Quite a few years ago, standing in line at one of the fast food restaurants (doesn't matter which one - they're all the same) and looking over the menu board It suddenly struck me that I was about to spend (then) six dollars and some odd change for a soggy hamburger that resembles boiled cardboard. For that same $6 I could go next door to the grocery store and buy a rib-eye steak, take it home and cook it up in about ten to fifteen minutes. I haven't been to a fast food restaurant in 20 some years.

Having worked in an authentic French restaurant as a kid that was owned by a French man who graduated from some (I couldn't tell you which) culinary school in Paris, a "French(ed) Potato" is cut the same way but it is sauteed in butter until soft. The deep fried potato, like pizza, is strictly an American invention. A true potato cooked "in the French manner" is NOT what we get from fast food restaurants.

[@FenceThis]

[@JTGwin10]

My dad worked at KFC for something like 30 yrs. Started as a cook and by the time he left he was one of the VP's I think, a top executive whatever his title was at the very height of KFC's success. If I'm not mistaken McDonqlds was #1, Burger King was #2 and KFC #3 as far as fast food was concerned during my father's time. He used to tell us stories about colonel sanders. My dad had dinner with him at his home on numerous occasions and always spoke highly of him. The thing about him that made him successful, one of them, was his stubbornness with his own high standards. The Colonel is widely credited with inventing franchising as you alluded to. "Thoughty 2 Diner, now serving kentucky fried chicken" is typical of what a diners sign might say. The Colonel was known to show up on say, a Saturday night, the busiest night of the week when a diner was packed, and if they weren't meticulously following his standards , serving quality chicken as well as keeping his equipment clean, he would rip out the equipment, pack it in his car, and in the middle of their dinner rush, terminate his partnership with said diner. I asked him recently what he thought the Colonel would think about KFC's current marketing campaign in which "the Colonel" is depicted sort of as KFC's ronald mcdonald. His reply, "of it helped sell more chicken he'd be all for it." I don't know why I felt the need to share that, the video just brought back memories as throughout the 80's and 90's our family was heavily involved in the race to catch McDonald's or the "burger wars". More than just spectating one of its battle hardened generals came home for dinner every night at our house.

[@indridcold8433]

When working a food chain called, "Fast Patty's," in Saskatchewan, Canada, the dark secrets of fast food made it where I have not eaten fast food since I resigned after working there one decade. The hamburger patties were kept in a heated drawer tray of sorts to maintain the temperature. Many times, some of the hamburger patties were not sold before they became a dehydrated, black, wood-like, substance that seemed to defy human consumption and several health laws. But we, the lowly employees, were told not to throw the strange wood-like substance, marinating in heavy grease, away. We were told to rinse off the strange black wafers and cut them up with a spatula. Then we were to dip the strange grounds in a deep fry vat, inside a strainer, and take it out. We then mixed the wierd lavarock-like substance into the chili. Needless to say, none of us ate the chili. We also never dared eat the deep fried fish nor the hotdogs, but those are other, unfortunate, stories. Needless to say, Fast Patty's no longer exists for very obvious reasons.

[@donmiller2908]

Your experience in fast food restaurants sounds revolting but it's SOP (standard operating procedure) in every establishment that serves food. Perhaps not as extreme as mixing hard chunks of overcooked hamburger into the chili, but if you don't utilize your leftovers and incorporate them into other dishes you may go out of business. Food costs can ruin a restaurant if you aren't careful.

@@fenrirgg The smell of said imitation lavarock was really unappetising as well. The tyre rubber-like wafers, were often taken out of the drawer and left to marinate in their own thick fat runoff for hours on a cold sink, on a washer, or a prep table, before cut up dipped in the hot oil, and added to the constantly putrefying chili. Even those with a very strong gastric constitution would have thought twice before eating the chii if they saw what went into it.

This is really interesting. My brother and I weren’t allowed to eat fast food as kids growing up in America. Once every few years or so we were allowed Taco Bell-I always got bean burritos. Once I was in high school and had a job I bought fast food and I truly didn’t like it, for the most part. To this very day I never, ever eat fast food. Not for some health or moral high ground. I just don’t like it and maybe that’s because of not being raised eating it.

[@JennRighter]

We also didn’t have cable TV growing up. And we rarely watched the 8 channels we had. So we didn’t see the marketing around fast food.

@@JennRighter I eat fast food once in a blue moon but for the most part I'm not a fan. KFC is definitely the 'better' of the bunch though but that's not saying much! When I was a kid I was happy to eat my fruit and veg and any form of junk food was a rare 'delicacy'. We always had a large amount of chinese food on New year's eve! Kids these days think they're hard done to if they don't get to visit McDonald's at least a couple of times a week these days.

