[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Who makes the best fries/McDonalds or Burger King?

Meat-man Joined Jan 2002 Posts 40 EE Offline USA	Posted: 6/6/2002 9:39:17 AM EST After all these years of eating fast food.I have come to the opinion that Mcdonalds make the best fries. Which do you prefer?? btw is there any truth to the rumor that Mcdonalds take 3/4 of the potato production in the US for their fries???

Shadowblade Member Joined Oct 2001 Posts 1365 EE Offline AK, USA	Posted: 6/6/2002 9:44:23 AM EST Burger King fries are nasty... I can't even eat them. McDonalds are good, Wendy's are good.

bill3508 Joined Nov 2001 Posts 225 EE Offline GA, USA	Posted: 6/6/2002 9:44:50 AM EST McDonalds' has the best fries by far. Burger Kings fries were better before they changed them a few years ago. Now they are crap, my least favorite fry of all restaurant chains. McDonalds is the king of fries. Bill3508

In and Out fries are OK, they really aren't bad or good, just different. I can't explain it but they taste so "unlike other fries" Anyways, McD's fries are hands down the best...

Boomer Joined Feb 2001 Posts 1944 EE Offline WA, USA	Posted: 6/6/2002 3:18:12 PM EST McDonald's has the best fries. Unfortunately, when I go out to eat for lunch, I only have Burger King, Jack In The Box, and Subway to choose from as they are the only ones in the area open at 3:00AM. More often than not, the nod goes to Subway for a tasty club or meatball sandwich.

Mickey-D's are the best...BUT... here in Tulsa is a burger joint named GOLDIES. They used to have hand cut fries cooked in peanut oil! Hand formed ground chopped steak grilled on Hickory grill and all the bread and butter pickles you could hold. Alas, they have caved to the (health conscious???)do-gooders and use frozen fries cooked in what ever the cheapest oil crap they could buy(like everyone else!). Still have fairly good burgers and the pickle bar but is not near what they used to be(which was the best product I have ever eaten).What a shame...[:(]

If anyone is old enough to remember when McDs used to FF/cut those huge spuds right in front of you? Now THOSE were french fries! You could make a meal out of just those. I think they were 12 cents. Picking up pop bottles for deposit got you a meal, as the burgers were only 15 cents. But you had to eat outside (on a crude tiled bench) or in the car as there was no indoor dining. I think nowadays its a crapshoot anywhere, depending on who made them and how long they sit?

jz87 Joined Sep 2001 Posts 420 EE Offline NY, USA	Posted: 6/9/2002 5:58:01 AM EST I stay away from Burger King fries. I seriuosly think they piss in them. Once me and my friends went to a Burger King late at night and we were the only ones there and they served us fries and they were clumped together, smelled like piss and tasted sour.

warlord Joined Dec 2000 Posts 3117 EE Offline CA, USA	Posted: 6/9/2002 6:55:40 AM EST Neither Mickey D's or Burglar King. Here in South. Calif. it is In-&-Out Burgers. They make their french fries from real fresh potatoes rather than the frozen variety. They have fresh potatoes delivered to their stores on a daily basis. I think they use about 1,000 of potatoes a day. They are politically conservative running the company.

Where is the Meat-man to answer my question? He can start this discussion but then disappears. I'd like an expert opinion on the quality of the "hamburgers" these places peddle.

Ah the meat man is here. meat man don't worketh on weekends[:D] The meat used in MD and BK are of the highest quality avalailble. It not the ingredients but how you use them. I personally perfer the whopper to the big mac. Now the fries that another matter Did you know that MD is so quality conscience that i have heard they they send patties from the US to the MD's in Asia just to be sure.

I can't stand that coating Burger King put on theirs to keep the outside crispy longer. Whataburger has good fries too, but they arent as consistant as McDonalds. And Wendys, can't forget Wendys. Their fries are good too.

Wow! everyone agreed so far that Mcdonald's fries are better than BK's. Total agreement. It must be a rare planetary alignment. Burger King used to have good burgers until they decided to pre-cook all the burgers and them nuke them before serving. This practice wouldn't be that bad if they only nuked the patties, but they nuke the whole sandwich. If the bun on your burger is hotter than hell....something ain't right.
