My Brother, My Brother And Me: MBMBaM 458: Race Island: A Horse Show

May 8, 2019 12:06 PM

A criminal crime happened in front of a breathless nation, and we're just supposed to sit back and just like, celebrate a weak horse? This will not stand. We will not stand for it. Suggested talking point: A Robbery on the Racetrack, Darth Navarro, Batilda, Big Awesome Bones, Wet and International Hamburgers, Susan Office, A Thrifty Snip

This was a really funny one and I'm so looking forward to the end of munch squad. It was fine occasionally but then it started being every week and something new will be great. Or not!

I enjoyed the future names bit very much.

I have said for years that McD's should have a huge flagship store in Times Square with 4 or 5 floors that has a different selection from international menus on each floor. First floor is the US (with permanent McRib and maybe some old school favorites like McDLT or McPizza), second floor is Europe (with beer on tap and the Royale with Cheese), third floor is India (veggie burgers and McPaneer), fourth is East Asia (Japan/China/Korea/etc) and fifth floor is Aus/NZ/Other. They could even have an exchange program where they offer their best employees from around the world the chance to visit the US while they staff the store on a temporary basis.

TM, TM, TM. Call me, Ronald.

The current Times Square McDonalds is a shitshow so anything would be an improvement...

Years ago I went to The Coca Cola Experience or something like that, in Las Vegas maybe?, and they had soda machines that would dispense all kinds of interesting regional coke products from around the world. That was fun, and I endorse Rock Steady's proposal.

There's a McDonald's Global Menu Restaurant at the McD global HQ building in Chicago, a few blocks from where I work, with a rotating menu of international stuff. Most of it is.. kind of bad?

It's right next to this, though.
