I was just trying to think of a way to describe the last McD’s cheeseburger I had.
Someone said “grainy” and I think that is appropriate. I think if you took an old worn out football, cut a chunk of it off and ground it up, then mixed it with some Elmers glue to keep it together, then put in on a 10 day old bun with the cheapest bit of cheese product, that pretty much reminds me of how it tasted.
Most have gone to quick-prep, where the burgers are pre-made, then taken out of a warmer.
Burger King used to boast flame-broiling as their selling point. But they, too, simply take a pre-made patty out of a warmer. Dry and tasteless.
DQ used to flame broil as well. I'd rate their burgers as the worst among big franchises.
Dave Thomas would be rolling over in his grave if he knew how crummy Wendy's has become.
Once again, "Hot 'n Juicy" has become rubbery and dry.
Don't get me started on the suckiness that Taco Bell has become.
