Breakfast at McDonalds

[Maarten]

Stop going to McDonalds man. That stuff is ****. Literally

I wouldn't give McD more than one *

 

[dataz722]

That's exactly why I don't want attention called to the fact that I'm in there a couple times a week.

I do appreciate McDonalds as a monument to Capitalism. Take a food product. Remove any taste, flavor, or texture that could possibly be offensive to anyone. Make it cheap and convenient and fortunes are made.

Big Macs, Budweiser, and Wonder Bread. You've got to give them credit. They know how to appeal to the masses.

If you have mcdonalds so damn much then why even go? And if you don't want attention brought to the fact that you go then why would you start a damn thread about how much you go?

I make my own egg-a-muffin sammich every day at work with sausage or bacon or ham, english muffin, egg, and cheese so I know what good 'McMuffin' tastes like and MDs McMuffins are fine. And those hashbrowns (and their fries) are just damn good, I don't care what anyone says. Their biscuits do suck though.

I know people don't want to acknowledge that they actually*gasp*like McDonalds but those two things plus their fries are good (when made to 'spec', which the retarded chimps at my franchise around the corner do with amazing consistency).

I have to agree. I think mcdonalds breakfast is pretty damn good and aside from the hashbrown not too much more unhealthly than breakfast anywhere else.

If you dislike the McDonalds cashier, then don't ever go to a Jimmy Johns. It must be a company policy that they yell "Hello" and "Bye" to everyone who was in and out of the door. Only if I'm really hard up for lunch do I go there. And after getting my sandwich I try and sneak out so the entire restaurant doesn't have to hear some jack ass yelling over the other customers.

My bank is like that, as soon as I walk in the door I have 2-3 people yelling hi to me across the room. I would rather they wait until I get to the counter and be greeted only by the person serving me. They do it when I am heading to the door too, "have a great day!" by 2-3 people again. If I had known this I may have opened an account at the bank down the street.

It doesn't cost $1. It's a real english muffin, with a real egg, a sausage patty, and a slice of american cheese. Made fresh. If that's not what you're getting that franchise is doing it wrong.

I did try the new Burger King $1 egg-a-muffin and that was pre-made and totally gross. But the McDonalds sauasage mcmuffin w/ egg and cheese are good when made 'to spec'. Same with the hashbrowns.

Your last sentence illustrates your lack of open-mindedness on this topic (which was my entire reason for posting). That just because something costs a dollar (which these don't anyway) it MUST be bad.

Don't know about the egg-a-muffin but I L*O*V*E Burger King's egg, sausage and cheese crousant. Might even be my choice for a last breakfast meal before the electric chair. :rockin:

I don't mind being friendly with someone after a while of going into a place. I usually spend a few minutes talking with the guy (owner) at the liqour store I have been going to for years if he is not busy. Before I moved I was friendly with the other one (owner too, both from India). If I am in town I stop to pick something up even if I don't need it just to bull &%$* for a while. I know it is not bothering them because they usually ask me questions to start the conversation.

Didn't watch the video (maybe later) but Waffle House (aka the Awful Waffle) actually has good hash browns; scattered, smothered, and covered. And they whip their eggs for omelettes using those old-fashioned shake mixers with the big stainless cup to make them extra light and fluffy (it works). Ham & cheese omelette with scattered/smothered/covered is pretty good.

But their coffee has chicory in it and if you're not into that you won't like it and I have no idea what that cooking oil is they use.

never thought I would hear "open minded" and "McDonalds" in the same sentence. Do you. I don't think I need to be open minded about mindless food for the masses. I'm all for culinary adventure, but c'mon, don't defend McDonalds.

Yes of course I would expect to see closed-mindedness when it comes to something like this. McDonalds is a super easy target because it is cheap and so 'for the masses'; that's exactly the kind of thing where I wouldn't expect open-mindedness. Budweiser is another example, a super 'easy' target for homebrewers. Some homebrewers seem to think Bud is just bad all-around and everything about it is bad. But some of what they do is smart and sound even though I don't care for the final product.

jgln: Yea, those croissants are good but their new $1 egg-a-muffin is gross. It is a pre-made thing (you can't have it your way) and microwaved...and disgusting.

