This is more likely. I know a couple people who are store managers(old roommates). Doing $1500 b-fasts, lunches, and dinners is the norm.
Wendy's burgers just have this weird oily taste to them. I don't know how to describe it. Their chicken sandwiches are pretty good though. This thread makes me want to go to Hardees, but it's about 15 minutes each way.
Not from what I've seen in my lifetime.
Don't even get me started on free samples! *cough*Costco*cough*. People are like savages when it comes to food.
Not good and most overrated burger.
It's even Gordon Ramsay's favorite fast food burger. There's something wrong with you.
I might go with 'decent'. About every six months I get one, just had one this week. Bleh.
We agree on the main thing, for a burger that's 'decent', it's overrated as 'oh my gosh I loveeeeeeee In n Out it's amazing' a lot.
Since Hardees and Carl's Jr. are about the same, ya, we agree they're better.
You rank In n Out higher than I do. Haven't had Krystal so can't rank them. I rank Wendy's higher than you - I put Sonic in that bad spot.
Then there are the 'casual restaurant' burgers that are better than any of these pretty much, Chili's and Red Robin type burgers.
of the big three national chains - wendys - burger king - mcdonalds the wendys burgers are the best.
in n out is good just overhyped. you gotta get a double though. a single patty is too small.
shake shack, while also super hyped, is indeed worth the hype. sonic sucks. i went to red robin once, was not impressed, gotta try it again.
Sounds like we agree a lot. Red Robin isn't great, just better than the fast food. I'd recommend Chili's over them.
I haven't had Applebee's in years, so can't comment on those, but suspect they're in the same 'typical' casual restaraunt quality.
A lot of independent diners have better burgers than the chains.
I could name about twenty in the bay area and there are more.
We even have some fancy 'burger bar' with a price range of about $15 to $75 in San Francisco, but I wasn't that impressed with the taste.
Another San Francisco place has a burger people RAVE about that's some 'all natural' burger, but again, the taste just wasn't there for me.
The one I linked the pictures of - that's a good one.
fuck that. there's no room for lettuce, tomato, pickle, onion. you'd have to unhinge your jaw to eat that thing. pass.
i'd rather have this:

Have you seen an In N Out burger, it does look like that.
my argument though was that if mcd's sold real food they would make more money, and I can see why that doesn't make sense. their entire business model is based on pushing as much product as they can for the lowest margins possible in order to stay competitive.
I think the reason why McDonald's Dollar Menu is failing to boost sales now is same reason Walmart seems to be saying it's core customer is stressed, stretched, and has very limited extra disposable income.
Economic recovery has been very bi-furcated, and spike in gasoline prices a month ago, plus expiration of payroll tax holiday, have made many consumers very cautious with discretionary dollars they have.
Costco shopper, or even more likely very upbrand luxury item sellers or auto maker like BMW are probably seeing record sales like it's 1999 all over again.
I was a manager of a chicken express(mainly a franchise in Texaa) in the mid 2000s. The location I worked at grossed $5500-$9000 a day. The $4900 a day sounds low for a properly run McDonald's. I guess since its average they have a lot of bad locations or mismanaged locations.

it fails because
is right around the corner
Wrong. I'm not saying In n Out isn't a little better than the $1 McDonald's burger.
For a good fast food burger, my recollection is go to Backyard Burgers.
I have one of the best burger places in the country near me, so that's useful.
Far better than In n Out are Carl's Jr., if you need fast food; even Wendy's is better.
The worst major chain burger though is Sonic's.
You do have no taste! Sonic and In N Out make good burgers! But the best place around here not including Red Robin is Smash burger.
McDonald's fails at more than just the dollar menu.
(In n Out is) Not good and most overrated burger.
In n Out is ok
Not everyone has the same opinion.
