> McDonalds cooks great burgers when measured objectively
Wait, what? In what world are McDonalds burgers "great"? They're cheap. Maybe even a good value. But that's not the same as great.
Probably more of the measure of the Deluxe burger, which if fresh doesn't seem to have any faults for a burger. Now the little McFrankinstines leave much to be desired.
Fair enough, I should've said borderline decent.
They are consistent and decent, though arguably some are even good (though everyone usually has a preferred fast food destination).
Some of the best burgers I've ever had came from fast food.
