McDonald's HOT or NOT?

[dollar_bin]

I was disappointed with Chipotle the one time I tried it, but then again I'm fortunate that I live in an area where I can be extremely picky and snobby about what my tortilla gets wrapped around.

Give it another shot.
I plan to, but I'll probably wait until I'm out on the road somewhere away from my favorite taquerias and needing some beans and rice and meat. My main complaint is that the flavors didn't blend well, the rice didn't complement the meat or the beans and each component was sorta bland on its own. That and the steak was kinda dry, which is a bummer because the chunks were really huge.

One caveat of burrito critique is that I've had a bad burrito in almost every one of my favorite burrito joints. A burrito is a delicate ballet, and sometimes one ingredient sits in the steam tray a little too long, so unless I get something really horrible or gastroenteritis I'm usually willing to give a place a second chance.

Is Sonic really all that? I'm exposed to approximately 7 to 8 Sonic ads an hour during the NBA finals, but the closest Sonic to the Bay Area is in Tracy so I'm not likely to casually drop in and I never tried it when I lived in San Diego (that seemed to be more of a Ralley's town).

Gordo's here in the bay is my spiznot.

this makes me sad

Naw, Sonic's food is terrible, even speaking on a fast food level. Their drinks and shakes and whatnot get me over there though.

Regional burger wise, is there anything better in Texas than Whataburger? No city-specific chains like Dans/Frans or Jakes/Kellers, please.

West Coast cats: In N Out or Fattburger?

If it's in SF-only...IT DOESN'T COUNT.

That place is tasty, although a bit pricey. I think they're opening one down by the Ballpark so I'm pretty stoked 'cause that's near my work.

it's good, but I need like two of those burgers in order to feel really sated. and at that point I'm looking at like $15 with a drink. NAGL.

And of course no one ever intends to go to McDonald's sometimes you just end up there on a bad night. Their breaksfast *is* actually better than most fast food jernts though. But then the breakfast taco is more the status quo for Austin breakfast runs.

well, if its any consolation, fatburger burgers are more and are not niman ranch beefchuck like burger joint.

You wanna talk about grossest shit evar?

HARDEEZ, CARL'S JR., KFC (EWWWW!), TACO SMELL.

Rather fuck wit': ARBY'S HORSEY SAUCE ALL DAY, EVERY DAY.

Seriously, though... I stay away from Mickey D's as much as possible.

Occasionally I will indulge in a Vanilla Milk Shake with Fries.

this makes me sad
is it that he used the word spiznot, or do you have gordos hate?

For dippin? I know people who dip their fries in Wendy's Frostys.

 

[keithvanhorn]

if they allowed franchises i would open one in philly. in n out kills all other fast food restaurants, its not even close. wendy's is the best burger related place we got on the east coast and its average at best (in comparison to in n out).

 

[kicks79]

Macdonalds is wack. I havn't eaten there in almost ten years. There are so many reasons no to support this fucked company in any way.

 

[yuichi]

I went to Sonic's one time and maybe it was beacause I was hungry but that shit was pretty damn good. Pretty much like In N' Out.

Gordo's Burrito on College in Berkeley is CRAP. One of the worst burritos I've ever had. It's like a low quality Chipotle.

 

[ariel_calmer]

My local spot is more authentic, but I dig the yuppie burrito action at Chipotle. If you are a meat eater, get the carnitas. Plus their burritos are BIG. My wife & I split one when we go, & get some chips on the side. I have no idea how I do it but I can polish off one myself pretty easily if she's not there. Saving me from myself again.

....so no one is feelin' me on the Coke....it's the extra syrup and fizzle that makes it...

perfect with rum in it

It really depends on the location I think.

Yo, I forgot to big up WENDY'S.

 

[Descry]

i used to be a Meekeedeez addict, but i did an O.D. so i had to stop...
BUT i found some other place we cant find in Europe :

I've been introduced to it in 1999. Cant go in US without whitecastling my stomach. And these damn onion rings...Your azz always remember when you eat them.

gross. white castle tastes like salty cardboard.

Occasionally I will indulge in a Vanilla Milk Shake with Fries.
