THEY USED TO HAVE McDONALDS?!? I've only been attending since '05, so have only known Zaug's.

Getting rid of Mcdonalds is positive move! Mcdonalds is nasty!

I'll admit to giving in to a guilty pleasure and having a Big Mac once a year(maybe) but please NO Macdonalds anywhere on site. That stuff is NOT within the category of food!
All things being equal (and they never are) I would probably choose not to eat at McD's at AirVenture and go for something with a more home made or local flair (think the Sacred Heart Parish stand outside of the main gate.)
But, if it were a case of paying as much for a single hot dog through Zaug's as you can for an entire meal at McD, well my bank account (and my wife, the household accountant) will probably opt for the latter.
I wouldn't kiss a pig either but people do. I found this below funny.

I for one will not miss Zaug's. I always thought I'd have a stroke after a few days eating all that fried food. I remember complaining to one fellow California pilot about Zaug's, and he said "they would fry a salad if they could."
Zaugs (and any other service) is likely constrained by speed of service needs. Serving 75,000 people lunch in a two hour window generally means they are batch cooking food, keeping it warm, and selling the same basic 2-3 meals to everyone who walks up. Unless you're willing to pay twice the price and/or wait forever, fresh food and food customization (ala Subway) are probably not gonna happen at an event like Airventure.
I buy a jar of peanut butter and a loaf of bread and eat lunch all week for ~$10 without eating fried food or standing in line. That way, I don't feel as much guilt when I have Brats and beer for dinner at SOS Brothers every night.
