I ate at McDonalds last night, breaking a self imposed ban on fast food that has lasted almost 6 months. The ban is for many reasons, health primarily but also due to my concern about our food supply and the effects that factory farming are having on the world. All that aside, on our way [...]

There’s no questioning that McDonald’s is the most recognizable fast food chain in the world. McDonald’s is where it all started, as far as fast food goes. Everyone is familiar with the Golden Arches, and staples like the Big Mac, Chicken McNuggets, and Egg McMuffins. They’re often imitated, never duplicated. But while McDonald’s is at [...]

If you’re wondering why there have been dragons roaming Chinatown all week, let me lay it out for you: it’s Chinese New Year. Also known as Lunar New Year, the 15 day celebration signifies the end of Winter and beginning of Spring. At Panda Express, Chinese New Year means one thing: the return of Firecracker [...]

The latest addition to Taco Bell’s repetitive menu is the Beefy Crunch Burrito. It was re-released last month after being originally introduced over a year ago. I can’t say I’ve ever been excited about a new menu item from Taco Bell. I did eat quite a few Beefy Melts before they got rid of them [...]

Some people are awarded television shows to document their delicious travels and culinary journeys to exotic locales or highly regaled dining establishments much to the glee of Foodies and salivating everyday Joe’s alike.  Who wouldn’t sell their soul to the Devil for a chance to switch places with gastronomic globetrotters Andrew Zimmerman or Anthony Bourdain?

(The Kiwi Burger sounds strangely good) Link to full size image Internationally, particularly in China, KFC is the dominant brand with items like a Dragon Twister and [...]

During this holiday travel season, eating on the road is a reality for many of us. Up until fairly recently I traveled a lot for work. Like many of you, I always viewed road trips as a free for all of fast food, junk food and too much booze. When I started travelling almost weekly for work I had to [...]

The Mac Snack Wrap is back at McDonald’s for a limited time only. I guess at least one person in the world missed it, or something. The Mac Snack Wrap was first introduced in 2009, and discontinued in 2010. It has now been brought back from the dead. The weird thing is, while I knew [...]
