A Place Not To Eat at !!!!

[Uncle Willy]

I very rarely eat at any of the fast food slop shutes but tonight for the second time in my life ( and the last ) I sampled the fare at Jack In The Box. I picked up two cheeseburgers and fries. The fries were worthless ( and hit the garbage can )and the cheeseburgers mind boggling. The cheese on the burgers was some kind of liquid artificial cheese painted on with a brush or whatever and was thinner than a sheet of newspaper. The catsup and other garbage was also painted on. There was no tomato, lettuce, onion, or nothing. The hamburger was bitter and probably was some of that crap from China that is 60% ground up cardboard. I couldn't even eat half of this maggot food and gave it to my dog who wasn't to tickled with it either.

I pity the youner generation who has grown up on this pig slop and doesn't know what real resturant food tastes like. I still remember what real hamburgers, cheeseburgers, fies, and malts taste like. If I was younger I'd open up a resturant and serve real food so people could see what it looks and tastes like. They probably wouldn't know what to do with a bag of real french fries. Haven't had any of those in decades except what I make at home.

By working construction work, I have heard all kinds of horror stories and they laugh about it. One guy worked in a restaurant that kept all the bread from people's plates and made bread putting out of it. I heard one chain mixes oatmeal with their ground beef. Hey, they have to make a profit some how. Other's said they spit in costumer's food if they gave them a hard time. I prefer to eat at home. I eat a lot of venison and rainbow trout. We also have a lot of canned food from our garden.

I'll disagree with you for the first time. I really like Jack in the Box, especially the Sourdough Jack. There isn't a Jack in the Box for hundreds of miles for me, but when I'm on the road I always stop at least once or twice. I also really like Big Macs and the fries at McDs. I have many friends who say why don't you eat a real burger? To me a Big Mac isn't a hamburger it's a Big Mac, tastes good, terrible for you, I still like em. Same with Jack in the Box.

Nothing wrong with a hand formed half pounder and some fresh cut fries at home either. I'll take my burger with blue cheese and my fries with plenty of salt and Heinz Ketchup, please. Also like tartar sauce on fries but even I'll admit that's a tad askew.

To each his own.

The E. coli damages little kids kidneys, sometimes to the point where they have to go on dialysis for the rest of their lives. In severe cases, it will kill them. I worked on a research project about that specific E coli 0157 strain many years ago.

"Jack In The Box" was one of the restaurants a few years back that had an outbreak of that E.coli in some of their burgers. Scary......

Yeah at one time McDonalds had earthworms in their hamburger. Fast food joints have always used filler in their hamburger to make it go further. When I was a kid people in a neighborhood a few streets over came up missing their dogs and cats. The problem was solved when they traced the problem to a hamburger joint up the street where the owner was capturing these animals, butchering them, and grinding them up for his hamburger. I forget how many years in the slammer he got - but a bunch. Nowadays it would be considered fattening the bottom line. You're right about the spitting into food and much worse Another one is peeing in the coffee pot. Also you don't know how fresh the food is or if you're getting leftovers or scraps or stuff that is days old.

Grocery stores are just as bad. They change pull dates and soak rotten meat in chemicals to make it look fresh again, mix old hamburger with freash hamburger. Greed has no bounds.

THe health inspectors here caught a guy in a Chinese resturant chopping his vegetables on the dirty kitchen floor. They have a segment on a TV news channel out here called "Dirty Dining" where they slip in and check out the kitchens in resturants and they find some real horrors

Yeah I remember now they had some sort of problem but couldn't remember what it was. I won't be eating any more of their slop anyway. I don't trust any fast food joint. You don't know what kind of disease is flaoting around in those joints and their health standards suck. Plus here the places all have a bunch of illegals working and you don't know what they are packing around. We now have this antibiotic resistant "Superbug" floating around in our schools and hospitals that's going to play havoc with public health. Has it hit Canada yet?

You have no taste buds. The fast food has destroyed them Even the alleged fresh meat you buy at the grocery store tastes nothing like it did years ago. Course if you'd ever tour a meat packing plant you'd become an instant vegetrarian, You can't believe what goes on inside those joints and what happens to the meat and what goes into it.

I was down in NY City yesterday at a coin show and on the way home stopped and bought a big box of White Castles. You would die Uncle Willy. I still love them. I think about you with every bite (they're only about two or three bites a piece.)

At the coin show I made some progress on my Walking Liberty Half collection. I thought I liked Mercury Dimes but I really love this coin. Found a few great deals and got one of the keys out of the way 1921 plus finished up all but 2 in the 40s. Ran out of patience and cash. Went down to get a 1932 D and S Washington Quarter but couldn't find one I liked the looks of at a price I thought was fair. I post this because I had come up with the notion of spending my MD clad finds on Walking Liberty Half dollars. I spent a bit (maybe 75 bucks) over what I have found so far this year and my still do it.

