• I’ve added a casual chat room to CookingBites as a place for off-topic banter, light conversation, and short-lived chit-chat that doesn’t belong in forum threads. The chat room is informal and lightly-to-not moderated, with messages being temporary, so it’s ideal for friendly back-and-forth that would otherwise derail discussions. Site rules still apply, but there’s no reporting system or expectation of post-by-post moderation - if something becomes uncomfortable, the right response is to step away. If a topic has substance or lasting value, it still belongs in the forums; everything else can head to chat.

What made you smile recently (2026)?

Regarding the new McD’s look, I was just in one a few weeks ago, brand new location, and it really was grim. Very much a dystopian look.

Very short counter with one register (no worker present), two ordering kiosks, a bench on one side, two small tables, and a shelving area for DoorDash pickup.

The lighting was that really uncomfortable 1970’s fluorescent stuff, but the weirdest thing was the lack of people. I was the only customer. No visible workers. I ordered and paid at the kiosk, put my number down on the table, went to use the restroom, and there was my food. I never saw another human the entire time I was there. Very surreal.

I ate without drinking anything because I usually ask for a cup of water from the counter, but no one was there and it wasn’t open to the kitchen area.
