A couple of years ago KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken) used the following slogan in their ads, “There’s fast food, and then there is KFC.” Although they were trying to suggest that their food was in a class above the typical fast food restaurants, I took it to mean “slow service” (which I found to be true on more than one occasion).

I had my first “Whopper” from Burger King in 1966 in Chicago. As a kid, I loved their char grilled burgers with fresh ingredients. I haven’t had one in years but recently I ordered a Whopper at our local Burger King and was incredibly disappointed with the service and product. I got something that was whipped together with little expertise and mashed down. Frankly, it didn’t resemble anything like what I first experienced 41 years ago.
