Saw a new level of douche at Chipotle today. Guy in front of me asked for fajita veggies, but ONLY onions, not green peppers. The employee had to sit there for several minutes picking out onions 1 by 1 with the tongs until the dude was satisfied that he had enough.

just because mexican food can be assembled quickly doesn't make chipotle fast food

I live in a city where no restaurants are fast food then. McD's, BK's, In-n-Out. None have drive-thrus.

I think they found the horsemeat in European Ikeas. Whatever, wouldn't care if they were here, they are delicious little meat nuggets.

This argument again? Not only is it stupid, it's wrong.
Also there is a Chipolte in southern MN that has a drive thru and that shit is always backed up.

I'd say any place that has the name of the bowel movements their food produced coined is fast food. McShits. Turd King. Diarrhea Bell.

How bout fast food= Fast food? Pretty simple. Well some fast food places that I went to were not exactly fast but whatever.
I used to work for McDs back when I was like 16, in like 88' or 89'? Anyway they used to cook fresh food. They used to keep the burgers for like 20 min but they always cooked and assembled fresh. The only things they used to keep in warming bins was the fried crap, like chicken and fish fillet and nuggets. Now they pre-cook all the bullshit and store it in bins and its not the same. Sure its more streamlined and they dont waste as much, but its just not the same quality like it was back then. Meat tastes like dried out cardboard.
They are all doing it now, Wendys, McD, Burger king...etc..
Probably the best method of meat storage before assembly was this little drive in A&W I used to work at, later in high school. We used to grill the burgers and put them into a bin full of beef broth that was kept warm right on the grill. Man, those were some juicy and tasty burgers. As the day progressed they even got better because that broth would get better and better with all the burger drippings. The hot dog steam table was a trip too. When I first started there it was so fucking hard to stick my hand in there and pull out hot dogs and buns, but you just got used to it over time.

I used to work at BK. Everything was fairly fresh (we were in a mall, so pretty high traffic). We had to throw out burgers every 20 minutes or so, and they sat in a steamer on the bun. The fried stuff usually went fairly quickly, but again we threw it out after a certain time. We always had to be partially stocked on fresh food for random mall rushes. I know quality at BK has gone down from what I've eaten lately though.
Contrary to popular belief the burgers are actually cooked over an open flame.

Yeah but BK used to nuke the burgers too. Dont know if they do it now. I worked there as well, but only for a short time. The manager was a little scrawny dickhead with napoleonitis of the head so I told him to go fuck himself and walked out on dinner rush.
