I like Checkers. Grew up with them. I love their burgers and fries. Too bad they aren’t in my city.
I love McDonalds. There, I said it. I love just about everything on the menu.
Nah, matter of taste. I’ll pick McD’s over BK’s 10 out of 10 times. (I do like some of their chicken products, though.) Wendy’s and Checkers, though, toss-up. It’ll depend on the burger.
Hoykawow that was good! The combination of fresh jalapeno and fried jalapeno was umpty yummy!
For “real” hamburgers, Carl’s Jr. does a pretty good job. They have a couple of “Texas” bacon-topped burgers that are killer 'licious!
Thanks… needed a chuckle today.
I have been BBQ’ing for about 50 years, but decided to seek some serious training about 8 years ago, so I started attending professional BBQ schools.
The first school was Jack’s Old South BBQ cooking school, ran by 3-time World Champion Myron Mixon.
The next was Smokin’ Trigger’s BBQ school, ran by 2-time World Champion (the Rib King) Johnny Trigg.
The last was the Paul Kirk BBQ cooking school ran by 7-time World Champion (and Julia Child’s former student) Paul Kirk.
Myron and Johnny are still active, and told me that the competitive BBQ circuit has suffered much the same fate as McDonalds; their customer base has fallen off and is populated by a non-sophisticated crowd.
The competition BBQ circuit is judged by people to take a 1-hour class, and then are turned loose to judge in these competitions. As Myron aptly puts it: “They’re not judges… they’re eaters!”
So, Myron and Johnny have taken to using additives, such as Minor’s Beef Base and Au Jus (which they inject into their briskets), phosphates, etc., to help them win these contests. And, with the novice judging, it works.
It’s sad.
Curious as to how much it’s considered a “variant” of Thousand Islands dressing (The A + W Mozzabuger I’ll bet has the same slime-elixir.)
Never had a Big Mac, myself.
Tastes fine to me. Don’t like it, don’t eat it.
Reported to Mayor McCheese?
It’s basically mayo, sweet relish, and mustard, so, yeah, I’d call it a Thousand Island variant. No tomato products in it, though.
If one has little kids, McDonald’s toys are generally much better than anyone else’s.
Baloney!
Their sauce comes pre-made… no one is mixing it; so you have no idea what’s in it.
Not to be mean… but you should trying reading your posts before putting them up.
I knew it came pre-made. But it’s got to have something red in it. The sauce itself is orange. Maybe French dressing with mayo and relish?
Looks like the color comes from paprika and turmeric.
So…basically mayo, sweet relish, and mustard. And some paprika and turmeric
I think someone owes **puly **an apology.
Yeah. you’re right… that’s obviously 3-4 ingredients.
Is there something in the water here?
And that was how long ago? Until then, you only had burgers at McDonald’s? And you really thought that’s what burgers tasted like?
Considering that there’s enough baloney going around here to make up at least a couple of dozen sandwiches’, you’re quite right on to call em out.
Hopefully, they get the message.
So let’s see . . . how much of a senior discount would you be entitled to, for something you didn’t even pay for?
Panache,
How dare you apply common sense. Who do you think you are? </sarcasm>
Some of those are ingredients of mayonnaise, and the others ingredients of pickle relish and mustard.
Surely you didn’t think they get mayonnaise from the mayonnaise tree.
Beauchemel we get from trees, mayonnaise is harvested from the flower-pods of the mayonnaise bush.
Um…okay, dude. 
My post is correct. Big Mac sauce is basically mayo, sweet relish, and mustard (and spices), which is exactly what your ingredients cite shows (what, you didn’t think I actually looked it up before posting it?) Not sure why this is causing such a strong reaction from you. Relax a bit, buddy.
