I have friends with this mindset and I just don't understand it. The amount of joy I get out of an amazing pizza compared to say $5 poverty pizza at little caesars is just too big to bother with quantity over quality.
I'm with McCheese. haha! Suppose this is why I'm 6'6" and 350lbs?

Take pizza. $10 pizza from Pizza Hut versus a $30 pie from a local shop. It's not 3 times as good, and while I can tell a difference in taste, I don't think there is much difference between the 2. But hey, I'm no super taster.

So given that perspective, quantity means much more than quality, as the price for "quality" usually doesn't shine through enough to make it worth it.

I'm with kudos, you have aligned yourself with dark and terrible force in McCheese.

The bottom line is that you don't need the quantity, most of the time you probably don't even want it, you just get it because it is cheap and eat it because you are bored. I'll take the fancy schmancy pizza (which in my neighborhood is more like 16 bucks for a pie and it is actually made by a person from scratch with ingredients I can recognize) over Little Caesar's any day. But I have eaten it, and I even enjoy their thin crust ketchup and crackers pizza.

Anyone had the Taco Bell breakfast? Some some-what reputable news source reviewed them and said they were really good and may actually give McDonald's breakfast competition. The pics they posted actually looked surprisingly decent for something a pissed off teenager had to assemble at 7:30am. Not that I give a fuck.

I'm a super-taster in the sense that if it tastes good, I'll eat it. Anyone else is just a whiny jag.

Planning to try taco bell breakfast next Friday. Ordering a crunch wrap and a Waffle. Every review I've read really liked it.

That AM crunchwrap does look pretty good. For $1 during happy hour, the Taco Bell Grillers are pretty good (I usually get the Chilli Cheese Fries and Beefy Nachos Grillers and a Baja Blast Freeze). From 2-5 all of their drinks are also $1 for a medium.

Red Robin fries are fucking terrible. In fact all steak fries are fucking bad to be honest. McDonald's style is the best obviously but I'd take steak and shake fries over red Robin any day.
Incorrect, Braum's has the best fries or maybe Chicken Express.

Just ate at Johnny Rockets and holy shit their fries are fucking terrible. Zero taste so I had to drown them in tobasco to get any flavor.

Their burgers are good but the place in general is overpriced compared to other sit-down burger places. It's around the same price as Five Guys around here. Which would you rather have?

I've had the same experience as Joz123 at Johnny Rockets. Burger was alright--but nothing to write home about--but the fries were basically just sliced and fried potatoes. No seasoning of any kind on them. I much prefer 5 Guys for both fries and burgers.

Johnny Rockets kind of sucks. I'm not a fan. The booth jukeboxes are cool though.

I took my kids to Johnny Rockets the other day figuring it would be a fairly inexpensive meal and we could have some fun. 75 mother fucking dollars for mediocre burgers and shakes. 3 of them kids burgers. Seriously bros, that is the most money I have ever paid for burgers and I was stunned.

If you really want to buy some overpriced and overhyped burgers hit up a Bobby's Burger Palace.

I've been there, better burgers (marginally) and actually less expensive than Johnny Rockets. But still overpriced. When I could spend half the money at Five Guys it just doesn't make sense.

I went on a cruise for my honeymoon and the ship had a Guy (Fieri) Burger Joint. It was unlimited burgers, for free, all day erry day (well, until like 6 pm I think). Never in my life have I had so many cheeseburgers. They were fucking delicious. Might've been because they were free.

Secret menus are the stupidest fucking invention to ever hit fast food. They exist solely to make the greasy, basement dwelling neckbeards who order off it feel superior to the plebians on the rare occasions they crawl out of their WoW-caves.

If it's a dish and you serve it, it should be on the fucking menu.
Yup, exactly. Secret menus are yet another way for the hipster dipshits to feel a false sense of superiority. I'm betting they are all the rage in cities like Portland, Seattle, etc.
