My local restaurant's hamburgers >>> that local hot-dog stand's hamburgers >>> McDonalds

don't think I've ever had a burger that was worse than the McDonald's ones.

I'm baffled by why it's it popular at all. their quality is the worse (or at the same level of other junk food franchises).

I can get a burger and fries from most places in my area for just a few bucks more. Totally worth it.
