Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
I'd
like to confess some sins of the edible variety.
I may be a slashfoodie, a gourmet wannabe, a woman whose credentials even include the word "chef" after "position" on her résumé. But still, when I'm hungry and busy and in the car for any reason, I'll stop at the burger joint more often than not.
At least it's Burgerville. The Pacific Northwest-based fast food chain is the slowest on the burgers-and-fries scale. They get their beef from Oregon-grown, free-range cows. They get their cheddar cheese from Tillamook. They use local tomatoes when they're in season, they only make onion rings a few months a year from Walla Walla sweets. Their salads feature Oregon hazelnuts and blue cheese and they even offer apple slices in their kids' meals.
It may be fast food, but I still feel a little bit good about it. Now if I could only figure out a justification for skipping breakfast...
