Big Mac

I had to run a few errands today and was listening to the local news station for updates on the snow storm headed our way

In between the weather reports, I heard a report about a fast food restaurant ban near DC. Prince Georges County Maryland, if I heard it right

They are not planning to shut down existing burger and taco joints, but to stop issuing the required building permits needed to build additional stores.

Their reasoning was to help end the obesity problems, and to control trans fat, and a bunch of other worthless none sense

They also reported that other " sit down " restaurants would not be included in the ban, as the members of this highly educated panel said that these " sit downs " were much more healthy than the dollar menu's we are used to today.

The first thing this report made me want to do was grab a Big Mac.

What happened to choice ? Why is it that we cant decide for ourselves what we want to eat ?

I will support my Big Mac, and the occasional Whopper with cheese.

I will continue to praise the dollar menu.

Sometimes we just don't have the time, or the cash to sit back at the Olive Garden, or the Red Lobster.

I do enjoy those places, but sometimes you need a drive-thru

Cheeseburger in paridise

I am a fan of burgers. I can honestly say I have never had a bad on, although some were way better than others. Fried, grilled, broiled, or any other way, I love them. We were out doing some errends yesterday and I had remembered the ad for the BK steakhouse burger, so when we passed a BK on the way home, I hit the drive thru. The key, I think, to getting quality at a fast food place is to stop in during the off peak times because the food is not rushed to be assembled and thrown out the window to you. I pulled off to the side and unwrapped my sandwich and the first thing I noticed was how big it was. It was very impressive. It had some kind of steak sauce on it, lettuce and tomato, and those fried onions that come in a can. It was great. I think it is one of the better burger ideas that BK has come up with in a while. I paired it with some sweet tea and some onion rings, and then made sure I had the number to my cardologist on speed dial. This burger is really worh a try so don't miss out. untill next time, I'll have the........
