Add to the mix the hungry family that’s waiting for you when you walk in the door, and one thing becomes clear: you’ve got to get dinner on the table, and you’ve got to get it fast. 

More often than not, that means a quick trip through the closest drive-thru could be your saving grace. But which drive-thru is actually the fastest at getting you your food?
