McMerde may be a better name for it... It looks terrible. Did that McItaly from last year ever get popular?

Basically? That's exactly what it is.

Maybe I'm crazy, but didn't one of the burger chains here try something like this a few years ago? 3-4 mini patties on a hoagie roll?

It failed hard.

I remember they had the Batman burger which was 3 patties on a hoagie.

Man I miss mitraillettes. Well... Belgian ones, not French ones. No disrespect intended.

I actually made a burger at home the other day but I didn't have any buns so I cut off a big chunk of french bread and toasted it. And boy was it delicious. I may not go back to regular hamburgers ever again.

I wish more places would stray from the traditional hamburger.

What do they call pink slime in France?

Great burger on a crappy bun = crappy hamburger. Bun is important.

of course mcdonalds burger on an awesome bun = crappy hamburger also

Except that France has actual laws about what can and can't be called a baguette, based on where and how the bread is made. There laws were developed to maintain some kind of traditional bread and food industry that could not be taken over by foreign mass market manufacturing. So, this is very interesting, given that means McDonald's has to find the proper suppliers.

Near the Eiffel Tower they sell hot dogs in baguettes. They're delicious

I'm looking for some high-end cuisine, so I'm headed to McDonalds for a Mcshiattburger.

Turbo Cojones		2012-04-22 09:55:32 PM

I'm going to walk past a real French bakery and eat at McDonalds?

Soup, baguette, I'm set.

Incontinent_dog_and_monkey_rodeo		2012-04-22 10:32:44 PM

The McDonald's in Paris are always packed with Frenchmen.

Mokmo		2012-04-23 12:07:57 AM

They have beer at French McDonald's

Why not here?!?
Oh right, minors selling alcohol to other minors which you guys set at a stupidly high age. Glad i live up north in Canada, but that still doean't get me beer...

Your hamburger in a baguette pales in comparison.

bighairyguy		2012-04-23 08:58:28 AM

I thought Federal law currently requires everyone to use flatbreads as a gimmick.

genner		2012-04-23 10:56:29 AM

What's the French word for baguette?

dumbobruni		2012-04-23 04:07:17 PM

Incontinent_dog_and_monkey_rodeo: The McDonald's in Paris are always packed with Frenchmen.

Subway too

yes, there are French people that pass by boulangeries to buy from Subway, as impossible as it sounds. then again, many boulangeries make terrible baguettes. and usually its just one particular variety of baguettes will be good, and the rest would be crap.

And if somebody could also tell me what's their word for entrepreneur, I was told they don't have one, but I refuse to believe it.
