Confession

(aghem) All right...  I know in today's foodie world (especially here in NY), it's credibility assasination to even mention McD's or Burger King in one's food blog. 
Especially on a blog that prides themselves on knowing quality "good food". 
But I gotta say, now and again, an occasional Whopper really hits the spot. 
Seriously!!!
 
schpeel:
1) I know that the meat is poorly raised beef and the processing plant can't be any better. 
2) The lettuce, tomatoes and onions on the burger are probably genetically engineered. 
3) The fries are dipped in sugar before being fried to (a) create more crisp, and (b) sugar has addictive properties and will increase sales equalling more profit for the company. 
4) And finally, the person assembling my burger is probably only making minimum wage and has a small chance of ever breaking out of their current socio-economic situation. 
 
There, 4 horrible reasons why we should boycott these establishments...
But the bottom line is...
It's fast, full of flavor and fills your tummy. 
What can I say???  Convenience WINS!
