FU Burger King

[OTD]

So you gys are saying I should avoid Carl's Jr. nexty week when I'm in Cali? And yes, I will be doing an In-N-Out Burger run.

Tommy's.

Trust me on this.

The best burger on Earth.

I say In-n-Out is better, but it's damn close.

Just don't wear white when you go to Tommy's.

And remember, if you don't see the Shack on the Sack, take it back!

You're getting awfully lecturey, Mr. Healthy.

Well, it's true, isn't it? Even two years ago, it was probably cheaper and CERTAINLY healthier to eat "fast food" at home. And it's surely cheaper now.

I buy a couple four-packs of Perdue chicken patties (on sale this week at Waldbaum's and other A&P stores!) and put them in the freezer. When I want to eat crap, I toast a couple patties as well as a serving of fries (17 fries, give or take a few...ok, give a few) and eat it with an iced tea as my drink. That dinner is high on sodium (not sure of the exact count), but under 800 calories (250 or so for the patties, I think, and 120 for the fries). I don't eat that every day...once a week, tops. But I still haven't learned to like veggies and other textbook healthy foods, so this meal satiates my hunger without clogging my arteries.

I've eaten fast food twice in six months...both times I ordered the 99 cent Wendy's chicken sandwiches w/nothing on them and nothing w/them. I understand, of course, that sometimes you're on the road and you want to eat w/o blowing $20 at a restaurant. But other than that, not eating fast food is as smart a financial choice as it is a healthy one.

-lecture over-

Hey beej, how does that diet affect your vaginal health? Do you find that you get a lot of yeast infections?

Hey asshole didn't you hear? This is a new era at SJ. You have to stay on topic and be nice to people.

So **** you, Mr. Less Manly Than Bedard.

Exactly where are BKs popular? Within a few miles of my house are several buildings that appear to have once been BKs but are now other restaurants, banks, dry cleaners, whatever.

In the town where I went to college, Burger Kings have come and gone three times in 15 years. Twice they were located adjacent to the Greek Row bars and were open until 3 or 4 in the morning; still, they couldn't survive. Yes, Burger King sucks that bad (Croissanwich excepted).

The Whopper rawks. The rest of the menu? Meh

Since when? I did not get this memo.

And your mom is more manly than Bedard.

 

[BYH]

You didn't get the memo? Oh yeah this is anything goes. Threadjacks and personal insults are allowed. Or perhaps not allowed. It's a very fluid situation, one we must monitor 24/7/366.

Carry on, Nancy.

 

[dooley_womack1]

I will mail you your itinerary.

 

[BYH]

Don't bother. It'll be as outdated as the newspaper by the time it gets here.

So once, someone wrote an editorial to my college's paper about how at the only BK in town, they witnessed an employee drop a box of chicken fingers on the ground. The employee picked the box up, put the fingers back in the box and put it back on the shelf to be distributed.

Needless to say, that BK suffered for awhile because no one who read that article would even go NEAR it.

And that being said, Whataburger kicks BK's ass. The only fast food burgers that come even close to Whataburger outside of Texas were served at this family-run joint in my college's town. Best effing burgers ever.

That's nothing. I remember a story in our paper about cockroaches at the nearest Chinese place.

I once had to WRITE the story about cockroaches in the Thai food place in the mall.

I think the reason behind the price of the Whopper and other big burgers going up is to subsidize the $1 menus at the big three: McD's, Wendy's and Burger King.

It's amazing the amount of fat you can ingest for $1 nowadays. It's no wonder our poor and impoverished are overweight.

I was thinking about that the other day. My wife's best friend and her husband came down for a wedding over the weekend. They're about as poor as functional people can be, but every time I see them, they're eating fast food. Last time we were up there, we ate at Ruby Tuesday, which should give out heart attack cards (after six, your meal is free!). And they ate McDonald's on the way down here, even though we told them we'd have lunch for them.

I had to go to Wal-Mart for something a couple days ago and I observed the stuff that's for sale right as you walk in. Some decent stuff (Sunny D or some knockoff as well as mini-bagels) but also the worst of the worst ****: Third-rate wafers and Oreo cookies, all really cheap. Hideous. That's the LAST **** anyone who is poor and impoverished should consume, but it's right there for an impulse buy.

I'm a conspiracy theorist of the highest order, and I am convinced Wal-Mart exists to keep poor and fat people poor and fat.

Jesus H. ****ing Christ, that looks like something that would do me for two days. I loves me some beefsteak tomato too.

I'd say up here, BK runs a distant third, in locations, to McD's, Wendy's and Canuck stalwart Harvey's.

I remember in the 70s BK wasn't in Canada so the only time you could ever have it was on a family trip to Florida or something. Once it came up here nobody gave a ****.

And how can anyone hate ketchup? That's ****ed.

Hey, the world needs ditch-diggers too.
