pure snobbery, nothing to do with health.
Someone posted earlier "who the F eats at subway?" I can tell you who eats in them here: FDNY; cops; construction workers; people who work in stores in the area. People for whom $5-6 for lunch is the budget. But yeah, let's trash them for not being able to eat as well as those of us who can afford $400 jeans. F–ing joke.

Gents, this thread was always going to be a bit inflammatory, other wise the opinions expressed would not be unpopular (as the title suggests). However, there is a difference between expressing an unpopular opinion and trash talking or getting personal.
The beauty of this forum is that we conduct ourselves with good humour (for the most part), and this thread should absolutely not be an exception.
There have been opinions expressed on certain things in here that I a directly opposed to, and I know that I have expressed opinions that some of you are also opposed to (American Sports leaps to mind), but we take it in good grace and move on.
If we cannot manage this I will ask the mod team to lock it up, as I don't want my dumb ass idea to be the source of animosity.
If anyone wants to tell me to piss off please do it over PM and I will respond in kind

Yeah I'm with you on not trashing working class people… I've worked minimum wage jobs, worked in sweltering warehouses, digging ditches, lived paycheck to paycheck, even on a day-to-day basis (Laborfinders, show up in the morning, work your ass off on some project somewhere, collect a minimum wage paycheck at the end of the day). Living like that is hard and it deserves respect, not condescension or derision.
What I hate is that the apparent cheapness and ready availability of fast food lures the poor and desperate in, but in the end doesn't really provide satiety (so you eat a shit ton of it) or good nutrition. I grew up in Mississippi, the most obese state in America, and the poorest. This is no coincidence. Turns out that industrial fast foods are loaded with carbs, so it's not like these people are going out and having steak and shrimp to get so obese, they are eating the foods with the lowest up front costs and most ready availability. I get sick of hearing "if you're so desperately poor, how come you're so fat?"
Sorry for the OT rant.
Back on topic...
Ummmmmm... I don't generally like exposed labels.
