(Mountain View, CA) \u2014 In the small circle that is his family, friends, and acquaintances, Micah Laaker is known as a man who loves fast food. A person who decries Supersize Me as nothing but a farce, a snobbish, poorly-executed whiner\u2019s unscientific smear campaign just to look good to his vegan girlfriend. A person who wholly acknowledges there is nothing wholesome or nutritional about fast food, but does acknowledge the addictiveness of the taste and price point.<\/p>\n
As such a person, many in his circle occasionally ask his opinion on the nuances of fast foodery. \u201cHey, dude. Which fast food fried chicken joint should I hit today?\u201d (His reply? \u201cKFC, unless Popeyes is within range.\u201d) \u201cWhat shouldn’t I get at McDonald\u2019s?\u201d (“Easy answer: Filet-o-Fish, the McRib, and any of their steamed-not-grilled meats\u2026 it\u2019s like someone’s just breathing hot and heavy over your meat. Not a good way to start a meal.\u201d) \u201cWhat menu change has you most irked?\u201d (\u201cSubway\u2019s inconceivable dropping of Spicy Mustard as an available condiment.\u201d) \u201cWho serves the best fountain drinks?\u201d (\u201cNo one has beat McDonald\u2019s.\u201d) \u201cWhat does Burger King do right?\u201d (\u201cThe Whopper, old-school chicken sandwich, and their previous generation of french fries. NOT their current abysmally-poor-tasting generation of fries.\u201d)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
