I found out from Fast Food Maven that McDonald's Canada is offering three special menu items in honor of the 2010 Winter Olympics. 
McDonald's Hash Browns is described by the chain as "shredded potato hash brown patties that are prepared so they’re fluffy on the inside and crispy and toasty on the outside."
Very similar to the Greek gyro, the Döner or Döner Kebab is Turkish in origin (it means "rotating roast") but has spread across much of Europe as affordable street food. Spitz is a restaurant specializing in European-style (specifically Spain) döners with two locations in Southern California. I went to the Little Tokyo Spitz to try their most basic sandwich: the Classic Döner Sandwich.
My first meal in Japan was a takeout bento. I thought I'd start the new year with the long-awaited posts of my trip to Asia (AKA The Asia Trip).
While Arby's Italian Toasted Sub is typically around 4 dollars, Arby's usually sends around a coupon for two toasted subs for $4 which is pretty much the only time I buy them.
While it may look a bit sparse and lacking in the fillings department, it actually fit quite well together and tasted pretty good and well-balanced. The veggies were relatively fresh, you could get a good taste for the meat, and the despite appearances, the ciabatta roll was crisp and did not overpower the rest of the ingredients. I was mildly surprised at the taste after taking a peek inside the sandwich.
As you can see, the side view is especially lacking but the taste will surprise you. I heartily recommend this sandwich when you feel like an Italian Sub.
Why is a pizza "carry out" and not "take out" like everything else? Maybe it's supposed to be so heavy that you can't just "take" it out and you have to "carry" it?!
The problem with pizzas is that since they come in pies, people tend to overeat to finish the pie. It's a psychological thing. You really shouldn't ever eat more than one or two slices at most.
Coke is coming out with a small denomination of its normal can. The slimmer, smaller cans will be 7.5 ounces and 90 calories (compared to 12 ounces and 140 calories). I think they have (had?) a squat, fat can that was (is?) about 3/5th the height of their normal can (but same diameter) that was 100 calories. But I always though that a slimmer, smaller can would be better marketing and here it is! They already have smaller, slimmer cans in Japan though for roughly 50 cents a pop. But they also have smaller fridges in Japan and smaller houses and... well, you get the idea.
