Haven't ate at McDonald's in over 20 years!!

With the exception of a few McMuffins for breakfast, me neither.
Many sick in my sate but not my county, nor nearby counties like Denver.

McDonalds, the best $1.00 hamburger you can buy for $15.95.

They probably wanted to up their corporate earnings by using poor quality beef.

I’m sure there’s more to come on this story. It was originally reported that raw diced, peeled, and whole peeled yellow onions from Taylor Farms had been recalled for suspected E.Coli contamination and that Taylor had supplied onions to McDonald’s locations impacted by the current outbreak.

However, McDonald’s is now apparently saying that Taylor’s distributor (US Foods) is not a supplier to their restaurants and the onion recall is therefore not related to the outbreak. Onions are still regarded as the likely source of contamination though, given it’s unlikely that there would be simultaneous undercooking/hygiene failures related to the beef patties at multiple outlets.

I hope they mean ‘Angus’ burger. Or maybe not.

I feel for the people who’s have gotten sick. That’s terrible. Almost as terrible as the “food” from McDonalds. One thing I am surprised to hear is that they use real onions? Real onions must be cheaper than onion flavored plastic.

They should have required him to wear gloves.

Nobody at mcdonald’s wears gloves. look at the guy standing next to him. they handle cash, pop a pimple, then serve your fries.

I admit I like quarterpounders... a couple years ago they (get this) started to cook the patties hot off the grill (the only ones they do the with, as opposed to pre-cooked I guess) and started selling them BOGO, which is not a bad deal at all. I also discovered the "daily double" (BOGO as well), double meat, tomato, lettuce and mayo. I like those too.

Pardon me for my lack of 'affectionado' of all things fast food. What is a BOGO? But if I were to ever again in my life eat at the golden arches I would go double big mac. One patty for each chamber of the heart. Those little quarter pounders are referred to as merely gut bombs around these parts

Hey now! I'm just a casual observer

Around these parts some folks can loose their shittaki and start throwing insults left and right this time of year. No self control or respect. Watched more than one member get “disappeared” here. Seems to happen on a cycle for whatever reason.

I enjoy friendly banter that’s mostly in-line with the rules here. Let’s all treat each other like we have something in common - WE DO!

I agree! Luckily we have the politics section here were the rules are relaxed quite a bit.

Buy One Get One. BOGO.

Wasn't a Mickey D's fan for a long time, then they came out with the Daily Double, which I find to be quite tasty. The closest McD's is over 30 miles from home, so I don't get them too often.
