Is the McDonald's food chain the best America can offer? Who can compete with the McDonald's "restaurants"?

McDonald's production costs are probably the LEAST of any restaurant--even lower than the H%26amp;H (Horn %26amp; Hardart's), which used to serve great food for the money, which is probably why the H%26amp;H was superseded by the more profitable and less expensive chain, McDonald's! The burger places put the H%26amp;H's out of business, and the best survivor of these burger places is McDonald's. WHY CAN'T U.S. CATERERS COME UP WITH A BETTER SOLUTION THAN McDONALD'S? Is America still the greatest country in the world as reflected by its restaurants?Is the McDonald's food chain the best America can offer? Who can compete with the McDonald's "restaurants"?

McDonald's is crap and people are idiots who eat itIs the McDonald's food chain the best America can offer? Who can compete with the McDonald's "restaurants"?
I live in Texas and prefer a Whataburger to Mc Donalds, last year I was in California and found Bravo Burger, it is better than McDonalds also
I despair with the majority of answers here.



I could say a lot - but dare not.



The GOLDEN RULE:



Fresh is best and you will never EVER beat it.



HOW COULD YOU PUT SUCH TRASH INTO YOUR MOUTH.
i can't answer fully, because i don't eat there... i prefer to cook healthy meals at home, or eat out in a nice restaurant every now and again... but the demand for mcd is very high, that is why they survive... with millions and millions of people world wide eating there ...



until all those people wise up and refuse it, mcdonald's will continue to flourish..
I am going to answer even though I am a Canadian. First, McDonalds is no longer an option for me and a lot of people I know, because of their expensive prices for food that I can get either at a restaurant or pub where the person is preparing my meal right after I order it. Apparently they had a loss of income I believe last year, but apparently their 'healthy' menu has brought people back. I think that people will start to realize that for either the price or the lack of 'real' healthy' (usually quite expensive as well) will either go back to cooking at home or go to a more personal restaurant where they know you are a person. There are now so many cooking shows on I think it makes people want to cook at home more too.
Wendys can compete with McDonalds :) I live in the UK, but when I'm in America I eat at Wendys. I don't really like Burger King.
Easy.



The American public has proven, time and time again, that they will take consistency over quality every time.



This is why McDonald's, Taco Bell, Applebee's, and Chile's are flourishing, and the independently owned restauraunt is going by the wayside.
There is no comparison between my garden, and the way I cook and Mac Donads - Mac Donalds provides customers to cancerologues - Our world is great
While many people in the US actually love McDonald's food, a large number of people go there only because of the convenience and consistency. McDonald's is a marvel of successful American business planning and marketing, not cuisine.
There's one, JOLLIBEE foodchain. They have lambasted MCs already. And besides they have the best chicken.
Staying within the genre of fast food, I can suggest Back Yard Burgers as a better alternative....
I know one, it is called Jollibee, they offer products about the same as McDonalds. It is not American though. It is a Filipino company.
Dogs.

The produce out of their orifices can compete with mcdonalds commerically in america.
In N Out. Burgers are way better then any other fast food burger. Their fries are sliced fresh on site. Cost is a bit more but well worth it.
