    There was an article about this in today’s paper.  It also states, “Employees will cook up the never-frozen beef on a grill when burgers are ordered.”  That should be interesting.  Most times they can’t even get MH’s “lg. coffee with 3 sugars and 2 creams” order right!  [:(!] 

    ……and there will be no problems of customers getting sick on under cooked burgers…….(or maybe not). BK has spent a lot of $$$$$ for an idiot proof cooking system,,,,,,,,but not (I think), because they wanted to spend the money. When I was 17 or 18, and my boss told me to speed things up, I’d have cooked burgers for a minute less without a second thought. So it’s only 150???, it can finish heating up to 160 in the warming tray…………..

    Stopped for a (never frozen) “animal style” cheeseburger at In-N-Out Burger today.

    Great, satisfying, cheese burger and, only $2.60! How can you beat that?

     

    Btw, try a few of those very small “spicy heat bomb” peppers at the condiment stand. Terrific![8D]

    Well said!!!

    You’re right. I DON’T frequent McDonalds at all. My comment was that the food is way overpriced for what you get ie. it’s NOT worth what you pay for it…junk food!!!
    If you don’t frequent McDonald’s how do you know that “the food is way overpriced” and “junk”?[;)]

    Just out of curiosity I tried one of McD’s “fresh meat” Quarter-Pounders.  I really couldn’t tell the difference, i.e., no oversized napkin was necessary.

     

    AND IT WAS $3.99 !!

     

    As both In-N-Out and [style=”background-color: #ffffff;”]Five Guys sell the same size patty for a buck less [/style]I see no reason to return.

    Not sure if this is a ‘comparison price’ based on overall weight, but the ‘Little Hambuger’ at Five Guys in the Baltimore area sells for $4.99

    Here the ‘Little Hamburger’ is $4.49 according to http://gofiveguys.com Five Guys Online Ordering.  It shows the ‘Little Hamburger’ at $5.19 in the Dallas TX area.

    Wow. 

    You are correct.

     

    It’s been a while since I have been to a local Five Guys.  I’ll have to check my bank account before my next visit!

    $10…way over priced!!

    It appears you haven’t been to a McDonald’s lately. 🙂

    I haven’t been to McDonald’s in quite a while. We’ve got an In and Out and Jack in the Box and Del Taco and Carl’s Jr. Mickey D is low on the totem pole, but here at least, they’ve come out with a $1, $2, $3 set of stuff
    and they’re advertising it heavily.
    Apparently lots of folks feel the way you do and so they’ve revitalized their cheap menu for cheapskates like me,
    who will stop in and see what it buys me.

    We have the $1, $2, & $3 menu also. A hamburger from them for a dollar is getting closer to what it5’s worth, but I still won’t go. You’re lucky on the West coast having  In and Out. They’re worth it!!!

    LOL!

     

    Actually, I don’t mind the frozen burgers they currently use in their 1/4 pounder line. They are what they are and they’re usually tasty enough and juicy enough. Can’t say the same for Wendy’s. I stopped going there quite a while ago, as their burgers were usually dry and not all that tasty. Fresh beef is good, but not when it’s abused on the grill.