We have an old fashioned butcher shop up here where I get all my beef and pork. Costs extra but well worth it. Never buy meat at Walmart except for maybe chicken and I am a Walmart addict. Strange because Sam's has decent meat.

I was stationed in Norfolk and frequently drove up the VA peninsula where there were two huge chicken processing plants one of which, Tyson I think, offered tours. We had a couple of hours to kill one day and took the tour. My only comment was and is I can't believe they offer tours of these places. They then offered samples after the tour, prepared in various ways. I was still able to eat afterward, but there were a few people who didn't even make it all the way to the end of the tour.

My taste buds are fine. I just like certain fast food. Here's some pics just for you UW.

I grew up on the bisquit-sized White Castle burgers back when they were 12 for a buck but they don't even taste the same anymore. The originals were to die for. I had some when I was back in the Midwest in 1990 and they sucked compared to the oldtimers. Tyson has been busted by the government several times for firing their American employees and hiring all illegals that they paid to have trucked in. I don't buy Tyson stuff. I buy no groceries at Wal-Mart and very rarely shop there. I haven't been in a Wal-Mart in years and we have one on every corner.

I could tell you some real good stories. Aside from being inside slaughter houses and packing plants I have a friend who was a government inspector in these slop shutes and he really knows the dirt.

They're still pretty tasty. That box of 30 WCs costs 15 bucks and change. With cheese (like I like them) add 6 bucks. That's the rip off. You know how small they are. 6 bucks for 30 little tiny pieces of cheese.

If you ever need a White Castle fix, the frozen ones at you grocery store are ok. Not nearly as good as from the actual stores but acceptable. If you thaw them completely then heat them up for a few seconds in a moist paper towel they approximate the real thing.

Since you brought it up. The New York Times listed my tiny town as the fast growing illegal population in NY. Three moved in next to me and every day they add to their numbers. The number of illegals an apartment can hold is the number of beds the apartment can hold times 2. They are loud. They fight. They are violent. At this stage their violence is usually directed toward other illegals but some day soon they will realize robbing Americans is more lucrative than robbing each other. The old addage about illegals doing the work Americans will no longer do is BS. It is true in a sense. Americans will not work for 3 bucks an hour, for 12 hours a day, and can't be intimidated with threats of being deported. Americans require things like FICA contributions and workmans comp. There is one local diner owner who must employ 50 or 60 of them. All day long he drives around dropping off the off-going shift and picking up the new shift. He is foreign born and I have heard that he charges his employees 5 bucks a ride which means his illegal workers pay him a much better wage than he pays them.

I have to stop. I could go on and on and on. Remember you brought it up. Bah!

I was an election and worked at slaughter house. The employees would take a cup and drink the fresh blood as they were lopping off the heads of cattle. Shows you what type of mind they have.
Later I made weekly deliveries at a chicken slaughter house and I had to quit eating chicken. It was the smell for me. I could smell the stink in every piece of chicken I tried to eat.

 

[Uncle Willy]

I tried the frozen ones and they sucked. After all these years I can still remember what the originals tasted like -YUMMY! We used to have a Coney Island cafe up the street from our house owned by an old Greek who made his own Coney Island sauce and his coneys were out of this world and two for fifteen cents. I can still taste those puppies. None of the food today is like it used to be as it was all natural back then and our meat didn't come from some third world sh%t hole. Back in those days I ate a ton of White Castle burgers. DAng they were good. I see the price has gone up considerably.

I don't envy you the beaner problem but your esteemed governor wants to give them all drivers licenses so they can vote for him. Our stupid state hands out licenses to them. WE have a house down the street with at least five or six families of them living in it. And I think they smuggle others in. Been going to turn them into ICE but haven't gotten around to it yet. They are quiet and bother no one - and probably for good reason. But we have nuisance laws here. If the cops are called out to a place three times in any one month on a nuisance call the people are evicted. I just love it. WE had a bunch across the street who were throwing loud drunken parties and playing live music you could hear eight blocks away. Our windows rattled from the noise. One night we sent eight cops over there and we ain't heard a peep out of them since and that was a year or so ago. They got the message when those eight burly cops showed up and started tossing drunks out the door. You should check and see if you have such laws. If people don't wake up and start screaming they are going to take over this country. There are about 40 million of them here now - not that phony 12 million the government and news media keeps tossing at you. And it's costing the taxpayers about $330 billion a year to take care of them.

Hello Uncle Willy,
The kids today are so use to inferior food, I doubt they would even like an all beef hamburger and most of them don't even know what a malt is.
