I'm agree w/ Animal. Wendy's chili used to be a lot better. If you want any heat in it at all, you have to ask for the spice packets (locally, anyway). I used 3 packets & it was still pretty tame.

There's a fascinating story at Forbes.com on McDonald's turnaround: "You want data with that?"

Following five years of steadily declining sales of Burger King's icon Whopper sandwich, the chain called back co-founder Dave Edgerton to help fix it with Peter Gibbons, the company's corporate chef.

Just get rid of the MBAs and put some restaurateur's in charge. Wanna fix the high tech industry? Get rid of the MBAs and put the techno-geeks in charge. See a pattern emerging here?

There's probably something to this, the best Whopper I ever had was in Orlando in 1963.

I love Whoppers but I agree with the other poster. If they would wrap them in lettuce, they would have low carb and a winner!

BKs in Omaha have Low Carb Whopper "Bowls". Whopper or Double on bed of lettuce.

Hi, AC! Was that the one in Granby? I went there a lot during 1974-5 when I was doing the books for a company there.

Besides, who the heck eats mayo on a burger anyway? I ran into that in the midwest and thought it was a regional thing.

Who doesn't eat mayo on a burger?

Sincerely,
grit in the midwest. :)

Although the new Whopper will look almost identical to the current one, the only thing that will stay the same is the Heinz ketchup.

And they can toss that too.

That's nothing, A year ago, I went to an A&W in Dearborn, MI. Large group of ten people. Each kid ordered a root beer float. Idiot behind the counter made 5 of them, passed them out and forgot to end the order on the computer screen. This Nobel Laureate proceeds to make 5 more. Finally get to the table to find three more errors. Waited while they fixed them and got back to table. Open mine up to find that the hamburger I ordered was chicken. I ate it anyway.

3 Braum's

Now, why did ya' have to go & mention Braum's?? Great burger & their German Chocolate ice cream is to die for. Unfortunately, it's a real long drive to a Braum's from Wisconsin. :(

LOL. No, it wasn't that long ago -- it was about a 15-minute drive north of the Vermont border, in a small town called St.-Jean-sur-Richelieu.

It's a nice little town. "St. John on the Richelieu" is the English translation -- it's right alongside the Richelieu River, which runs north out of Lake Champlain to the St. Lawrence River.

I used to enjoy Jack in the Box. They had several burgers that I liked. Then they decided to alter them. They took out the special sauce and replaced it with ketchup. They advertised the change as an up grade in their product. But, I disagree. I don't even like ketchup on my fries. Now I no longer purchase their burgers.

I used to eat at Jack in the Box on a regular basis. Now, I only buy an occasional breakfast there. I wish they would go back to their old recipe. I miss how good their Sourdough Jacks used to be.

RE: subliminal electioneering

Use the words "ketchup" and "Heinz" whenever possible.

What in the hell is in it?

Any oil will do, although it might be recommended that used crankcase oil be strained to remove larger metal fragments.

What the heck are those high-salaried execs paid to do? They should just hire Wimpy to tell them how to fix their burgers. All they'd have to do is give him a few burgers a day. Cheap.

LOL. You-all are sick. The first time I saw all that white stuff on a burger I almost got sick to my stomach.

I bet you eat fluffernutter too, huh? : )
