The real thing the US fast food market is missing is Indian food and it could be a serious game changer in terms of providing healthier / vegetarian options.
Upvoted, but I only partly agree. The way things are now you can order takeout from local small businesses, and there won’t be consistent quality or speed or prices, but they’re not a huge corporate machine. (At least at the endpoints).
A big conglomerate moving into the space may put most of the local ones under.
There’s an indian place by my work that has a tikka masala wrap, thought it was genius as a takeaway item. Super delicious, but an extreme mess… the idea that it would be portable was a big miss.
My area has a really high Indian population, which means our local restaurants have a lot of Indian fusion. There is a sports bar near me that sells a chicken tikka masala thin-crust pizza that is amazing. It’s basically like eating crispy naan with chicken and tikka masala drizzled over the top. I wouldn’t have thought of combining the two, but it works so well.
Something like the 3 Cheese Flatbread Melt from Taco Bell, but with tikka masala filling. Could be paneer instead of chicken for a veg option. Small and cheap should be possible here
I generally agree, especially if you could get like naan burritos. Something quick and easy to make
Similarly in ohio and a few other places there’s a place called piada which basically is Chipotle but Italian food and I miss it so much. It’s such good fast casual

I’ve been having frozen samosas for lunch lately and you aren’t wrong

I want a fast soup restaurant. Very healthy vegan soup, which may take a while to make, but it’s already made in the morning so it’s fast.
it’s called Panera :3
