I promise this won't regularly be a blog about fast food, but I HAVE to comment on something. As I eluded to at the outset of this blog, L.A. is TEEMING with burger joints. Anyway, this one in particular, Carl's Jr., has flown too close to the burger sun. They've been running this ad out here non-stop, for this new burger. I shouldn't even call this a burger. It's a monstrosity. It's a "Philly-Cheesesteak Cheeseburger." What that means is that they literally have a whole Philly-Cheesesteak, complete with onions and peppers, on top of a whole like, quarter-pound cheeseburger. The worst part is, in this commercial, these two putzes are talking about it, while one of them stuffs his fat face, and keeps talking in this "cabbie speak," with a mouth full of "cow" as they put it ('that's a nice cow,"), the whole time. Disgusting.
Lord knows I've been known to partake of a burger or two in my day. Hell, I drink my coffee out of my trusty White Castle mug, in a subtle hommage to the slider kings every day. But this is ridiculous. A line has to be drawn. The burger one-upsmanship out here is crazy. Burger King has I think a FIVE patty burger. You name it, they slap it on out here in the name of More Meat.
Anyway, I think this will only be of interest to one J. Wise up in Boston (you know who you are), but I just had to get it off my chest.
I also owe a brief apology to all of my "loyal readers." The Felz correctly pointed out my misspelling of "Schwarz" in FAO Schwarz, completely undermining my cosmopolitan credibility, as I spelled it like a tourist.

something tells me if they slapped a piece of pig on top of that cow you wouldn't be complaining so much.
there is nothing quite so tiring as watching westerners do their impersonation of easterners (except maybe being a westerner and watching easterners impersonate you).
all these years playing with you, i had no idea what a good writer you are. i'll miss you tonight!
