Obamacare - they doubled the price of hash browns earlier this year, and my #2 meal went from four something to five something.

I have only had ONE McD’s burger in my life, and that was the last one I would ever put in my mouth. That was way back when they first opened. Ok, give them a try .........yuk.....I prefer to know what kind of meat I am eating.

Why would they carry an 89-cent cheeseburger? It doesn’t take much math skill to figure out that at $1 a McDouble is a better value.

McDonald’s is also moving to pre-packaged products that are microwaved.

Egg McMuffins now come to the store frozen. They go from the freezer to the microwave to the customer.

IMHO, McDonald’s problem for decades has been the quality of its food. Lowering its quality yet again is not going to pick up any customers.

On the other hand, Wendy’s is trying to improve the quality of their offerings in an effort to boost sales.

McDonald’s actually had pretty decent food in the ‘60s. But, McDonald’s destroyed its brand when it went with the “appeal to kids” advertising. They lowered the food standards and created an atmosphere that was uncomfortable for anyone over 12.

They never have been able to recapture the adult market, and I don’t think they ever will.

I have gone to McDonalds maybe half a dozen times over the last 2 years. The service has been awful, the play areas for my daughter have not been operational, the restaurants have been dirty and the food is bad. It is low on my list of fast food joints.

Naturally I don’t eat at McDonalds unless it can’t be help.

But that Grilled Onion Cheddar Burger looks and sounds tasty.

Anyone try one yet?

Those sound gross. The new Spicy McChicken is not too shabby however.

Since I lost my gall bladder, I cannot eat any fast food. Grease goes through me like water through a fire hose. I have a 12-minute window from eating corned beef hash to really, really needing to be in the bathroom. Makes me healthier, I guess.

Bring back the Beefsteak Sandwich!

It was test marketed in Milwaukee, and probably other places as well. Served with steak sauce on a french roll. When I’d make one for myself, I’d add grilled onions.

The McDonalds menu strategy is very schizophrenic. They have fantastic value meals for $1 but if you want to stray, a regular meal will set you back $4-$7. It’s like trying to serve the 47% and the 53% at a restaurant that is only considered by the 47% in the first place. They should either be a dollar store or not, but the dollar strategy preys on the regular menu. I would love to enjoy a filet-o-fish but the McDouble is too good to pass up value-wise.

Great - maybe my toddler will have another choice. He likes fried fish but doesn’t usually like to order the Filet-o-Fish sandwich over McNuggets.

Grilled Onion Cheddar Burger.....

a 69-cent hamburger and an 89-cent cheeseburger,”

I don’t get how they can charge only $1 for a burger with cheese and onion given that’s what they now charge for the old burger and w/cheese.

grilled onion cheddar burger. If you plan on returning to work that afternoon be sure to have a jug of mouthwash in the car.

Fish McBites? Uh, no thanks.
