I agree on the McD cheeseburger, but my new non-local favorite is Culver’s.

McDonald’s. I don’t go often but numerous items on their menu are pure comfort food for me. Hamburger. Cheeseburger. Filet o fish. Chicken Mcnuggets with barbecue sauce. Sausage and egg McMuffin with hash brown. Cheesy bacon flatbread. Strawberry milkshake. McFlurry. The little soft serve cone. Hot apple pie.

Is this something you grew up with, or how did those food items become comfort food to you?

Yes. McDonald’s was an occasional treat growing up in Kansas City in the 1980s. And now it’s an occasional treat for us in the UK. The food is served up very quickly and the quality control is pretty good so you get a consistent product. And in the UK, the items like a plain hamburger or the Filet o fish are not commonly ordered, so you get one very freshly made to your order, which is nice.

Got it. I remember getting the very occasional Big Mac in my teens.
I actually preferred the cheeseburgers at the American Embassy Club’s casual eatery
