McDonald's ranks just above Arby's. It isn't cheap anymore, they have doubled their prices in the last 10 years completely divorced from inflation and you pretty much have to use a self-Order kiosk if you go inside.
I do live within a somewhat unreasonable drive of their corporate headquarters, so I can get the best version of McDonald's possible in America if I have that level of self loathing.
I absolutely 99% of the time will go to Culver's instead and pay like $2 more for a vastly better fast food experience despite having to drive 30mins round trip instead of 10 minutes.
I would love to try golden arches in a European country or Japan to find out how good McDonald's can actually be.
I can get a double cheeseburger and fries from my local burger shop for $6 and not feel like shit after eating it. Why would I ever go to McDonald's again?
Hell, I can spend like $3 more and get an 8oz sirloin and 2 sides (at least twice the food) from Texas Roadhouse instead of a bigmac meal at McDonald's. The only time I'd even consider going there at this point is when they're the only place open, and frankly I'd rather go to White Castle or Jack in the Box at that point.
This was about $4 USD in Ho Chi Minh City back in 2023. Looked much nicer than almost anywhere I've had in the US and tasted better too. Of course, you could get a special banh mi for half that price almost anywhere in the city.
100% with you on places like Culver's. At McDonald's new price point I would rather go somewhere slightly more expensive and get better food and/or experience.
Arby's is pretty good
I miss the Arby-Q. I think it's been 20-30 years now?
I have to travel at least 40min to have anything now
It's ok to be wrong, just understand that you are and accept that.
While we're at it, in n out is fucking terrible. Fries are the worst I've ever had, and burgers are bland
If you plan on going to Dubai, there is a McDonalds in the Burj Khalifa. There I got a spicy chicken burger. It was crispy, extremely delicious and they used a deboned thigh as the patty!
I would never knowingly give UAE my money.
