I think we should translate all the fast food place names to the local language :3 this will help nobody or serve any purpose

In Quebec too, around here we pronounce it more like Mecdoh, but same-same.

It'd be "Donken" in Sweden.

I've traveled the world and can highly recommend the Giardino degli Ulivi in downtown Tuscany. Best grissini I've ever had.

You joke, but I had a bunch of (northern) Italians recommend Pizza Hut to me. To be entirely fair, it was in Germany and it’s better there than in the USA, but it’s still not good pizza.

Family owned pizza parlor in NYC's most Italian borough. Wins awards on a regular basis.

I'd say it depends on the restaurant tbh :3 some I think sound nicer in my native language, but some are airing really close to unfortunate naming
