To my taste, McDonald's makes the best fries on the planet. I don't much care for their burgers. I much prefer Five Guys. I also like Smash Burger and make them here at ChezChef.
I only get breakfast sandwiches at McDonald's anymore. I have a Smash Burger, a Five a Guys and a In-N-Out all within 5 miles of my house. I've eaten at Five Guys & Smash Burgers a couple of times each. But In-N-Out is my all time favorite burger joint! Their fries are not as good as McDuggie's though. I agree the change in the oil is noticable. That was a game changer when KFC changed their oil years ago too.
I've never tried Smash burger but there's a new one down the road from me. I like home made 1/2 lb burgers cooked on my infrared grill or my Lodge cast iron grill pan. The non convection aspect of this type of cooking makes even a well done burger so juicy you need to wear a bib to eat it. I highly recommend Meatheads burger sauce as well.
Carl's Jr. is trying to get a foothold down here. Pure garbage far as I'm concerned. McDs is putting something in theirs now that gives me poisonous gas after eating it so I stay away. Smash Burger does it for me.
