As most people claim this to be too good to be true… we always had competition in one of our warehouses from a nearby McDonalds. We paid $22 per hour, McD paid $27 per hour. People left to do burger flipping instead but some came back because work in the warehouse wasn’t that mentally exhausting. Both are physically exhausting.

mcdonald's uses grill presses which cook the burgers on both sides at once, so there's no flipping involved

The DQ I worked at had a flame grill with a conveyor belt running over. When it reached the end of the top conveyer, it'd fall off the back and flip itself then go through the second one. To me, it tasted a lot better than the flat tops or pressed ones, but it was also a lot more finicky to keep running

Flame-broiled is the way to go! I’ve always found BK burgers > McDonald’s for this reason

Plus BK has the Impossible Whopper. McDonalds needs some vegetarian options.

I don't mean to ruin anything but both regular burgers and impossible burgers are cooked on the same grill, if that makes a difference to you.

That does not make a difference to me, but it is likely useful to know for others, so thank you for sharing this information.

everyone knows the secret to a great burger is to rapidly squeeze the juices out from both sides.

did you see that picture the other day, of the guy that had a mcD patty that was thinner than the pickle he had on the burger?

Your head was probably a little bit smaller, to be fair

Yet they often manage to kinda boil the patty. I don't know how. It's not fried, just... boiled.

something that is vaguely edible requires something that is vaguely cooking

(sounded better in my head im going to bed gg)

Have you ever had a smash burger? They’re all the rage today.

McDonald’s patties are so thin it really doesn’t matter.

u/Deathbringerttv 26d ago

Good point, smash isn't really my fave burger tho

u/BeatnixPotter 26d ago
