Since I can't beat mcdonald's here I pivot and go super different. Kizami nori, make sure no sugar added or it will taste bad and sweet. Pulse in food processor a couple of times. Dump fries from fryer into colander, big pinch of the crushed seaweed, heavy hand of Tony Chacheres creole spice mix, toss to evenly distribute, dump on plate. Unwrap burger and put on plate. If you like dipping fries use whatever in a ramekin and put on plate. Tall glass of strong half sweet tea. For <$5 you've got two burgers, large fries, and a drink. I don't like most sweet stuff so I can't help with desserts. I do like peaches or cantaloupe when they're in season.
This is food prep done right. Everything raw and unassembled but keeps long for minimum grocery store trips and like 20 minutes total time to make. Scales insanely well up to three people with no increase in time required. Add five minutes for every six additional burgers. It's fine if burgers sit in the hot oven for up to 45 minutes. A one gallon oil capacity fryer is sufficient to make about five or six servings at a time. I don't have that many friends so it's more than sufficient.
