You mean you worked there? How sad...
I had once crack my tooth with a piece of bone in their "big mac". Then I had a strong stomach infection from their food about 2 years ago. Now - no, thanks.

I think I am going to be sick :(

Hate to say it, but....
Doesnt russian McDonalds use Russian beef? Pretty sure they dont import beef to the overseas outlets...
(OK, I really kinda enjoyed saying it...)
-
Only thing i like at MD is their shake... great stuff.
Meat is good too, but there is not enough of it.
-
Havnt eaten there for at least 5 Years.

Good lord. They must have different "meat" and different shakes at McDonalds in Norway.

Thats because they use your local countries food for the chain. Do you think they'd import that all the way from here? Talk to your Department of Agriculture and ask them to bump up their standards.

Around here, about the only thing I'd say is good about McDonalds is the quickness & accuracy in fulfilling your order at the drive through, and their french fries.
If I want fast food and something that resembles actual beef, I go to Wendy's.

Jack in the box surprisingly makes a good shake.
Oh and DQ makes a burger with jalapeno bacon on it. I crap you not! Jalapeno flavor bacon! I wish I knew where I could get some in bulk.
-
and their french fries.
Their french fries have blown bellybutton ever since they switched from Beef Oil to Peanut Oil.
-
OK.
-
I read some report online that McD's bought a Million in Australian horse meat for USA consumption.
-
Rally's fries are the cat's a**. Their new Pepper Jack Buford isn't that shabby either.
Karaya
PS - McDonald's fries have been overrated since they switched to peanut oil.
-
in my student time, i worked part time in MC, thats over 17 years ago,
i still like MC but preffer BK ! :)
-
Karaya if Rally's is the same as Checkers out here, I agree. Aren't they owned by the same corporation?

I love McDonalds filet o fish! I could eat a bunch at one sitting...but usually have just one when I go, because I know its not good for me. Only trouble is an hour later Im hungry again. Its air food.
Boroda..it aint cool to dump on a guys source of income. What is it you do? Not that it matters..people lie online all the time about what they do..where they are from, etc.

No link and no slam. it was about a year ago, think I saw it on firing squad or some other gaming/general news site. There was a huge thread on it that got my attention.

The worst part of the Fillet O' Fish is the bun , breading, Tartar sauce, and fake cheese. I once ate 6 in a seating. Thats ALL I order when I choke at McDonalds (which is rare, like when the kids whine tone exceeds that of the wife)
Its better than most of that heart-attack crap at McDonalds.

Better? Not by much! ;)

Yeah, most of that comes from the bun, tartar sauce, cheese and breading.:eek: The saturated fats are artery hardners.

whers the what-a-burger from. it sounds real familiar but cant remember the place.
-
whataburger- South (Texas), Southeast (Fla). Probably more places but that is where I have seen them. Fuddruckers has all of the fast food places beat for Burgers IYAM.
I am not a McDonalds fan but I recently discovered Sausage McGriddles. Yep, they are calorie ridden junk food but OMG they are good!
-
We just recently had a Whata burger placed up here in Jax.
-
Fuddruckers is pretty good, and they've got a vat of nacho cheese in amongst their toppings. What more could a fat man want?
And Filet 'o' Fish?! Damn, I just vomited in my mouth a little. That is just nasty!
-
Oh, and as it hasn't been mentioned yet (which is a gross oversight)... In-n-Out Burger is goodness.

Sorry, was outrageously drunk when I posted that :(
I told here many times that I am an engineer in Academy of Science institute and in fact earn much less then people who work 8 hours a day 5 days a week in McD.
A joke about McDonalds, in fact a true story. McDonalds in Minsk, Belorussia, closed it's restrooms for "non-clients" (everyone knows that McD is the provider of the best free restrooms around), so, Belorussian punks "kidnapped" a dummy of that clown, Ronald McDonald, and wrote letters to McDonalds demanding them to open restrooms for public again. They included his cut-off finger or ear with every letter :D
McDonalds we have here is a branch of Canadian division IIRC, that's why we don't have all the dishes I saw in McD in the US. They also don't have clothes trees to hang your winter coats - a thing I really can't understand.
-
McDonalds used to be great.
I still occasionally eat there but
I remember when their burgers were grilled fresh and were about the size of their current 1/4 pounders. (ok maybe just a little smaller. but still alot larger then they are now
Now they aint much bigger then a white castle
And their chocolate shakes were every bit as good as you could get at any ice cream shop.
Now to me they taste like vanilla with brown coloring additive to make em look like chocolate.
the one thing they have always had and still have that is every bit as good as they ever were and still better then anywhere else is the fries

