[August_West]

Absolutely not

Sad what BK has become. A shell of its former long ago greatness

 

[Ewekon]

April fools early release

 

[Adios]

That commercial made me nauseous.

These are only available in Deutschland?

 

[Madmannsucks]

[Robertelamin]

burger king's efforts in the last few years have been amateurish at best. really brutal

on the other hand i have been known to have one of their new Bacon Kings/Cowboy King a time or two

I don't patronize fast food places anymore. Well very few and far between. However, I must admit when it is time to fall, I cannot resist a Whopper w/cheese.Just something about them. Especially when it's a bogo. Also not fast food, I kicked Olive Garden to the curb years ago. Probably because I am Italian and used to original Italian cuisine.They state they send their cooks/chef to Italy to train. BS. Red Lobster joined Olive Garden in expulsion. Waiting over an hour to sit for mediocre food was jut not worth. Of course, my opinion only.

Olive Garden lunch I like - cold salad, solid soups as well as fast service makes for a good stop while on the road. Pasta Fagiola, Minestrone are good and that sausage soup is good but filling.

Not a big fan of the cuisine on the menu but it's not awful.

Just my opinion but there's too much good Italian food around the north east to go to Olive Garden. There are plenty of hole in the wall places by me that are 10x better and barely more expensive, if at all

Micky D's French fries still the best for me.

30 years ago they were. When they were properly cooked in lard. Pure goodness.

But now, they are cooked in some bastardized vegetable oil that makes them tast like the container they come in.

Awesome! This won't get nearly the number of likes that it deserves.

I agree they were better in the past but they are still better than most fast food joints .

Yeah they're still good. Wendy's fries have gotten a lot better though. I don't mind BK but if I go there I'm getting onion rings. Chick fil a has the worst fries

I agree on the salad. Their dressing is good. However Pasta Fagiola I make from my mother's recipe. In this area they throw everything but the kitchen sink in. Nay Nay. Good to save your scraps. No problem with service. Many moons ago, they used to put a carafe of wine (large) or was it the bottle, I forget. When you are finished with everything, the waitress would ask how many glasses of wine did you drink. Always told the truth. Then, one day, we went out, and they said they stopped the wine thing. Also,their menu changed. I was not impressed. Anyway Mau, each person is different. Again I do agree with the salad, bread sticks and glass of wine does sound good there. I frequent a place called Fabio's. Located in Grantville a mile up from the Casino. Very good food. Our server said, if you think your mother makes the best(fill in the blank) then you shouldn't order it in a restaurant. If you decide to visit down this way Mau, let me know. I'll have it all ready for you.
Meaning Hershey Park, Hollywood Casino. Let me know.

I will be sure to let you know if planning on being in that area, never know. Thanks Hankster!

The Whopper is the best fast food sandwich out there, bar none. At least it was the last time I ate fast food, which was 2005 (no joke).

Come at me with your Horsey Sauce, brah.

I like how you tagged A-Dub, as if he would have missed this.

Actually Beef tallow. Lard too generic.
