Imagine this. You are a student at the University of Texas at Austin. Day in and day out, you are constantly grinding to make good grades. "Free time" and "fun" are not words commonly used around you (just kidding, by the way, the place is an insane amount of fun). When you're not working, you're squeezing a meal into that busy schedule of yours, so it has to be fast. Dazed and stressed, you find yourself on the struggle bus, contemplating which fast food restaurant to race off to. The answer to your problem is simple. Go to the corner of Martin Luther King Boulevard and Guadalupe Street. There, you will find yourself in heaven, dodging traffic to run to any of your favorite spots including Dominos, Papa John's Pizza, McDonald's, Subway, Taco Cabana, and the two newest additions to the fast food clan, Chick-fil-A and Raising Cane's.
Mind blown. I know. But a new problem arises. Which place do you go to eat? Here is a quick analysis of each place listed above in hopes of facilitating your decision. Knocking two of the restaurants out of the equation is easy, Dominos and Papa John's are better for delivery. If you are trying to go through the drive-thru window or sit down at a place, these are not the best options. Also, their pizza is mediocre at best (coming from a New Yorker so try not to take it personally).
Next I will eliminate McDonald's. With options like the options that exist, I would seriously question anyone's judgement if they said, "Let's go to McDonald's!"
Next up at bat is Subway. Now I am not going to bash on Subway because we all saw how successful Jared was strictly eating Subway sandwiches, but with Which Wich and The Pita Pit within walking distance from the intersection, Subway strikes out, swinging though.
Taco Cabana is next, and simply put, fast food tacos are always an interesting choice. If you have a stomach made of iron, then go for it! But I will rate this quality of restaurant somewhere on the lower end of Chipotle, Qdoba, or Cabo Bobs, but higher than Taco Bell. It is practically a gourmet meal!
This is where it gets hard. The two best restaurants are clearly Chick-fil-A and Raising Cane's. They compete for not only the best restaurant on this specific intersection, but they compete for best fast food chicken restaurant ever! The "Canes sauce" rivals the "Chick-fil-A sauce," and the chicken from each place is different, yet equally amazing. You cannot go wrong with either, so a stop at either will surely get get you off "the struggle bus."
