Their burgers are dry and even though they say they cook to order they leave their food in the staging units until they use them do to the pressure of food cost.....go back to California and leave the South to real food.

Add half teaspoon of Hershey's chocolate syrup to your glass, then add regular coca cola. Don't stir. The fiz is plenty of agitatiion.
Has a yum chocolatey after taste...Alfred-

Something clearly wasn't right. The day after, I purchased some Burger King fries and noticed that same smell...and then, the taste! Rancid.
I believe I now have it traced to the new Zero-transfat cooking oil that most fast food restaurants use. It smells, and tastes..like _____. (insert canine posterior.) That's it. I will no longer order fries, onion rings, or tots with any fast food meal.
I'm certain that every fast food item in these joints, is now fried in this experimental oil. Watch me give up totally on fast food.

the serving pan warmer gets a coating of salt. Before long there's just too much salt on them .They're unhealthy enough as it is.

Buy a sack of good Idaho potatoes, put a big one through one of those French fry gizmos & fry them up crispy in a Fry-baby using peanut oil. Drain & sprinkle them with powdered popcorn salt (a secret)...Alfred-

I told them they are killing persons with high blood pressure. They need to take the salt off the fries and hand out the little packets of salt instead. So if they are changing the fries I sure hope they are going to also cut the salt. We always order the small portion and only eat half of them. Because they are deep fried and have salt on them. All restaurants needs to start cutting all the salt out of their foods. Does this food tastes so bad that you can't serve it without salting it to death?

3-11-2010 @12:49AM Troy said... I agree with you. It's just a ploy to introduce the same crappy fries everybody else has. I had them tonight and now they're no better than Burger King fries. The old fries were delish, especially if you got them at the right time and they haddn't been sitting to long. The new fries are horrible not to mention you now feel like you get less for your money than you did before.

3-09-2010 @8:58PM phil said... What changed, was the cooking oil. Rancid taste and smell, all in the name of health...from french fries!!! You don't eat fries to be healthy!
