Europeans should give us something in return.

McDonald's is a gift?

They took it and made it better. Turns out actual food tastes better than pink slime.

Dirty Santa.

France took it pretty seriously, though.

Sometimes it is.

Also, a taco and a large beer for 1 Euro? Yes please!

all of those look better than any fast food offering here. I imagine none of them would do well here as they’d probably be “expensive” with smaller portions. Because what’s considered good here is not based on quality, it’s quantity. Sad.

I don’t 100% agree with the Mashed video but a true fish & chip chain and a cornish pasty chain (or I guess just pasty chain since the shops wouldn’t be in Cornwall) would be awesome. More currywurst stands would be excellent as well, along with a tolerance for drinking in public. North America in general really fucked up with the public drinking laws - there’s a big difference between being drunk and disorderly in public and minding my own business while I enjoy a few beers in a public park.

That said, rather than introducing new chains, I think it’d be better if we improved some of our businesses here to the same level at which they operate in Asia. For example: Asian convenience stores. I’d love to be able to buy a wide variety of edible, tasty meals from convenience stores instead of what we have in Canada (which tends to be poor looking pre-made sandwiches and those roller hot dogs).

Asian fast food chains just tend to be better quality in terms of how its cooked and how it tastes, whether they’re originally American chains (like McDonalds and especially Burger King ) or they’re home-grown (Korean/Japanese chain bakeries are quite surprising in the quality of goods they make, way better than “French” bakeries in my city) .

Besides, Europeans kind of gave us most of what we enjoy here already: Italian, French, German, Spanish, Greek, etc, are not uncommon foods here.

I’d be more than happy to give McD and KFC (never eaten there) back to you. An d while we’re at it, you can have Burgerking and Subway back as well. As long as it means something half decent  will come in its place.

I’ve heard Chick-fil-A wants to expand overseas. The food’s good but kinda calorie extensive and the owners are sexist and homophobic.

Taco Bell is one of my favorite fast food joints, and I don’t care what anyone says. They are currently expanding and this map shows they are gonna invade Europe through the outer edges of the continent.

Olive Garden seems to be surging, as millennials who stopped eating at TGI Fridays or Red Lobster, eat at Olive Garden now , so they may use that newfound succes to expand.

In-N-Out is kinda good. Chipotle’s really good, but its only European locations are Germany and the UK.

Who here would eat at Olive Garden if there are ( at least in Germany) real Mediterranian restaurants in every corner.

Make it somehow hip. See: Starbucks. Overpriced and shitty coffee, still doing great.

Free shit? As fellow millennials would put it. I don’t know, seriously speaking. Decent food at better prices? Less fuss than in an authentic restaurant? Better hours?

We do need automats back, I have vague memories of going to a Horn & Hardart as a very young kid (before the name was reused as an ordinary coffee shop) , but all my older relatives get crazy nostalgic about them.

Also, I know Kono Pizza is technically  here now, but we need a lot more of them.

That’s also true of large parts of the United States, yet Olive Garden somehow survives here, too. They had one in Center City, Philadelphia that was open for years.

DUDE! I love pasties. We had a wonderful Pasty restaurant in my town for a couple years. They closed sadly which I never understand because I easily paid half their rent XD. The place was always packed and the food was amazing. Still salty they are gone.

I’m sorry, we have nothing halfway decent to provide in their places, so you’ll have to stick with those. (no backsies!)
