Top 5 Best Fast Food Items.
Well last week we did the worst, so now here is the best.
5. In-N-Out's Double Double. This would be higher, but it is regional, only on the west coast (and parts of Nevada and Arizona). Nothing fancy here, just your basic burger, but very well made. They claim it is all fresh, and it does taste as if that is true.
4. Del Taco's Macho Combo Burrito. This comes in several variations. They are all decent. This is mostly here because it is a good value.
3. Jack in the Box's Sourdough Jack. Tomatoes, bacon, and Swiss cheese on sourdough bread. Tasty, and a bit different from your average burger.
2. Popeye's Fried Chicken. Of the chain chicken you can get this is the best. The only thing better would be making it yourself.
1. Carl's Jr's Prime Rib burger. While I doubt it was really "prime rib" on it, it was tasty. With grilled onions, horseradish, Swiss cheese, on a Ciabatta roll. They last made it in 2008, and I honestly miss it.

Striving For Mediocre
Seems like the goal has changed. It is as if no one cares about being the best anymore. Food is getting worse, movies have nothing to say, and television after only the lowest common denominator. It is no longer a matter of trying to be the best, it is instead a quest not to be the worst.
McDonald's is not bad. It is not great either. It is edible, that is about all you can say. So why is there a trend of other fast food restaurants trying to emulate the food of McDonald's? Why is everyone making a version of the Big Mack? Jack in the Box has the Bonus Jack, Burger King has the Big King, Carl's Jr (Hardee's) has the Big Carl. The Big Mack is edible, but it is hardly great. It might only be fast food, but they could do better. Carl's Jr has made some great food in the past, the Prime Rib Burger and Steakhouse Burger come to mind, neither of which they make anymore.
Television has gotten worse. The fact anyone knows who the person pictured above is, is proof television television is doing harm. How can "Honey Boo Boo" do better in terms of ratings than "30 Rock". "30 Rock" is a consistently well written and funny show. "Honey Boo Boo" is very ugly white trash family eating horrid food and reinforcing stereotypes. When did quality stop mattering? When did shit become the gold standard?
Movies. Sure it is January, and movies are usually weak this time of year. However that is no excuse for Hansel and Gretel being released. How did this happen? Some one had to first think this was a good idea, present it to their boss, who would then need to green light this idea. A writer then has to right it, and actors have to agree to be in it. How does all of this happen for an idea this bad?
So to sum up, the world is getting worse. Food is getting bland, TV is making you less intelligent, movies... dear god... When did being the best stop being the goal?
