great. two of the few items I can order at McDs. Only a few things were good enough to resist the Quarter Pounder.
Just stick to McBurgers and fries!
Who goes to McDodo for a Waldorf salad?
The Angus burgers are the only things I eat at McD’s.
I know what would revitalize McDonald’s bottom line. Take the advice of competitors and learn from it.
“My opinion is that the media is the main
supporter of healthy eating. We’re certainly
not hearing it from our customers”
— Andrew Puzder, CEO of Hardee’s and Carl’s Jr.
When McDonald’s tried to make it menu healthier, to please some radicals who publicly derided and despised their food, they made a cardinal error: Do not try to please critics, if it displeases your customers. Critics probably don’t buy what you are selling anyway.
Whataburger is a favorite hamburger chain in the Southland, and they are very proud that their menu is almost just like it was in the 1950s, at least as far as its hamburgers go.
Their hamburger is about the width of a saucer and you have to use two hands to eat it unless you use a knife and fork. It is big and is wrapped in paper. A Whataburger will feed a hungry adult.
The zinger is that McDonalds Big Mac used to be the same size as a Whataburger. Today it is barely larger than a slider.
So hey, McDonald’s! Why not make a “retro” Big Mac like you used to? Sure it might cost twice as much, but it would be worth it.
Yeah, it would upset the calorie chart used by the snoots, but they already hate your food, so why do what they want?
Go back to selling food and making big money.
Too bad. I’m not a salad person, but that fruit and walnut salad was pretty good.
Their prices have gone up too much.
$4 buck for a 1/4 pounder?
$2 just to add an egg to a sausage mcMuffin?
I’m not sure where they get their chickens but...
CHICKENS DON”T HAVE FINGERS!
McMichelles and McObamasses?
And emetics?
Yet another unintended consequence of the McSequester....
They should also drop the oatmeal from the breakfast menu. All those apples in it makes it way too acidic for early morning. Does anybody still eat that oatmeal?
If that was a money maker it would be on the menu. It’s just that simple. They went with a fad and the fad faded.
Wataburger or go home.
For those who remember it, Burger Chef used to be #2 behind McDonalds, with their beloved Big Shef hamburger. But they were bought out by General Foods, who didn’t know how to run restaurants, and eventually sold to Hardees, that only wanted the buildings, not the burgers.
In any event,
Burger Chef Big Shef and Sauce
Ingredients:
Dill relish (not sweet relish)
Dehydrated onions
Salad dressing (Miracle Whip will do)
Louisiana Hot Sauce (no substitutes)
Add the dehydrated onions to the dill relish. Let it
sit for a couple of hours for the onions to soak up the
juice from the relish. Then add that mix to the salad
dressing. Add a little hot sauce to bring out the flavor,
but not too much!
Insides of bun sections should be lightly sprayed with
coconut oil and toasted. Meat patties should be grilled.
Big Shef assembly (in order) - Bun heel, small slice of
American cheese, salted & peppered small meat patty,
bun center, second meat patty. Big Shef sauce, shredded
lettuce, Bun top.
The fish bites are good. They use real fish. And the price is right.
The only other thing we get there are the frappes.
I loved the Chicken Selects. It was one of my favorite things at McDonalds. Their chicken nuggets are ok but not near as good as the Chicken Selects. I used to eat the fruit and walnut salad and enjoyed it, but yogurt really upsets my stomach, so I have to stay away from that. I thought that was very good, though, and am surprised they are doing away with it.
Another chain that I like is Fatburger, which is more upscale. I just love their jukebox, with their eclectic disc collections. The one in Monterey Park included My Daddy Rocks Me by Trixie Smith, which some argue is the first rock and roll song.
and the Angus steak wrap with mushrooms.
Several stories about restaurants of various kinds, changing their menu, changing their decor, because of declining sales. DUH! When people don’t have money to eat out, they don’t eat out. Superficial changes won’t remedy that.
