Whew!

I was in town and drove past a McDonalds and an overwhelming urge just about
took over the steering wheel!

I'd seen a $2.00 Big Mac commercial on TV the day before, I think and not
having one in years, I (I confess) was tempted.

I regained control of the car AND my senses and drove home, feeling almost
scared for myself.

Whew!

Out here there is a promotion 2 Big Mac for $3.00 - I used to LOVE the Big
Mac. Recently (past 7 years or so) I am unable to eat them as they repeat
like crazy. I think it's the Big Mac Special sauce that does not agree with
me. :-(

Double cheeseburgers are OK though. :-)

I have not visited MCD's for a long time now since their quality of
product hit the skids.

But as a replacement, I do stop at Culvers (like I did yesterday for
lunch) and get two single "butter burgers" with cheese, lettuce, tomato,
onion, pickle and mayo.

Pretty good fast food burgers for $4.85 (with taxes).

I pretty much stopped going to MCD's on a regular basis around the same
time as Burger Chef disappeared, and Wendy's started up. I also miss the
original Wendy's burgers (you know, the burgers that required multiple
napkins to eat?)

I settle for Culvers now for take-out, and occasionally Ruby Tuesday's
when I have time to sit and eat it in.

Bob,

Good post, except I still can't commit to having a burger with mayo on it.

I know it's become pretty common, just not on my planet!

Because heaven knows that having one burger of a style you haven't
had in years would be fatal.

Andy - I can't fault you on the mayo issue.

My preference for mayo on the burger came from when I was 8 yrs old,
using the local busing system to get to my cub scout meetings. I had an
hour lay-over down town, and the Big Boys restaurant downtown (1969) had
*excellent* burgers, and their default was mayo. I got hooked on the
default ;-)

I also spent ~ 5 years in Europe, and the default in Germany (FRG at the
time) was mayo on their fries. Personally, I loved the late night
Currywurst mit pom-frit from the local street vendor in Karlsruhe before
I got on the strasse-n-bahn back to the base rather late.

Life has been good to me, and I really should be more thankful for the
good things in life. I should show more appreciation to those that have
contributed to the good things I've had in my life.

And even though you don't wat mayo on your burger, I forgiver you :-)

There is more to life then just the incidentals.

Bob,

Funny again!

But hey, don't get me wrong, I had a big mac and fries WITH mayo (the
default condiment) in Holland FOR BREAKFAST and enjoyed it. Took me quite
by surprise. I worried about their scheduling all day afterwards!

Mayo'd French fries and morning coffee? <VBG>

Best,

Andy

oh yeah, pommes frites are wonderful with mayo or that mayo style salad
dressing commonly found. I also loved how simply street food is sold
there, without the excessive overwrapping and bags and trash we inflict
on the environment here in the US. The wurst stands on found on many a
strassenbahn corner often had quite a loyal following. I used to enjoy
one before shopping at my favorite hypermarkt Vertkauf, in Wuerzburg.
I never quite got into currywurst just because I had no desire for
ketchup on my wurst, although loved a plain bratwurst mit senf on a
brotchen.
I used to work with the Bavarian Red Cross and while blood donors would
be getting drained, some big guy would be outside grilling up the brats
to feed the donors afterwards. Beats a lousy OJ and cookie hands down!

You seriously made me laugh on two things.

I loved the currywurst, and I prior to that disliked ketchup based
sauces. The Germans made me think a little differently about food. The
next example that I had that made an impact, was the sliced hard boiled
egg on pizza. You probably know how well egg and tomato work together,
but but until I went to Germany, it never occurred to me it (hard boiled
egg slices) would work well on pizza.

The other LOL, was red cross thing. In the states, giving blood in the
military usually involved a half day off, a couple of cookies, a piece
of fruit, and a small bottle of wine (of course this was a few days
back). I would have settled for the Barvarian chocolates and a beer ;-)

Ya you betcha - double cheeseburgers off the dollar menu. I'll take 2 thank
you - and that'll be all.

Remember man does not live by caviar alone!

I haven't had a Big Mac since they were $2 for 2. And that'll be
the next time I have another one. That's my price point for a Big
Mac.

> Double cheeseburgers are OK though. :-)

Too much cheese to meat and the bread is too soft. I just can't get
over the texture of those things. Too mushy. Food needs to have
some bite to it.

It's the smell of those deep fried stuff as you drive by. <g> I drive by
one every day on my commute to and from work.

A LONG time ago, my daughter and I would go to such places on VERY
rare occasions. We first stopped going to Burger King when they
changed their fries. Dreadful. I like McD's breakfast McMuffins
and succumb once every two or three years. Otherwise, I get iced
coffee on the way to the Ren Faire, and that's it.

I thought you threw them in the garbage? And now your buying TWO of
them?? You really ARE an idiot. Wasting all the food is some sort of sick
hobby for you?

Yet you buy two of them??? Why don't you stick with the $500 dollar
gourmet burger's, Steve. Or is that too smart a decision for you.

I buy them just to give them to needy people. And even THEY throw
them away! Even THEY know they're made of cow shit.

> Yet you buy two of them???

We're talking about double cheeseburgers now, Jerry dearest. Please
pay attention. And no, I don't like them any more since the last
ones I bought about 20 months ago.

Last week, I wanted a cheeseburger really bad, but they do not have
Whataburger in Las Vegas. The last time I had a burger it was at an
airport Burger King and I could barely finish it. Whataburger has me
spoiled, but they are not a national chain. I was able to stay on my
diet one more day, thanks to that. lol

Speaking of eating out...

One thing I have promised myself when I get to my weight loss goal is a
night out at Outback restaurant.

The steak will be good, but most of all, I want a damned BAKED POTATO!!!
And some of their lovely hot bread with butter.

<sigh>

Dieting sucks.

They do have In-N-Out. We took a cab there and when I asked the driver
if he should come back, he said cabs were there all the time. He wasn't
kidding. We waited less than 5 minutes for a return trip.

Good burger, too. I also had my first Jack In The Box Burger in Las
Vegas. I was impressed. For fast burgers, you can't beat either one.

I'm sure Jack In The Box must be different in different cities. I have yet
to find one in the Phoenix where the food was fit to eat.

In-N-Out is the only fast food place we go to around here, except for the
occasional foray into Whataburger.

dk,

I've enjoyed many Gag In The Bang "ultimate cheeseburgers." By virtue of them
being more flavorful than in'n'out, I give them nods. Been ages since I ate
one.

Fat Burger edges them both out in flavorful greasy goodness.

The place was packed mid-day and just off the strip. I'm sure it was
mostly tourists but I can't imagine they would cook their food differently.

There's an aggressive Sonic Burger TV commercial campaign in Philly without
one in sight for 200 miles or more.

I'd just assume White Castle a few "sliders" cheeseburgers from the frozen
food aisle. Maybe even fresh somewhere over in New Jersey.

Or second, a few rippers (deep fried hot dogs) at Clifton, NJ's Rutt's Hut.

The Jack in the Box places here in Phoenix are busy, too, but that doesn't
mean the food is good.
