Fair enough.

I actually came across the link whilst I was trying to rediscover the URL
for a Burger King employee's blog I came across a couple of years ago,
filled with all sorts of stories about interesting, annoying and often
downright wacko customers.  It's still out there, AFAIK; does anyone know

A few years back, either Burger King or Hungry Jack's (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burger_King#HungryJacks) -- I forget which --
was allegedly busted here in Australia for not flame-grilling their

some sort of browning agent.  When they came off the hotplate, they had
nice, deep brown stripes "grilled" into them -- looked like the real thing.
