Five Fast-Food Items Professional Chefs Love

When you hit up a fast-food joint, are you ordering something a professional CHEF would be proud of?

Short answer, no. Long answer . . . nooooooooooo. But here are a few things even THEY can’t pass up.

“Food & Wine” asked professional chefs to name the top fast-food item they personally love to order. Here’s what they said . . .

1. Popeyes fried chicken. Three different chefs had it on their list. One of them said, “I have never considered Popeyes [to be] fast food. To me, it’s a fried chicken restaurant.”

2. The Impossible Whopper. It’s a decent burger if you’re looking for a vegetarian option.

3. McNuggets. Even food snobs love chicken nuggets. “Food & Wine” linked to a recent article on how “elevated” nuggets have even become a thing at a handful of fine-dining restaurants.

4. KFC’s Chicken Sandwich. The chef that listed it said they were working on a fried chicken concept and tested out every sandwich they could find. KFC’s was their favorite.

5. In-N-Out Cheeseburgers. The ingredients are fresh, and it’s just a solid burger overall. The only catch is it’s not always “FAST” food. The lines at In-N-Out can be pretty long.
