I do. I love it.

I get their oatmeal, I like it. Their coffee isn't too bad either.

.

Used to occasionally breakfast there - Egg McMuffin, coffee and OJ. Has become rarer as my wife now makes a better McMuffin than McDs.

The Big Mac Wrap is the only fast-food sandwich on the market that I like. Wouldn't consider anything else on the menu, though.

Hawk, You're not a fan of the Culvers Double Butter Burger w/cheese?

I don't understand why people would stop at McDonald's to get oatmeal when you can mail oatmeal at your home in the same amount of time it takes you to stop at McDonald's.

You put the oatmeal in the bowl, add brown sugar, raisins (really whatever you want), milk or water (whatever you prefer) and put it in the microwave for 3-4 minutes per 1-2 servings. Why stop at McDonald's and buy it?

Either way, only as a last resort would McDonald's be stopped at.

MCDONALDS ADDICT HERE. the deadly triangle of salty-sweet-fatty has me firmly hooked.

the fries are much worse than before. the mcchicken is horrid in taste. the dr.pepper or tea is perfectly bland.

matters not. i am an addict. i can't kick the stuff. every lunch time i tell myself i am not gonna go there. more often than not, i go there.

i doesn't help that i can't lunch in the office (business happens thru lunch) and my locale is desert for real food.

Their burgers aren't particularly interesting, but they'll do. I like the Egg McMuffin and hashbrowns.

Never had it, but it sounds like too much bread to me. That's why I like the wrap.
By the by, Subway used to offer a great wrap alternative for their bread, but they dropped it and went to a soft tortilla that just doesn't cut it. Haven't eaten there since.

I like the Egg McMuffin and hashbrowns.

Me too. But I'm a 2-ply kinda guy.

McDonalds is very smart. they finally realized southerners drink sweet tea and eat biscuits with fatty stuff jammed in them, so they put all that on the menu.

And even though every time i eat a bacon egg and cheese bagel, i can feel my arteries closing a little, i do it anyway, because life is about more than clear arteries.

Standard bun, top and bottom. The patties are bigger in diameter. The fries are also the best I've had.

In all things, moderation is the key to life.
If you consume too much water, it will harm you. But there is a level of arsenic that can be taken safely.
You just have to know the proper levels.

99% of the time I will choose something that is fresh and high quality, but when you don't want to spend more than a couple bucks and it's 3am, there aren't many other options.

when i was a kid (which was only a few years ago) mcdonald's was the place i wanted to go. something about eating there always made me happy.

now whenever i go in i think of john wayne gacy or that stephen king movie (i forget its title).

my, how fast perceptions change in life...

The best burgers are never made by chains, also.

I miss the old days when Burger King and McDonald's were always next to one another. In those days, I ordered by burger from the King and went to McDonald's for fries and a coke.

Here in our "downtown", the McDonalds is directly across the street from a 5 Guys. I don't know how they even stay in business.....5 Guys is the bomb!

I still like Long John Silvers and Arthur Treachers. The smell reminds me of an old girlfiend.

Might have to try one some time, but frankly, even standard buns annoy me; too much bread. Culvers fries are the best on the market, ever since A&W dropped their curly fries, that is.

"when i was a kid (which was only a few years ago) mcdonald's was the place i wanted to go."

LMAO... A few years ago...

When I was a kid, I remember their menu didn't inlcude the Big Mac. Burger, cheeseburger, filet o fish and fries were it.

Anyone remember the words to the Menu Song? I got the first verse still memorized, but forget everything after "and a Happy Meal."

McDonalds is the best although I dont eat there that much. I do stop in for the nuggets and an occasional Big Mac.

but when you don't want to spend more than a couple bucks and it's 3am, there aren't many other options.

And when I was a kid, we had a local outfit competing with them called "Tucker's Toofers" and their hamburgers were two for a quarter.

I'd like a Big Mac,
Mc BLT,
A Quarter-Pounder with some cheese,
Filet-O-Fish,
A Hamburger,
A Cheeseburger,
A Happy Meal.

McNuggets,
Tasty Golden French Fries,
Regular or Larger Size,
And Salads: Chef or Garden,
Or a Chicken Salad Oriental.

Big Big Breakfast,
Egg McMuffin,
Hot Hot Cakes,
and Sausage.

