Perhaps the best fast food drive-through song anyone has ever performed. Thanks Sonic … your cheesiness is delicious.

Braille Burgers At Wimpy [Ideas In Awesome]
Posted by Foodie Buddha
on January 18, 2012
For some unexplained reason, blindness and food have popped up a couple of times in my life over the past few weeks. It started when I happened upon a couple of blind foodies who romp around New York City. This AM, through a series of unexplained link clicks, I hit upon this little bit of amazing courtesy of Wimpy, a fast food chain in South Africa. I sure hope someone in the states copies this idea.
Late Night Fast Food Runs: A Dangerous Proposition
Posted by Foodie Buddha
on November 11, 2011
While perusing my community message board this past morning, I stumbled across this particular exchange. Is it something y’all are dying to read? Probably not – in fact, this may be a complete and total waste of time. But it’s Friday, so let’s have a little fun.
Basically, this is a cautionary tale of late night drinking, fast food runs, and what happens when best intentions go to all hell. Thankfully, it was a far less sordid tale then the story behind that little driving mishap pictured here. After I secured permission to post this, I did change some identifiable details. The rest is as it was written.
Make Your McRib Fancy

McDonald’s decision to bring back the McRib has absolutely inundated food news over the past few days. Even mainstream media lamed things up with their coverage and there has been a surge of new “make your own McRib” posts going up. So why did I jump on the band wagon? B/c the McRib is just another fantastic opportunity for me to direct y’all to Fancy Fast Food, a website I’ve mentioned before.
With all the brouhaha over the re-launch of this “cult classic,” it’s nice to find a somewhat unique twist on the story. Basically, Fancy Fast Food is a website (and now a cookbook that you can buy on amazon) dedicated to remixing your favorite fast food dishes. Erik Trinidad takes what was once homely and depressing and re-engineers it into something beautiful. In the case of the McRib (pictured above with a few other Chez Mac classics), FFF has put together a Hawaiian Thanksgiving feast. Though I have yet to try the recipe, I would recommend replacing the bottled water with a more “natural” option. Other than that, it looks good to me! With all the McRib obsession, who says we’re in a health conscious era?
Petition To Save The Varsity Jr. [Dead Pool] 5
Posted by Foodie Buddha
on August 06, 2010
After 45-years at the intersection of Lindbergh and Cheshire Bridge, The Varsity Jr. is sailing off into the sunset. One of six outposts of the institution, the original plan was to rebuild the family-owned location. I first heard about this via a ton of people on twitter and my heart sank as the information was confirmed by 11-Alive just a little bit ago, this thing seems set in stone. They have all the gritty details, so I won’t bother to give you all the he-said, she-said. What I will tell you is that this sucks! The Varsity Jr has been at the same place since before I was born and while I’m a Fenway type of guy, the plan to rebuild it seems reasonable to me. This isn’t right! And while I’m not so bold as to think my word alone carries any weight, but maybe with some help it will. Thus, I’ve started a petition to save the Varsity JR.. We don’t have much time, but let’s see what a little elbow grease can do!

Capt. Shrimp Seafood House Restaurant Review – Fort Lauderdale, FL [Out Of Town] 2
Posted by Foodie Buddha
on February 02, 2010
The drive up the Eastern seaboard of the United States is daunting to say the least. Considering the trek from Miami to Atlanta, there is just something wrong about the idea of driving for 12-hours plus and only hitting two states. A break (or three) is required, and what better way for a foodie to chew up the monotony than with a destination worthy meal?
In preparation for that drive, the Unabomber’s Girlfriend and I spent some time perusing the internet looking for one of those hidden eateries of lore and legend. As we were in seafood central, the cuisine was seemingly selected for us. After scanning several internet sites, we were led to believe that we had found one such gem. Yes, Capt. Shrimp came with high marks from casual dinners over a bevy of websites. Unfortunately, what it delivered was a glorified alternative to Captain D’s.
Taco Bell Owner Glen Bell Dies; Makes One Last Run For The Border

The man who gave every college student hope for a better day finally bid adieu this past Sunday. Though he hasn’t owned Taco Bell is some time, we all owe a gratitude of debt to Mr. Glen Bell; at least, those of us who pulled every last bit of change out of our couch seats just to grab a delicious Mexican pizza do. But as time goes on, we must say goodbye to Mr. Bell, good luck hanging on that big gordita in the sky.
Legos + McDonald’s: Every Thing Tastes Better In Plastic 2

I’ve expressed my love for LEGOS before. I’ve also made no bones about my appreciation for rapidly prepared and delivered morsels of cow parts, pig parts, and “other” parts [See: fast food]. So now we have the heavenly marriage of two of my favorite things! Enjoy:
Yeah, you’ll probably notice that weird looking little symbol by the number … that’s a yen symbol folks … so no available in America-oh.

Yes, The Wendy’s Grand Slam Does Exist (And Partial Nudity Makes Food Easier To Eat) [Laugh Of The Day] 1
Posted by Foodie Buddha
on September 17, 2009
A few days ago, I was reminded how great Big Mac Sauce is. Last night, Adam Biderman was kind enough to direct me to another fast food treat … the Wendy’s Grand Slam. The minimum requirement for this mythic piece of heart attack is the four beef-substitute patties. Beyond that, everything is just a blur.
Anywho, some dude took the time to film himself eating one of these massive mounds of ground round. Though I would have preferred he left his clothes on, and something about the guys affect, when combined with the sound of him eating, just cuts my nerves like fingernails to a chalkboard, it’s an interesting watch
Speaking of Biderman: For those of you who didn’t hear, Adam kicked H+F and we Terminites to the curb some months ago. To complete the dagger to the chest, he packed up his knife kit and headed back to the Big Easy, his place of origin. Though the departures of Sotohiro Kosugi, Guenter Seeger, and Michael Tuohy get a lot more attention, Biderman’s adieu was no less frustrating. While the other three went straight for the bling, Biderman’s cooking was always approachable and accessible while providing your taste buds with an ample challenge. These days, you can catch him at Herbsaint (website), where he has just moved to the lunch shift. So next time any of ya’ll head that way – go give Adam some Suth’un love.
