Scott Keith's fast food review week 1. Oct 28 - 05:01 pm EST
Opinion by Korrosive-
Wow, what a week it's been. I've been so stressed out over work, computer problems, and the lack of a Chris Benoit push, i've decided to start doing something different. Considering that I have the appetite of a Viscera who hasn't eaten in a week, I've decided to create a weekly column dedicated to fast food restaurants. I've based my criteria on many things.
1) Psychology. When the person taking your order is able to effectively tell a story by successfully telling the person exactly what you ordered. This is done by perfect voice pitch, the way the person holds the microphone, and the workrate of serving the food.
2) Spots. The way I rate this is the way the counter attendant does high risk stuff like breathing on the food and overflowing the lid on your soft drink.
3) Pacing. Normally when I rate wrestling, if the wrestlers can pace themselves, I give high marks. Fast food is not the case. I'm a huge wilderbeast damnit, and I want my food as soon as possible.
4) tenderness of the meat. This is extremely important. Keep that in mind.

Opening Combo: Wendy's swiss melt.
When I first walked into the place, I was amazed at how clean it was. These guys do a great job at making the presentation of their building to perfection. The place wasn't too busy so I didn't have to wait long for my food. Wilfred did a good job in asking me exactly what I wanted, if I wanted it upsized (what a stupid question to ask me, but I can forgive) 5 minutes later, I was sitting down with a fresh meal. On first bite (or after I was finished the burger) I was a little dissapointed in how the meat was crispy at the ends. I'm sure the cook phoned it home. The fries were excellent and the soft drink really isn't much of a factor, but the burger was excellent. BONZO BURGERZO! ***3/4
Bacon Mushroom melt. Considering i've already had a feel for the fries and drink and the service, ill stick with the burgers from here out. Heres a basic formula: mushrooms, bacon, cheese, meat. Is it that hard? I was very dissapointed with the pacing it took to make this burger. 8 minutes too long I waited. As for the taste itself, the cheese didn't really feel all that cooked. Isn't this called a melt?? DUD.
Chicken Cordeu Bleu. Ahhhh, here we go. Not since Angle/Benoit have I been licking my chops. I've been anticipating this burger for quite a long time now, about 12 hours. Considering it's chicken, it only took them 6 minutes to cook the thing, and there was nothing raw about it!!!! See, is it that hard? The actual burger itself was excellent, however I must take off a few points for extra spices. I mean, I was hitting the toilet faster than Kobe hitting the.....ok, that was mean. Excellent, excellent way to finish up an evening ****1/2.
Final thought: Excellent day. The Bacon mushroom melt is a strong reccomendation to avoid, but at all costs, check out the 2 other burgers. Until then, BUY THE BOOK!
