if a place is popular it usually means they are doing something right..people will not keep returning to an establishment especially one that isn't cheap if the food is horrible..mcdonald's makes money because they are cheap to eat at and you get your food fast, hence fast food moniker..but you also are eating high calorie food there that's not that great for you..check out the movie where the guy ate nothing but mcdonald's for a month and gained like 60 pounds..comparing el gaucho to mcdonalds is like comparing my skateboard to my ferrari testarosa..they both can get me around but one is just a little more stylish..
