Take Out

I wonder if Chinese restaurants were the founders of fast food. If you stop to think about it there are some striking similarities. You order pre-made dishes by number (personally I like the number 82), get it packaged in uniquely-folded, fun-shaped, paperboard pagodas. And with each order you receive an individually wrapped fortune cookie. It’s a formula that is unique to Chinese restaurants – and McDonald’s. In particular, their Happy Meal. Technically, Chinese Take Out is like several adult Happy Meals only it costs more, has more MSG and instead of french fries you get copious amounts of white rice.

What say you?
