McDonald's is good in a disgusting way, it ticks all the boxes of a reptile brain evolved to survive in an environment where food was scarce. You get your fats, your sugars, your proteins, your carbs. You walk out of the place feeling bad about yourself and the life choices that led you there but you also feel good in the way you'd imagine a python would feel after swallowing a whole rat.
The burger itself is a good dish. It has an appalling mixture of flavours and textures and it's easy and convenient to cook and to eat. Being the national dish of the imperial hegemon and being marketed aggressively certainly helps it's popularity but it works very well as a meal.
Yaknow, I'm not sure if I agree with that. The hearty burger and fries is good no matter who or where you are.
Is McDonalds good food?
Now now, McDonald's is crap all over the world. The only reason I'll ever eat it is because I'm stranded at a train station or something, or if I have 15 minutes to make it to an appointment. But there is more to the burger than McD's. You can name any other fast food burger and it's better than McD's. And of course there are actual hamburgers, which are a thousand times better. And then homemade, where you're in control of everything...I have knocked Chinese people's socks off with burgers on the grill. Nothing special either, no Kobe beef or anything, just the ordinary backyard burgers like we make in America. 80 grams each.
I disagree, I think if it's good it will spread. If there's one thing people will go to a great deal of trouble for, it's good food.
Japanese food is everywhere, Chinese food is everywhere, Indian food is everywhere. Belgian food isn't everywhere, Australian food isn't everywhere, Mexican food isn't everywhere. (I mean actual Mexican from the interior, not Tex-Mex - which does have an overseas presence). The only places you'll see these is in expatriate communities.
