The new Cheese Burger Melt for a limited time. This will probably bomb like when Micky D offered pizza by the slice. Get ready to get out and get these kids.

I legitimately mean I don’t know what changes have been made over the years. From fresh to frozen is the first concrete thing I’ve seen written. [Reply]

Bud, any time you go from fresh local ingredients to pre packaged frozen you suffer a HUGE quality drop on food. That's what happened at all these chains. Simple as that. There is no mystery. [Reply]

The winner was Bullseye which I have had years and years ago and didn't care for. Kraft is horrendous and Stubbs is a watery mess. I think people judge this by what they get in a plastic package in a fast-food place.
Bullseye is Kraft's "upscale" brand. I like Aldi's KC style bbq sauce. Not always in stock, though. [Reply]

No, it's not. Chains use cheap ingredients and cheap sauce. A family-owned type place will use better ingredients, have homemade sauce and fresher toppings but it will cost more. [Reply]

Things like the recession and COVID marked some pretty big declines as well. Cheaper and lower quality ingredients for higher profits. Granted, that's literally every chain ever. [Reply]
I used to get Aldi's Carolina style bbq sauce for pulled pork but have found a better substitute. It's less sweet which I find better for PP but not enough spicy mustard zip so I went elsewhere. [Reply]
