The dollar McChicken is actually better than all the "premium" chicken sandwiches. Wendy's is better though.

When I was a kid, I'd always get the chicken sandwich and fries. I find it a bit spicy.

Lately, I've been craving McDonald's since the holidays. My meal of choice is the Quarter Pounder with Cheese and fries.

You bite into it, it's almost a sensation. A guilty pleasure of mine.
 
My car was getting an oil change and a McDonalds was next door. I stopped there after I was done and picked up a sausage, egg, and cheese McMuffin. It’s still the only item at McDonalds that I can tolerate.

I tried the McRib for the first time today.

What the fuck? That is what people sperg over every few months? Some sort of prison meat patty, drowned in barbecue sauce, on a soggy bun, with two pickle slices and a light dusting of onions for an attempt at flavor that just gets overpowered by the barbecue sauce anyway? What the hell, man. And for what I paid for it I could have had a QPC or crispy chicken or something I would have actually enjoyed poisoning myself with. My disappointment is immeasurable, and my day is ruined.

The biggest problem with the McRib for me was the sauce. I normally am not a big stickler for spicy food, but holy shit the McRib tasted like nothing.
 
I like the McChicken Legend/McChicken burgers with coke zero and fries.

They make decent flat whites as well.

Just tried the McRib. Was curious about what the fuss was all about. Wow, that was a mistake. They were nice enough to pack extra napkins, but the food was awful. One of the most flavorless cuts of meat I have ever had the misfortune of eating. I’ve tasted cardboard with more flavor than that disgusting, chemical tasting slop. The barbecue sauce tasted like floor cleaner and old ashtrays. The roll was soggy. The “meat” didn’t taste like anything at all. I am surprised it wasn’t cloned in a petri dish.

Let me give you guys a little tip. There is only one hard rule when making ribs. They have to be cooked bone-in. Boneless ribs are always garbage, because you miss all of the flavor that you get from the bones. The McRib is not even actual rib meat. It’s a restructured meat patty made from industrially processed pork shoulder. They may as well stick spam between the bread and call it rib meat. The bacon quarter pounder with cheese I had recently was ten times better. What’s the deal with the McRib? Why has it been mythologized as some kind of holy grail of periodic menu offerings?

If you’re in the Seattle area, try Pecos Pit, or Danny’s in Silverdale. That’s real barbecue, there.

It's all in the marketing. By making it a limited time thing you get people thinking they need to run out and buy one. By making it this special rare event they trick your brain into thinking a mediocre sandwich is something worthwhile.

Also they usually have huge sales when they start selling it which rapidly drop off, so they can't justify having it all the time. And there's another theory that it's related to pork prices so they sell it when it's more profitable.
 
I came to the realization earlier that I haven't had McDonalds for like around 8 months now

I also realized that I'll have times when I'll get McDonalds like once a week for a few months, and then just kinda forget it exists until after a while when I'll go and get something and then start up the cycle all over again
 
Wendy's sweet & sour sauce is the best, it's a shame they're always stingy with handing them out where I'm at.

Arby's has the best sauces.

Agree. Love their barbecue sauce and especially the Horsey Sauce. They need to bottle and sell that shit.

Spam would be an improvement.

I must be a hideous freak, because for some reason I love the McDonald's barbecue sauce the most out of the fast food lot. I assume it's a mix of its sugars and the fact that it tugs on childhood tastes.

I don't have very strong feelings but I can see an argument that it's a nice bland fast food bbq sauce instead of the ones who try but their reach exceeds their grasp
 
McDonald's has served Coca-Cola for it's entire operation, enough said. They could cut corners and give a lesser and more cheap product, but they do not. McDonald's will only serve the best of the best. Wendy's and Burger King served Pepsi, and Pepsi-Cola's garbage. Just look at Wendy's. You can tell by their Twitter posts and logo change that they were and will always be Pepsi affiliates in their hearts. This is why McDonald's will always be great, oh yes it also reps Chicago along with Disney.

Funny, I just got word that it’s being sent back to the vault until pork prices drop again.

Wht did you eat?

McDonalds is fine as long as you haven't turned it into one of your major food groups.

I'll get McDonalds if I'm travelling and just want something to eat that's a known enitity. Nothing sucks worse than grabbing dinner after a long day on the road and having it be awful.

I usually get the Quarter Pounder w Cheese.

Get a Big Mac with extra sus.

I occasionally will have one of their egg white mcmuffins for breakfast, but in general I'm trying to eat better, so I'm mostly avoiding the place.

Every once in a long while, though, I get a craving for a couple of McDonalds cheeseburgers though. Yes, they're garbage and there are WAY better burger options, but sometimes, it just hits me.

Never craved their fries though. Can't imagine why anyone would either. every time I have had their fries they are either overdone or under cooked. and always ALWAYS they have too much fucking salt on them

Maybe you should get apple slices.

I generally try to avoid the place. But still end up in a drive-thru now and then. It's garbo, but sometimes it's the only food on that particular off-ramp.

The mcdouble, sausage muffin, and fries are the only items I'm willing to eat there.

Boi, just use the app. $1 froes everyday yee yeet!
 
Are McD's fries still cooked in beef tallow over in Mexico? I know they switched to vegetable oil in most location since 1992, but over in Mexico there's a distinct beefy flavor to them that's different.
 
Is it just me or has McD's gotten hella expensive in the recent years? For most of my life it was the place specifically to eat when you were poor or broke, but now I go and see 4-piece McNuggets for like $2 or some shit, and a Quarter Pounder is like $6. When did this happen?
