Welcome to McTux’s…
Imagine it. A fast food franchise with the standard menu of any other link in the chain. The difference? All of the ingredients are available to play with and make new creations – you have the freedom to try new uses for the machines and for the individual patties, buns, pocket-shaped hot apple pies, etc. A true, open-source fast food chain.
Of course, as long as you’ve worked at pretty much any standard fast food restaurant, you’ll realize that the employees have been running their own underground open-source restaurant for decades. Check out this LiveJournal entry with the accompanying comments discussion where McDonalds’ employees discuss the bootleg foods they’ve made in their breaks at the World’s Blandest Restaurant (“Mediocrity served daily!”). Some of the creations sound like they would be much better than the menu offerings they’re based on. Too bad I can’t really walk into a McDonalds’ and request an Orange Julius – I might actually eat there once in a while, then.
I’ve done that before a lot – but with turkey deli meat and mustard… and.. without the filet steamer… what does the steamer add? this is interesting.
Also. An Orange Julis. 21 once cold cup, ice cream, orange juice, put on a flurry lid, and mix it carefully in the flurry machine. mmmmmmmmm.
