I think such a preference is more likely to result from an inadequate sample of fancy food (because some upscale places aren’t at all good enough to justify their cost) and/or sour grapes about its expense, but perhaps some people are well-sampled and find fancy food financially accessible and still don’t think it’s an improvement over McDonald’s. These people, I contend, do not have tastebuds. McDonald’s can ruin chicken fingers.
(For what it’s worth, I virtually never go out to eat at all (on my own dime): when I do, I make a point of getting mostly things that I don’t know how to cook myself, such as sushi.)
Y’know, I plain can’t eat McDonalds myself. But I also can’t tell the difference between low-quality and high-quality chocolate, and my girlfriend can, and she thinks McDonalds is one of the culinary wonders of the world.
I contend that it was because they were working outside their milieu. Chicken McNuggets are already perfect, and so one must feel a tearing at one’s soul to work for McDonalds and invent another chicken dish.

It takes all sorts.
