If you have to eat at McDonalds, what do you order?

Try their grilled chicken salads?

I usually ask for a Flame Grilled Whopper - just to confuse them!

Another great way to confuse them is to ask the illiterate high school drop out who is taking your order if getting two quarter pounders would equal one half pounder. I had a girl tell me she didn't know but would get the manager.

Move down south and you won't to eat McDonalds. You can go to Krystal or Whataburger.

I am behind you 100% about the double-double. I live across the country after growing up in SD. There are two places I go whenI visit friends...In-n-out and a taco stand that has the best damn carne asada burrito in the world. Flagpole Willy, it's as good today as it was 10 years ago, I assure you!

tugboat,

If/when I get myself back out to California I will more than likely lift my beef ban for a day and seek out a Double Double. Man those are awesome. Glad to hear that they still are - thanks for the info! In-N-Out does what McDonald's made famous but then abandoned - have a very limited menu and do that better than anyone.

Eat MCchicken DAMMIT! its $1 each,you can't go wrong.

I hope y'all don't really belive the stuff you hear without seeing about the Kenyans "simple" diet. I have seen quite a few high-caliber Kenyans (Eddy H can attest) show up with a to-go bag from McDonalds and drinking beer.

It doesn't matter. Whatever I order I end up pissing it out my ass.

Every time I go I get the 2 cheeseburger value meal. I love to go there after a really long run. Nothing tastes better...probably not the smartest thing, but the only thing that compares to McD's cheeseburgers is Jack in Box cheeseburgers.

no lie about the kenyas. last year i travelled with a bunch of them, and invariably they would either choose chinese buffet, mcdonalds, or pizza. i don't know that we ever ate anything else unless the race provided it. those guys can kill some fries. the only way i ever found to break them from it was to introduce them to real mexican food - good carne asada, black beans, and good tortillas.

i was at a race with one of them, and i offered to buy him dinner. he had won, so i told him we'd go wherever he wanted and i'd buy. the result: macdonald's - 2 big macs, 2 fries, and like 5 refills on the coke. of course i saw this same guy down 2 IHOP burgers and fries for breakfast once, so he may be a freak example.

My favorite is a large size #6 with cheese...

BTW

I just got through reading "Fast Food Nation"...very detailed book on fast food...it didn't stop me from McDonalds and company, but does make you think...

I always get the #10 (double cheeseburger) super-sized -- gotta get the extra fries! The McDonald's near where I work sells Powerade out of the fountain, so I drink that. Hey, at least I can say I'm trying to stay hydrated.

Do you folks not have Good Times. It might just be a Colorado thing. That is the place to eat for burgers. I heard all the in-n-out rage and when I lived in Cali I gave it a shot. Doesnt even compare to the mighty deluxe.

Something chicken with FF and a coke. I prefer Taco Bell as well. 7-layer burritos are all good.

I get whatever I can for about $2. I try not to spend more than that on what I know is crap. Once in a while, when they have the $0.29 hamburgers, I load up. I'm a big fan of Taco Bell bean burritos. I don't know about the 7 layer burrito, Miles. I like rice; but not in a burrito with beans and stuff.

I like to mix my food so it works.

buck mcchicken,2 apple pies for a buck and a free water.

If I just can't resist a good splurge I'll go to Jack in the Box or Taco Bell.

I can attest that Kenyans are big McDonalds and pizza addicts. One Kenyan who went to my alma mater went to pizza with us (his first time) and looked at the pizza like "what the hell is that? I'm not eating that!" He was seen in the pizza hut every day for the following 2 weeks. Another Kenyan who I studied with would regularly ask me to pick him up a Big Mac meal...I think I was in the damn drive thru 3 days a week (and at pizza at least 2 of the remaining 4, plus pizza slices at lunch often).

My personal drug is the Quarter Pounder meal (Royal Cheese in Europe) but hands down I have to say the best thing on the menu is a McFlurry.

Another sidenote: I used to live in Hungary and knew some Scottish guys there. They always enjoyed ordering the double cheeseburger because to pronounce it in the Hungarian language it was the "double shite-burger". Always good for a laugh...

Whoever posted about Good Times, that's no joke, I only went once, but it was really good. On a track trip we stopped at some McDonalds for dinner, well they had a deal on quarter pounders, so I had five of them, an apple pie, and a fries. P.R.ed in the mile 2 days later. Not too big on fast food, but went to McDonald's out here for the first time in a long time a couple weeks ago out here. Got a double quarter pounder w/cheese, asked for no onions. Well, they special made it all right, no onions, but when I get home I notice that the bun is "wet," completely saturated with grease. So greasy in fact, that the grease had breache the cardboard quarter pounder container, and soaked through the bag. Apparently they hadn't even squeezed the grease out of it. I salvaged what I could after squeezing it out several times and throwing out t he bun. Nasty!

Good Times...huh? That is a bold statement my friend, but you appear to be a bold man. If ever I am in CO I will indeed try this "mighty deluxe" sandwich of which you sing mighty praise. If it is inferior to the "double-double", well then, you'll have me to deal with son. Good Luck.
