Until recently, few people outside of Ireland had heard of Supermac's, the upstart burger chain which beat McDonald's in a legal trademark battle.
But, being Irish, I grew up with both chains — and can say that Supermac's is, hands-down, the better of the two.
The restaurant's battle hinged on whether the name Supermac's was too similar to McDonald's flagship Big Mac burger. McDonald's had used the similarity as a reason to prevent Supermac's expanding into more markets, but was overruled by European Union officials.
Supermac's is tiny in comparison to McDonald's — but should still be worried about its newly-empowered contender. Here's why.
The first way that Supermac's has McDonald's beat is the fries. The menu has 5 different varieties that include chili, cheese, and curry sauce.
You can also get taco fries.
The fries are also thicker and taste more like actual potatoes.
McDonald's regular fries do not compare well.
