Two Stories From The Fast Food Front

The juxtapostion of two news stories involving burger joints is just to delicious to pass up.

First, there's a news story in the Star-Tribune of Minneapolis, MN, about a man in Quinton Virgina who lost 80 pounds by eating every meal at Mc Donald's. Yes. You read that right. He _lost_ 80 pounds by eating every meal at McDonalds. According to the news story, he didn't eat the burgers, but instead he ate "Mostly salads, wraps and apple dippers without the caramel sauce."

Chris Colson started off at 278 pounds and now weighs 199. He says he wants to get down to 185, the weight he was at when he married his wife.

Second, earlier this week, Fox News reported that Burger King announced that it had just brought to market the world's most expensive hamburger. According to the news story:

The fine ingredients of what is called simply 'The Burger' include Wagyu beef, white truffles, Pata Negra ham slices, Cristal onion straws, Modena balsamic vinegar, lambs lettuce, pink Himalayan rock salt, organic white wine and shallot infused mayonnaise in an Iranian saffron and white truffle dusted bun.

All proceeds from the $200 burger go to a London charity for abused children.

I think when Mr. Colson reaches his goal, somone ought to buy him "The Burger" to celebrate.
