12 - Cassandra Salvador: The Best Fast Food

 


I, personally, have two favorite fast-food restaurants that I get the same thing every time I go. Those two restaurants are McDonald’s and Burger King. I am a creature of habit and get a quarter pounder with cheese and fries at McDonald’s and a Jr. Whopper with cheese and no tomato if I’m feeling brave enough to speak up to tell them about my burning hatred towards tomatoes. (For the purposes of this, I will be covering what I get from McDonald’s because I get it more and I have more to say about it)


With the quarter pounder, it comes with everything I enjoy on it. I love onions so much so that I could eat an onion like an apple and find it delicious. The onions come in amazing rings so you can have a bit of onion in every bite. Moving onto the pickles, the pickles are great. There is a good amount of them (even though I probably would want more of them, but it’s not too little). Biting into a pickle is almost like a treat in the burger. Everything in the burger works so well together and makes a wonderful experience that I look forward to tasting when I get McDonald’s.


The fries are delicious when they’re cooked right. The one thing I hate about McDonald’s is when their fries are half hazardly made because I know the potential. When they’re salted to perfection (not too salty), not soggy, not burnt, and not cold, they are absolutely delicious. They go perfectly with the quarter pounder and are enough to make mouths drool. The terrible thing is, more than half the time, they get one of these things wrong. Sometimes it’s soggy and cold because they’ve been sitting out. Sometimes someone just threw salt on there and there’s too much or not enough. It’s such a shame. I look forward to tasting the fries every time I get McDonald’s and 7 times out of 10 I’m disappointed. Even if I’m disappointed, I still eat them. As long as they’re slightly salty, they’re good just not as good.


Am I too passionate about an order I get at a fast food place? Yes. But do I care that this is probably a very unhealthy thing to be so passionate about? No. McDonald’s can be amazing if they try hard enough.


PS: Now I want McDonald’s but it’s 9:00 pm and my parents are asleep…

  1. Hey cassie! Despite the fact that everyone thinks mcdonalds is highly overrated, no one can deny that it is one of the top fast food establishments. I totally relate to your whole blog, and what drew my attentin was the fact that i, too have the same go to meal as you! I always order a quarter pounder with fries and a mcflurry to dip my fries in whenever I go. Also reading your blog made me hungry
