Dude, you ever just have absolutely awesome crispy fries, the kind that feel like they were battered and are tangy and fluffy? There was a horse park I worked at as a kid that had a food truck that made those and just sitting outside on a nice day with a good basket of fries is up there.
I remember enjoying McDonalds… I mean I know it kinda sounds “lame”, but the Big Mac, McChicken, McNuggets, and Fries are just so memorable. I had McDonalds in Guangzhou, China too, but like… don’t have much memories of it lol. Somehow, the NYC Mcdonalds are just more memorable, maybe I got older and memories are encoded better, or maybe its just novelty, I mean, an entire different country, I was so excited, so its probably easier to remember.
But yea… I think McDonalds is just the first “western food” I had after arriving in the US.
We go there quite often, and its not the shitty stuff today, it used to taste much better (2010s for reference), not sure if its location dependent, but the current McDonalds near me sucks so much. It’s like very close to where we lived, could walk there within 10 minutes.
I mean… there’s no really any guide to finding any “real” non-fastfood places, everything is just foreign, so we never really went to any “foreign” places, never really went to a local non-chain restaurant (except Chinese Restaurants).
But I do remember getting cakes at a local bakery and also there was a sushi place, I think it was my first time having sushi.
But yea… the McDonalds thing is gone, corporatism/inflation, or whatever happened, or perhaps its location dependent? Idk…

And the best part, is it still fucking rules.
