McDonald's Restaurants by Magnitude of Mountain Backdrop / Rut

by u/Gigitoe

Eating a Big Mac® while gazing at Big Mountains is an experience that millions of Americans can relate to. But little do we ask ourselves, which McDonald's restaurants have the biggest, baddest mountain backdrop?

So I set out to answer this question, using rut, a topographic metric that does particularly well at identifying cities with badass mountain backdrops. (For more info, check out this Mercury News article by John Metcalfe, or my research paper)

Roughly speaking, this is how rut works:

The higher the mountains rise above a restaurant, the more impressive they appear, and the greater the rut.

The more steeply the mountains rise above a restaurant, the more impressive they appear, and the greater the rut.

Here's a tier list that shows the rut of the ruttiest McDonald's restaurant in various cities. The cutoffs are rather arbitrary, so please don't poison me with a Grimace Shake if your city doesn't get the tier you like :)

S tier - rut > 400 m (i'm lovin' it. would visit just for mountain views)

Palm Springs, CA (647 m) | Weed, CA (624 m) | Springville, UT (609 m) | Lone Pine, CA (521 m) | Rancho Cucamonga, CA (503 m) | Kailua Kona, HI (432 m) | Salt Lake City, UT (404 m)

A tier - rut between 200 to 400 m (impressive, but probably wouldn't visit just for mountain views)

Colorado Springs, CO (383 m) | Gatlinburg, TN (273 m) | Tacoma, WA (267 m) | Tucson, AZ (246 m) | Juneau, AK (223 m) | Tucson, AZ (209 m) | Albuquerque, NM (215 m) | Las Vegas, NV (209 m)

B tier - rut between 100 and 200 m (mountains nearby, or distant big mountains, or very distant huge mountains)

Anchorage, AK (192 m) | Seattle, WA (185 m) | Manchester, VT (166 m) | El Paso, TX (160 m) | Los Angeles, CA (153 m) | Portland, OR (144 m) | Denver, CO (126 m) | Boise, ID (106 m)

C tier - rut between 50 and 100 m (big hills nearby, or distant mountains, or very distant big mountains)

Rutland, VT (99 m) | San Diego, CA (84 m) | Asheville, NC (75 m) | Middlesboro, KY (70 m) | Phoenix, AZ (67 m) | Roanoke, VA (46 m)

D tier - rut between 25 and 50 m (hills nearby, or distant big hills, or very distant mountains)

Billings, MT (40 m) | Rapid City, SD (37 m) | Dalton, GA (38 m) | Hot Springs, AR (37 m) | Pittsburgh, PA (33 m) | San Francisco, CA (30 m) | Portsmouth, OH (26 m) | Greenville, SC (26 m) | Huntsville, AL (25 m)

E tier - rut between 10 and 25 m (small hills nearby, or hills in the distance, or very distant big hills)

Syracuse, NY (21 m) | Concord, NH (20 m) | Duluth, MN (20 m) | New Haven, CT (14 m) | Cincinnati, OH (13 m) | Wausau, WI (13 m) | Portland, ME (10 m)

F tier - rut between 0 and 10 m (flatter than a patty)

Nashville, TN (8.5 m) | New York City (4.3 m) | Kansas City (2.8 m) | Miami, FL (1.7 m) | Houston (1.6 m), TX | Chicago, IL (0.6 m)

For more locations, here's a spreadsheet with the rut of every McDonald's on this map.

----------------

Note: a rut of X doesn't mean the surrounding mountains rise a height of X above the restaurant. Instead, a rut of X means that a restaurant's mountain backdrop is as impressive as a restaurant at the base of a vertical cliff of height X. The less steeply the surrounding mountains rise above the restaurant, the lower the rut.

Also note: rut only considers rise above surroundings (relative height differences and angle of elevation). it does not consider absolute elevation, nor the "aesthetics" of a mountain, nor visibility (or lack thereof) due to weather or smog.

Attributions: Gavin Rehkemper (locations), FABDEM (elevation model), Google Earth Engine (calculations), ESRI (basemap), Kai Xu (rut metric and map)

If you like rut, you'll probably like its older brother jut even more. Jut measures how impressive, spectacular, or badass a mountain is—considering both its height above surroundings and steepness. If you want to find the most impressive mountains near you or worldwide, you may find the link above to be useful.

Let us know if you have any questions or comments—I'm happy to address them!

This was a very unique and stressful show for the cast as they were down a worker and had everyone in the company on in the show. the show started almost 25 minutes late as they had to rehearse and change choreo. The lights hit in wait for me and the choreo change is quite fun to see and it's unique!

Just Keep Baking #6 Grape Pie

Sul Sul, Gerbits. Today we are going to be making a recipe that is a little bit different from the ones that we have been making. We are going to be making a Grape Pie. 

Daphne and I were given a lot of grapes. So I was trying to figure out what types of recipes I could make. And I came across a recipe for Grape Pie. And it looked really interesting. I however, was not given concord grapes, we were given purple table grapes. So the texture is going to be different. 

Before we get started on the recipe, I want to tell you a little bit about the history of Grape Pie. Grape Pie originated in the Finger Lakes region of New York. This is because there are a lot of wineries around. However, don’t expect to find a Grape Pie in every small town, because they are not always made. 

The recipe will be down in the description down below. 

Making your pie crust is the first step. Feel free to skip this step if you prefer frozen pie crust.

For both pie crust you will need:

flour

salt

butter

Cold water

In a medium sized bowl, mix together the flour and salt.

The recipe calls for shortening, and I thought I could use butter. I shouldn’t have done that. The flavor of the pie crust was extremely different. And not really to Daphne or mine’s taste.

You are going to cut in the butter or shortening using a pastry blender. 

Now sprinkle the dough with 1 tablespoon, at a time. 

Gather the pastry into a ball.

Divide it in half, or fourths. Depending on how many pies you are making. 

Wrap the rounds in plastic wrap and place it in the freezer for about 20 minutes. 

Because I had a bunch of grapes I decided to do this pie in two different ways; one grape jam, and one grape Jelly. And I wanted to see which one was going to be better for the type of table grapes I was using. 

For both recipes I used the amount listed in the recipe. It calls for: 4 cups of grapes, ⅔ cup of sugar, 3 Tablespoons of cornstarch, a teaspoon of lemon juice. And a double layer of pie crust. 

For the jam recipe, I blended the 4 cups of grapes. And then added the sugar, cornstarch and lemon juice. 

For the Jelly recipe, I cut the grapes in half, and boiled them. And added the sugar, cornstarch and lemon juice. 

I rolled out two of the pie crusts and placed it in the pie pan. Poured the pie filling into the crust. And I tried to do a lattice top, but alas it failed. 

For pie baking, I usually place a baking sheet under it, in case the filling spills over. Because the idea of cleaning pie filling from the bottom of the oven, is not a very pleasant idea. 

Bake them in the oven for 45 minutes or until the filling is bubbly in the middle and the crust is golden brown. 

This experiment was very interesting to do. Because I didn’t realize the difference between jam and jelly. And Daphne told me that the jelly recipe was actually better than the jam version. 

This is such an easy recipe. And it really tastes good with some vanilla yogurt or vanilla ice cream. I hope that you liked this recipe. Vadish, Dag Dag.

Observations:

Divided versus United clan flags of the Great Beasts

Sea of Spaghetti vs Sea of Pasta

Butter Lake seems bigger, but that may simply be a difference of scale

Comida vs Concord banners

Pre-war Candia looks even tinier as a nation

EDIT: Also! The Cardoon vs Cabbage banners over Greenhold!
