Chipotle is the antithesis of McDonald's. Chipotle's menu is simple, straightforward, and uncluttered. McDonald's seemingly believes if every slot on their menu isn't filled with a food item, they're not trying hard enough. The result is that while McDonald's does just about everything mediocre at best, Chipotle's food is all quite good. McDonald's ( Read more... )

The new management at the mall closest to me razed a fairly successful Burger King in order to put up two other quick-service restaurants, Chipotle and Potbelly, which, in the world of casual dining, is like wrecking an Escort and then getting a Cadillac and a Lexus. While both restaurants pride themselves on friendly service, great food, a ( Read more... )

I am the type of person that likes to help out his friends. When a friend has a book for sale, I buy it*. (You should too, by the way.) When a friend wants to spend two hours talking about his dating experiences, I listen. And when a friend tells me that he wants to see another X-Chow food review despite the fact he's the only one who reads them or ( Read more... )

From what I can best tell, Burger King is actively trying to kill its customers. In the past six months, they have introduced the Enormous Omelet Sandwich, the Meatnormous Omelet Sandwich, and the Triple Whopper, all of which easily top 1000 calories and 60 grams of fat. Then again, it might be a better fate to suffer a massive heart attack than to ( Read more... )

Since it seems like I'm going to keep writing these, I have created a tag for these reviews. I have also retroactively add the restaurant and food item to each title.Michigan City is a nice town. If you have time, you can visit the "moving sand dune" Mt. Baldy, Barker Mansion, or the Rag Top Museum. However, when you're there for an hour or so and ( Read more... )

This commentary is in the same vein as these three entries.I eat chicken sandwiches because, well, I have to. My body cannot process beef very well, so five minutes of burger bliss now will cost me up to half a week of being quite uncomfortable. Though I have problems with the fat-fried fat, my body forgives me when I eat chicken covered in batter ( Read more... )

This is a rather useless fast-food chicken sandwich review very loosely based on this show that I do. (I wish I could do burgers, but I can't.) As you can guess, this is the third one. If you're interested, here are the first and the second.The company I work for has put me in the "extra" van, a 1995 Mercury Villager nearing 165,000 miles with a ( Read more... )

This is in the same line as this entry on Culver's grilled chicken sandwich. Sorry again, Adam and Morgan!McDonald's. You know it, you're lovin' it. Or at least McDonald's thinks you do. The truth is, no one over thirteen loves McDonald's. We settle for McDonald's. We tolerate McDonald's. We all know McDonald's serves mediocre, egregiously ( Read more... )

My apologies to Adam Sessler and Morgan Webb, the hosts of G4TechTV's "X-Play", in advance.Today, I was driving back from an interview from a job I would like to have not so much because I want the job, but because I need to keep from becoming a pathetic government leech. I passed many familiar fast food restaurants I knew, and in some cases, ( Read more... )
