Pizza vs. Burgers: 4 trades in fast food

Investors should hold on to shares of certain big-name restaurants despite lofty prices, some "Fast Money" traders argued Thursday.

Domino's Pizza shares spiked 13 percent on the day after strong earnings, and the stock has now climbed 19 percent this year. McDonald's stock, meanwhile, has climbed 20 percent in the last year.

"I think you have got to stay with it," trader Guy Adami said of Domino's. He also urges investors to stick with McDonald's shares.

Trader Tim Seymour agreed about McDonald's, saying its valuation looks more appealing than Domino's. Seymour's firm, Triogem Asset Management, owns McDonald's shares.

Adami believes shares of another burger chain, Jack in the Box, could tick higher after weakness. The stock has shed about 30 percent of its value in the last year.
