Double true for fast food joints.  There’s a McDonalds near where I work.  When I went there three times and discovered no soap in the mens’ bathroom dispenser each time, I knew no one in the kitchen ever washed their hands.

As a kid, I used to judge a restaurant based on how clean the restroom was. I have no idea why I started using this as a metric. Later I saw that Gordon Ramsay did this in Kitchen Nightmares. The logic was it’s relatively easy to keep a bathroom clean. If it’s dirty, just imagine how dirty the kitchen is.

This, the dumbest take, again. Why you are so aggrieved by a simple marketing term, or what other people choose to eat and why, when it literally doesn’t affect you at all, is baffling. I eat fake meat because I like it, and IDGAF if it bunches up your panties. Get used to it, because these products are not going away.

Does anyone else experience a white hot rage whenever anyone (especially MAGA-chuds) uses the term “woke”? Always to describe anything that varies from their narrow-minded, inaccurate, and often racist/misogynist/intolerant view of how the world is or “should” be. It’s easily beating out all comers for my most cringe…

I don’t know about Katrina. I think that’s still “normal.” The others, yeah I can see it. I feel sorry for most Karens out there.

Yeah but he claims he always “felt that he was in the military” so there you go.

Unfortunately true. They’re not beholden to the people they represent, they’re beholden to the PACs and corporations that funnel money into their campaigns (read: slush funds).

One of the dumbest things I’ve ever seen: a house near me has a huge sign saying “Veterans for Tr*mp.” Whaaat? He wouldn’t piss on them if they were on fire. You just can’t fix stupid.

It’s illegal.  If For-Profit companies could start doing this, they’d march in lockstep to start everyone back to company scrip.

Well, it’s run by evangelicals, so their mental process is already broken.

You have to wonder how they ever thought this would be a good idea

A stray onion ring in your order of fries beats an order of onion rings.  I don’t know why.

I’m surprised more people don’t know about the rings thanks to the one ring that inevitably sneaks into every order of fries, to the point that I wonder if that’s a near universal accident or actual company policy.

The fact that Burger King has onion rings seems to go unnoticed. They are small, crunchy and can be had with a ring sauce that isn’t too spicy. I’ll sub for them anytime I go to BK, even though the fries are pretty good, too.

The Banquet Salisbury Steak meals are the shit (along with a lot of their other meals). They’re only a buck-and-some-change, so 2 or 3 can fill you up...or sometimes, I’ll buy the 6-pack for $4 and just go ham on the whole tray.

I actually like the frozen ones because they are very finely ground and fork tender. Most store hamburger is actually a fairly coarse grind. A better texture could probably be achieved at home by processing the hamburger further, but I’m lazy.

I think the TV dinner industry ruined the notion of salisbury steak as a legitimate dinner. But people most likely still love it without knowing it. After all, one would still make and eat a home made shepherd pie, which is essentially the same plate of food.

They’re supposed to learn that they too can get stealth advertising positioned as “content” from increasingly dire millennial/zoomer food blogs by ponying up enough cash.

I think I missed what restaurants are supposed to learn from Applebee’s, or what Applebee’s did to rebrand itself as country, or what the last paragraph even means? 

I know a lot of G/O media writers get unfairly called out as plants and shills, but goddamn, this article reads like a straight-up commercial.
