QuoteMcDonald's has announced it will start selling an all-day breakfast menu across America
Once again, our friends across the pond have all the luck.
After launching an all-day breakfast test run in stores in San Diego earlier this year, McDonald's USA has announced that they will finally be rolling the scheme out nationwide.
The move was a widely expected action, that the company and investors hope will help reverse the poor sales and traffic at the fast-food chain.
Judging by McDonald's UK response to these tweets - a link to their 'Why do you only serve breakfast till 10:30?' page - it won't be any time soon.
So, can I move back? :cry:
Soon, people will be comparing McDonald's unfavorably to IHOP, Waffle House and Denny's instead of BK, Wendy's and Hardee's.
This is good news for us fatties that like McDs breakfast but don't like waking up early. :)

I've neved had McDs breakfast. Maybe now I can try it!
Breakfast is the only decent thing at McDonalds.
It's a shame McDonalds in Canada isn't following suit. :(
McDonald's hash browns are really good. Sasuage and muffins are fine. Pancakes are average at best. Scrambled eggs are atrocious and belong to the rubbish bin.
I can no longer eat a sausage and egg biscuit w/o cheese. :cry:
I had breakfast for dinner. At Waffle House. SMOTHERED AND COVERED Y'ALL

The only way that could be more Kentucky is if you ate it while drinking bourbon and watching race horses play basketball.
I would prefer all day real stuff
Why would anyone eat breakfast at McDonalds? :(
The Mcmuffins are fine for a normal pre-work breakfast. Hash browns and coffee is terrible though. If I want a breakfast after 10.30 (probably to soak up a hangover) I'm going for a fry up at a greasy spoon, not McDs.
Actually had to check what McD has for breakfast these days - I liked going there every now and then, but the only one on my way to work is pretty seedy and has a bad clientele.
Current menu: http://www.mcdonalds.at/produkte/easy-morning
The Viennese breakfasts (bottom) are popular with pensioners - it's basically what you might get in a normal café but at half the price. I like the McMuffin varieties and the McCroissant (with ham and cheese). Also sweet McGriddle's with Nutella spread. :mmm: The McToast stuff is also decent. Not a big fan of their McMorning sandwiches, because they add too much mayo.
I cannot recall the last time I ate at McDonalds? 15 years? 20?

For me it was last year. I was in Paris, at Avenue de Friedland, and had to grab something to eat quickly 30 minutes before a business meeting. Turned out the only place where I could eat without devoting 90+ minutes to the event was a McDonald's.
Last time I ate at a McD's was about one year ago, got drunk with a friend, smoked some pot, and got the munchies at about 3am. That was the only place we found open.
I don't eat at McDonalds or Burger King.
If I feel like an unsound meal, I go for a lamb kebab. And then am wracked by eating guilt for a week.
Oh, I do plenty of cheap kebab. There's a hole in the wall in Barcelona's Old Town where I can fill my boots for a disturbingly cheap price.
The sign of a good kebab place is that they bake their own bread.

Kebab places close too early in Switzerland. Mcdonalds is usually the latest place open
No late night kebab in Zürich? If I crave kebab/bratwurst/leberkässemmel at 3am I know where to go.

It's the cultural appropriation, and maybe also cheap prices for kebabs makes him feel like an exploiter.
Or possibly Balls of Light don't typically take nutrients from consumption of flesh, and its a shock to the system.
I think he just means the kebabs he eats are really greasy and unhealthy. :mmm:
Man, I need a kebab now.

I had a goats cheese salad and beer in a French McDonalds. Because I could.
But yeah, last time I ate in one has to be more than 10 years ago.
BK is still the Amerikkkan fast food joint of choice for me here. It's just much better than McD.

Correct. Flame broiled... yes PLZ.

They can move the action to the UK.
EDIT: On second thought, maybe not.

I agree with Mono about the hash browns and scrambled eggs. Never tried McDonald's pancackes, ad can't remember if I've ever had any of the other items he mentions from there.

The kebab sauce is something of a calorie bomb. Add to that white bread and succulent, fat lamb meat and you have "The Coronary Artery Special".

For me it is when you can tell the different layers of meat apart on the roll, instead of it being an amorphous blob.
Döner kebab isn't fit for human consumption. :yuk:
Shish from lamb or chicken on the other hand... mmmm...
Only in America. :rolleyes:
:hmm:

I boycott BK.
Does BK know?
Do y'all's kebab joints serve fried potatoes with gooey white garlic sauce on top?
You may lose and you may win.

No, not usually.
Kebab pizza is a culinary crossover commonly found over here though. :mmm:
Must be a Canadian or Quebec thing then.

I think that's more of a gyros thing, but I may be wrong.
A kebab is usually either rolled up thin bread or a pita with veg, meat and your choice of sauce. Some joints put fries in the kebab, which just makes them soggy.
A few years ago, tests showed at least one kebab place in Oslo had very special sauce. It had: Sperm in it.
You're fairly bored with your job when you wank into the kebab sauce.

QuoteWunderbar: The Proficiency of German McDonald's
On Friday, news broke that McDonald's in Germany would feature the franchise's first-ever organic burger for a limited time. This is something that even Shake Shack, Five Guys, and most other venerated high-brow burger chains have yet to do.
But even before the "McB" becomes a momentary reality in one of McDonald's biggest markets, it seems worthwhile to point just how impressive the Golden Arches are in Deutschland. As I started to make my case with colleagues today, Matt Ford suggested McDonald's offerings in France deserve credit. Meanwhile Olga praised Luxembourg's outposts, which boast "fried balls of molten chocolate" on their menus. I'll let them make their own cases, but here's mine for Germany.
First, I urge you to look above. Pictured is a McCountry breakfast sandwich from a McDonald's in Berlin. Contained in this glorious concoction: egg, cheese, sausage, bacon, and lettuce, all with a spicy Hollandaise sauce on a toasted roll.
Did I mention tomato? Look at that tomato. (Ignore the Lonely Planet. I'm embarrassed enough about that, okay?) Many rightly lament the state of the corporate tomato, but forget an heirloom; this tomato is a treasure.
Imagine all this made-to-order and served in under four minutes. And it was incredible. Whenever German diet meets German efficiency, it's good to bring an appetite. I ate this sandwich three years ago and I think about it at least once a month.
:huh:
I don't get it.
In the US, you'd only get a fast food tomato that red if pumped full of dye.
When I was a BK manager in the 90s, the most expensive item on a Whopper was the tomato. May no longer be the case, since they seem to have spent the last 20 years cheapening down everything. Plastic tomatoes could very well have been part of that for all I know.
You can still get a burger with a second patty cheaper than one with a tomato.

I think tomato was one of the first food items to be sucessfully genetically modified. One of the reasons why tomato was expensive was because when transported in bulk, tomato would crush each other to paste. They made it so that the tomato would have a stronger constitution, so that it would have a higher survival rate.
It was a big mistake, actually, as consumers did not benefit directly. So there was a general revolt against genetically modified food.
I've never had any tomato issues over here, be it in the usual burger joints, or at random kebab stands.
