I have never seen any Taco Bells in Montreal, but I did see one on Taschereau blvd. near the Champlain bridge. It is a half KFC and half Taco Bell outlet.

Since this thread started a few weeks ago I have been to Quiznos several times. They have lowered their prices since they started up in Quebec. The foot long Cheddar and Beef sub is quite good, it is only $5. The thing I seem to notice at the Quiznos franchises is that the owners do not seem to be too happy, I can only guess that the lunch time crowd is too fragmented for them to make a good profit. I can only say that it is a good alternative to burger places if you eat out often for lunch.
I don't like chain fast food, and will always choose a non-chain place as a result.
Chicken: Chalet BBQ in NDG, end of discussion. The Tamara of fast food chicken, in my opinion.
Ribs: Bar-B Barn
Subs: I guess the meatball sub from B&M in NDG is the best of that ilk, the steak subs at Momesso's (NDG again) are great.
Hamburgers: Momesso's & Dilallos.
Hotdogs: I like the ones at Costco

There is another thread in the massage section, Marie delivers her massages in the same manner as Chalet BBQ delivers chicken. ( but someone made a pizza anology instead of chicken )
BTW - I did not know the Dillalos was still around, years ago there were maybe 10 stores all over Montreal.

No, big natural breasts that taste great, and come fast.
Mexican/Tex Mex
Tex Mex and straight mex chains simply do not work in Qubec. Never have, never will. Chi Chis tried. Failed. Chili's tried. Failed. Taco Bell tried once...failed...and now there back. The one outlet they have is in a predominantly ethnic neighborhood. These used to be a chaion of 10-12 soft core food court mexicans called Los Rios/Los Dias...but are only two or three left. They offered a ''sanitized'' (milder) version of mexican fast food.
As for BBQ Chicken, the Best is still the Bar B Barn. Swiss Chalet is like purée, good for dull, unimaginitive Ontario taste buds. We prefer our BBQ with more bite. The same dull caracteristics can be said of all the Caseys, Kelseys, Montanas, Filthy McNastys, Pekins, Friendlys etc...Even higher ends like Milestones and the Keg are drab. Long live independants!

I don't disagree with the sentiment, indys are always better, SPs or restos, but BBQ with more bite? I'd hardly say anywhere in Montreal has real BBQ bite, in fact, no-where in Canada. You've got to head down to the Southern states for that kind of thing.
Distinction
A distinction has to be made. What is called BBQ in Canada is commonly called Grill in the southern USA. Until you have experienced southern USA BBQ, especially ribs and chicken you may think that some of the Canadian BBQ emporiums are special.

I beleive that in the USA the poultry meat (halves, quarters ect..) is pre-marinated before cooked. Heavier flavour, moister meat texture, flimsier skin. BBQ chicken in Quebec, is 90% of the time, never ''marinated'', but ''basted'' à la broche which gigves it a drier bite!
Apart from Benny BBQ ant the O'Coq's, our birds are ''air chilled versus water/ice chilled. (process to bring down a bird's temperature after kill and defeathering). The dried process leaves a bird...well drier...crispier when cooked in a rotisserie oven.

Fusion
Lived in Tennessee - Nashville, and Georgia - Atlanta for a total of 11 months and have travelled extensively in the SE since the early 1970's, especially the small towns.
Without getting into all the micro details, BBQ defines fusion cuisine. Blend of various styles, concepts and approaches without any hard and fast rules.
The dual offering emporium dates back to the old mom and pop outlets which combined the skills of the wife and husband, often in a humourous or illogical fashion. Certainly more interesting than the old indy gas station / restaurant combos that would advertise "Eat here, get gas".
