About

It all began when Ron Shaich of Panera/St. Louis Bread Company started his Kids Menu Challenge and slammed Mickey D’s and other “fast foot” restaurants.   Can you say “food snob”?  When you throw shade at  my favorite places to eat I get upset!   So upset that I tried to call Ron and tell him that I would love to take his  challenge.   I called the Panera corporate offices and was told he doesn’t take calls, his assistant doesn’t take calls and there was no way to leave  Ron a message.     Hey, I could have been the CEO of Mickey D’s calling to take Ron up on the challenge!

Ron, I’m up for the challenge.  No Panera or St. Louis Bread Company for me.   Just “fast food”!  Let’s see what happens as I take the Kids Menu Challenge and I eat nothing but kids meals.

I officially started on Monday, September 25th, 2017.    I weighed in at 221 . 5 pounds.    You can see my daily progress chart by clicking here.

Oh, and by the way,  you can always call me with questions or comments at 636-922-4000.   If you get the voice mail leave a message and I will call you back.   I promise.

BTW, I don’t own stock in any of the companies I mention.    Nor do I have any business or advertising relationships with any of the restaurants that I mention in my blogs.    I’m just a life-long customer of McDonalds, Wendy’s, Burger King, et al.
