Tick Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 just a point on McDonalds fries. They are still ok, but they used to be awesome when they fried them in animal fat!!!! Now they went to vegetable oil a few years back and they just don't have nearly the same flavor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Godeater2112 Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 (edited) I picked McDicks by a close margin to the BK fries. Wendy's fries are just *putrid* and Arby's food in general is so putrid that I haven't been there in so long I can't even *remember* what their fries taste like. I love the Simpsons episode, the play on Lord of the Flies where all the kids are stranded on an island and one of them says "I'm so hungry I could eat at ARBY's!"

nobodys hero Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 McD's used to be but we have Jack in the Box here and their fries are fresh cut like In-N-Out. I haven't eaten McD's in a while as my daughter watched Super Size Me at school, and won't let any of us eat there Hate to tell you all but McD's fries aren't even made from potatoes just a whole bunch of artificial crap-this comes directly from a former manager. My daughter knows someone who works at Arbys as he told her that they receive blocks of frozen meat that is all parts of a cow and it all mushed together and then they put it on a slicer and shave it off. btw I make awesome home-made fries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are approximately 16,000 McDonalds locations outside of the United States. Burger King has 5,000. I don't care for fast food in general, but every once in a while I'll get hit with this craving and have something from there. I tend to think their stuff is cardboard-like lumps of crap, too.

Have you tried a good old British battered cod and chips? Eating them at the seaside or in front of a good film is awesome! I generally concur with this. Nothing quite like staggering into a Maccy D after chucking out time from the local boozer, and smelling that familiar Maccy D odour - deathburger & fries (especially the fries) go down a treat. Unfortunately the same can't be said for BK where they tend to nuke their burgers & cremate the fries into burnt offerings more suited to carbon dating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fordgalaxy Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Ever since Burger King introduced their new fries years ago I much prefer those over any of the usual fast food joints. McDonalds are okay but a little too thin for my taste and the vegetable oil, oy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a "Designer Burger" joint out here in Walnut Creek called "The Counter." It's excellent. They have sweet potato fries. I hated them, buy Wendy loved them.
