and the “schnitzel” part suggests “vague gesture in the direction of something German-ish.”
Geeze, people! It’s just a cute name.
Next thing they’ll be outrage that you can’t catch a train uptown at a Subway and that there is no such position as Burger King or Dairy Queen.
And furthermore, there were clearly more than five guys in that restaurant.
I always assumed the five guys were the ingredients in the burgers, at least until they started expanding and going through more product.
The world of fast food is a dark one.
Yer missin’ the point.
I can get Burgers at burger King and Dairy products at Dairy Queen. But I can’t get wienerschnitzel at wienerschnitzel.
It’s as if I opened a restaurant in Germany called Fresh Rare Steaks that was, say, a vegan restaurant.
The secret sauce?
Unless you’re a hipster and the name is ironic.
Somehow I think Eleanor Roosevelt’s legacy is safe.
Basically criminalizing being trans.
For no possible reason except pure hatefulness.
Come to China. One of Dairy Queen’s competitors is awesomely named Dairy Fairy.
I recall seeing a cartoon years ago showing Colonel Sanders being taken away in handcuffs by the police and a bystander says to another, “They finally found out what was in the secret sauce”. Gahan Wilson’s work peerhaps?
I would not be surprised one bit if in the next week Rip van Simple issues an executive order pulling all federal funds from states which do not “give attention to this matter” by copying Kansas.
Not content with politicizing the US hockey team’s gold medal, the White House is now releasing deepfake videos of the players insulting Canada.
From The Guardian:
US ice hockey star Brady Tkachuk has said he does not appreciate an AI video released by the White House that shows him insulting Canadians.
Tkachuk played in the Americans’ victory over Canada at the Winter Olympics on Sunday, which secured the US men their first gold medal since 1980. In the wake of that win, the White House’s TikTok account published video of Tkachuk saying: “They booed our national anthem, so I had to come out and teach those maple syrup eating fuckers a lesson.”
Tkachuk never said those words and the video, which has had more than 10m views, is labelled as AI-generated.
Meanwhile, it would appear that Zohran has once again played Trump like a fiddle.
Yeah, the “Let’s Build” is great, since Trump believes his own PR about him being a great builder/developer. Massage his ego and he’ll do anything for you.
Canadians eat maple syrup??
No red blooded Trump supporter, not at 2:00 a.m., not in a Waffle House, drunk and chewing…
Trump’s election advisor has a plan to federalize the midterm elections:
“The President of the United States may invoke emergency powers in response to an election emergency involving foreign interference, provided certain statutory and procedural requirements are met. The authority to do so primarily derives from the National Emergencies Act (NEA) and the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA).”
I’ve not been to a Waffle House. Do they serve actual maple syrup?
…and it’s not a very good one. It won’t hold up any more than when he tried to do this exact same thing last year.
Not nearly as much as Americans think we do.
Same goes for poutine, really.
Google sez:
Waffle House uses a proprietary, non-maple table syrup, often identified as
Blackburn’s syrup. It is a maple-flavored corn syrup rather than 100% pure maple syrup. You can purchase bottles of this syrup directly through the official Waffle House Web Store or sometimes ask for extra to-go containers at the restaurant.
OK, I’ve never had the syrup, but it is not maple syrup, and technically called “pancake syrup” at least at the grocery store. I’m sure maga is proud to eschew that woke Canadian stuff. (even though it probably tastes a 100 times better … or is that 1500 percent better.
