While we aren’t even a fan of Burger King, we certainly am tempted to try out a fast food sandwich called the Patagonia Grill.
It sounds as though it’s made with the human flesh of an indigenous people and grilled to perfection. YUM!

McDonald’s Awkward Salute To Black History
With February being Black History Month, McDonald’s has decided to honor the faces of black history with paper tray liners containing 17 faces of people who, as far as we can tell, have nothing to do with the history of black people.
In fact, the liner actually has the faces of black people who work in the local New York City media (we wonder if they have a different liner for different cities). It has the familiar faces of newscasters Janice Huff, Sade Baderinwa, and Craig Treadway, as well as several behind the scenes folks like a cameraman, a writer, and radio personality / recent prisoner Funkmaster Flex.
While these people are, for the most, positive role models, where are the actual faces of black history?
Didn’t the people at McDonald’s hear of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks, Frederick Douglass, William Edward Burghardt Du Bois, and the Amistad survivors? Surely someone at McDonald’s had to have heard of them before they decided to pander to the masses with this, right?
The McRib
Up until last week, we had only heard the rumors to the legend of the McRib. And now, due to unfortunate geographical circumstances of lunch locations, our belly has been lucky enough to have had three of these delicious cups of tea in it.
We’ve seen the light. Yes, the McRib is it! The rumors about the deliciousness of the McRib are all true.
In our humble opinions, the McRib is a tasty, boneless, likely cholesterol time bomb, and would most likely have been entombed in golden urns with the Pharaohs of ancient Egypt — for nourishment in the eternal afterlife — had it been invented a several millennia ago .
Manhattan’s McDonald’s Drive Thru
We’ve known that the monster exists but never wanted to believe that it really was out there somewhere.
Yet seeing a billboard for a McDonald’s drive thru in Manhattan is a beast.
Nothing can prepare you for it, but it is a sign none the less than Manhattan truly isn’t a walkers paradise — the almighty drive thru window of McDonald’s reigns supreme.
Wendy’s Bacon Blue Burger
Long time readers might remember the fast food burger tour that we went on back in 2008 that had us eating 3,080 calories worth of burgers from McDonald’s, Wendy’s and Burger King. Or, perhaps our trip to Five Guys Burgers and Fries that occured last spring.
Well, we made our third trip to fast food restaurants in three years this past week when we stepped into a Wendy’s and ate ourselves a Bacon Blue burger.
One word: DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELICIOUS!!!!
While we couldn’t find the calorie count of the Bacon Blue listed anywhere at the Wendy’s that we visited as required by law in NYC, a google search reveals that the Bacon Blue is likely 680 calories, 360 of which is from fat — heart attack. YUM!!!
One big slab of fast food beef, lettuce, tomatoes, blue cheese and BACON, we were left amazed by the delicious joy that was the Bacon Blue. That said, the thing felt as though it was loaded with salt and we had to drink lots more water than our usual intake.
So, should you find yourself in the mood to try something new that we assume is probably bad for you to eat on a daily basis…we recommend you eat a Bacon Blue from Wendy’s.
