You could get your Happy Meal delivered

If you live in a developing country, that is: In the U.S., land o'plenty, so the golden arches will always remain a convenience as a drive-through window, but in cities that are congested and land is scarce, McDonald's has taken to delivery.

Where would you have to go to get your Big Mac and fries delivered right to your door with a delivery charge of anywhere from 50 cents to a dollar? Ronald McDonald commissions fleets of delivery people in cars or on motorbikes in cities like Manila, Taipei, Cairo, for a total of about 25 cities, with a half dozen more in the works.

Really, I think L.A. is congested enough of a city that McDonald's delivery could work here. I can't tell you how many times I've woken up on a weekend morning craving an Egg McMuffin, but was a little too, uh, "dehydrated" to get in the car and get to a McDonald's before 10:30AM!

Next Epicurean Masters event planned for Egypt

Last month, Epicurean Masters of the World held an opulent feast in Bangkok for the extraordinary price of $25,000 per person. Their next location has been unveiled as Egypt, and though it is lower in price - "just" $10,000 a head - this gourmet adventure is scheduled to be much larger than the last event. With the ancient Pyramids of Giza as a backdrop, apparently thirty 3-star Michelin chefs will be preparing some of their most exquisite and culturally diverse creations for a planned crowd of 500 attendees.

Though admittedly the price tag associated with these events sounds extremely excessive, proceeds from the dinners are donated to charities local to the chosen locations. This event is scheduled for December of 2008.
