3 Fast Food Chains that must Take Over the UAE

The past thirteen years living in the US (Houston, Texas) have lead me to experience some the most American altars of food that, in my opinion, must come to the UAE as well as other places throughout the region.

1. Whataburger

Whataburger has grown to be an icon of Texas, with locations in every county of the State (some locations in other surrounding States such as New Mexico, Louisiana, and Oklahoma). Their Thick 'n Hearty burger has grown to be one of my favorites from the Whatashrine, and its arrival in the UAE maybe one of the greatest blessings that any country can recieve.

2. Chick-Fil-A

I take back my Whataburger praises. Chick-Fil-A is a fast food restaurant that stands out from other fast food chains by having a strong work ethic that is reflected within dishes such as their No. 2 Spicy Chicken Sandwich. It maybe a challenge for Chick-Fil-A to expand greatly (with their only international location in Toronto) not just for financial reasons, but their values are strongly embedded with their religious beliefs--being a Christian operated business. They still however have diversity with whom they serve, thus the possibily of a Chick-Fil-A in a Muslim country should be open.

3. MOD Pizza

MOD isn't technically a fast food restaurant, but it's reaching peak popularity further eastward of its founding location in Bellevue, WA. The restaurant is best thought of as the "Subway" of pizza where you can have any toppings and sauces you wish for your pizza, or you can resort to a selection of pizzas with each their own toppings; my favorite is the "Mad Dog" that happens to be a carnivore's dream, with nothing but pepperoni, sausage, and ground beef (not that I have the former two, as I stick to the ground beef). MOD currently has locations throughout Britain, and putting a MOD somewhere in the UAE or anywhere in the GCC will bring a boost in popularity and unity.