Maybe Biscuits,
Bacon, Egg and Cheese,
A Sausage,
Danish,
Hash Browns too.

And for Desert
Hot Apple Pies,
And Sundays
three varieties,
A Soft Server Cone,
3 kinds of shakes,
And Chocolatey Chip Cookies.

And to drink a Coca-Cola,
Diet Coke, and Orange Drink,
A Sprite and Coffee, Decaf too,
A lowfat milk, also an Orange Juice.

I love McDonalds Good Time Great Taste,
and I get this all at one place...
The Good time,
great taste,
Of Mc Donalds.

But I prefer ABBA.

Hardee's is #1 for fast food be it breakfast or lunch beats Mickey D's and BK hands down.

When I was younger and still into the late nites with

an orange juice and a two hash browns. My best 'hang-over' breakfast.

You really wonder that? It costs $14 to feed two at Five Guys... that's sharing fries, by the way, and it costs 46 to do the same at McDonald's. five Guys is a treat, something we do at special times. McDonald's is what we do when we're in town and suddenly hungry. It's not the best food but the atmosphere is upbeat, and since the nearest stove we can use is 60 miles away, Mickey's is gonna win out.

For someone like me, the dollar menu at McD's rocks. Three double cheeseburgers (no cheese) two dollar fries and a order of apple pies. Out of their for under $7.00. Pick up an avacado for a buck and it is still way cheaper than the other FF's.

Coming to a McDonald's near you.

Who else is now having an unplanned Mickey D's lunch today?

I ate here last week.

I used to eat there, then I got married to a healthy woman. Also I was in the military at the time so the fat didn't stick to me as much as today.

"Do You Admit Eating at McDonald's?"

It's road trip food mostly.

Although, I know a lot of people who have heard of it and just sort of laughed and said that they didn't want to watch it becuase it would likely turn them off of meat, when I recommended it to them. That said, I still eat what I'm sure are GM chickens and all of that. There's not too much in the way of alternatives, like farmers markets, where I live.

Most of you do not remember when their fries were really great. They were made fresh on location from big Idaho potatoes. One of their secrets for great fries, which I have passed on to my spouse, is to do is rinse then twice after slicing before frying. Yes, back then many people would drop by just for a Coke and fries.

One of their secrets for great fries, which I have passed on to my spouse, is to do is rinse then twice after slicing before frying.

They had to change after getting sued I believe. If I remember correctly, McDonald's used to use beef broth in their fry oil. It gave them that unique taste. Vegetarians sued because most ate fries thinking they were meat-free.

They used to have a deep fried Cherry Pie. I'm sure some flat stomach fuck bitched about those too.

Many eat but based first upon price, then taste and not at all about nutrition or health and that is the reason Americans are overweight.

I rarely eat there. I like the taste of some of their stuff for an occasional meal, but I put health first. Everything I've seen and read indicates it is more about convenience than quality or health. If that fits your priority then go for it. Someday - healthy will become trendy and then many convenience food outlets will change their ways.

"Perhaps you've never eaten at Five Guys? It is the gourmet burger.
#87 | Posted by soheifox"

Even though my post went right past you, I'll humor you with an answer. Yes, I've eaten at Five Guys. They have them in my hood, and I don't even have to spend $35 in gas to get there. I've also been to one in Kalispell, Montana. It's a burger and fry joint. Sure, it's a step up from CoCo's Golden Arches, but it ain't special.

I try not to admit it but i do.

I don't eat there much since the only item I really liked, the Filet-O-Fish, was "improved" by incorporating a defoaming agent. dimethylpolysiloxane, into the batter; the defoamer keeps the oil in the fryer from bubbling up so much. The defoaming agent makes some people ill, and I happen to be especially sensitive to it. I thought I would puke up my toenails after eating two Filet-O-Fish soon after the change.

The mushroom and Swiss Angus burger isn't totally disgusting on those occasions I do end up going with someone who insists on the place. But God spare me the coffee drinks - overpriced for what they are, which seems to be a whole lotta Cool-Whip. Surprising, because the regular coffee there is great.

McDonald's serves one purpose: It is a primary source of Vitamin G when hungover. Bacon, egg and cheese biscuit with hashbrowns and a large orange juice cures most hangovers. (Vitamin G = grease.)

