It takes a little bit of a stretch but it's not impossible.
I live in San Diego. I am referring specifically to the McDonald's location on Park Blvd near City College.
I am also choosing a large combo on purpose because I am actively trying to hit the number from the post.
It is $17.29 plus tax
There are affluent neighborhoods here where it could probably exceed $18.
Shit, not too long ago one of the kids wanted chicken strips from Popeye's and they were $17. I drove straight on through and the kids did not get chicken strips.
At the same time, I fully expect the price for a 12 oz New York strip at a nearby Texas Roadhouse to be much higher than $19.
EDIT: If it is any indication of anything, I looked up the prices for the Texas Roadhouse in El Cajon and, according to prices on a menu shared on Yelp, the 8 oz New York strip (that comes with two sides) is $19.99. I didn't see a 12 oz New York strip, but a 12 oz ribeye (and two sides) is $24.49. These meals do not include a drink nor the tip.
What kills me about the original post is that your post already makes a point that the Texas Roadhouse food is a way better deal than McDonald's without any of the rage bait fluff
