McDonald’s CEO eats his own burger!

About a month ago, on the way back from Salinas, on a total whim, I stopped in Gilroy and had a Big Mac. I must truthfully say that I rather enjoyed it. I have no idea how many decades ago I last had one. Well that's not quite true; my son is now 35 and we would once in a great while go to Mickey D's for, um, I shouldn't call it dinner, but lets' say sustenance at that time if there was an evening school event going on. Safe to say over two decades. Do you think I will be turned away now at Heaven?:confused:
 
I once tested fast food burgers on the tabby cat I had in the 90s-2000s. She wouldn't touch MckyD's or carls, she showed a little interest in wendy's and BK but JIB was gobbled up. She normally got purina pate but a Zachery's pizza was sure to get her reaching for it. One night the girlfriend's nephew brought over a plater of sushi, she got under his feet and made him drop the sushi, she was in heaven.

I want to be your sushi cat. Why? Why not? Sushi FTW.
 
her given name was Sushi cus she was given to friend in a styrofoam box that had sushi written on the side. Later I learned about Cixi, the Empress Dowager of China, so her named got changed but remained the same.

Ya'all realize that the Big Mac Index is the measure of all world wide currencies purchasing power parity???

And my dirty little secret is that periodically, I get a Big Mac attack. But nothing to do with foreign exchange.

Mc Donald's used to serve fresh cut fries, yes fried in beef tallow. These were the best. Nowadays, of course, the American palate is so dumbed down by frozen products, that fresh fries and potato chips are denigrated by many. See post #11.

McDonalds stopped using fresh cut fries in 1967.
I had to look it up, I knew they were cut somewhere else back in 1977 when I worked there.

To me eating McDonalds is like smoking.
You can get away with it for a while but each slowly shortens your life.

And they both design their products to be addictive.
The Happy Meal works on young children to develop a craving much like Juul did with their flavored vape products.

Agree 100% on all fronts.
Would just like to add another thing fast food and smoking have in common...they both make your car smell like shit. :laughing

I showed the clip to my kids and the older one no longer wants to eat at McDonald’s. The younger one still loves it.
 
I was traveling to a race at Willow Springs with my two boys and we stopped at Mc D's across 5 from Harris Ranch. We ate in the car and it was the best damn Big Mac I ever had.. Amazingly so!

So damn good I went back in and got a second. I told the guy behind the counter that burger was amazing you guys make the best I have every had. He smiled and said their truck broke down and they had to buy beef from Harris Ranch. :wow

Moral of the story is if Mc'D's used good beef their product would be worth eating.

Five Guys has to be the worst for leaving a stink in the car. I gave up on it just for that.

I’m still a member of the Never had a Big Mac group.
 
I’ve eaten them before. They’re OK.

I think that the very best burger in the Bay Area is the cheese burger at Happy Hound on Los Gatos Blvd in Los Gatos. It’s just awesome. I always make it a double.

 
He definitely did not want to eat that burger, hilarious tiktoks. McD’s restrooms are my reason to enter that establishment while on the road. But many of the ones in CA make you buy something to use the restroom. So water qualifies. The only time I eat McDonalds is the fries when in the airport in Perú. The reason is that Peruvian potatoes are a special treat, even at McD’s. It’s like I never had a real potato before going to Perú. Dunno what those Irish did to ruin potatoes so badly. There are many peruvian varieties and potato dishes that are just not the same anywhere else.

I’ve gotten some good burgers at Kinder’s Meats. Kindof annoying when they cut them in half though. Don’t get why that’s a thing.
 
Looks good. Too bad they are not local to me. N
 
Won a softball game. On the ride back, wanted grub and as I pulled into the Taco Bell, damned if there wasn't three orange cones blocking the entrance. Damn!

Knew there as a McDonald's on the other side of the freeway. Ordered twenty nuggets, two double cheeseburgers-plain and a large Hi-C Orange.

Head down the road, chomp into one of the burgers and...PICKLES! MFer, FN, #@$&^#*(@!!!!

Just read the sticky note on the screen Mr. Twenty Dollars an hour grill meister!
