I avoid fast food places like the plague, but if for some reason I do go there I get my burgers plain and put condiments on myself so I get a fresh burger.
My school of thought is that going to McDonald’s for a salad is like going to a hooker for a hug.
In my youth I worked at a Mickey Ds and I can tell you ordering a plain burger is no guarantee that is "fresh". Most likely you'll get a pre-made burger with all the fixings scraped off and maybe a new bun.
I remember ordering a cheeseburger from a Whataburger restaurant in Texas, mustard already added. Fast food places where I live the burgers don’t come with mustard.

I guess there's really no pattern then because Pennstylvania (even Philly) does have default mustard.
I can't stand that when I order a hamburger, I always get asked "did you want cheese on that?" No!!! That's called a cheeseburger. If I wanted cheese, I would have said cheeseburger, not hamburger!!!
I feel your pain. I hate cheese on a burger. They opened a new Culver’s near me recently so I went to try out one of their ‘butter burgers’, not knowing it came with cheese. Luckily it hadn’t melted too much and I was able to scrape it off.
I definitely like chains like Culver’s that ask you what you want on your burger. Sure it slows down the drive thru but in the end it is excellent service. Like in n out they are expanding in new states like Idaho but VERY slowly.
I spent ten years of my life in Columbus GA and I have to admit - when you want a Krystal burger, nothing else will quite do.
My husband just had to try one when we went back for my high school reunion. He was like "BLECH! I can't believe you call this a BURGER!" I said, "See, that's your mistake. You were expecting a burger. It's a KRYSTAL BURGER. Not the same thing at all."
Here in Texas, most places default to mustard, which is surprising to me. I always have to specify "MAYONNAISE." It's not a big deal because I rarely even eat a burger, but when I do if I forget to specify I'm always like "Yuck - mustard." I only want mustard on a Krystal Burger! (Or four.)
This is so funny Kathryn, and I can so relate. Most of my Northern and Western friends feel the same way as your hubby, but we know the deal. I consider Krystals to be the original mini-sliders in a way.
