Hang in there it's working. -------------------------------------------Customer Relations.

'splains a lot meyer. My first MickyD's was in Ithaca NY in 1966; almost didn't make it back to the frat house without soiling myself. Of course, years later I was feeding the crap to my kids!

I don't people like Brandon Clay, who gets paid for twitter mentions of prospects, should be on the committee. He is incredibly loyal and gets results for the players he advises but is in no way qualified to be a bipartisan voting member.
 
How does Blue Star have almost a quarter of the McDonalds votes? It seems like Mike Flynn is pretty much in control of the McDonalds votes.

My parents told me some of the first words I ever said were "fench fies".

Yea, it explains a lot.

I remember when the Milk Shakes were $.32 and we would monitor the signs for how many million were served. Can't remember the last time I went to one. But they do support the basketball programs around the country so that's fine.

This is the, "If you play for my AAU team I'll get you on the McD AA team" crowd, right?

Milkshakes were never that low in my lifetime... or at least when I was old enough to purchase my own milkshakes. I used to love them in my younger years.... but as Ive aged... I have tended to favor the Wendy's Frosty... and the milkshakes from a NC chain called Cookout. Once I end my McDonald's boycott... I may go grab a Milkshake (among other items) to see how they have changed.

When I was a wee lad in Jersey the signs still said in the low millions; it's crazy how ubiquitous fast food has become; much to the detriment of the American waistline.

Cookout's mint chocolate chip shake IS good.
 
Stopped drinking there milkshakes pretty early on, when I saw what happened to one left in the sun for a few hours - nothing!!! Same thick creamy consistency, just hot instead of cold. Food that doesn't mold, melt, dry out, or age in any noticeable way scares me!
FYI - If you are in Storrs and are desperate for a burger, you might like Mooyah - right by Geno's on Dog Lane

Yes that one is quite tasty. They have so many to choose from.... maybe 40+. I was tempted to try the watermelon milkshake this summer.... maybe I will next year. I plan to try the egg nog milkshake in december... might ask them to throw some chocolate syrup in it as well :eek:

Yea--but the McDonald burger was 10 or 15 cents. ---however if you place inflation on that --the simple single patty with pickle slice--would cost you today 1.50 up to 2.25, and they sell them as the one buck specials--how you see things depends upon perspective. Bought a lot of those 10 cent/15 cent burgers and drove 25 miles to get them.

Whataburger---my all time favorite, when I lived in Yukon (not UConn) Okla, surrounded by OKC, I stopped there at their many franchises and ate their WHAT a burger...!! Only Texas Roadhouse has an equal or better burger. but much more expensive, or is it higher priced.???

In'N'Out Burger is the best IMO. All beef ground fresh same day onsite. Potatoes cut into fries right in front of you. 3 items on the menu: #1 single burger, #2 single cheeseburger, #3 double cheeseburger - that's it. Have never been to any In'N'Out when there wasn't a long line - if it's lunchtime or dinnertime the line is always out the door. But they're so efficient the line moves fast (ever work in a factory that only makes 3 part numbers - AND hires intelligent help for good wages and benefits?). They refuse to franchise or be publicly owned, so they're only in 5-6 Western states so far. But huge cult following, including movie stars in Hollywood.

We tried it when we moved out here. Sticking to 5 Guys, like their topping selection better and fries (also cut fresh) are delish. Like I/O they don't complicate their menu much. Tried Smash Burger, Monkey Burger (local), and recently ate at Fuddruckers, and still sticking with 5 Guys.

None of them had bad burgers, really. Just personal taste.

Our joke comment is that we won't eat somewhere that doesn't know what a burger is.

Never been, looks like typical fast food from the outside. Although we buy a lot of fountain drinks from McDonalds, we virtually never eat there. Popeye's, sometimes KFC and once in a while Taco Bell are the only true fast food places that we are likely to eat at, chains like BK, Wendy's and Arby's have been "ports in a storm" and others have never eaten or been inside.

I like 5 Guys too. But ever since their fries made the cover and #1 status in a book on the worst fast foods for you I sorta have a hangup about going there. Do love those fries though, and they seem like they're never ending - that brown bag never gets empty.

You could at least mention which Western state, cities you've found them in---a great burger is rare (no pun intended)
far too often they are made out of carbboard frozen patties. Intelligence is nice, people who think on their own is better, they make decisions on the spot.

I ate at a whataburger back in the mid 1990s in Illinois.... it didnt leave a lasting impression on me. Its a moot point anyhow..... they dont have any locations here in NC.
 
If you want chicken fast food - Pollo Tropical is great - open flame grilled right behind the counter. All over FL and have moved into Texas, and few other southern states. They also grill racks of ribs. The sides are Cuban inspired, and they have various sauces for adding on. The only frequent fast food stop I have made in years - being diabetic, white breads and batter fried stuff is low on my diet.
