Fast Foods

So this is a deviation from the norm, but I want to take the time to share my thoughts on fast food. Let me also say that I do not prefer fast food over regular cooking, but some of it I do enjoy and would like to try to make some attempts at making some of my favorite fast foods.

Let's start with McDonald's. I hate almost everything there. The burgers, the cheeseburgers, the soda (except Sprite), the fish, and even most of the chicken items that they have. Except Chicken McNuggets. I've been eating those ever since I was about 4. I have no idea what it is about them, but I can eat 40 of them in one sitting without barbeque sauce (and I have). I always have and always will love this fast food.

Another fast food chain, that happens to be owned by McDonald's, is Chipotle Mexican Grill. I crave these burritos almost every day. I've tried to imitate them but I never could! It's a goal of mine to create these amazing burritos. Here, my preference is chicken as well. I don't know what McDonald's does to it, but they're doing it right.
