McDonalds $1 Menu victim of food costs... NOOOOO!!!
Posts
It was sublime.
P.S. where's the love for the Filet-o-Fish best fish sandwich ever
El Pollo Loco is so good that I tend to forget it's fast food.
And going there is also a great excuse to practice saying "The pollo? He's fucking crazy." in your best Edward James Olmos rasp.
While, on the other hand Jack in the Box has some delicious stuff, like their spicy chicken or the sourdough jack.
McDonalds is good if you want to eat cheap. Just go for their chicken. McChicken or the chicken nuggets or their other chicken burgers are decent. They are also nice if you are in the mood for really salty fries.
Still, if you look around your area you can probably find better places then any major fast food chains pretty easily. Used to have a burger joint around here called the great grill which was amazing, but they closed up. There's also The Habit, they are good. Right by where I work so I often get to eat there for free too. There's a couple other good burger joints and diners like Rally's in the area.
Fucking restrauntistists.
The entire idea of McDonald's is to serve their food the same, regardless of where the actual buildings are. Some stores serve different food due to the difficulty of getting that food to that store, but essentially, they remain the same.
Saying that all McDonald's, perhaps even all fast food, aren't healthy/are disgusting/low-quality is comparable to the ignorance of racism!
If not, don't hate!
According to that goal if you could make everything on the menu 100% better you'd be fucking up even if it is good for your customers.
Don't assume you speak for everyone, because, well, you don't. McDonald's being the top money-making restaurant chain in the world just says one thing: you're wrong. It can't be all that bad if 27 million people eat there every day (In the US). That's almost 12% of the US eating there every day.

Fun fact: I helped campaign to get more non kosher McDonald's in Israel! I had one of the first meals on opening day of the first non Kosher McDonald's in the Holy Land.
except for their fries.
oh god it's like they sprinkle heroin on them instead of salt.
Taco John's Potato Oles.
Those things should be a controlled substance.
Everyone, including the managers, would steal Potato Oles every 30 minutes, because man you had to stand there next to the smell and oh man it's like heaven.
Seriously, they should put a bowl of them in front of someone they want to interrogate. Much more effiecent than any other form of torture.
It's insane how many Subway's there are in the area. There's more subways here than Wendy's, McDonalds, and Burger Kings combined. Not that I'm complaining.
That being said, Raising Cane's is the best chicken anything anywhere.

With the cheese sauce. The cheeeeeese saauuuce...
Indeed it is. Zaxby's is garbage by comparison.

Subway has a horrible underbelly in regards to franchise sales and maintenance.
TL;DR bad things subway does
It's mostly related to encroachment and then subsequent ball cutting of owners struggling with the new competition, but there's some serious issues with the corporation in terms of ruthlessness and cannibalization.
That said I like their subs. Don't go there to eat anymore though; McDonalds is my vice. Like smoking or drinking, eating a few burgers and some fries and a large ice tea is at least as damaging to my health but the endorphin rush is oh so good afterwards
I eat there extremely rarely. I'm not particularly afraid of them though.
this is possibly something that belongs in a new thread , but I recently had a long discussion with a friend of mine about all the horrible things we've seen done to food in our experiences in various restaurants (and that part about being "afriad of a fast food joint jogged my memory pretty vividly". Ranging from McDonalds to somewhat fancier place like P.F. changs.
The basic point we both took away from that conversation was, if you buy food from a place that prepares it where you can't see everything that happens from start to finish, there's a 100% chance you've eaten something you wouldn't want to at some point. It's just something you'll have to not think about, I know I try to. But I'll never eat at subway ever again.
that said, Long John Silvers is pretty tasty
Wow, if this type of "popular=good" argument came up in every other discussion, people would be citing McDonalds as a counter example.
People don't eat at McDonalds because it's good, people eat there because it's familiar. Someone needs to pull up the excerpt from Snow Crash.
I am the live proof of that :winky:
I worked at a delivery only pizza shop back in college. I was doing deliveries most of the time (90%) but occassionally jumped to the kitchen to do some magic. I had this little black notepad in my car's glovebox which had the names, addresses, order totals and tips written. Of course I worked my magic when I wasn't baking the pizza as well, usually happening somewhere between the shop and the final destination but oh all those wonders I created in the kitchen. Yeah, I was an asshole back in the day
This will be here until I receive an apology or Weedlordvegeta get any consequences for being a bully
You might want to try reading what I'm actually writing instead of what you assume I'm writing. I was talking about McDonalds' previously stated corporate mission and how that interacts with the judgment of the food quality of what they put out. So far I haven't really mentioned my personal opinion on my experiences with that chain. What I'm talking about basically applies to all fast food chains but only McDonalds has publicly stated the emphasis on consistency. I know the Hard Rock had a similar idea when it started to franchise.
Of course, I personally don't care for much of McD's menu but their fries are good if they're nice and fresh. They've become a staple of the tail end of local road trips. At 2:30 am if you order them they tend to have to make them fresh so they're piping hot and tasty.
That's just a conspiracy to poison drunk college kids. :P
Ha ha fatties. Eat a salad!
OPINIONS OF RANDOM TURDS = FACT
I forgot.. my apologies!
I'd assumed that they were just unloading whatever meat was closest to expiration or something, but it doesn't seem like that's the case.
And I'm a vegetarian, so I'd only eat at Subway, and even then only as a last resort because their bread sucks and they muscle out non-franchise sandwich shops.
Course, I eat at Au Bon Pain every now and then, and I'm sure they're just as bad despite having the more diverse menu and soup selection.

I don't like any of McDonald's burger fillings, so I always order a plain one without the gunk. It means my burger has actually just been cooked, as opposed to having sat on a hot plate for an hour.
