Fast Food

When you remove a fast food burger from its wrapper and bite down, you are taking it on faith that there isn't something really disgusting between the buns. Last week a KFC diner in the Toronto-area paid for this faith. As you can see, he took a big bite of his chicken burger only to find that somebody forgot to stick the chicken part in the deep fryer.

Bad news for fans of the porky substance that is McDonald's McRib sandwich. Instead of being sold beginning on October 22nd, as was initially planned, the limited time offering won't hit markets until late December. Bah humbug!

Starbucks isn't especially known for its healthy eating options, but a Virginia woman claims to have lost nearly 80 pounds by consuming nothing but food from the coffee chain. If that's true, this is a diet we actually might consider ourselves. (But we're not giving up our beloved Caffe Mocha.)

You can call them by their proper name, "Waffle Chip Dippers," all you want. Those, friends, are ice cream nachos. Baskin-Robbins is selling them at select locations for $2.99, which is significantly less than the cost of nachos that aren't made out of ice cream, last we checked.

On the one hand, fast food chain Chipotle has been taking more money from their customers than they're technically owed. On the other hand, we knew those enormous burritos were too good to be true. It turns out the company has been rounding up prices on tickets and keeping the change.

Recently a video review that YouTube personality Daym Drops did of Five Guys Burgers and Fries went viral, thanks to Drops' enthusiastic embrace of the restaurant chain's greasy fare. While the video is quite entertaining, it's six minutes long, a tough sell in today's climate of instant gratification. But never fear -- The Gregory Brothers have remixed the review into a more manageable two minute

Chick-fil-A's sandwiches sure are tasty, but if you object to the company's anti-gay political stance, you might find the food difficult to stomach. As a alternative, internet chef Hilah Johnson has created a close facsimile called the "Chick-fil-Gay Sandwich." It's deliciously pro-gay rights!

They say "ignorance is bliss" -- and that saying goes double when it comes to fast food. Next time you grab some grilled chicken or chili from a fast food joint, consider these insights we'll bet you wish you never knew.

For those of you who didn't know (which might actually be all of you), last Friday the 13th was Cow Appreciation Day. It was a day dedicated to showing your love for the majestic cow by dressing up in a head-to-toe cow costume. We're still perplexed as to how this actually benefits these animals, but regardless the fast-food joint Chick-fil-A was very into this weird holiday.

While McDonald's tastes good, it doesn't always seem like it is made from the kind of natural ingredients you could buy in a grocery store. As part of McDonald's Canada's ongoing campaign to demystify their fare, executive chef Dan Coudreaut demonstrates in this video how you can actually make a Big Mac in your own kitchen using simple, readily available ingredients.

For the last 19 years, Duncan Brannan has been the nasal voice behind Chuck. E Cheese's singing animatronic mouse mascot. (Yes, a restaurant chain has a rodent for a mascot, think about that for a moment.) But all good things come to an end, and Brannan was saddened to learn that he was being replaced by a presumably younger and hipper voice actor as part of a "wholesale makeover" of Mr.

Sure there is the odd cheese-hater out there, but for the most part we can all agree that a slice of the dairy product is only going to make a burger better. Yet the folks at KFC have managed to screw that up. The ad pictured here -- which is the embodiment of "you're doing it wrong" -- features a new chicken sandwich being offered at the fast food chain's locations in the Philippines. R

Not only can eating McDonald's be bad for you, it's also apparently a crime if someone throws it in your face. In a recent case, 26-year-old step-father James Hackett, of Lowell, MA, was arrested for allegedly assaulting his stepdaughter with a dangerous weapon -- an order of McDonald's french fries. No word on whether they were Super-sized or not.

It's a grim fact of reality that fast food never looks as good as it does in commercials. So how do restaurants manage this photographic sleight of hand? This behind-the-scenes video of a McDonald's photo shoot has all the answers.

Here in the lower 48 we take for granted our "fourth meal." But if you live up in the frozen tundra of Alaska, you can't just take a spin to the local Taco Bell. In fact, if you live in Bethel, Alaska, a town of 6000, you would have to drive about 350 miles to Anchorage to grab a late-night gordita. Which is why Bethel resident were so excited when yellow fliers announcing the arrival of
