    I watched The Founder on one of the streaming services the other day, not a great movie, but a fair watch. 

    As for the food being crap, can't comment as I can't recall when I last used them, but part of me seems to remember from reading the book Fast Food Nation about 20 years ago, that because of their buying power, they were generally about to get the best cuts of meat for the lowest prices as cattle farmers had little choice but to make a tiny margin on their work. 

    What they do with these great cuts of meat after they've got them however is something of a mystery. 

    I probably eat a Maccy Ds about once every couple of months or so but a relative of mine used to work for them up until a few years ago and she has told me that they only use good ingredients and British and Irish beef that is seasoned before cooking and that’s it . :yawn:

    Not only can I slice potato,it only takes me one attempt to cook a chip.Maybe if theses geniuses didn't have to "triple cook" their " hand cut" chips,they wouldn't be so expensive?

    P.S.Genuine question. What is the process for a triple cooked chip?

    I think it’s something to do with the oil temperature, they’re part cooked a couple of times and then finished on a high temperature thus triple cooked …..I think .

    McDonald's is possibly the worst food in the world. It has cornered the market very well by playing to its strengths. It is at least not exuberantly overpriced and doesn't expect people to pay mad money for six chips because they are "hand cut".Even I can slice a potato!

    Depends what one orders , a salad or a chicken wrap for example wouldn’t be the worst food in the world . And I don’t believe you can slice a potato 🥔 ….:laughcont:

    No offence to anyone on this thread but is it just me that thinks all these places are just an overpriced crock of shit?

    It’s all a matter of opinion I spose, I can do a Maccy Ds with the best of em but for a special occasion or a once in a while treat it’s fine and it really was superb .

    Myself and Mrs C were fortunate enough to visit The Chefs Table yesterday afternoon and wow, what a place! Fantastic food and staff. As it was quiet we had private dining and went for the 7 course tasting menu with wine flight . Every dish was a work of art and paired perfectly with wine . 
    Michelin recommended this place should have a star without doubt. 
    Not cheap but worth every penny !
