Whopper ... no contest. *(don't like special sauce)

My favorite McDogburger is the Double QP with extra onions.

The problem with BK is the shitty fries. So 9 times out of 10 I will take a QP with Cheese (decent but not whopper good) just to have the fries.

Whopper @ 10
BK Fries @ 3
Net value (10+3) / 2 = 6.5

QP with Cheese @ 6
Mc D Fries 10
Net value (10+6) / 2 = 8
(+1 for a fresh 6 piece also)

Overall Mc D's is a better tasting meal to me. But Still the Big Mac is among my top 3 worst tasting burgers of all time. Right behind the house burger made in a frying pan and served on bread, and a frost bitten veggie patty from the microwave...

I like 'em both. Whatever I'm in the mood for I reckon. I like the way it tastes, that's all that matters to me

Hell, I'm gonna die of either a heart attack or cancer, so I may as well enjoy it.

Funny thing is I like both.

But whopper tastes like a burger. McD doesn't feel like it. It feels like I'm eating McD.

Dang...reminds me of the McDLT. Loved it, although, the whole thing was put in the 'warming bin'.....kinda cancelling out the 'cool' side :/

A few years ago I would have agreed completely but I actually like BK fries now they're much-improved while McD's have gone the other way. I'd call it a wash.

Now if you want to talk chicken nuggets/sammich's its not even a contest McD's is much better IMO.

Those were good ... the trick was to special-order so they came out fresh!

Whataburger. I don't want to live anywhere that I cannot get a Whataburger. The Whopper used to be good, but that was at least 20 years ago.

This is not bad.

Carl's Jr/Hardee's has the best national fast food burger. The Thickburgers are so good. They aren't cheap though for a national chain burger but much better than every other place.

I might have one Whopper every 5 years. I actually like them but they sure make me feel guilty as heck when I eat them. There is nothing like making it to the middle of the sandwich and biting into that soggy mayonnaise mess.
