consumer society. I've learned to give in immediately. If I suppress
it, it grows and grows till I have one big giant burger jones and
hafta go around scarfing burgers for about month. Be forwarned. 😉Quoted message said:lukewarm Big Mac n fries, also lukewarm....
One of the reasons I don't frequent the top burger chains (McD, Wndy,
BK, JITB, etc). They typically make too many and put them under heat
lamps to rot. Getting a fresh one at these places is a [censored] shoot.
Find a burger joint that will not start cooking your order until you
order it. It may take a little longer, but the wait is worth it.
We still have some smaller local chains that do this. I find older
chains like Foster's Freeze still operate this way and provide a
freshly cooked burger. Another local chain, In and Out, is so well
liked that it always has a line and never has burgers on hold. If
necessary, find a small local non-chain burger joint. It will
probably costs a little more, but is usually worth it. Whatever you
do, avoid like the plague those bogus gourmet burger places that
charge big bucks, then let you make up your own burger. Whatta scam.Geez, now I'm dyin' for a burger. See what you did! 😉
nb
Another good way to get a fresh burger is to special order it 🙂 - just
ask for something to be left off or add something extra...then they have
to make it fresh. If you get one of the big one's (such as the
"Whopper"😉 you can ask for it to be cut in half. I had the unfortunate
pleasure of working at a fast food place in college - these are a few
things I picked up back then. As for the fry thing - I haven't figured
out how to get fresh ones without going back up to the counter and
telling them you want hot fries...Roberta (in VA)
Tell them you want your fries with no salt. They always come fresh and
hot when I do this whether from a FF place or restaurant.
