His home in Bergheim, Germany, features a makeshift McDonald's sign and a menu on his living room wall. David, who has eaten over 4,360 burgers, said: “McDonald's has been a huge part of my life for so many years. “It felt right to get a tattoo last July as the fast-food chain has become a part of my identity. “I never order the same meal over and over again because then it would get boring. “But a Big Tasty Bacon meal with fries is to die for. “It is my favourite.” David has no complaints about the menu but tends to avoid the ‘Filet O fish’ and vegan options.

In-N-Out and Chick-fil-A poised for drive-thru duel on the streets of Lone Tree
LONE TREE The line stretched for blocks — manned by cops in reflective vests and corralled by orange cones — each vehicle carrying hungry customers hoping to sample a Double-Double with Animal Fries from In-N-Out’s newest Colorado location, which opened Monday. Across the street, a steady stream of motorists encircled a Chick-fil-A, in a double-lane drive-thru to snag the Georgia-based restaurant’s fried chicken sandwiches and waffle potato fries. “We like both,” said Joe Gonzales of Littleton, who with his wife waited 20 minutes this week to get cheeseburgers and fries from the In-N-Out drive-thru while the Chick-fil-A also did a brisk business. Thus the stage is set in Denver’s south suburbs for a battle royale between two favorites of the fast-food fanatics, each of which regularly deploys a team of workers to take orders and process payment right from customers’ car windows. But it could also spell traffic management problems for this fast-growing city, and the age-old … [Read more...] about In-N-Out and Chick-fil-A poised for drive-thru duel on the streets of Lone Tree

McGrath breaks into song, a version of the now iconic “People in Your Neighborhood,” to explain to kids the role a grocer plays in the community. The grocer is the bearer of sustenance. advertisement advertisement A few weeks ago, during Super Bowl LV, “People in Your Neighborhood” got remixed into an anthem for the app-based delivery platform DoorDash to signal to the world that it is expanding from restaurants to convenience and grocery. In a crisp 60 seconds, a tap dancing Daveed Diggs ( Hamilton )—directed by French auteur Michel Gondry ( Eternal Sunshine of … [Read more...] about If DoorDash wins, what do we lose?
Good God! Thou ate beef?
'If policy-makers hold the lives of animals to be more significant than the welfare of a human populace, I can't believe that they're likely to do anything progressive for India.' Almost 17 years ago, Varsha Bhosle took on the anti-beef lobby on these pages. The day after Maharashtra banned the consumption and sale of beef, we repost Varsha's column, which is still being discussed on the Internet all these years later. B hosle is still in Opposition mode, thanks to Bharatiya Janata Party corporator Parag Alvani getting hives over "our children" being lured to non-vegetarianism by Ronald McDonald. Before taking off, let me make one thing clear -- excepting pizza, I detest all Western fast-food. Personally, I'll be glad to see KFC being replaced by a Singh's Tandoori Chicken. And I don't eat beef in India. But, I've had enough of swadeshi veggienazis. So here goes... On March 31, 1996, the Vishwa Hindu Parishad set about to play the worst April Fool's joke on India.
