Your mention of the Roy Rodgers chain. When they first emerged, in the late 70's, their burgers were far superior to McD's, but it sounds like they have slipped. The worst chain I ever encountered was Wimpy, but probably because it was in Hong Kong, and lord knows what they used for meat. When I moved to London in the late 60's there were Wimpy chains there too and my God, they were vile. Then the first Hard Rock Cafe opened just on the southeast side of Hyde Park and it was the place to be. All the coolest Londoners hung out there, high as kites and bedecked in their Biba finery, but for a seventh grader it was a cool as it could be. I still ate burgers then but gave 'em up when I was 19. I've never looked back. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <s3raphita@...> wrote : When in the USA the worst fast-food I tried was the Roy Rogers chain. Yuk! I liked the Wendy products but it never caught on here in the UK. I agree about McD's though - pretty gross. Ditto Subway. KFC was the first US chain that opened restaurants in the UK (1960s) and are probably the best of the bunch. On a documentary about the very first UK KFC one of the original staff mentioned they tried to give away free samples to the public in the street and everyone they approached ran away! ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <noozguru@...> wrote : I never liked McDonald's burgers for fast food. They mix onions in the meat probably so you can't tell it is cheap beef. Jack in the Box does the same. Wendy's and Burger King don't do this and I liked BK's broiled burgers. But that was years ago when I still ate beef. On 07/15/2014 06:45 PM, s3raphita@... mailto:s3raphita@...

I think he's overlooking the hidden subsidies but he's right that it offers excellent value for money (if you remember to keep taking your statins). http://nypost.com/2013/07/28/the-greatest-food-in-human-history/ http://nypost.com/2013/07/28/the-greatest-food-in-human-history/
