New York Times’ Worst Foods in America

Lifehacker pointed out a New York Times book review of some of the worst foods to eat in America. I was a little worried that one of my ice cream favorites would be on the list, but the summary actually pointed out a more surprising winner:

Worst Fast Food Meal: McDonald’s Chicken Selects Premium Breast Strips with creamy ranch sauce. Chicken sounds healthy, but not at 870 calories.

As a person who loves her fried meat or potatoes with a side of ranch or mayonnaise, this was an eye opener.

For you frequent business travelers, take note of this guilty pleasure:

Finger Food at Wendy’s

You think it’s an urban legend.
You’ve heard similar stories before — the rat burger at Jack in the Box, the horsemeat (again, at Jack in the Box), the deep fried rat in the french fry deep fryer at McDonald’s.

But apparently this one is REAL.

A 20-year old woman bit into a FINGER at a Wendy’s in San Jose.
No kidding.

Now, this is unconfirmed but my friend told me that one report claimed she told the Wendy’s employees about it. They nonchalantly said that it “was a vegetable.” Uh huh.

What are the best burgers for grilling?

Do the contents of a good burger (for the grill, not the broiler) always have to resemble what’s in a meatloaf recipe?
Or…are the ingredients the same but the method of cooking makes them taste different?

Experts, please expound….
