really?
so what is it about the McRib that actually appeals to you?
Diff'rent strokes for diff'rent folks.
I don't want a pile of gristle-y pork, but I'm not everyone.

I honestly can't tell you specifically what it is. Admittedly the "pork" isn't the greatest thing in the world. But for whatever reason, the sauce/pickle combo makes the sandwich for me. But again, I don't eat fast food otherwise, so it's not like I have a basis of comparison. I mean, I just had a whopper for the first time in my life last month on my 40th birthday because my friends were appalled that I'd never eaten one.
So I'm probably not the best judge of fast food taste.
Wendy's spicy chicken (sandwich or wrap) and Burger king Whopper Jr's are the only fast food I eat.
Unless you count a medium double-double and Boston Cream as fast food.
I will kill you if you cut me at the knees. You will drink with me when invited and stay til I say so. We only listen to American Music. I make men nervous with just my presence. I expect an apology if you hold. I throw linemen at QB's. Believe the Lore!
Five Guys Burger and Fries is the go to high end fast food place here on the east coast ... everything done in the open ... fresh meat grilled as you order it ... everything about the place is top of the line for burger satisfaction

the fries are hit and miss ... sometimes they are great, sometimes not ... I think it depends on whether or not the fry person on any given day actually heated the oil right before tossing in the spuds ... when they do, you get those fries with the nice crunch ... when they don't you get soft pseudo-fries

well if you're going to throw restaurant burgers into it, that negates the fast food component
there is a local restaurant I frequent for burgers that is top notch ... name of the restaurant is Scion (like the car but it isn't) ... they only have 3 locations ... burgers are a bit pricey but well worth it if you enjoy a high end burger ... and their rosemary garlic fries are worthy of being a dish of their own
