Had a bison burger with smoked gouda cheese and a whiskey sauce at my hometown's best restaurant. Absolutely delicious. :mmm:

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Grilled cheese sandwiches with tomato soup.

Hey - on the weekend I had the three boys, plus a friend of theirs.

In order to get them (and me) out of the house I took them to McDonalds. Happy meals for everyone!

Except... this McDonalds has recently installed this new "Create your taste" kiosks, so I decided to try that.  You want up to this enormous touchscreen - it had to be 30" long.  And then you go ahead and special order your burger.  I went ahead and created some concoction with 2 patties, grilled onions, monterey jack cheese, lettuce and mustard.  Once you enter your order you pick up a little doohickey and sit down.

Then a few minutes later a server comes and brings you your food.  Yup.  Table service at McDonalds. :wacko:

The burger comes out on what is meant to look like a wooden cutting board, but is really just plastic.  If I'd ordered fries they'd have come in a little metal basket (I just ate some fries from the boys Happy Meals).

How was it?  Honestly it was pretty good.  Definitely a step up from typical McDonalds.  But it was also a $10 burger.  If you want a premium burger I'm not sure if you're better off going to McDonalds, or some other chain.

And also, I didn't see a lot of other people getting their food brought out (though that might have been because we were sitting next to the kids play structure).  I'm unconvinced this is going to be a hit for McDonalds.  It feels more like McPizza - which I remember liking at the time, but apparently was a disaster for the chain.


So there you go.  McDonalds Create Your Taste - I ate it so you don't have to.

I had a burger from Five Guys. It didn't cost $10.

I had one the other week and got to be 8.99 in pounds.

Veggie chili, roasted sweet potatoes instead of meat. YUM! It's much tastier and fuller than I imagined.

And of course there are beans in it. Lots of beans.

Had some epic Shrimp Scampi yesterday, best Italian I've ever had in Korea.

But what I really want to be eating is this, looks so fucking good.

Seems like you have a method of making that yourself pretty easily. :huh:

Though, I don't get the American fascination with bananas in deserts.

Jarheads shot up a lot of reds and banditos so we could eat those bananas.  It's a patriotic duty.