All I know is I'm hungry as all get out because I missed breakfast, McDonald's is a mile down the road, and reading this thread made me think about getting an egg mcmuffin.

McDonalds holds fond memories for me. As a kid going to McDonalds was a special occasion. In the summer on the way back from the shore there was a McDonalds in Vineland (still there??) that we always stopped at. Hamburgers (no cheese) fires and milkshakes, eating in the car. This was all before there was one every 2 miles. Just last week I stopped and got a couple plain old hamburgers (no cheese, but I usually get QP's with cheese) and they were good. Felt sick later but going down they were good.

I like most all fast food places, but in the past 10 years or so I usually feel sick later so I don't go as often.

Yet it's good enough for you to eat it 2-3 times a week. But at the same time you're Mr. High and Mighty too good for McDonalds? How bout you climb down off that horse and have breakfast with the rest of us?

I admit I get defensive over McDonalds. My family has been involved with McDonalds since I've been alive on the office side of things and I've worked in several through high school and college. If you want Culinary adventure, why are you eating fast food? seriously, go home and fire up your stove or go to a nice restaurant, but don't expect it for $1 or even a whole meal for $6.
As far as McDonalds breakfast being stripped of all texture/taste,blah blah. It's the same stuff you would make at home. For example. A Sausage egg Mcmuffin. Take an english muffin delivered at least weekly, ( do you buy muffins more often thatn that for your home) put a peice of American cheese (the same yellow slices you pick up in the Kraft label that you throw on you burgers every time you have a cookout) add a sausage patty and then slide on a round egg (which is a real egg, cracked and poured into an egg ring by and employee). Don't see how that'd be any different than making it at home. If you want salt and pepper then add it yourself, just like you would at home. I've yet to see and egg with spices bred into it.

Man... reading through this thread I'm amazed at how many people can't recognize humor.

+1 chshre. But then again, we all know IP is a little slow

The other day I went into Taco Bell, and the chic behind the counter looked absoltely nothing like the chic in the Taco Bell commercial.

at MY taco bell, she looks as good as the commercial - but maybe 3 years younger (damn jail bait!)...

oh, and the cute girls at the Starbuck's (Heather, Laurie, Anna, Linda) know me by name...

Just as long as they follow the rule of thumb.

gawd, you are obsessed with Boondock Saints?

I have this problem at the local beer store. My order is usually a 6 Pack of Craft Beer or anything that catches my eye and a 12 pack of Moosehead, 312, or Honkers Ale.

The sad thing is that it has gotten to the point that the owner who are always working take bets on what I am getting. One time I got a 12 pack of Coors (my favorite BMC beer), and they asked what i was doing...I just told them "I've bought every other beer so I thought I would try something new." The next week they had several new varieties. Sometimes I think I am the only one that buys non BMC beer there.

You may want to avoid Gates BBQ in KC as well. They literally yell at you when you walk through the door "Hi, May I help you?" in an obnoxiously loud voice. It doesn't matter if there are 15 other customers in front of you (and there usually are), they ARE talking to you, and they WILL keep yelling it at you until you tell them your order. You are basically expected to know what you want before you walk in the door, and to yell your order over all the other customers when you do. Kick A$$ BBQ though and well worth the obnoxiousness.

Haven't been to a McD's in years for myself. Can't say I miss anything but the frys after a late night.

+1 chshre. OP may need a diatribe to rebuke the early morning pep.

There's a really hot chick that works at the Starbucks here (a little thick and curvy, just like I like 'em ) and I was gonna ask her out but when I went back she was wearing really slutty makeup and it turned me off.

I kinda feel like a latte...should I punch her in the face?

well, that is a punchable offense in most states

Wait...did I just get insulted?
