    My local burger chain has cheeseburgers for $3.50 and fries for $2.00. They are bigger and taste way better than McDonald’s, and it’s real food that doesn’t destroy my stomach. They also have breakfast burgers and a big serving of breakfast potatoes for $2 each. Why would I ever go to McDonalds
