Freddie?

Anyway, I had the garlic Parmesan seasoned fries at McD's. I liked the flavoring, but there was probably too much of it for my regular order of fries. There was probably enough seasoning for whatever jumbo fries size they have.

Parmesan seasoned fries seems a bit weird when they don't offer anything that really goes with Parmesan other than maybe their "Grilled" chicken burger.

Id've gone with a garlic salt fry probably if I had the choice.

There's a place nearby that does garlic parsley truffle shoestring fries, yum.

Don't you guys have shitty hole in the wall places that serve cheap food but it's fucking delicious? Let's ignore fast food processed crap, I'm talking about near-dog-food quality delicious meat in a taco.

Most of the upscale restaurants out here do some really great happy hour deals. $5 for two crab cakes, $5 pulled pork sliders with the truffle shoestring fries etc.

Way cheaper than McDonalds, and atleast 40x better.

I'd recommend those of you who venture to McD's all too often to check for afterwork happy-hour deals near your place at better restaurants.

McDonalds has pretty terrible value outside of their dollar menu.

I've got a place here that does BBQ every thursday. It's all you can eat, and it's free. You buy drinks though obviously. However, when you leave you have to pay "what you think you owe for food", and they turn around and give you a gift certificate for the restaurant for the same amount.

Pretty clever and delicious.

We don't have any dog food quality places around here. My city has a pretty good health food inspection team I guess. Even the shitty food trucks are better than most chain restaurants when it comes to quality.

We just bought a house so I might spend this weekend looking around for hole-in-the-wall type of places. Pretty small town though so not sure what I'll find.

That certainly is a pretty clever marketing tactic, I bet they're booked up on thursdays.

I've got a wing joint across the street from the bowling alley I practice at that does decent quality $.17 wings on Wednesdays. I get pretty stuffed for less than $5. They do three different flavors. I usually get a pound of Thai wings and a pound of Spicy BBQ. Extra carrots.

As soon as making rent wasn't an issue in my life anymore, McD's was permanently retired as a food option. Even then it was only chosen out of desperate convenience. As Kreugen said, if you live in a city there should always be a cheap greasy spoon option that's 1000X better than McDonald's, For fuck sake, you see what their chicken nuggets are made of, can you imagine what the fuck goes into their parmesan cheese?? Shit probably glows in the dark.

I live in the middle of a suburban wasteland and there isn't any decent mom and pop place here. It's literally almost nothing but chains.

Two hours later, the garlic flavor/flavour is still around. McDonald's had the power to cure Wizardhawk all this time...
