Ignorance Is Not Bliss or Sanitary

I went to BurgerKing today with some family and just after we had made our orders I saw this guy in the "kitchen" putting what looked like chicken patties into a friar basket. I was deeply disturbed and almost didn't want my whopper and I love whoppers so much its ridiculous. I didn't know they fried the patties. Well, I didn't have the slightest idea what they did to prepare them but I wouldn't have guessed that they fry them!

I usually don't think about the behind the scenes stuff because I'm so excited that I'm getting a burger and I'm hungry so I'm simply not thinking about how its made. I really should though. I, along with many other people, have heard the horror stories of what goes on behind the counter at crummy fast food places. So from now on I'm not eating at dingy fast food places anymore, not that I really did in the first place but you know. I'm not cutting out Burger King forever I'm just going to be more aware of the upkeep of the restaurant, make sure that it passes my quick visual cleanliness inspection. Gloves, hairnets, the works.

And who else thinks that The King is a bit scary? Just look at this picture!

See! He even creeps out surly, old Crusty the Clown! Creepy!
