What is the big difference between Burger King and McDonalds that can lead so many people to hate one and love the other?

 

It's because there are 2 people in the world: McDonald's people and Burger King people, if you don't know which group you belong too, you're just confused.

Anyone Remember Red Barn Restaurants?

 

Wow..talk about a blast from the past! We had one right here in Jamestown, but I don't really remember the food...only the red barn. It's actually still there, but it is now a tanning and nail salon, I believe.

^^^There's also In-N-Out people for those that live in CA. I know a LOT of people that love In-N-Out but avoid McD's and BK. I also know a few people that don't like In-N-Out but like McD's and/or BK (like my Grandma). I also know Taco Bell people and Jack In The Box people (to a lesser extent) as these two chains are open the latest in my area.

-Ted's Place

-Taco Bell (dine-in only, one category lower when taken home)

-Five Guys Burgers and Fries

-Jack-In-The-Box

I don't go often but the ones I have been to in descending order are:

 

Shakeaway

Pizza Hut

Frankie & Benny’s

Subway

McDonalds

Domino’s Pizza

Gregg’s

Krispy Kreme

Starbucks

YO! Sushi

KFC

Burger King

Little Chef

 

I haven't heard of most of the USA ones, also looking at the Wikipedia list, I haven't heard of most of the UK ones either!

 

Also about a year ago my Dad brought me back the infamous Stonner Kebab from Glasgow (sausage, wrapped in donner kebab meat and deep fried!) Just 1,000 calories. I got about halfway through...

Stonner Kebab (Sausage wrapped in donner meat and deep fried... YUM!)

The only fast food restaurant I really go to is Subway.

 

The rest are just nasty to me....so unhealthy and really low quality food. I'll really only hit up Subway if I'm on the road and I need a quick bite to eat. I am a victim of Dunkin' Donuts when I want coffee though. Their iced coffee is really good.

We don't really eat out that much, at any restaurant. But the places I like are (in no particular order):

Arby's (don't hate)

Popeyes

Dominoes

KFC

Quiznos

McDonald's (only for breakfast)

 

I will absolutely never eat at Subway, Wendy's, Long John Silver's (I don't like seafood).

McDonald's (only for breakfast).

 

Here here. Whenever I'm driving to the park I'm visiting for the summer, I always make it a point to go through a McDonalds for a couple of sausage and egg biscuits and some hash browns. Never really been a fan of their non-breakfast items, apart from the fries.

Yeah, I don't go for hotel breakfasts. It's a good thing the one I'm staying at in Bloomsburg has a Cracker Barrel nearby. That's where I had my Birthday breakfast last year.

 

 

I wish that the hotel breakfasts were like the one's in Europe...you're right that most US hotel breakfasts are pretty disgusting these days. Hampton Inn's aren't too bad, but if we stay at a cheaper hotel chain, we usually avoid them and go to a Bob Evans, Cracker Barrel or a local diner if there is one nearby.

 

PS - I do about five visits to fast food chains a year (other than Subway)...this is usually when we are on road trips and it is normally a McDonalds or Wendys.

In Europe it's even more important to steer clear of mediocre hotel breakfasts. You're going to need that stomach space later for good food. If I'm in Italy, for example, I'll just grab a cappuccino and a pastry at a local cafe. Then I'll have a giant lunch.

 

One exception to this is that some of the family-run B&Bs in Europe actually do great breakfasts. One place in Bruges served probably the finest breakfast I've ever had.

^ We must have lucked out the hotels we stayed at in Italy and Germany as they were all what I would consider excellent compared with some of the crap you get at American continental breakfasts these days.

 

The variety of fruits, cheeses, meats, veggies, breads & pastries were phenomenal compared to lukewarm eggs out of a carton, greasy ass bacon (most have figured out how to screw up bacon even though I didn't think it was humanly possible), lame cereal you wouldn't eat otherwise, bad, bad coffee and maybe two styles of juice (apple and orange). If we are in a hurry and eat an American hotel breaksfast, I play it safe & stick with a piece of toast or bagel w/cream cheese, a pre-packaged yogurt and some juice (or water).

^But excellent compared to all the other food options that await you in Italy? Probably not. That's why I don't bother to even look at what the hotel offers when I'm in that country. Instead, I'm obsessively planning out all my lunches and dinners with carefully selected spots. But I guess I'm weird that way because I spend insane amounts of time picking out places to eat when I plan trips.
