Fun Fact, in the lower 48 it's impossible to get more than 115 miles from a McDonalds!

Yep, anywhere! http://www.datapointed.net/2010/09/distance-to-nearest-mcdon...

That’s still an awful lot of miles to travel for that. If I remember correctly Subway has the most locations so probably you can get better food by driving less.

Debatable. See https://www.bbc.com/news/business-54370056

Though I have to confess to like their chicken teriyaki thing from time to time, customized to extra hot ;-)

Subway being better food than McDonald's is debatable (considering Subway bread is pure sugar and you can get a fresh chicken salad at McDonald's).

As someone who likes a good Italian sub now and then, I'm always a bit impressed just how bad Subway can make its food. I can at least find something I'm OK with at McDonald's (though I probably won't eat a burger). Not Subway.

Quiznos has gone far downhill too.

Firehouse Subs and Jimmy John's are amazing sandwiches but far less available.
