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.

Yeah the good ole days of McDs. When they made food fresh. Somehow the burgers were better, even if they sat around a while in a bin already made than this bullshit they do these days with the drawers of meat.

There was an A&W old school drive in that I worked in as well after McDs in the summers. YOu know, the ones with the hot chicks with roller skates? They used to grill their burgers and they had a stainless steel pan of beef bullion stock in the corner of the grille used to store them there up to like a few hours. Same with their grilled chicken breast but they used chicken stock...Later in the day they became so fucking awesome when all those beef juices, beef fat and the bullion base would mix together. Man some of the best tasting burgers. Same for chicken.

That place also had the hod dog steamer of death. Big ole thing prob like 6 foot long with buns on the 2 sides and dogs in the middle. When you first got a job there you had to stick you hand in there elbow deep for the dogs and the buns and it was pain every time with the steam burns. Fucking Tuesdays coney day, you dreaded it, lol. Then over time you build up a immunity to the heat and laugh at the noobs that had to got through the torture.

Cook to order is a lost art in fast food now. Can set aside any smashed patty burger places, since they take 30 seconds to cook and there is no chance of anything besides a well done burger.

This concept cooks your burgers when ordered, drive thru wait times can get long, but are well worth it. Also my #1 choice for fast food fries.

Best order though is when they break out their chili in the fall. Large chili, a cinnamon roll, and a pepsi...stupid good.

Yeah you can see how it affects places too. In the old school McDs we actually had a dinner and lunch rush. Packed dining area and drive through was nuts. We had like 3-4, even more at times, people making burgers and shit. Now you just dont see the type of rushes they got back then. YOu see one fry guy, one dude making burgers and grilling them and then the dreaded drawers of dried out meat.

You went to McD's as your #1 option, when there was a Whataburger nearby?

I don’t even have any of these by me but the fact that this guy continues to call it waterburger is starting to trigger me.

I can tell you ain’t from Texas.

Found a good explanation on how to pronounce it. Pronouncing it wrong is a dead give away.


1. WHATABURGER​

Newcomers to Texas ALWAYS mispronounce the name of our beloved fast food restaurant Whataburger. Heck, even Whataburger’s commercials say it What – a – burger. Real Texans understand two things about Whataburger; the menu is only for non-Texans, because real Texans already know what they want, and it’s pronounced like this:

  • Watt – er – burr – gurr
  • Wat – er – burg – er
  • Waterburger
For formality’s sake, you can continue to write it as Whataburger so you don’t confuse all the newcomers to Texas in to thinking we’re eating some kind of Waterburgers. Just know that if you pronounce it What – a – burger, you may be mistaken for a Yankee, or worse, a Californian.

You really shouldn't take food advice from this thread.

I use this thread mostly to know what not to eat. If it’s not obvious from my reviews on things like chuk-e-cheez frozen pizzas, I have a strong urge to try new things.
