Guest guest Posted June 17, 2003 Report Share Posted June 17, 2003 Even if the fries didn't have beef stuff in them, they would still be disgusting. Have you ever watched a fast food place make fries? McDonalds' fries come frozen solid in a big cardboard box. They go straight from the box into a large deep fryer with oil that looks like it came out of a tractor engine. When the fries are cooked (as well as defrosted), they go under the heated lamp and are dusted with salt. Other fast food places aren't much different. Want to hear about the burgers?

Guest guest Posted June 17, 2003 Report Share Posted June 17, 2003 Hey, people in my area have been 'jumping on the backs' of the local McDonald's for just that for years. End result: maybe two less grains of salt dumped on them. If that isn't enough, a few of the individual outlets have gone through the sugar for salt routine. Ever tried fries with sugar shaken on them? Well, imo, bllleeeeech!!!! Lois SBC DSL - Now only $29.95 per month! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 17, 2003 Report Share Posted June 17, 2003 Really? I was sorta joking, but there are some things I can tell you: On the upside, the cooking area is reasonably clean, except for the floor (low priority). The staff in this area is likely to be the newest employees and/or employees who do not understand English. Hand-washing should have been emphasized in training, but you're really at the staff's mercy here. Naturally, the food is all frozen solid until the day of. A sandwich is not necessarily made right when you order it. There's an assembly station with all the fixins kept in trays, including cooked burger patties. After a burger is assembled, it gets thrown in the microwave. (I'm not sure why.) By the time a sandwich makes it to the customer's view, its minutes are numbered. Most are pretty good about discarding food that has been in the front too long. Other stores... Dairy Queen: Wouldn't feed it to my dog. Stick to the ice cream. Dunkin' Donuts: If you're concerned about germs, ask for your bagel's cream cheese on the side. They use wax paper to handle everything, but in order to put cream cheese on a bagel, they have to actually touch it with their bare, unwashed hands. Arby's: FYI, their specialty coffees are likely to have been made at 8AM that morning. Never hurts to ask. Also, they're not very good about preventing accidents. The kitchen staff in particular have to be careful to keep their fingers from getting smashed in the bun-buttering device. It happens anyway. I have to wonder...
