Seriously?

Is it just me?

Do you consider

McDonalds
Burger King
Pret
Pizza Express


as restaurants?

Personally I thought they were fast food outlets, somewhere you walked in, asked for something that had probably already been cooked 10 minutes ago and then you sat at a plastic table.

Restaurant to me means more proper table with a tablecloth, proper cutlery and someone that comes to your table to take your order and advise you on the choices.

Today I received an invitation to become a SECRET DINER at one of the above restaurants.

Can anyone else smell Spam?

It does seem a contradiction in terms. I just watched an advert for KFC where they talked about their 'trained chefs'. They might be 'trained' to coat the chicken in the seasoning but does this realy make them 'chefs'?

To me Burger King and MacDonalds have always been places where I get the kids something to eat after a long trek around the shops and thats it.

We have the nastiest Pizza Hut's here in San Antonio and I will never step foot in one! Back in the 70's it used to be a restaurant..not now.

Did you know that McDonald's has a Hamburger University and awards degrees in Hamburgerology? Seriously! They take 5 days "intensive training" to attain. Google it!

The only one I'd ever go to is Pizza Express (not Pizza Hut) - as their pizzas are rather nice and you can see them making them from scratch.

Never have done burger places - really don't like them.

I had my first ever McDonalds at the age of 41 a few weeks ago, ok done that and being a class bird prefer the fish and chips from our village chippy :) I agree they are not restaurants.
