The Offical McRib Has Returned Thread ! }

[palitoy]

And I'm not approaching this as some sorta pretentious "foodie". I like BAD food. It's just the McRib is sorta over the top bad......

Yeah, I enjoy the subs you get at Gas Stations, I don't even think they're made in this country. I rarely say "I'm glad I ate that" in my life.

Something about the McRib just fell flat, it didn't have that extra "oomf" that justified my eating it.

Five guys has moved into Canada, I'm curious to check it out.

How did you like it?

A little slice of heaven, buddy-- SO good. I openly admit, I still eat way more fast food than I should and even though I train hard 5 days a week and dive and surf quite a bit, if I did cut it out completely and let's say, ate an apple or a grilled chicken breast instead of McDonald's or Five Guys, I'd get my lower abs to show and probably lose a few pounds, but I'm just not that concerned about it I guess--

I don't smoke, drink, or do drugs, so a big mac or sausage mcmuffin one day a week, is my drug I guess. For 43, I think I'm in pretty good shape and have no problem keeping up with guys half my age in the water or at the gym. I can run a 5k no problem, swim a mile without breaking a sweat and can hold my breath for almost 3 minutes at 30ft. Granted, I'm not in the kind of shape I was in at 25 and my doctor says the sodium and chemicals are what can get you in the end with fast food, not the calories and fat if you're in good shape, but you've got to enjoy life.

I thoroughly enjoyed my Mcgangbang.

I've had one in my life. I really don't see what the big deal is.

Rather have a good pulled pork sandwich from an authentic barbeque joint.

Pretty fricken amazing-- Not cheap, but very, VERY good. Make sure you get the Cajun style fries.

The wife and I had Five Guys last night for the first time...man oh man that was soooo good but holy shnikey they give you a ton of food! I ordered one small Cajun Fries and one small Regular...I had no idea they were going to dump a pound of fries in the bag. The burger was frickin' awesome. You're right it wasn't cheap...we probably will only go there once every six months or so. Not because of the price but because I still felt full at like 11:00 last night.

Glad you enjoyed it, Chris-- Good stuff for sure.

I had 5 Guys on vacation at Myrtle Beach, SC last year. The hot dogs were great, and the fries!!! They sell them by the bag! Thankfully the guy at the counter warned us that we were over-ordering, and we just got two bags. We still had fries to munch on while driving home.

They opened up two in Lexington, but I haven't been by to try them yet. I'm hooked on SmashBurger when we go to Lex now.

If I had to pick fast food, it would be Wendy's. They taste better and generally, everything does seem fresher.

Jackson Hole gets my vote for best chain burgers though.
Jackson Hole Burgers, New York: 7 oz Burger Restaurants and Catering Services offer Burgers, Mexican dishes, Salads and Sandwiches

Think they are only in New York though.

I'm not fond of Wendy's sea-salt fries. I liked the old ones better.

[Mikey]

Wendy's has the worst fries ever.

I still remember when they changed them a few years ago ... The guy at Wendy's warned me not to get them but I did ... He was right

Note to self ... When a fast food employee warns you not to get something --- LISTEN TO HIM

Wendys fries taste like they were cooked in a fat guys sweat

[Earth 2 Chris]

I like Wendy's fries, both versions. Oh well.

Wendy's is definitely my favorite of the big chains. The Spicy Chicken sandwich is a personal favorite. I had one today!

[kennermike]

Wendys kicks arse I dont what people are talking about? I rather eat their then at MikeyD's any day of the week!

[Hector]

Wendy's blows...the worst burgers in the universe...I'd rather eat dog poo...lol.

To be brutally honest...I have not gone to Wendy's in about three years...so I definitely have no idea what those new sea salt fries tastes like...lol.

So before I start yapping about them...let me try them first...I'll get some as soon as possible...and report back with my verdict...

...I'll even order a burger...perhaps they are different now...