Its good to see our fellow Belorussians in the service of humanity. That clown had it coming for long time now.
On the otherhand keeping clean toilets is part of good hygiene. Letting a mob of vodka-wet russkies use mcdonals as their private water closet prolly isnt part of the restaurant's health plan. This must be where you are getting all those stomach infections from.

I've heard that they dont even have a freezer in the stores... everything is absolutely fresh.
That's why they haven't moved out from the West Coast yet.... they can't get their supplies lines to the poiint where they can maintain the freshness.
Absolutely the best burger in THE world.
-
There used to be a place in Cartaret here just off the turnpike that made a damn good burger. Dont think its around anymore though.
Locally I'd say the best around here is at Stewarts
Or the one I make myself at home on charcoal with a couple chunks of mequete thrown on.
Grill it. top it off with a genuine jersey beefsteak tomatoe from my own garden, some mayo and a bit of katsup.
Pure heaven

you haven't had pizza untill you have had larosa's in the cincinnati area and you haven't had a "chili dog" untill you have had a coney from skyline-also cincinnati area. But nation wide food chains i would go with either whiteys or McD's double chee, and taco bell PWNS!

What else can you offer for -30C weather?
I have two or three winter coats made of modern materians, the best one made in Seattle (!!!), and don't have any sheepskin coat (only something like a bomber jacket that leaves your arse to freeze).
Anyway - people in Winter have some place to leave or at least siply hang their clothes: eating in a winter coat is uncomfortable and stupid. So everyone sits on their clothes or hands it on the back of a chair, so the sleeves and flaps are on the floor, and even in McD they can't make a floor clean enough in Winter, on a perfectly clean floor the melted snow from your makes it really dirty and wet.

Macdonald's is just for filling a void.
White Castles rule over all of them

White Castle? Holy crap, I think I'll take the Filet 'o' Fish.

White Castle=Krystal=tiny greasy throwup burgers. However admittedly when I was in high school when they were onlyt $.25 each, I would eat like 15 in a sitting along with a bowl of chile. I think thats the reason I only made it to 5'8".

McDonalds in Japan is, well... different.
Since a good part of Japan is still living in the 1960s, McDonalds is definitely 1965. Some of you are too young to remember the little paper holder for french fries. That used to be the 'regular' size in Japan and it was still used until this year. Even a regular size drink was the little cup your dentist might hand you to rinse... not really, but pretty small.
All that changed this year when an American came over to run the operation. All the small stuff is gone and the push is on to fatten everyone up and stretch out their stomachs so they crave more and more food.
No Quarter Pounders yet, only cheeseburgers, hamburgers, Big Macs (not too popular) and Double Cheeseburgers plus some localized things like Teriyaki Burgers This summer, the push is on to sell large drinks, with the large container sitting near the registers. Everyone justs ignores it or thinks it's a decoration maybe. I asked a manager how many they sold a day and he said they hadn't sold one yet, since June.
Gotta love the Japanese efficiency though. Until a few years ago, if you asked for salt, you got a little package of salt... and pepper - mixed together. If you wanted catsup, you got a package of catsup... with mustard mixed in it. :)
When the tray is handed to you, it's a cultural rule that the company logo has to be facing the customer. No just throwing it onto a tray and shoving it at you. So, the tray has a paper placemat with the text facing the customer and the french fry container has the logo facing the customer. That means that the french fries are sticking out of the container away from you.
If Japan could harness all the rotational energy from millions of people every day turning around the french fry container, they might be able to power Tokyo. You'd think someone would have figured out by now that they could print the logo the other way.
There really isn't the stigma of a 'paper hat' job in Japan. There is a genuine respect for anyone doing any job and you don't get any clerks being surly or rude. On the contrary, everyone goes out of their way to be polite and helpful.
Burger King was in Japan for awhile, but they pulled out. There was a policy that nothing could be adapted or changed to suit Japanese tastes or customs. Everything had to be exactly as dictated from Burger King Command. Just because you're a big company doesn't mean you can't be stupid.
KFC has been in Japan as long as McDonalds. Walking into a KFC is like walking into 1965 America. Same greasy original recipe except the chicken parts look like midget chickens. $10 for 2 thighs, 2 wings and two drumsticks. The drumsticks are about the size of your thumb and no chicken breasts. And definitely no requests for white meat or anything special - the Earth will stop turning if you ask for anything special.
There are a few Wendys around, but everything is downsized and very expensive. And they've only just begun to offer breakfast. There is a false image here that Americans eat hotdogs and hamburgers for breakfast, so if you went to Wendys or Burger King at 9:30 in the morning, you'd see people eating cheesburgers and french fries.

