If this doesn't please you immensely then I think you and I just will never agree about our burger and fry preferences.

McDonald's is best eaten when extremely drunk & after midnight, when all other eateries have long since closed.

Getting hungry and deciding to go to McDonald's in the middle of the day, when other options exist just feels like you've given up honestly

I've never tried it myself but there's a guy at work who raves about Five Guys like it's Burger Jesus. He also wigs out about the no-spice marinade in Nandos being too spicy, so I can only infer that Five Guys is tasteless mush for helpless tiny flavour babies.

McDonald's is for kids, the long-term unemployed and sunburnt twats on package holidays who are terrified of foreign food and can't find the "Irish" pub.

Five Guys is relatively new to the UK, but it certainly is not a "gourmet burger". It's fast food parading as a restaurant quality meal.

Mc Donalds is therefore better fast food, as it is cheaper, quicker, healthier, and taste better per £1 spent.

yo, Mcdoubles are legit bodybuilding/strength training food. Order two of those, get rid of one set of buns, and you got yourself a 500 calorie meal that's like, 70 % protein. not something you want to base your diet around, but if you need an amazing meal for 3 bucks that's pretty much the best you're gonna get on the go.

if the burg doesn't look like it was personally prepared for me, then I don't eat the burg. when I want a burg i skip fast food and go to a local burger joint or restaurant/bar but no Applebee's or other poor quality chains. if I was driving long hours with no time for a break then I would accept fast food burgs, but probably Wendy's and neither of the ones itt

i swear trying out a burg with your fav beer at a joint you've never been to is far superior to getting your same ol mcdouble with fries and imbalanced flavored sugar water

Someone said that 5 guys isn't that expensive.....
One hamburger(no cheese) at 5 guys is the price of 4 mcdoubles. This might vary by location. Locally, mcdoubles are like 1.49 now, and a 5 guys hamburger is 5.99.

I can only asses relative value using Mcchickens. How much is one of those now?

id rather eat a mcdouble (and am more satisfied after doing so) than anything that you think constitutes a "real meal"

Ever have those frozen ready made pastas from the grocery store? 10 minutes on a skillet and you have a chicken broccoli alfredo, or whatever for $6?

Those taste better than Olive Garden.
