That is the key to McDonald's success, their goal is consistant food. That is
the Big Mac you buy in San Francisco, is the same as the one in Plymouth,
Mass, Paris or Moscow. It does not matter where you get it it will be the
same. As to the question of "worst", I have had the misfortune to eat burgers
much worse then McDonald's and burgers a lot better, mainly in small
dinners and resturants. Otften when I ordered I did not know which I was
going to get.

As to inovative and tasty American foods what about?

Fried Chicken
Corn on the Cob
The Ice Cream Cone
Coca-Cola
Bar-B-Que
Grilled Steak
The Hot Dog
