McDonald's, Burger King, Wendy's, Taco Bell and all the others will be greatly interested.....................

I’m still not going to marry one. I know..... that is completely sexist or whatever.

Hey, I didn’t ask for bananas on my pizza!

Boy is Gordon Ramsay going to hate the next season of Master Chef...

“Yhey don’t have the ability to create fire”? Maybe they are too smart to light a fire way out in the woods away from a hydrant?

Quite the leap from understanding the food tastes better from one box to “having the brain power to cook”.

[txrefugee]

But it could be a problem when they start throwing their feces.

[Snickering Hound]

Wait until you taste that dish he prepared where he substituted Jaegermeister for wine.

[Olog-hai]

LOL “might”.

Chimps have four hands. Not a stretch to train them to do tricks such as manipulating cooking utensils.

McDonald's, Burger King, Wendy's, Taco Bell and all the others will be greatly interested.....................

Indeed, I might be willing to pony up more money for a Wendy's Double if I can watch a chimp make it, so we can pay them $15/hour.

I remember a trip to “The Monkey Jungle” when I was young in Miami. There was a sign at the chimp exhibit which said, “Throw chimps a peanut and they will clap for you”. When you did, all they’d do in return was fart and throw their feces back at the crowd.

Maybe that’s intelligence of some sort.

[Billthedrill]

I believe it. I’ve seen The Cooking Channel.

[Kirkwood]

My chimp uses the phone to order take out.

The findings, based on nine experiments conducted at the Tchimpounga Sanctuary in Republic of Congo and published in Proceedings of the Royal Society B, suggest that chimps have all the brainpower needed to cook, including planning, causal understanding, and ability to postpone gratification.

They do lack the ability to produce fire.

So, then... ...chimps DO NOT have all the brainpower needed to cook.

The people who decided what the experiments "suggested" are delusional, stupid, liars, or some combination of all three.

[Popman]

When I see chimps in the wild start cooking the chimp they just killed in a fight...

I’d be impressed...

[Resolute Conservative]

Minimum wage would still go up and chimps would get to vote.

Not THAT'D be Restaurant Impossible! But undoubtedly six steps up from a fast-food joint staffed with urban ferals! I mean, the monkeys may pick their butts between orders, but at least it wouldn't be intentionally malicious...

You’ve got competition...
