    When big mac is made right, and the ingredients haven’t been sitting around all day, it’s pretty dang good. Even their basic hamburgers.

      Trusting that the underpaid and overworked employee is going to deliver a “pretty good” burger from a fast food joint isn’t a gamble many people are willing to make anymore. And I don’t blame those employees at all.

      Have you ever had a cheeseburger at a real restaurant in your life? This is a serious question.

        Depends where you are from. Food standards are higher in Europe, McDonalds can’t use cardboard for their burgers. Has to be actual beef.

        McDonalds isn’t as hated in the UK or Europe as it is in America.

          Where I’m from in NorthEast US

          • Taco Bell is absolute bottom, is not food
          • KFC is mostly chicken skin and fat
          • McDonalds is bottom tier that’s actual food

          I don’t go to any of them willingly.

          Minimum acceptable fast food

          • Chipotle
          • Five Guys
          • Panera

          Then again, on road trips, I generally stick with whatever swill paid to be in rest areas, so I don’t have to get off the highway
