A study of employees aged 18 to 30 shows many are too busy to produce daily culinary delights, so instead whip up dishes like pizza, pesto and pasta, soup, stir fry, burgers and cheese on toast. One in four [...] from spiegel.de: San Bernardino, California, has gone from being the birthplace of McDonald’s, one of the world’s most successful companies, to a mound of unpaid debts. It’s a sad example of what a lack of infrastructure investment and an almost religious aversion to higher taxes have done to cities across the United States. Ketchup and mustard, always in exactly the same amounts — this is the secret of the serving machine that [...] VALLEJO (CBS13) – Women were shocked to learn that they were being secretly videotaped while using the restroom at a Vallejo Long John Silvers restaurant. Police say a teenage employee at the fast food restaurant was capturing their every move. “That’s disgusting,” said one woman. “It’s a complete violation.” Female residents were creeped out learning what one customer allegedly found inside the Long John Silvers. “In Long John Silvers? I go over there all [...] Chick-fil-A stopped funding traditional-marriage groups in an effort to open a new Chicago restaurant, but the company initially kept quiet about the decision, prompting gay rights groups to speculate that the company feared a backlash from conservative customers.

The photos of long lines and traffic jams reveal the extent of the restaurant’s support–for some it’s about traditional values and for others it’s about freedom of religious exercise and speech in the face of government intimidation. There are [...] A powerful New York politician claims she was just speaking as a private citizen when she tried to run Chick-fil-A out of town, but she used her official letterhead and even invoked her position as City Council speaker to apply pressure on the embattled chicken chain. New York City Council Speaker Christine Quinn, who has mayoral aspirations, sent a letter to New York University president John Sexton on Saturday asking the [...] Sarah Palin has Tweeted her support for Chick-Fil-A’s anti-gay tirade claiming the chicken sandwich chain was ‘a great business’. Just before 10pm last night, the Republican posted a tweet saying she ‘stopped by’ Chick-Fil-A to support the embattled restaurant, which sparked controversy after publicly shunning homosexual couples last week. The former Christian politician also posted a photograph of her and her husband on her Facebook page, grinning as they clutched their Chick-Fil-A [...] Dead woman was ‘propped up in a corner and had a napkin placed on her head’ Staff at a McDonald’s in Croatia allegedly carried on selling burgers despite the fact a customer had dropped dead in front of the counter. After efforts to revive her failed, the woman was instead propped up in the corner of the restaurant and had [...] Burger King announced that all of its eggs and pork will come from cage-free chickens and pigs by 2017 causing a whopper of a shift toward more humane treatment of animals. The decision on Wednesday by the world’s second-biggest fast-food restaurant raises the bar for other companies seeking to appeal to the rising consumer demand for more humanely produced fare. The decision by Burger King, which uses hundreds of millions of eggs [...] Paul McGuire As the economic pressures increase in the United States and across the world, people have a tendency to retreat into tribal, ethnic and racial groups. That tendency is amplified by radical groups on both the right and the left , who seek to use racial conflict as a means to maintaining and acquiring political power. The stage is being set by the media and other powers in [...] A small plane crashed into a Florida shopping mall and burst into flames tonight, injuring at least five people and sending shoppers running from the building. Several people at the Northgate Shopping Center in Deland, Florida called emergency services at 7.20 pm to report that an aircraft had plunged into the complex, according to the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office. Witnesses described seeing the plane sputtering just before it plummeted and hit the [...] Channel3000.com A federal court has ordered the city of Madison to pay members of a gun-rights group $10,000 to settle a lawsuit. The judgment last week closes a case that developed when police cited five people for disorderly conduct after they openly carried handguns into a Culver’s fast-food restaurant on the city’s East Side last year. A Wisconsin Public Radio report said the citations were eventually dropped, but the group sued [...] IRVINE (CBS) — A cashier at a fast food restaurant in Irvine has been fired after insulting two Asian customers. KNX 1070?s Mike Landa reports it all stems from two racially-charged names that were printed on a receipt.

It [...] A Vancouver restaurant has come up with an interesting solution to the men-can’t-aim problem: Ban men from peeing standing up. Recently, my wife and I had brunch at the Edible Canada bistro on Granville Island. When I went to use the facilities, I was surprised to see just one unisex bathroom with about six private stalls and a communal sink area. Even more surprising, though, was the sign above [...] NBCSanDiego Images of police interviewing a second highway shooting victim in a fast food restaurant parking lot in National City at Plaza Boulevard.
