I went on a local fast food tour. I wanted to understand what exactly you get for your money and to compare the taste and look of popular items against their competitors. I went to the top three burger joints in town, which are also the top food chains in the US. I went to the counter at each place and ordered, "A plain hamburger and small fries."
McDonalds - There is more bun than burger. There is one pickle and tiny diced onions along with ketchup and mustard.
Burger King - The juicy and charcoal taste stands out with this burger. There are two pickles, no onions, ketchup, and a decent sized burger to go with the sesame seed bun.
Wendy's - This square shaped burger is thin but flavorful. There are two pickles, one onion ring, ketchup and mustard.
It was hard to resist eating a fry or two during this project. My counts are based on all fries, including the tiniest bits.

At the most expensive, Burger King was my best choice for both the hamburger and the fries. It would be well worth it in the future, now knowing these are my favorites among the rest!
