Breakfast - McDonalds vs Burger King

[Duncan]

McDonald's, and it's not even close. I try not to get the hash browns, since there's pretty much nothing good health-wise that can come from eating those things. But, an Egg McMuffin isn't too horrific for you (300 calories), if that's all you get along with a coffee with no sugar.

Exactly.

I also liked the bean & cheese breakfast taco from Steak & Shake, but they recently got rid of it. I don't like the breakfast offerings from BK or Taco Bell. Surprisingly, White Castle can be downright edible.

Either one of those choices works well for constipation.

Of those two choices, I'd go with McDonald's and get the steak, egg, and cheese bagel.

I get the sausage biscuit from McD's. They're a buck, and I love 'em! I think I've had a Croissanwich maybe twice, just never really go to BK.

Long-Winded Answer
I was always curious over the last few years when I heard those Wal-mart commercials stating, "If you replaced one fast food breakfast a week with a home cooked breakfast from Wal-mart,...." exactly how many days a week do some folks eat breakfast out, especially fast food? In my world, fast food is something eaten only in a dire emergency. My last fast food? We got bags of McDonald's burgers last August when we bought lunch for the local teens who were working on our harvester during blueberry season.

We do eat breakfast out once every couple weekends when we sit at the romeo table in our local greasy spoon. Before he passed away, my FIL was there every Saturday and Sunday, and many of the folks at the romeo table were relatives or long-time family friends. We still try to go at least one Sunday a month to keep in touch with the cousins, former neighbors, long-time buddies who klatch every weekend.

Short Answer
If I absolutely had to eat a fast food breakfast, it would be McDonald's.

I don't have a BK locally, so it's McDonalds for me (I don't like BK anyway, so I can't imagine their breakfast menu is anything special). But it sucks that McDonalds in Canada doesn't have biscuit sandwiches anymore, so I get a egg and sausage McMuffin. Tim Horton's has biscuit breakfast sandwiches but they kind of suck (they don't even melt the cheese!) and their hash browns aren't nearly as good as McD's ones are.

Have not had Mickey Dees breakfast in over a year. But my fave is a plain sausage McMuffin, no egg, no cheese, just the sausage patty in between the muffin.

The hash brows are tasty, but have zero nutritional value, lol.

Washed down by either milk or orange juice.

But if you ever have my homemade huevos con chorizo burrito...you'll love me forever, lol.

Sausage McMuffin with Egg - hands down the best greasy fast food breakfast sandwich.

Well, excuse me, your highness

[LonnieFisher]

Yuck and gross.

Our Burger Kings are scary so I'll have to go with McDonalds out of health related concerns.

I used to love Mc's steak begals, but I got one once in Ledgewood NJ and it made me sick to my stomach.

Ruined them all for me and I never want one anymore

I vote McD's too. I love McGriddles and the Bacon/Egg/Cheese biscuit sandwich.

[CrimsonGhost]

I haven't eaten BK breakfast in forever. So long ago in fact that I think I was going there to pick up the toys from Toy Story 1.

I'll eat McD every now and again. I like the biscuit sandwiches. And they do still have McGriddles, and about twice a year I get a craving for them, but as soon as I eat it I feel disgusting and never want to eat one again...which I guess lasts for about 6 months.

While I do prefer Hardee's over all, you really can't beat the classic Egg McMuffin. Does McD's still make those freaky McGriddles?
