Thank You, Drive Through
Inspired by one of today's posts on Tummymonsters.com, I thought I'd get this off of my chest once and for all. I cringe whenever I hear someone order an EXPRESSO. There's no “X” in the word, folks. If you don't know how to pronounce it, you shouldn't be allowed to: (a) serve it; (b) drink it; or (c) live. Then, if I ask for cream, I mean real cream… heavy cream… manufacturer's cream… heavy whipping cream. Not half and half. Not a non-dairy creamer. CREAM. That's what I asked for, and that's what I expect you to understand. Give it to me or get out of my way. Don't say you have something when you really have something else. You wouldn't walk into Burger King, ask for a Whopper, and expect to get a Quarter Pounder with Cheese in return, would you? You shouldn't be eating fast food in the first place, but I'll save that argument for another time. My point is: learn about what the hell you're eating or offering.

If YOU don't know how to pronounce it you shouldn't be allowed to talk about it on TV !

It's food that KILLS you. Go to some fast food web sites and read the nutrition facts on their food…and then research those things…you won't want to eat there after you find out.

I think everyone should be required to work at McDonald's (or similar grease pit) for at least a month. I guarantee you will think twice about eating there.

I don't care what's in it — I'd sell my soul for a Sonic cheese coney right now!

Alright, the 'X' is silent. I'm not going to argue with an Italian.

Wow, and all this time since I stumbled on your blog I thought you had lost touch with your Italian heritage.
Being of Italian descent myself, the eXpresso thing is a pet peeve of mine too, i also really get angry when people call one cookie a biscotti, when actually it's a biscotto.
enough ranting for me
Good job Chris!
