Burger King Vs McDonalds

[Melonthief]

My hands were tied, the operations are overseen by regional management. As the manager my concerns were dismissed offhand.
My primary functions wound up being to keep an eye on the till, and since the employees showed up when and if they felt like it, to fill in as needed on the grill or register. Ordering was done by regional management. I was basically a babysitter and policeman.
I didn't stay very long.

Five Guys burgers stink. You pay a restaurant price for the burger, and then you have to stand there and wait for it. Then they squish it on the grill and cook it till it's completely dry and well done. A waste of perfectly good beef. And the fries are soggy and greasy.

We have this chain called Smashburger where smashing the burger is their specialty. Never had one.

A tad off topic, but check this out..1 lb of pot roast and four 1 lb beef patties!

I've seen those. It's a wow-factor burger. I'm sure it would be delicious minus 3 of those patties. Those fries look good.

If you can eat the burger and the fries in a hour its free

Aww, who can't eat 5 pounds of beef in an hour? They throw in the ruptured stomach at no cost. Now when I was around 21 I may have given it a shot.

I don't care. If it's not In n Out it's not worth eating out.

That's what sh...wait no, i mean that's what I said.

 

[peledog]

In a perfect fast food world, BK with McFries.

Ever since McDonald's changed the Quarter Pounder a few years ago, my heart has belonged to Burger King ever since. I try to have it almost once a week.

I actually still haven't gotten over the shock since I practically grew up on McDonald's.

What bk did to their fries years ago is equivalent to what McDonald's did to the quarter pounder.

Years ago, I much prefered McDonald's on the occasions when I wanted fast food.

Then, slowly but surely, McD's made their premium sandwiches smaller, made them much more gross tasting, while gradually ratcheting up their prices.

In my opinion, McD's now has the lowest quality "food", along with the highest prices, of any major fast food chain.

The first Burger King opened in Miami in 1954.
My dad and I would go there sometimes. They were 18 cents.
The buns had sesame seeds on them, and my dad said they were bird seeds and if I ate the whole burger I could whistle like a bird, which he always demonstrated.

Since I was 5-7 at the time I couldn't finish the burger nor whistle.
THEN... one day I ate the whole thing, and guess what, I WHISTLED LIKE A BIRD !
Thanks for posting this; a nice memory.

Yeah, the QP was much better before McDeath started this whole nonsense about putting chunks of onion the size of Rhode Island in them. The smaller, diced onions (though they're dried and reconstituted) were just fine. Normally, I hate onion on any burger; it's all you taste on it.

I was actually referring to a change in beef to supposedly a higher quality.

Agreed, and I forgot to acknowledge that in my last. I still like an occasional QP w/C, but the beef does taste a bit odd, to phrase it as a oft-repeated line from the movie 'Fargo', "...in a general sort of way".

QPwC in the 80s until today have always had the fresh onions, at least in Texas. But I agree that a little onion goes a long way.

IMO, BK has both the better fries and the better burgers. McD does have the better breakfast sandwiches.
