Squirrel: The Eco-Friendly Meat du Jour?
Not bad really. I've had some pretty decent squirrel stew.
Throwdown: Chick-fil-A vs. McDonald's Southern Style Chicken
If you really need the chicken sandwich fix on a Sunday the McDonald's one will fill in adequately. However, any other day of the week I will stick with the Chick-Fil-A. Strangely, I found that the outside of my McDonald's bun was buttered which left me with some really greasy fingers.
Chipotle Calorie Math Makes Absolutely No Sense
Carnitas Fajitas Burrito with Corn Salsa and Green Salsa. No cheese, sour cream or lettuce. Occasionally I get guacamole. Honestly, I know that it is bad for me, but it is pretty tasty. I generally try to limit this to a once a month kind of treat for a rough day.
Top 10 Awesome Nostalgic Foods We Want Back
My high school was a test market for Crystal Pepsi. I never really liked the stuff, buy I had one friend who had to have it every single day. I really do miss the fried apple pies though, they just seemed to taste better. I think Hardee's fries their apple pies, so if you're hankering for a fried apple pie, that may be the place to go (I could be wrong though).

Pretty cool, but does this one transform into a giant can of Spam?

Serious Sandwiches: The Aussie Burger
Pineapple has no place on a burger! But I'd say (as an Australian) beetroot has as many fans as it has haters. Plus that restaurant you mentioned seems like one of those upscale burger joints that have been opening all over - touting their rather expensive burgers as a healthy option. Real heads know it's the local fish and chip shop that brings the goods.

To answer your question, yes, I can assure you there are LOTS of things greater than the breakfast burger...

Ruby's in NYC makes Aussie style burgers! I haven't been there in years, but I'd love to go back and see how it is.. :)
Serious Sandwiches: The Aussie Burger
I remember these from when I lived in Oz -- a 'Burger With The Lot' -- cheese, pineapple, beetroot, bacon and a fried egg plus the usual lettuce, tomato and onions...

Has anyone tried it at Eight Mile Creek down in SoHo?
Throwdown: Chick-fil-A vs. McDonald's Southern Style Chicken
Just thought of something else.... I bet CFA's Sandwichs are less fats then mcdonalds, im not sure on that one, i forgot how many calories and fat is in a CFA but know that its really not to bad considering its fried and its fast food.
I just noticed all my spelling errors on those comments, i spelled sandwich wrong like 100 times. sorry
Throwdown: Chick-fil-A vs. McDonald's Southern Style Chicken
Oh yeah and the CFA that i work at uses homemade biscuts, i know that some CFA's use frozen biscuts but not all of them.

I would just like to comment to the person who said that the secret to the CFA sandwhich is that they marinate the chicken in pickle juice. I have worked at a CFA for 6 years now i have been a manager for 3. We do not marinate are CFA Sandwhichs in pickles juice. Our Grills and our old strips are marinated in pickle juice but the regular CFA is not. The secret to our Sandwhich and what makes it 100 times better then Mcdonalds is that its FRESH! not frozen, we bread ALL of our chicken (except the Chargrills of course). When i think of Country fried Chicken Sandwhich, i think of fresh chicken, not a frozen patty that gets reheated. We also have a timed holding system, if the chicken has been sitting for to long we can't serve it. I dunno that all Chick-Fil-A's follow this holding system but i know that they are supposed to and the CFA that i work at in Kentucky does follow the rules.Also, our bun is evenly buttered, the mcdonalds sandwhich above looks as if they used a squirt bottle to spray the butter on. Something i did notice about the CFA sandwhich above is the pickles, they are supposed to be evenly placed on the bun, not over-lapping. Something else that makes the CFA sandwhich is the foil steam bag that we put are sadwhich in, it keeps the sandwhich hot and very moist. I do find it alittle bit weird that the Mcdonalds sandwhich costs more then our CFA sandwhich though considering that its a frozen patty and also its MCDONALDS arn't they supposed to be really cheap? Well with the quality of there food the whole menu should be 99 cents. I have worked at CFA for 6 years now and yes i am tired of eating there 5 days a week, (i eat chargrills everyday almost) i would still, hands down, chose CFA over mcdonalds.
We do have a new limited time coffee carmel milk shake that is out of this world and you should try it. Also we have new chicken strips (no longer marinated in pickle juice) that are amazing as well. Oh and our new Chicken Salad recipe! yummy!
Side note- KFC is the only other place that i know that breads their chicken but i know that not all of their chicken is breaded, i know that the popcorn chicken is frozen, not sure about the rest.

The three bites of squirrel can be served as the main entree after the chipmunk amuse bouche.
