Just an Ordinary Day…
Yesterday, I was minding my own business, wrapping up work with the last few patients of the day, when a few hunger pangs struck. I didn’t think too much about it, but eventually once I left the office, I drove back toward home. About halfway on the trip, hunger set it again, [...]

Sad tidings, folks: if you hadn’t already heard about this, the 99¢ Filet-o-Fish promotion at McDonald’s [MCD] finishes today, after a wildly successful run for a little over one week.

A Little Bit:
McDonald’s [MCD] is launching its 99¢ Filet-o-Fish deal starting tomorrow. It’s been more than two years since McD’s has offered the Filet-o-Fish sandwich at a reasonable price, so it’s been a long time coming. Some unnamed McD’s executives have responded in the past that, given the existence of their Dollar Menu, the need [...]

While researching the Salmonellosis alerts and updates (for example, here and here), and the various restaurants’ responses toward it (like here and here), I had occasion to explore McDonald’s site.
Sure, McDonald’s has maintained a Web site (caution: watch out for the Flash!) for several years. But in keeping with the ‘times, it now offers podcasts [...]

Fuddruckers: The Setup
A few days ago (this past Thursday (6/26/2008, ‘kay?)), I went over to Fuddruckers to celebrate Tom’s birthday.
Several days before that (on 6/15/2008, in fact), we’d gone over to Fudd’s, only to find out that they had yanked their tomatoes, due to the Salmonellois outbreak. As we sat in our large circular booth, [...]