being a manager, free food, anything i can make, and crazy concotion. heck i was making those tacos with beans and the soft shell wrapped around back in 1992, never saw anyone do it, just thought it up... and all sorts of melted stuff ;) :aok
favorite was the cheese steak melt. they only had it a limited time, was steak, with fried onions and peppers, jack and chedder cheese, and red sauce, all steam melted. was the only thing ever to out-sell the soft taco at our store. we sold out of the fixins in 1 week. was supposed to be a 2 month supply.
im still mad they stopped making that thing
-
Taco Bell blows. The food is OK, and the service and order accuracy is consistantly lousy. Literally, any Taco Bell you go to in Salem, and there are 5 of them, you will get the same lousy service. I've never been anywhere that's so consistantly screwed up my order. Thank god for Del Taco coming to town. Better food, constistantly good service and order accuracy, and open 24 hours a day, in case you need nappy cheese and jalepenos at 3 in the morning. :D
-
Guess you date yourself if you remember when Taco Bell used meat, beans, and cheese and little else.
RICE!
Everytime I see a taco/burrito/etc. with rice in it, I feel ripped off. It's cheap filler.
-
Hmm, Teriyaki burgers. That actually sounds really good.
-
Yeah, with a big thick slap of pineapple on it.
-
LOL SOB...Del Taco? Any "Mexican" restaraunt that sells "Crunchy Fish Tacoes" in the middle of the desert(AZ) is not alright by me. Not to mention their taco shells have the consistency of folded paper.
-
Rightfoot,
Rubios in Tucson started out as the main source of fish tacos. A not uncommon food near the coast of Mexico. They are ok but I prefer beef.
-
That reminds me, in the town where I used to live there is a burger place called Burger Haven. They make a special hamburger called What-A-Burger (If I can recall right, it says Home of the WhatAburger)
hmmm copyright?

Excellent post! Thanks for sharing this Rolex! That is quite interesting!
-
Agreed Rolex your post made me laugh several times.:lol
-
Oh yeah... fish tacos are GREAT!
Easy to make at home too...
Been using tilapia or basa filets. Heat a tablespoon of butter or margarine (Benecol for those of us watching cholesterol). Dump a big spoon of your favorite taco spice mix into the melted margarine and stir around. Put in the fish filets and let them cook on medium heat. Turn a few times to coat with the taco spice. If they don't look "red" enough, add spice as needed.
When they just begin to flake, pull 'em off. Slap them in a hard or soft taco shell, cheese, sauce, lettuce, tomato.... can't be beat.
-
Oh, and Rolex... if you need a "CARE package" of Mexican spices/sauces, shells, etc.... give a holler. Used to take this stuff to Okinawa for my buddies way back when. ;)
-
You Bastiges. Stop talking about Mexican food! I've got saliva dripping onto the keyboard.
And if you ever start another smoked ribs or roast thread, Toad, I'm going to fly to flyover country and slap you upside the head with a cold piece of sushi. :mad:
-
But, if you get that close to him, you could probably just talk him in to smoking up some meat for ya. Dummy! ;)
-
I'm pretty good at catching the flying shrimp out of the air and into my mouth that the chef tosses from the teppan table.
Hold that sushi by the very end so your finger doesn't get nipped. ;)
No need to suffer... we can send you the Mexican Makin's. Just let me know.

