Have you ever wondered if McDonalds would be the same by any other name? The answer is... wait for it... YES!!! They have a fabulous chain of fast food restaurants (about 3 or 4) that is almost identical to McDonals. It is called, simply, Big Burger. It's menu is a scaled down version of Mickey D's, and the decor looks like the Golden Arches about 15 years ago. The Big Mac is called the Big Burger (but uses mayo, rather than "secret sauce"). The burgers and the fries even taste the same. There are benefits to not being McDonalds though. Big Burger offers chicken wings, ramen noodles, and egg and shrimp soups. Food costs a lot less, and things only come in two sizes: small and big. So it turns out that McDonalds is only McDonalds because they can charge an arm and a leg.
P.S. my Big Mac meal cost less than $4.

Just got back to Canada from Mongolia where we built some homes for Habitat for Humanity. Big Burger was something we had to try while in UB... Don't know if you tried the apple pie... it was horrible. :)
