That is a tasty burger. I can't normally get those cause my wife's a vegetarian, which pretty much makes me a vegetarian.

I can't get behind grown men who dress in makeup, effectively lying about who they really are, who try to amuse children for a living. It's just creepy.

Grown women do that and call it "dating". ;)

Don't know about lamb, but I do remember the putrid McRib sandwich, and they tried out something they called a crab cake which here in Maryland went over like the proverbial lead balloon.

Bill Knapp's Restaurants here in MI tried to change their image, too.

They went out of business as a result.

McD's wont' likely suffer the same fate, but they won't succeed, either.

The dining area will be separated into three sections with distinct personalities. The "linger" zone will offer "comfortable armchairs, sofas, and Wi-Fi connections. "The focus is on young adults who want to socialize, hang out, and linger," says Dixon. Brand consultant Robert Passikoff, president of Brand Keys, a brand consulting firm, says that Starbucks has raised the bar: "A level has been set by Starbucks, which offers the experience of relaxed chairs and a clean environment where people feel comfortable hanging out even if it's just over a cup of coffee."