I live on the coast in Florida, we have many resturants that have terrific seafood, but one stands out.
Red Lobster
Why on earth anyone would go there is beyond me, but the thing stays packed. Only place in town you can buy a previously frozen peice of fish and pay preimum for it.
Just down the road,MMMMMM Louisana Lagnappie, I order their Grouper Ponchitrain(almond crusted pan Sauted Grouper topped/w Holindase sauce, topped again with a whole fried softshell crab, again topped with holndase sauce and walnuts in a sweet syrup glaze)......Great stuffs!!
So @ $20 a meal, its not cheap but better than Redlobster, or any other fast food joint.

No kidding. This was my exact reasoning for not ordering the taco at Del Taco in Phoenix. Unfortunately, later on in the trip, a buddy recommended that I should try the lobster when we were at Rain Forest Cafe. Apparently it is the best stuff at that restaraunt.
Being an idiot, I ordered a combo that came with steak and lobster. I guess the tropical rainforest atmosphere in the restaraunt made me forget that I was still in +90 degree AZ. I ate a few fries, then moved on to the lobster. The taste was slightly bearable and I commented that I wasn't really much of a seafood fan.
As dinner went on, I started sweating and the robotically operated monkey in the corner seemed to be taunting me personally. I quietly sipped on my drink and continued eating. Then I noticed the robotic parrot above my head, and tripped the F out at the absurdity of a bird in a restaurant.
At this point, I became dizzy and quietly excused myself to the bathroom. As soon as I walked in, I felt my stomach churn, so I rushed to the nearest stall. All in one motion, I proceeded to slam the door open placing my hands in front of my mouth at the same time, in an attempt to catch the 10 years worth of rainforest delicacy that ejected out of my throat. Bad idea. My hands served as a nice platform for the fluid to ricochet, sending everything right back into my face and shirt.
Right at that moment, the door slammed back into my side from the force of opening. Surprisingly, I managed to get the remaining volume into the toilet. All of this time, I saw a man's feet at the urinal. Not one word if I was okay.;) It's safe to say, I learned my lesson.:aok
-
All of this time, I saw a man's feet at the urinal. Not one word if I was okay :rofl
I had a similar experience at 6 Flags Over Texas. Before the nightmare was over I ended up blowing bellybutton in my girlfriends car:(
But that story is for another day.
As far as McDonalds goes, I havent been able go back ther after watching "Supersize Me". I miss the Big Mac. My favorite fast food stops now are Chick-Fil-A and Chiplote. For burgers The Denton County Independant Hamburger Co. makes a hell of a burger. For those of you who want to drive to Denton,Tx.

Rolex, my sister had something to add about Japan McDonalds, (and Germany)
actually visited a McDs when I was in Japan....it was a very enlightening experience. Similar to everything else in Japan - everything was spotless, there were slippers in the bathroom which you took off your shoes and put on when entering (brown - typical for areas considered 'dirty' ... and always VERY small for Japanese feet - they were like 'toe condoms' for my feet), the sizes are indeed small, and all was harmony and joy. Another very interesting McDs is in Germany - where they are pomme fritz (french fries) and you can get BEER. I always enjoyed some of the funny similarities and differences - from a typical American view. Thanks for sharing .... as it definitely brings back some sweet memories.
-
no BEER at US McDonalds??? c'mon you joking?
and "pommes de terre" in french stands for potatos and "frites" for "frying",
there you get pommes frites, ...the end spoken "fritz" ;)
-
@ Rip: Toe condoms... lol.
Fish Tacos? HA! How about a 'tako taco'? The ultimate Japanese goofy food taco.
Tako is Japanese for octopus. Yes sports fans, that's an octopus taco. yumm :)
Two other classics are Pizza Hut and Mr. Donuts in Japan. Ahhh, there's nothing better than going to Mr. Donuts early on Sunday morning. The aroma of fresh coffee and the smell of curry and tuna donuts are just the thing to start your day.
I wonder if Pizza Hut Japan will export their famous squid, octopus, corn and mayonaise pizza to the US?
