I'm with you, the paper wrapper and plastic box have more flavor than the so called bun.
Some folk even call McD a "restaurant", good grief!
Mind you the same people also refered to Taco Bell as a restaurant as well. There is no accounting for taste.

yet, unfortunately, some of us persist in not being able to afford 'restaurants,' so we make do with what we have.
i, personally, call mcd a restaurant. restaurant meaning a place to grab a bite to eat. being born and raised in montana i have no way to discern between cafes, restaurants, and diners. except, maybe, diners are the restaurants with only two rows of seats/tables. ignorance is, as they say, bliss.

I call McD's a restaurant because you eat food inside of it.

Also, Taco Bell is awesome. The people that work there, however, seem to be the biggest morons possible.

Excellent movie.

Taco Bell is my second favorite fast food, next to McD's. As with any of these places, it depends on what you order and whether or not the person serving you is having a good day.

I will occasionally partake of Taco Hell, but even that's been a while.

Ive learned that if you generally eat with another person its cheap, and you get better food if you get those weekly coupon books with local places. Placers that are not so much sit down and be servred, but more like a non chained fast food place. Its almost cheaper with these coupons. My girlfriend and i generally share a soda and fries then each get a burger and get out for under $10 woooo wooo!

I suppose Taco Hell is OK, but with so many real taco joints around here I have to wonder why someone would even open a Taco Bell, but they do exist.
Its a bit like asking why do Olive Gardens exist in Metro New York? why buy fake when the real thing is readily available and cheaper.

I just have this thing about large chain fast food. Its always 'lowest common denominator' stuff. The decision is always how low do the have to push quality in order to get it consistent.
