    Does anyone remember when Burger King attempted to have table service? I'm sure it was test market thing, but it was completely ridiculous. They would give you these dinner baskets and everyone, from the employees to the customers, were completely confused as to what was going on.

    At the risk of being looked at as a fat, unclutured American (well, I'm not fat at least), I ate at a McDonalds in London years ago, but only because they had some sort of McCurry Burger and I HAD to try it to find out what it was like.

    @BitchyD: It wasn't bad, actually. Maybe I was influenced by the fact I was eating a McDonald's hamburger with curry on it while hanging out in Notting Hill, but I thought it was not too spicy; you definitely got a warm curry flavor but it was mostly from this sauce they put on it and not some flavoring in the meat. But not bad.

    I walked by this place and was slightly in awe at how civilized it looked until I realized no one was actually eating. They were only sitting around. The fancy part was only in the front of the restaurant, once you entered and passed a wall it was your typical sterile, hard plastic and grease stains Mickey D.

    @Rozelle’s Bagman: Am I the only person who was disappointed by In 'n Out? I mean, all that hype! So on a west coast trip, I went to one and ordered a double-double animal style. It was a tasty fast food burger, but no more than that, and certainly less than transporting. Shake Shack beats it handily. #obits

    At about the same time people started eating more at fast food chains (due to the calorie charts, according to researchers), the economy also tanked. So I'm thinking those calorie charts are more powerful than we realize, if they can bring down the economy like that. Scary stuff.

    I don't know what we expect when people (Oprah) give away free fried chicken. Fried chicken is proven to be the fall of man. I bet if you introduced a Tibetan monk to Kentucky Fried Chicken...the vow of silence and celibacy...gone. Dunzo. Hell, you throw in biscuits, gravy, cole-slaw, and macaroni & cheese and it's really just suicide. Hara-kiri. Seriously. Forget Iranian nukes, just lob copious amounts of salty chicken flesh into our airspace and that'll be it. We'll slide off into the burning hot ocean, but it'll be worth it, right? Right.
