Joseph Cummings Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Ray Kroc had a bad drinking problem. He basically built the McDonalds empire while shitfaced. He didn't quit until he took a stroke in the 80's 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75140-ray-sees-mcdonald%E2%80%99s-magic-for-the-first-time/#findComment-568950 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsmackpaul Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 I gather this is the movie "The Founder" The link ks put up isnt available in Australia Dunno if he is or was a piss head but he was a goer that stumbled across something and saw a opportunity and took a chance If the McDonald brothers weren't so stubborn I feel they would still be involved and be wealthy beyond their imagination Paul Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75140-ray-sees-mcdonald%E2%80%99s-magic-for-the-first-time/#findComment-568952 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mowerman Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Yes according to the movie he did give them every opportunity to jump aboard and they weren’t interested but they were also famous for feeding entire families very cheap but now pretty much all fast burger establishments are very expensive and for the price you might as well find a ma and pop joint and have better taste and dining experience 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75140-ray-sees-mcdonald%E2%80%99s-magic-for-the-first-time/#findComment-568956 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrsmackpaul Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Do they Mc Cafe in the State's? We are told it's a Australian thing but I have no idea if that's true https://mcdonalds.com.au/menu/mccafe In recent years table service has begun, were they deliver the meal to the table Most people in Australia use the drive thru and cars at peak times are queued all the way up the street And yes it definitely isnt a cheap feed anymore Fish and chips was normal for all Australian families on a Friday and Saturday night until the mid 70's when the restaurant chains arrived Paul Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75140-ray-sees-mcdonald%E2%80%99s-magic-for-the-first-time/#findComment-568960 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mowerman Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 I never ate in there when I was in LA and there was a lot of them around. We started going there here in Reno and after the first visit we go there all the time my wife is a vegetarian. They also sell veggie burgers there that she really likes and Joseph I don’t know what happened over there at KFC that was an interesting story for years as I would not go in there. I thought their food was horrible but they did a big about face about 15 years ago. I took a chance and went in there. The food was amazing. Also went in there again about six months later, and it was the same way out of this world. I don’t know what they did over there at that . Time and I don’t know if their menu is still the same.

mowerman Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Actually, now that I think it over, it was potluck at an ATHS meeting around 15 years ago, I bought a couple of buckets at KFC to show up with.

mowerman Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 That was back when Jason Alexander was doing their commercials and I heard they dumped him because he was trying to tell them how to prepare the chicken and I thought it was very odd that right after they dumped him their chicken was real good 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75140-ray-sees-mcdonald%E2%80%99s-magic-for-the-first-time/#findComment-568973 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Applebee's, we usually go to Applebee's at least once when we go to Florida, when we can get Vicki from Florida's daughter to watch the dogs for us. We go when they have the "buy one get one free" deal for all drinks, and $6 burgers. I always said they need something like Applebee's in Appomattox- or a Twin Peaks would be fine too. But besides the usual fast food joints we have Mexican, Chinese, or pizza. That's about the only options around here, unless you want to drive to Lynchburg and deal with the crowds and traffic.

mowerman Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 And yeah, you mentioned Applebee’s before. I’ve only been on there once and Las Vegas. Had a really nice meal prime rib. I walked out very satisfied.

Brocky Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 I think there are a couple of Red Robins up by Greenville, but have never been to one...

I always preferred a Whopper over a Big Mac. Used to be a Long John Silver's, it closed, and a Huddle House but it closed too. Not sure why.
