    McDonalds to close 175 stores....



    Lots of competition out there these days. In our area they are getting a lot of competition from Ralleys (GREAT fries & huge sandwiches) and Wendys.

      I've heard all about those White Castle hamburgers. Are they really that great?

        Know they have stores in Illinios, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Wisconsin...

        In the south they're called Checkers

          We in Michigan call White Castle burgers "sliders". Mainly because they are so greasy and prone to cause "bowel accelerations" I personally avoid them at all costs.

          Ralleys are all over Michigan. Their "Big Buford" is very good, as are their battered/spicy french fries and chili.

            LOL it's obvious you haven't

            "Get the Crave"

            They aren't bad, different. Steam grilled with onions (dehydrated), square shaped and put on a small dinner roll. Little cheese and some mustard and they aren't bad... but man do they give you gas! Oh lordeee do they give you gas!

            Those be insidiously evil little burgers I tell ya!

                Ralley's is good stuff. They have them in St. Louis Jammy. Good food, if you have to go fast food.

                  McDonald hamburgers are on my "yuky food" list!

                  They do a huge job of hiding it under tons of dressing....

                      Very true. Today I took a medium Buford meal to the wife at work and their medium fry is easily larger than McD's large. Their drinks are about 2 sizes larger for a givel size.

                        Ever notice tha Mc Donald's fries go bad in justa few minutes? Since the use shortening their fries seem to cogulate into a hard disgusting mass of potatoes.

                            I prefer Burger King myself, or a local place called Goody's, whose burgers are charbroiled and oh so tasty!.

                            The only good food at McDonald's are the Apple Pies. Everything else is mediocre. It's not hard to make a better tasting burger than McD's.

                              I like Wendy's fries.. when they are hot and fresh. Cold fries are awful.
