Subway Voted Among 'Gross of the Grossest'

By Charlene Arsenault

This week, Buzzfeed released its list of 39 fast food restaurants it ranked from grossest to least gross,with "No. 1" being "least gross." Does that make it the best? We're not sure. 

Their winner? Chipotle Grill, which it says is "ALMOST not fast food — like a human among neanderthals, it operates on a pretty high level of junk-foody goodness. So why does it even make the gross list? Buzzfeed says it's because of "what it does to you when you eat it." 

North Reading does not have a Chipotle Mexican Grill, but there are several places in town that made the list including, Subway, ranked number 36; Dairy Queen, ranked number 31; Dunkin' Donuts, ranked number 23; Wendy's, ranked number 19; McDonalds, ranked number 17; and Starbucks, ranked number nine.

Checkers ranked as the "grossest." Other restaurants that made the list included Subway, Quiznos, Panda Express, KFC, Taco Bell, Burger King, Arby's, Moe's and Five Guys (also ranking close to being "least grossest.")
