One thing though: McDonald's Chicken Selects are really fucking good. I mean if they were sold out of McGillicuddy's Olde Tyme Chicken Tender Truck by a surly hipster people would pay $8 for a 3-piece and NYMag would feature them in a slideshow.

last McDonald's I ever ate at was the one just down the road from Dachau in 1996

Haven't eaten McDonald's since a friend let me gank some fries on a road trip in 2005.

i haven't eaten at mcdonald's since i left school, and i'm very happy about that
BUT having said that, hurting is OTM -- their chicken sandwiches were really good, they noticeably upped the quality a few years ago

Chicken Selects aren't sandwiches. They're like McNuggets, only...bigger. And more...select. I think. They're good, though. And there's all these rad new sauces for McNuggets. I miss the steak sandwich, though, even though it barely qualified as steak.

man, maybe someone else can corroborate this, but I remember when Chicken McNuggets were introduced in '82, and the relentless PR campaign -- to such an extent that all I ate for years during the infrequent moments when my parents got us McDonalds were McNuggets.

btw I think Chicken Selects are different from McNuggets, because Selects are made from whole pieces of chicken breast as opposed to that nasty mcnugget paste. Although maybe they don't use the mcnugget paste anymore, IDK.

Yes, I distinctly remember the Great McNugget Roll-Out of '82. Loving any form of fried chicken, I could only see their introduction as a positive development. My parents, however, were horrified. Such vaguely-named and -sourced food was a relatively new phenomenon, so I was on my own when it came to McNugget procurement.

I basically never went as a kid and when I did only had mcnuggets. I think I've ordered a total of 1 non-mcnugget McEntrees in my life. their burgers even seemed disgusting to me at age 8.

I find McDonald's coffee better (and cheaper) than Starbucks or D&D as long as you get it in the morning -- some locations are wonky about brewing fresh.

I like their Chicken Selects... I have that once every few months.

burger king fries >>>>>>>>>>>>> mcdonald's fries though
and their chicken tenders are waaaay better than chicken nuggets.

whaaa? i'm too elitist and veg to eat at fast food restaurants these days, but that is so rong. burger king fries are these skinny soggy floppy things
― dell (del), Sunday, 24 July 2011 03:35 (twelve years ago) link
burger king fries aren't soggy or skinny! I think you have them confused with McD's fries... BK fries are crisp, salty, delicious.
― writing down my vagina’s sorrows for all the world to see (The Brainwasher), Sunday, 24 July 2011 03:36 (twelve years ago) link
yeah i thought it was generally agreed that mcdonald's fries are the one thing that even vegetarian marxists have a sneaking desire for from time to time.
― apichathong song (strongo hulkington's ghost dad), Sunday, 24 July 2011 03:36 (twelve years ago) link
why would I eat a Quarter Pounder listening to "The Sweetest Taboo" when I could drink a Pellegrino in Starbucks while reading and listening to "Soldier of Love"? Or is this like choosing between The Great Gatsby and Tender is the Night?
― The Edge of Gloryhole (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Sunday, 24 July 2011 03:37 (twelve years ago) link
yeah, maybe they've changed in the years since i've last had them, or different franchises vary significantly in their quality control...but i remember as a kid being excited for the better burger king sandwiches and c. tenders, but bummed that their fries were so disappointing compared to mcdonald's

Hardee's new chicken tenders are really good, but I've only had them once because they're so damn expensive #derail

Checkers also has amazing fries:

all national-level fast food fries are bad

sort of can't believe that hardee's still exists. it always seemed like a totally moribund lower tier fast food place to me

yeah i've only eaten from popeye's maybe twice, at a highway rest stop, but they put that magic dust on them

the mistake is thinking of them as french fries rather than crispy grease and salt.

McD is all "Smooth Operator"--strictly top 5 playlist--and sometimes the a/c keeps the place at cellar temp.

which, you know, sometimes, not always, but sometimes, you just want the most effect way of getting crispy grease and salt into your system
If it means using their free WiFi and not embarrassing their employees, yes.

I will probably do it tomorrow.
The one here does booming business for breakfast then next to nothing for the rest of the day.
but re the thread question, edible only when hot

I'd rank Checkers and Popeyes above McDonalds, most definitely... but I LOOOOOVE seasoned fries.
