Real Fast Food

Little Caesar's Pizza has become one of my favored fast food chains. It is not because the food is spectacular, or the services is exemplary. It is simply because it is fast.

When I pull up to a McDonald's drive-thru, I do not expect the world's finest cuisine to come through the window. What I would really appreciate is getting my order quickly. I don't have to have it "my way"(sorry for mixing chains), or have the cow slaughtered in front of me to assure freshness, I just want a decent burger and I want it now. I mean, isn't that the point of fast food? I don't go to Burger King expecting to see the soda list or a selection of cheeses for my Whopper. Just slap the thing on a bun, add condiments and get me on my way.

Now you may be saying, "Doug, that's the problem. Everybody's in such a hurry nowadays. No one takes the time to really enjoy food and dining any more." To that I say, "You go to McDonald's for that? You really need to start taking your medication a little more regularly." If I want a fine dining experience, it certainly does not include secret sauce.

Little Caesar's, on the other hand, pulls my pizza out of a warmer, charges me five bucks, and I'm on my way. Simple. Fast. Done. Not great food, but a great concept.

Fast food.
