    Are you eating food you can get from two miles away from your house

    My nearest Shake Shack is Utah. I’ve vowed to never voluntarily go to Utah again.

    Do they flame grill the burgers before or after microwaving them
    Must be before. Cannot be burnt and soggy otherwise.

    Every McD I've been to recently have started with table serving. You order at the touch screen and get a number sign to place at the table. My dad was obviously very confused by this the first time and stood where the till used to be the whole time. He refused to believe that he would get his food otherwise.
    Ha that reminds me... This was done in the last place I visited (in France). Not only did they serve me a burger without any actual meat in it but it took ages for them to get me a replacement, all the while my fries got cold and my wife finished hers (I was being very polite about it for fear of getting some extra "sauce", the staff there clearly didn't give a fuck either way though - can't exactly blame them either to be fair). They also had the touch screens fwiw.

    Serves me right for going there in the first place (in case you haven't guessed, I'm not a fan!).
    The one around the corner from the Louvre is the worst one I've ever been in. When we went travelling to Paris (wonderful place, you simply must go) I was busting for a shit and it was the closest. The whole place smelled like a bucket of warm sick and the toilet looked like the one out of trainspotting.

    I clenched and made it to a nice cafe that didn't make me think I was going to catch the black death just by being in there.
    We took the my parents-in-law to Paris for a daytrip by train, with the aim of bringing them out for lunch/dinner. We've been there several times before (for work but also leisure) and we always dread going out for food as that (and service levels) can be very hit and miss.

    Since the weather was lovely we decided to have an afternoon picnic outside the Louvre (since you brought that up) after buying a bottle of champs, some cheese, ham, baguettes and cakes. It was fucking awesome as not only was the setting more relaxing, we were outside surrounded by like minded people having a good time, and overall it was much cheaper to boot and we didn't get annoyed by cunty waiting staff. RECOMEDED

    I'd still rather have a Burger King than McDonald's if I had to have one. At least it kind of feels like actual food.
    Yes very much this - BK still sort of tastes like a burger, while McD tastes like tetrapak. Although I prefer to give both a wide berth if at all possible. Rarely eat junk food these days, and last takeaway food we had was in 2015 (so shit it put us off it for good).

    Does the UK even have a Wendy’s yet?

    Wendy's came and went in the UK. I remember a few from when I was in my teens but they closed them all down. Same with Sbarro, we had a few for a while but they closed them.

    Apparently they're bringing back Wendy's here next year. Rejoice.

    We've got Taco Bells now, so we're entering into the endgame of the franchise wars.

    Were you in there thinking you'd rather have a subway?

    I probably did. I was poor as shit when I lived there and it was twice the price.

    There's a Taco Bell on Deansgate in Manchester.

    It smells like rotten arseholes.

    99p tacos though.

    Boots filled.

    The one in Notts isn't completely disgusting. Nottingham also has the UK's only Hooters.

    Stay classy, Notts.

    I was excited when one came to our city, but the menu seems to be 1/10th of what they have in America, and the price is a bit higher too. It's similar to KFC, the best part of American KFC is the biscuits; fat chance of getting those here. Instead it's little buckets of gravy, which is fucking gross. Who the fuck wants just a big bowl of gravy by itself?

    Biscuits and 'gravy' are vile, but whatever floats your proverbial.

    I was excited to try grits in the states, and then I wasn't.

    I always wanted to try grits after watching My Cousin Vinny.

    Are they a bit shit then? They can't be any worse than corn dogs, Shirley?

    Biscuits and grits are two items that I always assumed would be delicious.

    They are in fact both horrendous.

    Fuck you Hollywood. Dream killers.

    Biscuits are like stale buns.

    Yeah I was excited to try biscuits and found them fucking awful. Next time i went in a place that had them on their menu the staff looked at me like I'd just bummed their wife when I told them to skip the biscuits.
  • Deleted user 13 November 2019 19:55:29
    Biscuits are like scones right?

    I'd rather dip my chicken in the gravy. Makes more sense too
