New fast food discussion/review thread

OK OOT, it's been a while since we had a devoted fast food thread around here and I think it's time we had a new one.

I also threw in a junior bacon cheeseburger as a side dish. Ugh. This wasn't helped by them messing up the order and making it plain (no lettuce tomato or mayo). But holy cow the patty is so small now, and the price is up to $3.29. Not even close to worth it.

sadly Wendy's has become what they used to mock:

an astute observation
shame on them


I was at Wendy's today; yup, prices are up. They do have bacon deluxe for $2.69 right now.


I wonder how many current day Wendy's nuggets of 20 count would equate to 2000 year sized Wendy's nuggets.

Probably like 12. Such a rip off.

That's true of the value burgers, but the beef is still there on the Single, Double, Triple and Baconator.

If they ever start shaving those patties they're done.


Free McChicken because DC Caps won, with $1 purchase in my deals

$5 for a Spicy McChix, McDouble, 4pc McNugs, sm fries, and sm coke zero. Pretty much the original dollar menu like 10-20 years ago.

Pizza is much more popular now than it was way back when.


I think a personal sized pizza would go big...


I can remember getting pizza at that McD's in the Barbary Coast basement like it was yesterday. It seemed great to me. They were personal sized.

Barbary Coast in LV btw, right across the street from Bally's.

zomg, no Bally's? I hope they still have that walkway and escalator out front, under the arches. So cool.


Today's Taco Bell drop is a $1 Crunch Wrap! You have until 3pm pdt to claim in app. Then you have the rest of the day to use.

Gogogogo!

Sorry, that walkway is now an outdoor mall.

compelled to say RIP Bill's Gamblin' Hall.


If you go back far enough, wasn't the Bally's (you may know it as the Horseshoe - ELD) formerly the MGM?

might as well say RIP The Cromwell. It's being rebranded as the Vanderpump Hotel within the year.

the McDonalds in the basement of the Barbary Coast was awesome back in the day for a quick cheap eat mid-Strip. RIP.

sure, why not

yes

IIRC when you hear about the big MGM fire it was at what became Bally's and later the the HS.


got BK today, off the broiler.

Props: Hot n' beefy
Slops: It was microwaved so much the cheese exploded into the wrapper

Seems counterintuitive to nuke the burger after its hot off the broiler. I wish there was a way to specify NO NUKE in the app.

My order:

1
Free Any Size Fries
$0.00
1
Bacon Double Cheeseburger
$4.29

Free any size fries is pretty sick, unfortunately though all whopper and higher tier burgs start at $9 nowadays. For reference, I can get a lb of amazing ground beef at whole foods for $6.99/lb.

Bun prices are usurious. Best I can get is like $3.99 for an eight-pack of hawaiian buns. Luckily those are good enough to eat plain, or with butter
