Difference between Burger King and McDonalds

Life on the go can be hectic. However, when you're late for work and you missed breakfast, you can simply go through a drive through window and grab a bagel and a coffee. When you need a quick, cheap meal, you can always drive to you local fast food restaurant and grab a burger or a hot dog. Fast food can be a blessing and a curse at the same time. When eaten in moderation it could be a blessing, but if you eat fast food on a daily basis it can be a curse. Two of the most popular fast foods chains in the world are Burger King and McDonald's.

MC DONALDS IS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH BETTER!!!!!! mcdonalds fries are amzing, while the burger king fries suck. and the "spicy chicken sandwich" from BK cant even compete with the Hot N Spicy from Mcdonalds. BK has always been jealous of Mc Donalds and Mickey Ds will always rule.

NOOOOO WAY!! McDonald's fries may taste a **** of a lot better, but Burger king's burgers are bigger, loaded in taste, has less bread and MORE meat. They just cannot compare. We are headed over there right now and I'm tempted to swing by BK for the chicken sandwhich and then pick up my fries at Mcdonald's! Oh ****... Now I'm wondering if I should just head over chick-fil-a or completely avoid the sandwich joints? Now to think of it, I can just head right on over to Taco Bell.. I mean, you do get 10 burritos for 10 bucks. Now THAT's a better deal than all 3 of those joints combined!

I used to do something like that in Windsor, Ont., Canada.

I would stop at BK and get the Whopper, then to McD, a block away

and get the Fries, and the to Harvey's, one more block down,

and get their onion rings. Ooooh, Primo ! ! ! !

I work for both places and i can honestly say our burger king is way nicest clearner and way more fresh food, fresh lettece and tomatoes, while mcdonalds are precut and shipped wrapped and ready to use in bk we have to cut them our self. Bk burgers are made on a open fire boiler while mcd burgers are pressed so small with the grill pressure. Each place has their own style. Prices are cheaper in bk and you get more fries and more burger then mcd its smaller and more money or well atleast in our town. The staff in mcd are all spanish and hardly speak good english. They are rude and yell infront of custumers to their own crew. I seen crew quit because of how the managers treat them. While burger more english but spanish as well they are way nicer and come out to talk to you
