McDonald's will never replace Wimpy in my heart

I remember eating at The Great American Disaster, in London, in 1973, when I lived in the West End.

It was my favorite restaurant.

Wimpy’s was … wimpy.

I don’t remember McDonald’s at all. The first one I saw, was in the US.

It reminds me of supermacs in Ireland. People love it there but I never did. Their burgers are clammy, bread that falls apart (like burger king's). And dried out pizza slices (under a heat lamp too long) from their subsidiary Papa Joe's.

I've never had a nice meal there. I did eat there sometimes after drinking because they stayed open longer than Mc Donalds. But even drunk I would be disappointed with the food.

I remember Wimpy from my school days. I have never, and probably will never, eat anything as monstrous as Wimpy's Bender in a bun with cheese.

For anyone nostalgic there is still a Wimpy's burger in Wodonga (Victoria, Australia), I was driving through there last week, and was amazed to see it. It was a good burger and very cheap ($8AUD)

"I will gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today."

There are still a couple of locations around the UK: https://location.wimpy.uk.com/

It's also going strong in South Africa: https://locations.wimpy.co.za/
