Burgers taste like steam and cardboard

I have to agree with you 100%. McDonalds keeps wondering why it is loosing its adult clientele. Well as an adult that has consumed McDonalds food for more than 35 years I can tell you why I don't eat it any more. Ever since they started using microwave ovens and stopped cooking the burgers on the spot the taste is terrible. If they got rid of the Microwave Ovens and started cooking good tasting food again I would go back. I donÆt care how good the quality of the product is, hamburgers just don't taste very good after they have been stored in a steamer then Microwaved. I have tried the new products and they are a good idea, but have the same problem. When you put a burger in a Microwave it comes out tasting like steam and cardboard..

I think McDonalds should take a lesson form In and Out Burger in southern California. People will wait in line 20 to 30 min because they make a very good tasting burger. It is not fancy or gimmicky it just tastes good like the old fried McDonnalds ones.

PS the above also applies to Burger King.
