They have done it with "junk food," but I don't recall starting from prepared fast food.

ETA: They would probably have a hard time getting Burger King, KFC, McDonalds, et al to pony up the sponsorship money.

I recall a vending machine challenge -- i.e., take stuff like Cheetos and candy bars from the vending machine and make something gourmet, but I don't recall a fast food challenge. It's a good idea.

I don't know. But it seemed like something they would do. Or maybe that could be a secret ingredient on Iron Chef: "The secret ingredient is....fast food! So now America, with an open heart and an empty stomach, I say unto you in the words of my uncle: Allez cuisine!"

Speaking of reality shows, I have just learned that season 1 of The Mole is on Hulu.* This season is pretty cool for a reality show--smart, clever and complicated games. Very fun to watch. They got away from what made it a fun show in the following seasons because not enough people were smart enough to follow it so they had to dumb it down and the challenges became more survivor/big brotherish and were no longer as interesting.

They also did it with food from a convenience store.

I didn't think one was allowed to eat a brisket by way of sandwich.

Oh contraire. It is quite tasty consumed between slices of squishy cheap white bread, with pickles, onions, jalapenos, and just a bit of sauce.

Although I tend to go for the simpler approach of just a little sauce and a big appetite.

I loved The Mole! Had they kept it complicated (and advertised it better), it could have been like The Amazing Race, but dumbing it down killed it.

Anyone know the going rate on a high-end blow job?

Butter on a brisket sandwich is not bad. Doesn't add much, but not an abomination. Toasted bread would somehow cross the line. Not sure why, but thin* white bread, straight from the bag on the counter, is the only way to make a brisket sandwich.

*I only say "thin" so that you don't think of "Texas Toast" - a monstrosity I first experienced in Tennessee. I was unaware of my home state's culinary fame for bad bread until my teens. It was a tough weekend, but the LSD helped put it all in perspective. It's not like we wore cheese on our heads or had baked potatoes on our license plates. I worked through it. All better now. Really.
