Fast food frenzy

It's pretty rare that I eat fast food, but inspired by two pages of coupons on my kitchen counter, I took a trip to a new (and very friendly) Arby's in my hometown. After my incessant ranving about how amazing their mozzarella sticks are, I went looking for the results of a ZAGAT survey from a few months ago, which rated America's best fast food places and favorite specific items.

I'm certainly not pushing for The BK King to be the best mascot; that thing is incredibly creepy, but my beef with this list--Where's Arby's? Saladworks? And most importantly...Taco Bell?!
