Fun fact: In Germany, the big US fast food companies are in a constant price war. They hand out vouchers at least once a week and offer big discounts online and in their apps. Because if they didn’t their restaurants would be utterly empty. For the price of €12 for a Big Mac menu, I can go straight to a pretty good restaurant and have a Schnitzel with French Fries, a salad and a beer.
Some prices:
-The Croatian canteen in our town hall serves good Balkan cuisine from €5. A glass of tap water for €0.50. And it is a nice place, not looking like a canteen at all. Tips are included in these prices.
-I have a ton of vouchers of 50% voucher for Chicken McNuggets, Big Macs and Salads. I don’t visit McDonalds too often as they require to order from a needless complicated touch screen but when I do I sometimes take a voucher “Two Big Macs for €5”.
-a company I work for sometimes orders the “business menu” from Burger King which is something like “20 burgers of your choice and 2kg of fries” for €70. As the boss often invites his worker I am just happy with whatever I get.
-the local furniture store offers 50% vouchers for a a complete fish dish on Friday for €5.
-they also offer Chinese and German Food often at 50% vouchers. And every day they have some cheap East European soup dishes like Borscht, Flaczki, Gulasch and so on for €3-4 and it is alway a HUGE amount of food.
Seriously, if you open your eyes you would be surprised how many really cheap and great restaurants are around.
Americans were told sometime in the 1970s that fast food = freedom.
It feels like the days of 5EUR döner are in the past now. I see for 7 or 8 EUR sometimes.
Especially the much higher quality and freshness of food in Europe in general.
Compared to a BK or McD’s burger then yeah absolutely. But compared to burgers in general? Much closer call. If you haven’t had a really good cheeseburger, then you’re really missing out.
It’s kind of the same here price wise. But people in the US tend not to care and love the convenience of fast food or are just stuck to a brand. Some of the lines I see at places here are nuts.
Man, I miss doner kababs so much. I haven’t quite found anything similar back stateside.