[@GrixxlyStrength]

Fast food is supposed to be "cheap" but in reality you're paying $10 for a combo meal. For a couple more dollars you can get a full meal at a restaurant with much better quality. That's the main reason I don't eat fast food. It's hardly any faster then getting take-out either. It's only benefit is being convenient as you are always within a mile from a fast food joint in any town.

[@bradders9449]

I was not raised eating fast food, but at college / university I found myself eating it more because of the convenience, close proximity and perceived low cost. However since finishing my studies a few years ago, I might have had one or two KFCs. Essentially I've realised I only wanted it because it was there, and if you abstain from it or don't live nearby you'll no longer want it. Just like drugs, fast food releases dopamine in the brain where you want something your body does not need!

[@thefirsted]

Once upon a time fast food was at least fast. It isn't a lot of the time now. It's also lost cheap now that it costs two days worth of food budget for a burger combo meal. I think it will lose being food someday soon and would wager that there is a legal technicality that lets them sell their "food" as such.

I've been in Japan during the Christmas season. It's odd to say the least. They play Christmas songs on the radio also, including some new ones that Japanese pop singers came up with themselves.

[@JorgePetraglia2009]

The main reason I don't eat burgers from a fast food "restaurant" is because years ago I saw an article in a mainstream news paper, in which some whistleblower wrote a quasi incredible piece. That article was about the food industry adding ground worms to ground beef in these "restaurants". It is been found that these worms are almost 100% protein, which happens to be good for us and way easier and cheaper to breed than cattle. There's even a company (in Canada) disguised under the name of Ontario Bait that employs a lot of South Asians every summer, to harvest many tons of this "protein" source, which in turn is been authorized by the proper authorities (under the name of "food stuff") as safe to be consumed by humans. This stuff is safe no doubt, and any biologist will agree that it is a good source of protein, but it is not beef and we are paying for it. in some countries people eat fried beetles,unborn chickens,rats,cats and dogs,monkeys and even bats, and in this part of the world we consider them savages. Fast food joints are doing exactly the same as drug dealers : instead of trying to work together they compete with each and in the process the consumer gets sick by consuming their products. Best way to have a decent 100% beef burger : buy chunks of meat (preferably from a farmer) and grind it yourself at home because most probably that ground meat from the butcher, might not be as pure as advertised. The fast food industry is killing us and lazy people who don't cook don't seem to care. Greetings from Toronto.

[@jeffreyduff4269]

I would enjoy watching your analysis of the many anomalies of the Earth's Moon. Information such as the moon never spinning, the 'hollow ringing' sound made by collisions against the moon, Isaac Asimov's famous skepticism about the moon's origins, etc. I would enjoy your take on our only Moon, so please do so!

[@ilangilang7185]

I absolutely love that.

[@MonkeyJedi99]

The moon DOES spin, It rotates on its axis once per orbit (with a little wobbling from gravitational variances) - The phrase "rings like a bell" give the wrong impression. NASA's experiments with crashing expended lunar landers (after the astronauts were moved back to the Apollo module!) caused seismic events that resonated throughout the moon, indicating that it is solid and tectonically dead. Not "hollow". - A LOT of people have been skeptical about the moon's origins. Isaac Azimov died in 1992. Hypotheses about our moon's origins, and the tests of them have continued up to the modern day. These include information gained from rock samples recovered by the Apollo missions, observations of the moon's orbit and behavior, data about the moon's mass and variations in density, and many rigorous laboratory experiments and computer simulations.

In the 90s, McDonald's and Jack in The Box had this feud going on, with a marketing campaign logo on their Fries and Soda cups: "Mac's better than Jack's," and "Jack's better than Mac's." I asked my mom what that was about and she simply said: Business Marketing. lol As a kid I thought it was stupid, and so did my mom. My mom always took me to Jack in The Box.

I can just picture the 1970s Americana novelty. "Kentucky Christmas" is like saying Irish Whiskey or General Tao Chicken. It just *sounds* so authentic, It doesn't actually have to mean anything. A little slice of yankee apple pie. Just like green beer for St Paddy's! 100% a New York creation, to make you *feel* more Irish

[@37thraven]

[@alancharlton7892]

@Thoughty2: No mention of the fact that a Big Mac has a weeks' salt in its' meat & another in its' bun. Burger King in Australia was closed down due to it sourcing its' meat from a pet food supplier, meaning it had the unsaleable parts of cattle & sheep, along with camel & horse meat, all mixed together. A new franchisor operator opened under the name of Hungry Jacks, offering pretty much the same menu, but the meat was ligit this time. Burger King tried to re-open but was beaten in the courts for breach of contract with the Hungry Jacks operator, which had better quality products than both the Burger King & MacDonalds equivalents. I would like Hungry Jacks to open in Indonesia. THE BURGERS ARE BETTER AT HUNGRY JACK'S!

[@amandacollins6215]