Other that an rare late night when McDonalds is the closest thing to the house & on the way home, I haven't eaten regularly at one in years.
Mcdonalds probably has my favorite french fries when they are fresh.
Other than that...they have the worst tasting fake cheese I have ever eaten, the freeze dried onions suck, the pickles are terrible, the meat tastes nasty & frequently has bone fragments in it.

The company imports meat supposedly because the US doesn't supply enough beef for them....BS, they import meat because it is cheeper to get beef from third world countries with far less stringent quality control. They didn't seem to think there was anything wrong serving fries to vegetarians after cooking them in animal fat. The quality of thier food has dropped drastically over the last few decades.

If there ever was a company that deserved to go bankrupt, it is Mcdonalds. I doubt that will ever happen though, as so many people are happy to hit the name they know to stuff some food in the face without really thinking about what it tastes like. Did it for years myself. Hey put enough catsup on that burger & no one will notice the funky taste.

I'm guessing you're not old enough to remember Jack in the Crack killing all those customers in the early 90s. I've never eaten there since.

"Jack in the Box's success came to a halt in the 1990s because of two main factors: the national recession of 1990-91 (the company suffered an 81 percent decline in net earnings in 1991) and more importantly, the E. coli incident of 1993, in which four children died and hundreds of others became sick in the Seattle area, California, Texas, Idaho and Nevada after eating undercooked and contaminated meat from Jack in the Box. It was the largest and deadliest E. coli outbreak in American history up to that time."

Wow. You people sure are a bunch of wasteful fucks. I ca';t believe I'm quoting Ray here, but if a $14 meal to eat out isn't a rare occasion, then the reason you're poor is because you make incredibly poor decisions with your money. You think it makes you sophisticated but it actually makes you stupid.

.BS, they import meat because it is cheeper to get beef from third world countries with far less stringent quality control.

Not correct. They import beef because the US does not produce enough lean beef of the type required to make their burgers taste the same in every location. Most beef producers in the US aim upmarket, to produce steakmeat. Any rancher would be happy to explain the difference to you, or you could just hit Snopes, I'm sure they clear this lie up.

Oh and Australia is not a "third world county".

#123 who said anything about being poor? And why is it wasteful to spend money on food and drink when in good company? It's not as if I'm ordering stuff, eating a few bites and tossing the rest.

Many, but not all, expensive places are pretentious and overpriced, like you're paying for the "atmosphere" or some bull shit.

But sometimes it can be very worth it to spend 100 bucks on a meal for two. This place, near me, is great, and isn't pretentious at all (jeans, decorated with white xmas lights). But the food is worth every dollar even though it's high priced.

Bella,

That looks like a meal someone eats just because you have to eat. I would totally NOT enjoy eating that.

You may as well cut the grass and raid the grass catcher.

For me, eating is an experience. I would hate to be that person who eats like eating is getting in the way of life. I bet there are some people who would love it to just take a pill everyday for nutrition and not have to eat at all...

Sad Fucks...

You can stop right there, dummy. I'm not poor.

For me, eating is an experience.

This is exactly how the wife and I see it. Just as LoD said, $100-$150 for two (every once in a great while, not often LOL) is totally worth it.

We were recently in Charleston, SC for vacation and had several dinners in the $100 range. Damn there was some good food.

Where did you go?

The bride and I went to FIG last time, and loved it, but we're headed back in a few months, and always open for suggestions. She's heard great things about Husk...was that one of the places?

FIG was recommended to us and we thought about it since it was close to our hotel. Unfortunately we opted out though as the menu is seafood heavy and my wife is highly allergic to shell fish.

Husk was one of the places we went to. If you're planning on trying it make reservations well in advance as we only got in by being lucky and going on a weeknight. They were booked solid for the next three nights afterwards. Also, keep in mind the menu changes daily but they post the previous day's menu on their website.

We also went to High Cotton which was also very good, particularly for the price. I highly recommend it.

JPW,

Many thanks. Sorry you had to miss FIG, but thanks for the heads up on Husk. The bride isn't familiar with High Cotton, but she will be by night's end!

JPW and Dan,

I always look for a Steak Chop House. Yes it's pricey, but I always get better service than any steakhouse (logans, Roadhouse, etc). I love Chophouses. I also love Miyabi's....

You like to do Steak Chop House for something special, Sohefox likes to do five guys. That's what's great about this country - to each his own.
