So you are saying MacDonalds is the best meal in the world...

Ugh, he said:

"Quantitative art" must never be taken beyond its numeric side: it is a measure of scope, of popularity, of awareness, but not of any trait which indicates quality.

Precisely.  Meaning that, while it is far from the "best" meal in the world, the McDonalds hamburger is easily one of the most recognized and culturally influential meal in the world.  Both of those traits are quantitative: recognition and cultural influence are measurable attributes, as long as you're patient enough to go to the trouble of measuring them.  You can say "McDonalds" to just about anybody and they'll know exactly what you're talking about, quite likely because they'll have actually eaten at McDonalds at some point.
