    MacDonalds != American burgers Seriously, I don't think they even use real meat...

    Proud to have finally moved to the A-Ark. Which one are you in?

      mmmmmmmmm sounds good. I'm one of those who likes their steaks blue or tartare and their burgers pretty close to it. It's not something I'd suggest to people who aren't prepared for it though. Man, now that I think about it, BBQ season is coming up.

      Permanent BBQ season here, although the 15 Degree winter days do make it hard ;P

        They do! (or they used to - I worked there for a year in college) Grade D was what I remember all the frozen hamburger patty packages as being labeled.

            Just to investigate this[^], how much does a standard McDonalds menu (30cl Coke - french fries small size - BigMac) cost where you live ? (Don't forget to mention the country you're from and the price in USdollars for comparison) I start: France - €5.9 ~ US$7.8

            $5.65 US with tax in Arizona. Plus, I burned a gallon of gas, so add another $3 or so.

              5. Still, McDonalds is America as much as Lederhosennazicuckooclockneuschwanstein is Germany.

                This is because so many businesses are worried about people getting food born illnesses from their burgers so they overcook them. Even places which don't mass produce usually won't cook anything under medium if you are lucky and more than likely it will be medium well. Then they do the worst thing to a burger besides over cooking them... they smash the thing so all the juices ooze out all over the grill. :(( Personally medium rare is as cooked as I want them. The very core should still be a little cool for my tastes. This along with never seasoning with more than maybe a little fresh black pepper and salt but the meat should be the star. If I am feeling fancy then it will get a bit of good cheese made at a dairy down the road from me. If I am feeling healthy then it gets lettuce and a few tomato slices. The bun should be slightly toasted and either mayo or a good brown mustard, never anything that is bright yellow.

                Depends on where the meat comes from. The "juice" might just be an antibiotics solution with side effects your health care provider doesn't cover. :rolleyes:

                    I believe around $4.80 in the US mountain west. Their burgers are rather bland, but I like their apple pies and their new Angus Burger isn't bad (though the Burger King to the east of my office is definitely better--the one to the west is terrible. It's rather strange.) I only eat at McDonald's if I have to deposit a check since my bank is right next door. For burgers & fries, my favorite place is 5 Guys Burgers and Fries[^]. The fries are simply excellent.

                        Around 5 JOD ~ US$7 here in Amman, Jordan, but the M-C is CRAP. I might as well put mustard on my shoes and munch away.
