Cake donuts take on Fajitas and Boneless wings coming off a big upset.

So which do you think, overall, is a better place to eat?

Take into consideration:

Value
Taste
Atmohsphere
Service

and anything else that would make a place a more desirable eating destination.

I've never been to Chili's but everything is better than cake donuts.

redneck

why on God's green earth would someone buy a donut that HAS NOTHING INSIDE IT?

we have them up here- they're called "mistakes" and don't make it into the box. They go in the circular file by the door.

Don't question a cop on donuts.

(figured I'd post that before someone else did)

DD is so underrated by this board and I can't figure out why. Maybe because there isn't one here. Whenever I travel, I stop if I see one. Blueberry cake, Lemon filled, Boston Cream, jelly filled munchkins, apple fritters. Really the only thing I don't like there is the ones filled with that thick frosting. But I don't even know if they have those anymore.

It was about the same time that they sold me a cake donut. Nothing makes me appreciate KK like DD.

Chili's. I like Dunkin Donuts but Chili's is better, IMO.

Chili's has the variety. DD is OK, but I'd rather have a hot glazed Krispie Kreme.

that would be the chocolate filled poweder. Delish.

but a mess, especially on the dark uniform. I go with the Boston Creme.

I knew you'd have to back me on this- there's 4 per block in NE

plus- there's the coffee

This is one of the strangest pairings yet. I don't drink coffee so DD loses some of its lustre with me. On the other hand, Chilis brings very little to the table other than Texas-themes walls and some decent burgers.

There is more to life than donuts (& iced coffee); my vote goes to Chili's.

Yes, portillos and dunkin donuts, two of the finest things around. Food in chicago is so much better than anywhere else. I miss me my portillos, my dunkin donuts, my gino's, and my fuddruckers

There is no Fuddruckers in Lynchburg? Red Robin? I guess Five Guys has a corner on the burger market until after hours when the Texas Inn takes over.

There is a Red Robin in Roanoke...I think the 5 guys burger is better, but Red Robin has much more variety.

And no matter how many fries they stuff into your paper bag at Five Guys... it's still not unlimited.

Red Robin over 5 Guys b/c of the atmosphere...and the tower of ONION RINGS!

We have a Red Robin just by my house back home...I have a friend that works there. Id definitely give teh nod to Red Robin over 5 Guys...for the sake of this matchup though, I like DD (not as much as KK though) but Im goin with Chili's

Yeah, I would much rather have red robin or fuddruckers than five guys, but five guys is def the best place in lynchburg. I really dont like their fries too much though
