I have always loved good burgers but I have never been a fan of Maccie D's. Flame-grilled Burger King's are marginally better. My weakness in fast food is KFC original pieces on the bone,
I like McDonald’s fries, nuggets, and drinks more. I’m not really a big fan of beef, but if I wanted a hamburger I’d choose Burger King over McDonald’s. And I think McDonald’s has better deals and rewards
@NativePortlander1970 I look at their deals from time to time and it never seems as good, I guess. I can eat at McDonald’s for like $5ish, and I think it’d be $8+ at BK
@SW-User I know one thing. I lived in the country growing up and for 10 years after getting married. I would take long walks back in the 70’s on rural roads. When a car or pickup would drive by the fumes from the tailpipe would about knock me over at times if there was no wind. It was nasty to breathe that while breathing deeper due to walking fast. Had lead in gas back then, pretty sure it was really unhealthy. And I heard joggers saying the very same thing.
All down-value, up-price stuff sold on a spurious air of fashion merely by being American.
Costa - as false-Italian as calling plain coffee "Americano" - originated in London but is now American-owned, which did not make it any better. I call it "Costalotta".
I had a spell of using a MacD late in the evening when waiting for a train home after a weekly evening-class course. The shop, near the station, was the only refreshments outlet open late at night. On one and only occasion I also had what was called a "burger": merely a floury bread-roll holding a reconstituted meat-disc daubed with chutney to disguise both having no flavour.
Tried a Subway sandwich once. Reasonable quality, fair value; but when I asked why no salad-cream among the large selection of condiments, I was told they cannot stock it because the menus are dictated from New York! Ironically, the leading make of the salad-cream that has sold so well in the UK for so long is American (Heinz).
@Moneyonmymind The thing I used to like was Mexican fast food and several years ago started getting the burps after even a single taco so that ended it for me
