We ate at a BK in Rome, Italy. They have a baconator knockoff called a Bacon King which was pretty good. Oh and they serve beer!

HA, they really do call it a "Royal with Cheese"
Does it look and taste the same?

What's with that statue up on the 3rd floor?
Is that part of the restaurant, or someones home?

Royal with cheese... see the pic, it’s what I had.

A Big Mac is a Big Mac. Only they have a bacon option.

I think everyone should at least once.

You haven't lived until you've had a royal with cheese.

I ate there when I was 17, right before I saw the French opening of Apocalypse Now, in the late 70s.

They sold beer at the one I was at.

Mayo on fries is revolting.

To see if it was as bad here as it is back home. I mean how could they possibly survive if it was as bad as the stuff at home?

It was just as bad as I remember the stuff at home, before they went to cooked beef on the quarter pounder.

A few years ago I went to a McDonalds in Rome and it was amazing

All the new age bells in whistles for the first time I had seen

And I sat outside and smoked and had wine like all good Italians would do

I did once, but it was on a high school trip with my French Class. Had a beer too. And that was before Pulp Fiction. When that movie came out, I just smiled and said, "I did that!"

Really more to check out the ambiance and have a laugh.

I had to eat at one in Paris, too, just because.

You can only eat so many croque monsieurs when you want a quick bite and didn't realize everyone eats late and they're just setting up the restaurants at 6 pm.

Some other things I enjoyed were cans of wine in a vending machine at a fair, and a pizza called the "cyclops" with a fried egg right in the middle. Common pizza toppings were hamburger and ham. I ordered a dish called L'Americain for lunch and it was a big platter of fries with two sausages on it. Of course I asked for ketchup!

Does the burger itself look any different?

ETA: And does the small fries come standard with the meal, assuming you ordered the meal deal? Because if it did, that's bullshit. It should at least come with a medium fries. The last time I had a small McDonald's fries I was still in grade school.

Did they have touch screen kiosks like the one on Champs Elysees?

You flew all the way to Paris, and you ate at a McD's? What a waste. Go enjoy some good French local food.

I got more questions than you can answer.

Yet, did or are you enjoying, having fun, etc., in Paris? That is the real question. If you are having fun then nothing really matters, what makes you happy is what matters.
