Last night I almost posted 'What a positive attitude about erectile dysfunction!'  I didn't because I thought it would be rude.  But what the heck...

Awe,  I like tents too!     I think that was  a simple typo.   "treated"  often as White Castle doesn't have any restaurants locally anymore.

Actually, I thought you were trying to say you weren't tempted often. 😉

Why no DAVE THOMAS ST. outside a Wendy's or RAY KROC BLVD outside a McDonalds?

 

The crowd that gathered at the White Castle on Queens Boulevard in Sunnyside on Sept. 7 weren’t there for the “cheesy sliders” deal, but rather to honor the memory of longtime neighborhood business leader John Vogt.

The corner where the White Castle sits was co-named for Vogt, who is remembered as a stalwart in the Sunnyside community, having been one of the founding members of the Sunnyside Shine BID and a leader of the Sunnyside Chamber of Commerce before he died last February at the age of 66 following a two-year battle with cancer.

Raised in Jackson Heights, Vogt got his first job at age 14 as a janitor at the now-shuttered White Castle location at 88-08 Northern Blvd. location in 1970. He spent his career at the company and eventually oversaw the locations throughout Queens as regional director of the New York region based in Woodside before he retired in 2014.

According to his wife Candida Vogt, the White Castle on 43rd Street and Queens Boulevard in Sunnyside was his “place.” Now, the corner outside the fast food joint bears his name.

Bayside’s newest Dunkin’ location also features borough’s first Jimmy John’s

 

A new Dunkin’ Donuts opened its doors in Bayside on Sept. 14 – and will soon feature the borough’s first Jimmy John’s as well. 

Previously there was a Bean Square coffee shop on the corner spot on Northern Boulevard and 211th Street. Unlike the international coffee giant, the shop was independent and roasted their own beans daily on site. They closed over a year ago. 

The new spot will also have a drive-thru in the near future, but for now the window is being used as a pedestrian friendly pickup spot for mobile orders. When the drive-thru does open, a sign will go up outside the front of the store to let drivers know. There is also an outdoor seating area with umbrellas for shade. 

For at least the next week, customers who purchase a sandwich can get a free medium hot coffee as part of the new store’s promotion.

McDonald’s has made a major overhaul on how it’ll be cooking burgers, prized Big Macs included, to improve upon a years-long shortcoming the company says made for unhappy meals, the Wall Street Journal reports.

In tandem with a spring ad campaign promising the fast food titan’s “best burgers ever,” the new initiative seeks to McMake the bunned delights much more juicy — with over 50 modifications.

“We can do it quick, fast and safe, but it doesn’t necessarily taste great. So, we want to incorporate quality into where we’re at,” Chris Young, McDonald’s senior director of global menu strategy, told the Journal.

Six patties will be grilled at a time instead of eight for the auto-cooking mechanism to apply less pressure and retain more burger patty juices
Big Macs will get more sauce
Buttery brioche buns will be used and sliced with a thicker bottom to retain heat
Sesame seeds will be more randomly scattered on buns to give a homier look
Cheese will be taken out of refrigerators sooner so it melts more during cooking
Onions will be rehydrated after purchase for more juiciness
Lettuce and pickles will be stored in smaller containers so they must be refreshed more often

The test kitchen at the McDonald’s Chicago headquarters served as the proverbial Los Alamos, where chef Chad Schafer had been tinkering with a new methodology for burger flipping.

As part of a seven-year quest, he made a double cheeseburger in its standard way and then tried a new style.

“One is hotter…It looks meltier. Look at how my fingers sink into the bun. Smell it and you smell a big difference,” Schafer said of the revamped burger.

“This one, it’s kind of dry. It cracks…And this is the best-case example at headquarters,” he added of the cheeseburger in place now.

The new version was tested in Australia and is being rolled out at the chain’s 13,460 US locations, starting with the West Coast and Midwest. The plan is to have all US stores ketchup by early 2024.

I'm looking forward to the new Big Mac.

Whataburger, a Texas staple, is really good. Burgers are a tad better than the other fast food giants. But the service is always so friendly. I like how they come around to your table to offer you ketchup and sauces. And generally the place is really clean. They do a few things very well and focus on them, which of course is the key to any successful business: Find your niche and stay there.

The Egg McMuffin is probably my most frequently consumed fast-food.  Love how simple it is, relatively healthy ingredients, delicious! 😎

To the ravenous, those with a voracious appetite, and the carb depleted, we can be a little less discerning, making  most things pretty awesome that includes McDonald's, In-N-Out, a pizza, a specialty burger from a fancy joint or a sushi place. 🙂

Gives a new meaning to “there is no there there” which is how Gertrude Stein characterized her home town of Oakland, California when she was living in self exile in Paris. 😜

KFC debuts the 'Chizza' — a fried chicken, pizza mashup

 

Can’t decide between fried chicken or pizza? Now you can enjoy both simultaneously.

After stopping hearts around the globe, KFC’s “Chizza” — a mashup of these two iconic fast foods — has finally made its much-anticipated US debut.

From February 26, stateside KFC outlets will offer this high-octane hybrid for a limited time only, promising an artery-clogging crossover for the ages.

For KFC diehards, this marks a coming-out party for the Chizza, which debuted in the Philippines in 2015, before regularly appearing at KFC outlets in China, Thailand, Germany, Spain and other countries.

As advertised, the Chizza — which showed up at a free “Chizzeria” pop-up on 14th Street in NYC on Friday – entails two extra crispy KFC chicken filets slathered with marinara sauce.

These are then topped with mozzarella cheese and pepperoni slices to make the pizza-fication complete.

The Chizza skews a bit more chicken than pizza.  Its flavor profile rings closer to that of a chicken parmigiana, and the chicken managed to maintain its herbal essence despite being thoroughly baptized in marinara.

The Chizza comes in two sizes, small or large.

Customers can also get it as part of a combo meal with coleslaw, beans and other sides for $14.

However, they’re a tad chintzy with the cheese, so don’t expect to be doing any record-breaking “pulls” with this one.
