I want a Big Mac

I ate a good meal earlier but a McDonald's commercial is making me really really want a Big Mac! Do you love fast food?

I do! But the one thing I can't stand is the Big Mac. I think Thousand Island dressing on anything is awful.

I like BK Whopper, Wendy's chili, Popeye's chicken, A & W coney dogs...

Is there a sign for Big Mac or would it be finger spelled?

The other day, I was at McDonalds, I ordered 20 piece McNugget. I got 10. Paid for 20, got 10. My girlfriend joked that God was watching after me and didn't want me to eat too much junky food.

Haven't been to McDonald's in years, nor Burger King. After heart surgery, the idea of too much junk food or fast food isn't nearly as tempting as it used to be... We do indulge but we like Nation's. I get the Harvester not so much because it's healthier (hardly, with cheese, their mayo, etc. ), but because I like the taste. But then, see there are their PIES! Life is so temptiing, LOL!

I have to resist... I do enjoy KFC or McDonald's (usually at service plaza while travelling) but I couldn't eat them all the time... especially a Whopper, you taste those for the rest of the day. A Wendy's Big Bacon Classic, though... harder to resist!

I try to stay away from fast food, but it's hard with teenagers in the house.

I prefer BK, but McD's is cheaper. If I'm gonna spend the money, I go to Taco Bell.

A local franchise (pretty sure it started here) is spreading across the east coast. Jake's Wayback Burgers. Fresh, never frozen hamburgers and other goodies (or so they say - I'm a picky eater). I like their real milkshakes and their hamburgers are ok. Not crazy about the buns they use.

Menu - Wayback Burgers

Ok, thanks. I see they aren't spread out very widely; just 26 of them in the Bay area and maybe some a bit beyond. Will try to remember this next time I'm in the area.....although it sounds like they have large portions, I can always leave a couple bites behind.

its called videography, very skilled, and on top a particular type of hypotising music in background to lure you in,...even if you're deaf wearing HAs or CI theres no trouble hearing those...so alluring and it's a tv's version of 'make that smell' only except TV doesnt have the smell device (there is a such thing but not on a 24/7 type mass media type device (and hope bloody not - imagine smelling deaf whales on the beaches in a documentary!- nobody will be watching it in the room! lol)...

I sign Big Mac myself (fingerspell, that is, as we do have a sign for McDonald's.

So glad to see you back here after would-be vigilantes Grendel and CSign tried to have you outed from here.

I used to frequent them up until about 10 years ago, when something changed, and now I can't tolerate pre-processed burgers like McD's and BK's.

When you grill a burger at home, notice how the burgers fall apart easily? Compare that to the burgers from McD's and BK's. You can take their burgers and throw them across the room and they will still be intact.

Wendy's burgers are more tolerable, as their burgers are more "real" than the others.

Oh, why did I click this thread?

I haven't eat McD or any food chains since several years ago, reason? PINK SLIME, and not healthy food.

I'm glad SF have very few McD (most on tourist areas) and plenty of LOCAL restaurants, including DEAF OWNED restaurant "Mozzeria"

I have to say that every few years I give in to a Big Mac. My daughters like to remind me that a Big Mac is equivalent to drinking a 1/4 of oil. That kind of grosses me out, but I still induldge every now and then. Now I am hungry, but will be eating an Asian Chicken salad from Panera. They have great food!!!

Yup, that why I love SF.

I only get from McDonald's is... refresh soda, that it.

Every few years? You have good self-control. I try not to eat too much fast food so that I won't gain extra weight. There are so many calories in a Big Mac, I think with the fries and soda it's a whole day's worth of calories. So I always order a diet soda with my Mac and fries..

I do love fast food, but I realize it is not good for me. I substitute as best I can making my own fat free versions. However, you have to live a little. It's the holiday weekend, if you want a Big Mac get one. Just go back on your plan the next day.

You will reach your goal...

We almost lived in Fuddruckers back when I was very little. Then most of the ones in Ontario closed and that was it. My parents were crushed

I might have a Big Mac on occasion but I have cut down a lot compared to when I was younger, thinner and more active. When I was a student I cycled everywhere. Now I drive, my job is sitting at a desk all day, and a lot of people in my office have piled on the pounds since starting. So, eat less yummy junk, drink less, become boring.

No Wendy's in the UK any more, so tend's to be McDonald's as I find that Whoppers tend to leave a bad taste in my mouth for the rest of the day.
