There is no flipping burgers at McD's. The grills have a power lid that lowers to the right height for which patty is being cooked. The grill surface is marked so the kids know where to spot the patty. Every cooking chore in a McD's is computer or electronically controlled so there are few chances of error. The taste is probably the same Nationwide because all the buns, meat, and fish, and all the sauces are made to McD's exacting standards. Five Guys here are a joke, just mostly greasy garbage. BK was discussed earlier, and I concur. We have Fat Burger here and they are horrible. Can never get one cooked medium or less. Always gray all the way. Wendy's is acceptable as long as I have a frosty with it. Smashburger it the best around here. Really like the mushroom swiss. In My neck of the woods I mostly go to Benders Brat Haus. Absoultly great.
