I did not like BK fries until they changed em. I think McDonalds fries used to be better before they changed something about em. I don't remember what they changed cuz that was a long time ago but I think it was to make them a tad more healthy or so McDonalds could pretend they were. I still prefer McDonalds fries to BK 1s even thou McDonalds 1s aren't as good now & BK's fries are better than they used to be. I prefer McDonalds chicken-nuggets to BK chicken-tenders. I've had BK's chicken-fries 1ce or 2wice & they were OK. I prefer BK fries & McDonalds chicken-nuggets to the chicken-fries. I also like BK's onion-rings. I liked the whopper-dogs BK had for a short time a year or so ago but I only got to have them 1ce or 2wice before they were discontinued :( For some reason it's aLOT easier to find places that serve burgers than places that serve hotdogs. Maybe places figure hotdogs are very easy to get & cook at home compared to hamburgers so people would just have em at home instead of having them when eating out :?

I know it makes me a bad leftist but I love these places. Nice plain predictable food.
Same here. I really love fast-food. I cant cook but I would cook fries & burgers a lot if I could. I cook fries in the toast-R-oven sometimes using the oven feature & they're not the same as fries cooked in grease. Getting back to the leftist part, I know those companies have problems, especially McDonalds & I've signed lots of petitions & wrote letters on computer asking/telling the companies to do better. Like increasing pay to their regular employees, encouraging McDonalds to offer a meatless burger even thou I plan to never order it(still good to have for the people who would), raising animals without routine antibiotics, taking soda off the kids deals or at least adding options like juice, milk, & water. Just cuz I'm a leftist doesn't mean I have to be a vegetarian or vegan or that I cant associate with major companies that aren't being run so fairly.

I like Burger King the best. Their fish burgers are bigger and better tasting.
I didn't know they did fish burgers. I'm sure they wouldn't compare to the seafood I'm used to thou, I'm from Louisiana & ate seafood a lot living there. I've had McDonalds fish sandwiches before but not in aLONG time & they weren't that good. Plus not all McDonalds have them. I rather just stick to getting their burgers, nuggets, & fries.

Yeah, I don't remember all the details about it but there was a big deal about it in the news years ago. He's very much a conservative Christian.

But I now figure that people should be entitled to their opinions. No sense in ruining a man's business just because of his personal opinion, right? :shrug:

I like Burger King's chicken fries, but I much prefer McDonald's regular fries, so it depends on my mood as to which one I'd rather go to.

I feel the same way as long as the employers don't push their beliefs onto their employees or their customers. Refusing to do business with homosexuals or hire homosexuals should NOT be considered grounds for religious freedom. I'm not sure if that's what was going on at Chick-fil-A or not thou but it does happen sometimes with other businesses. I never really cared for Chick-fil-A & I never been to a Checkers

Burger King is the lesser of the two evils IMHO. Like there flame flavored burgers, and their fries.

I don't go to either very often, but it would depend on what I'm getting. I'd go to Burger King if I wanted chicken (I do like their chicken sandwich) but would probably go to McDonald's if I wanted a burger. And I do also like McDonald's iced coffee.

I've only been into a Burger King once in my life. Took one look at the menu and prices, and walked straight out of the door. McDonald's is a seriously good eatery, whatever its critics say.

That's interesting that you noticed the difference with McDonalds fries. If it's the change I'm thinking about, then it was that they used to fry them in beef fat for flavour, then made them vegetarian by using beef flavourings instead. Of course they could have changed the recipe since then, but I don't remember the flavour tasting any different at any time. I knew lots of people who hated the old BK fries. I never understood why, they were really tasty.

That's probably the change I'm talking about. My mom noticed the change with McDonalds fries too & preferred the old way like me.
