TimeOut

I read a article in today's Los Angeles Times newspaper in the Parade section about a guy in Fonf Du Lac, Wisconsin who has eaten over 23,000 McDonald's Big Macs!!!! He started in May 17, 1972 an has saved every burger reciept in a box. The best thing abo... 

to have never had a Big Mac in my 45 years.

What about a happy meal? Or fresh from the fryer french fries (the best)? Have you had a McD's apple pie back in the day when they fried them instead of the baked ones as they do now? Green McMilkshake on St. Patrick's day?=) Remember the McRib?! LOL. -MW

Funny thing is that a few years ago, I realized that McD's Europe did not completely discontinue the fried apple pie. So, during business trips, I would go to McD's to purchase one of those savory desserts, often bringing some fortunate (and unfortunate) ... 

Hello Peter! Wish that I was armed with this info earlier when I was in Paris! =) I took pics of the McD's there but didn't eat it. Baked doesn't cut it when you've had the fried ones! Aren't they the best?! Those Taco Bell apple empanadas are good but ve...

And even had his wedding at his local McDonald's restaurant. I recall that he does not eat the fries or consumes any sugary beverage, which are big contributors to the American waistline. I do love Big Mac's but I haven't consumed one or any McDonald's pr...  

Glad you have discovered good 'ol In -n-Out! Yes their burgers are a great So. California treat. Have you tired anything off the "secret menu"? Next time you are here in L.A. we'll introduce you to Tommy's,Pink's, and Carneys! Not familiar with beet root,... 

Unfortunately my last trip to LA was a single night stay over before flying out the NY. I got to spend the night drinking with a couple of Paneristi mates. Hope I can find more time during my next visit. A funny story... When I told one of my host that I ... 

Are two local L.A. favorites. Elliot, we really need to get together and share another meal! You know all the best places! -MW

but i thought this thread was heading in the "fast food", not fine dining, direction. we need MTF!! cheers, elliot

If we start talking about FO and the Japanese kobe burgers I have tried we will need MTF to help us out! Is Apple Pan your favorite joint for burgers? The food is great there and you can walk across to the watch store down the street afterwards! -MW

Since I married an Australian I can help with this....have you ever had pickled beets? This is what Australians call "beet root." I haven't had it on a burger, but have had it in many salad sanwiches while travelling across Australia. It's quite good in a... 

At Cornell, one of the dining halls served a burger w/ egg which we called the "Bo Burger", and it was delicious!! Cheers, Anthony

Anthony, they have that at 'FAT burger' here in Los Angeles. Have you tried it?

Gaz, If you dig In-N-Out you should check out a joint called Five Guys Burgers and Fries. I grew up with them in Virginia, but recently two branches were opened in Southern California. I love In-N-Out but nothing touches a Five Guys cheeseburger with a si... 

He might need a quadruple heart by-pass....... Is the guy still alive?? Jonathan

"[VINCENT] I know, baby, you'd dig it the most.. But you know what the funniest thing about Europe is? [JULES] What? [VINCENT] It's the little differences. A lotta the same s*** we got here, they got there, but there they're a little different. [JULES] Ex... 

That's exactly what was playing in my head as we were in Europe passing by a McD's! LOL! So pplater, I take it you're a fan of Pulp Fiction too?=) -MW

Indonesia: spicy crispy fried chicken and rice. In fact rice and chicken sell more than burger. We don't really eat bread here. Even A&W, Wendy's, Pizza Hut serve fried chicken and rice. Only Burger King doesn't. Japan: for breakfast they have sweet biscu... 

Hello cen@jkt, Thanks for sharing, I had McD's pineapple pie in Hawaii and it was delicious. Not a big fan of taro but many people love it around the world. Pizza Hut makes fried chicken? real chicken or nugget style? Is it good?

Taste not bad. Everybody just follow KFC, the 1st fast food franchise in Indonesia. Fried chicken, rice, and chilli sauce. Better yet, you pour some pepper into the chilli sauce. cen@jkt
