McDonald's

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — If any restaurant can get it right, it's likely McDonald's. With all of its research and development, a new item must be a reflection ...

So in this case, McDonald’s subtly built on perfection and we gave it around a 7 as well. Thanks to the quarter pound patty and its perfect amount of cheese, it all works. Still, at $6.09 we rated it about a 7 on a scale of 10. On a recent trip to McDonald’s at Forest Avenue and Broadway, he gave the two items a whirl. But about that smokiness and BLT treatment of the QPC: it’s half-hearted. Lessons learned from being in the kitchen of that busy McDonald’s are many.
