They already have that. It’s called “three large fries.” That’s pretty much all I can eat.

Switch back to frying them in beef tallow and I would be all over this, but otherwise, forget it.

I could have told them it would flop the first time I saw the “all day breakfast” menu. They only have about 6 items from the breakfast menu on the all day menu and most of the really good breakfast items are not on it. Kind of shot themselves in the foot.

That’s awesome. In a time, in a galaxy way far away, I would stick my face in the center, and eat my way out.

I want the bacon and egg bagel, but it’s not part of it.

Will they use real potatoes? When you make fries at home they get soft when they get cold. Why do fast food fries get so hard you could stab someone with them? Extruded potato product? Either way all you can eat wont work. They will attract tons of trouble or folks will fill up free and buy nothing.

Actually, the all-day breakfast is going well; it gave Mickey D’s the only increase in quarterly sales after two years of decline. Not sure the “bottomless fries” concept is going to work; I think Red Robin already offers limitless fries at their locations, but it’s a totally different model that McDonalds. Guessing McDonald’s will charge a bit more for the endless fries, betting that most people won’t eat more than two orders in a restaurant designed to get people in-and-out quickly.
