This is an interesting link.

Ulysses, Kansas of all places.

Times change.

Populations change.

That is the story of thousands of American towns over the centuries.

We must adapt.

In reply to No fries---cheeps!

Fries are Franch. They were offering 'mercan food.

And just in case anyone assumes the parodied crankiness was anything other than language limitations, there was (and still is) this printed message:

as long as you want a cheezbuger, cheeps, pepsi or coffee to go.

No fries---cheeps!

I know I just put a Times article on your other thread, but this one other is appropriate on this thread, I think. Also on the front page:

BURGER RESTAURANT POSSIBLE, Ulysses, Kansas!

Sometimes it seems only outsiders (or immigrants) can really see what's needed when and where to work out successfully? Everyone else has blinders on?

Remember Belushi doing the Greek immigrant version of "cheezbuger, cheezbuger, cheezbuger, no coke, pepsi"?

HAHAAHAH

Well I was worried that this blog might demonstrate exactly how boring and moronic my life has become.

But I swear I have never watched any of the shows you list except for this restaurant impossible.

You find a sick organism; a small small business and you make it healthy again!

You do not do so by sitting in some board room.

You do it by laying hands on the sick f*&k just like everyone else involved in the operation.

No franchises involved.

Maybe a total of fifteen employees including the owner employee(s).

I find it illuminating!

Don't you dare slander Paula Deen! This woman has given me a whole new appreciation for the magic that is butter.

Well, we saw on The Apprentice that big bosses like Donald Trump, and his kids, know everything, and that working hard and passing the buck were the twin paths to success. Otherwise, "you're fired."

The we saw on Kitchen Nightmares, and this Restaurant Impossible show, that cussing out owners and cooks that don't use fresh food and a limited menu was actually kindness in disguise.

And we saw on Undercover Boss that know-it-all, cussing bosses really have hearts of gold when confronted with the plight of the suffering workers. Just like the future King in The Prince and the Pauper, or Charles Coburn in The Devil and Miss Jones.

Just watch TV, and you'll realize that they just want the best for us.

In reply to Personally, I won't watch

The only cannibalism I see portrayed on the Food Network is on that paula Deen show.

I did a blog on her.

I actually saw her perform on the Christian Robertson crucifiction channel thingy!

She uses more fat, sugar, white flour and other poisons in her concoctions than anyone else around.

There are rumors that the local DA is investigating her on some manslaughter beef!

Personally, I won't watch

Personally, I won't watch these shows til they start cooking human flesh.

I'm tired of all this fooferaw, all in the name of roasted animal.

BORING!!!

Let's cut to the chase. The viewers should get to watch an episode, vote on the least worthy employee, and then, as the credits roll, you get to witness said lower employee being slaughtered, hung up and bled out in a back room, gutted (no giblets!)... then braised (lightly), maybe a nice maple sauce, bit of garnish, brains in nice china bowls set to the side, then the whole thing fed to the hungry patrons, moaning with pleasure.

NOW THAT WOULD BE TELEVISION WORTH WATCHING!!!

Also, good blog Dick! I may now watch this guy as I stumble cross the dial.

In reply to LOL. For the last couple of

they could certainly frame a show like that Momoe.

But there are shows that demonstrate how to cook cheaply and efficiently.

There is too much salt and fat being thrown into dishes on the food channel and it bothers me.

What I really love to do is hit the internet for recipes. And there are even how-to videos.

The beauty of your idea would be to take us back to the days of rationing and show us how Joe and Jane got through the day on the basics.

It was a time when we really were all together on the same team!
