Lots of good stuff out there. The big main chains are definitely going through a dark age. Some stuff is good still, but it ain’t like it used to be. A lot of the smaller chains have been knocking it out of the park for me. Chicken Express is a regular for me now that they have spicy tendies. Waterburger is still good and reliable. Arbys also taken a priority spot in my rotation, since they’ve knocked it out of the park lately.
I wonder if the big chains are just getting murdered by overhead, and letting their products suffer so they don’t have to cut jobs.

It's been about two years since I have seen a fast food employee who did not openly hate their job and the customers. I do not trust any of these meth'd out fucks. as such, I have been forced to give up my love of fast food until we enter the magical age of automation.

I've recently stopped going to both McDonalds and BK. The ones near me all have the side-by-side double menu board drive thrus. They've always been kind of terrible (people can't seem to mentally grasp ALTERNATING to merge after ordering), but now it's just fucking atrocious.
If you take the inside track, you get trapped. But in some parking lots, they took out any escape path for the outside path when they put the outside track and menu board in.
I sat in line for like 20m-25m a week ago, from the time I pulled into line, until the time I got my food. And at that point they'd already asked me to pull all the way around the building...which they were asking EVERYONE to do. But every person was stuck at the last window waiting for the food for almost 5m, before those mouth-breathers would ask people to pull aside.
Just utter fucking garbage.

Literally the only time in my life where I peeled out of a fast food situation was when I tried to order a McD's on the inside track of a deep south option. I am a patient man, but they fucked with me more than I can handle. I think the twentieth time they took someone on the outside I slapped the button until I heard a "WHAT YOU WANT" and said "fuck you" and drove off. The waterbuger nearby was legit, so I did alright. I know I wrote down the city somewhere. Fuck that place.

No no the problem starts before you even get to the board. Fucking people don’t realize there is ONE line and when you get up to the menu boards, then you go to whichever one is open. You don’t make two fucking lines of cars. Holy shit does this make me rage.

Yeah I remember all that shit going down. I even worked for McDs at the time 86-88? And they made the switch around that time if I remember correctly. They used to fry all their shit in beef fat. Its why it tasted so good. It came in boxes of square plastic wrapped white shortening looking shit. Then when the switch came the veg shortening came in big 5 gal plastic jugs.
I remember at the time the commercials and news articles to avoid shit like butter and eggs among other things. Imagine that, avoiding eggs?
Shit still lingers today. You ask any normie what the best diet is he will say low fat. You still see all kinds of shit at the store with labels of "low fat" while containing nothing but sugar and carbs, lol. I guess it will take another generation to finally wake people up from the decades of lies and the stupid food pyramid we all grew up with in the 80s and 90s.
Here is a little tip. If you want that mcDs burger taste at home, get some dehydrated onions and re-hydrate them in some warm water for like 20 min. Then drain and add to burgers. Its the signature McDs burger taste. Its also great if you want some oniony flavor but dont like the sharp taste of raw onion on burgers.

I think I started right after this. So I'd just missed the beef fat, but I damned sure remember the jugs of oil.
The rig & pump for filtering the grease looked like it had seen some shit, though.
I was really sad when the biscuit lady got let go. They used to make all the biscuits from scratch, and she'd get there extra early to start on that stuff. And then, one day, corporate was like "ok, all the biscuits are coming in frozen now"
McDonalds always spent so much time and money fucking around with shit. I never saw what was wrong with the old ways. You could at least improve upon it. But nooooo, they kept trying to reinvent the wheel.
When I started, the burgers were all made fresh. 4:1 and 12:1, you'd dress everything while the meat cooked.
But then they changed to staging cabinets where you'd cook the meat and buns in batches, then pull from the cabinets to make small orders of burgers...and then nuke them.
I mean, I guess they got rid of the warming 'slides' with the metal timer things that everyone always ignored? But IMHO I preferred the "made fresh but maybe it's been in sitting there wrapped, in the slide, for 30m" over the "Let's make everything, let it sit in lukewarm cabinets, then dress it, nuke it, and send it out as 'fresh'"
I don't even know what they're doing now, but smart money is on McDonalds corporate working feverishly to rework their kitchens so that the newest crop of "I can't figure out how to center meat on a bun" and "I don't want to come to work for less than 20/hr" bottom of the barrel failures can maybe...MAYBE...get a drive-thru order out in less than 10m.
The clock is ticking, and it's only a matter of time before McRobots are making the food.

Theres a lot of things where I don't want automation but man, this day can't come fast enough.
It will be the epitome of fast food, its ultimate form. Our food will travel from a corporate factory to a truck to a restaurant, never coming anywhere close to a human being in the process. Perfect uniformity will be achieved. Every order will be filled properly.
It'll be terrifying and glorious and I only hope it becomes mainstream in my lifetime. Self checkout is amazing. This promises to bring the same huge quality of life improvement to the world of fast food.

lol I remember those slides. When I'd see something in there I would always order something else with the hopes of winning the "fresh" lottery.

That was ALWAYS the correct play.
The three or four cheeseburgers you saw sitting in there at 7:30pm had probably had the metal numbers changed out once or twice.
Unless you were there during peak hours, where that shit cycled through super-fast, you were really at the mercy of whoever was running the place.
What made all of that strange was that the cost of the food was inconsequential. We had separate trash cans (I kid you not) that we would throw 'old' product into. Then later at night, usually when we closed, a manager would tally up the food waste. Like...the cost was literally pennies on the dollar. Once I found that out...oh, those burgers are old? I would declare scorched earth on everything old and make fresh product. I didn't even care what anyone said. But this was after I;d been there a while. That definitely wasn't always the case, and a lot of people just DGAF.

I've only been to Portillos a few times. I don't remember it being anything super amazing. The burgers were good and that chocolate cake shake is definitely worth a trip though.
