I absolutely love ‘I’m lovin’ it’! However, there is much opposition towards McDonald's and the health problems it is producing. It seems these days that no one can give a good review to anything. Yes, it is true that the food they serve has many calories and contains a heavy amount of fat, but everything is fine in moderations, including McDonald's. If you eat there every day, make sure it’s not during bathing suit season but if you eat there once in a while, it’s fine and good for your taste buds.Their food is also the best fast food, better than those wannabe’s like Burger King and Wendy’s. Though Burger King does have some pretty darn good French fries, overall, McDonald's beats them. Anyways, McDonald's has more status than those other guys. I know that when I’m looking for some quick food to get and on either side of the street there is a McDonald's or a Burger King, I will unthinkingly turn into the McDonald's drive through. Also, why wasn’t the ‘Super Size Me’ documentary aimed at Burger King? It’s because when people think of fast food, they think of McDonald's. It could also be because it is the largest chain of fast food restaurants in the world (which proves its popularity)! The other fast food restaurants will make you just as fat if you ate at them every day, so just choose McDonald's.
Some people complain that they have bad service, but whether you go to McDonald's or Wendy’s, the service is all about the same since it only depends on the specific server. What’s also great is that they always have specials like a meal, which comes with a drink, the main course, and French fries. Some will say have a nice day with a genuine smile placed across their face, while others just throw you your food without even making any eye contact, so it’s not just McDonald's.
When fresh, their French fries are like putting on your favorite sweatpants, they are so comforting! No wonder French fries are known as comfort food. The crispness cover embraces you for the soft, warm center. Never forget to add salt because that is everything that makes the French fries what they are. If salt is too plain, you can always add ketchup, just don’t add too much or it will smother the taste of the French fries. Also, their best burger is the quarter pounder. It is just enough meat to keep me full but not over-stuffed. The beef is perfectly thin, with thin buns that envelope it. This is good because there’s nothing worse than a burger that you can’t taste because there is too much bun or the other way around. The chicken selects are also wonderful, and better than the nuggets. The crunchy outer cover with just the right amount of seasoning makes a good meal. It also comes with different sauces to dip it in, though I like them plain. For desert, the vanilla ice cream doesn’t taste like typical ice cream. It is definitely different from any home made or store bought ice cream I’ve ever had, in a good way. You can also order a McFlurry instead, which is almost like a milk shake, but much thicker. This can be ordered with a variety of toppings. There are many other meal choices to choose from too.
Also, I forgot to mention that they are very cheap. If you got a burger from a sit-in restaurant, it would probably be twice as much and not as enjoyable. They are always too big and not as flavorful as McDonald’s burgers. So next time you're ready for a quick bite to eat, check out McDonald's.

This is wonderfull. I love how you described the best things McDonalds. You used a strong personality towards those french fries, those are definetly my favorite!I loved how you explained the defferent toppings to use if one is not satifying enough!
ReplyDeleteWhen you said,"The beef is perfectly thin, with thin buns that envelope it." I am pretty sure you ment envelop.
Liv- Although I do not agree with your opinion on Mickey D's, your blog post was flawless. I like the way you talked about the restaurant and compared it to others, and it made me think twice about my opinion on the food there. You used really good adjectives that aided in your descriptions, which put a detailed image in my head. Good work!
ReplyDeletenice take on mcdonalds. honestly, i'm with you on the fries. Also, your attention to the balance and description to the flavor is simply fabulous. i am starving right now thanks to you.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, there are some things you need to fix within your writing. I feel like you have so many ideas on the subject that you just blurt them out. Instead, it may be better to separate the ideas into clear sentences that flow more easily.
Examples?
-1st paragraph. the sentence where you mention bathing suit season.
-2nd paragraph. "i know that when i'm looking..." i had to read this sentence a few times to fully get it.
-3rd paragraph, 1st sentence
"...every day, so just choose McDonald's." i get what you mean here; i think there's a much better way to say it. you're making it sound like you have no real reason to choose it.
"...favorite sweatpants, they are so..." very simple, you need a semicolon or a period infront of "they."
but other than cleaning those minor things up, this could be a very well written persuasive essay.

Morgan's comments are dead-on, so I won't repeat them here.
ReplyDeleteWatch out for the old desert vs. dessert quandary. Remember--you always want more dessert, so that one has an extra S.
I like this topic choice. Why doesn't Mickey D's get the review that a fine dining establishment receives? For me, it's all about the cheeseburger and the diced onions. I swear they dip those onions in sugar!
