McDonald vs Burger King: which do you prefer?

[Catarinense1998]

I'm not asking what the best burger in the world, nor where produce it. Just tell which company you prefer to spend your money in a snack. If you want, leave in the comments what is your best burger too - like Big Mac, Whopper, etc.

Burger King. They grill the burgers and have better fries as well. Also, here in my city, Burger King always launches some sort of monthly campaign and you can get a lot of burgers and fries for less than 10 dollars :D

Everything from McDonalds seems to have a weird old chemical taste to it. I won't even eat it for free.

You must know here in Brazil a good combo burger + soda + fires = > 30 R$. Only burgeois eat burgers.

[KMack]

Lean toward BK. In the USA the best fast Burger is probably Steak and Shake.

Combo meal with fries and a drink is about $6.00 USA, double cheeseburger.

LOL. I know. I remember how eating at McDonalds or Burger King on the weekends is seen as a middle class activity in Brazil. Here this is mostly associated with working to lower-middle class people. I always see a lot of immigrants and fat poor Swedes when I go buy something at Burger King, hahaha.

kkkkkkkkk obviously. Farofa in the barbecue, together with steak, pork.

Yes KFC and Popeyes are both very popular among aframs. Popeyes more so in the south/southeast since their chain is more popular in that region while KFCs are found throughout the country.

[KMack]

Yes and so is Popeyes. It is tasty but I rarely eat deep fried foods. Some fries with a burger is OK.

I literally haven't eaten farofa in 5 years. Will be the first thing I do I head back there :icon12:.

McDonalds was my go-to drunk food for a time. Can't even smell it now without wanting to puke. That being said, their burgers and fries are still better than Burger King's by a long shot.

There are 3 Wendy's in São Paulo actually.

I prefer them to BK and Mc. But BK > Mc, easily.

And Taco Bell is very nice in US but shit in Brazil/São Paulo. Here in Santiago is OK.

[KMack]

Very inexpensive. I make my own dinners all of the time. I make stuff like bell peppers and onions in marinara sauce, toss in chicken breasts that you cook in another pan, with rice or potatoes...it cost about $3.00. Hell I bought 24 deli made meatballs from Kroger for $3.00. So spaghetti and meatball with sauce is literally a $1.00 meal lol. And it is good.

[Tong]

hope both of them burn down to the ground

[Cernunnos]

Burger King is a joke compared to McDonalds.

They have the best fries, and even their burgers are perhaps a bit better than the BK ones. Also they have better ice creams. Well they are better at everything.

[Chaos One]

When in US I ate so many jerky beef that I became addicted. I even did it in my house 2 weeks ago, like 1kg/2lbs. Best shit food ever.

But my top Fast Food chain is Sukiya in Brazil. Nothing beat this IMO:

Interesting. Here is the oppose. Make your dinner at home is better and pratical to face the week's commitments and routine. I make every sunday 5 pots with chicken, rice and some salad too.

Mc donald has the best fries, Burger king the best burgers

[Thambi]

Mcdonalds has better dollar menu than BK's regular menu tbh. BK is quite low in the quality. Wendy's beats both of them for sure but mcdonalds is more convenient though since its open 24/7. They do have amazing fries and I like their buttermilk cripsy sandwich quite a bit.

It's like this imo:

Wendy's > Mcdonalds > BurgerKing

[Chaos One]

Nah, this is different. I mean, rice with lean fried beef at shoyu sauce + cheese can't be wrong. Like 20 reais with fries and a drink. You can get this with fried chicken too, or different topping like kimchi, shimeji, tomato sauce etc.

[Catarinense1998]

If you eat fast food only one sunday per month, I really doubt it wil hurt your health a lot.

Wendy's has the best burger you can get at a major chain restaurant. Nothing else compares

Not that I am aware of. Also here all of larger Kroger grocery stores have Delis or restaurant style food. So you can buy staple items and grab
cooked dinners if you want to.

For some reason they closed most or all of the Burger Kings in Chicago (still some in suburbs)... I miss them, but I think McDonalds gets a lot of unfair attitude from hipsters who are under the impression that the crap chains they like are somehow healthier or 'cooler'.

[Crimean]

Once upon a time, in distant childhood, dinner at Mac was perceived as a real holiday. The burgers seemed huge, it was all new to Russian and, in addition, very tasty. The same was also true for the products of Coca-Cola and Mars corporations.
Somewhere in the 2000s, something broke in the global economy, and all large corporations set a course of minimizing costs by any means, constantly raising prices and deteriorating quality. The burgers became small, ugly, and the ingredients are not the same as before. The reputation of these food services in Russia has suffered greatly, now it is everyday food, not a holiday one. But people eat it all quite rarely, because few want to lose their health beforehand.
Burger King appeared in Russia too late, and did not have time to stand out.
The best way now is to learn how to choose quality ingredients and prepare homemade food for yourself. If there is no time or desire, many Russian semi-finished products are now of quite decent quality.

The founder of McDonalds was obsessed with the same food quality, service, uniformity etc. The franchises in Russia are not corporate but local more than likely. If the quality goes downhill the customers will not go there.

Burger king has better quality burgers, Mcdonalds much nicer fries; burger king here lets us use self serve drinks machine and there's a shit ton of options and ways you can customise your drink (like 6 flavours of fanta alone). I will choose burger king based off that. Extra large bacon double cheese burger=yum.

Breakfast is better at Mcdonalds though; Burger king has improved but basically ripped off Mcdonalds.

McDonald is life and i never tried Butler King, so i vote for McDonald
