(Chili's)
The killjoys at Men's Health are out with their list of the worst French fries in America -- based on how toxic they are, rather than on relative yumminess -- and have crowned Chili's Texas Chese Fries the deadliest.

What Does Prosperity Taste Like? Beef.
What does prosperity taste like? According to McDonald's in Singapore, it tastes like beef. From a historical point of view, I suppose that's true.
What's a Prosperity Burger? It's a beef or chicken burger on a long bun, almost like a small sub sandwich, with onions and a black pepper sauce. If you want mega prosperity, apparently you need to add some twisty fries.

Knowzy.com, the website that's been tracking which Jack in the Box stores were offering free Wi-Fi, reports that the restaurant chain has pulled the plug.

After a McDonald's microsite licensed one of Scottish rock band Franz Ferdinand's without their direct approval, as record labels are wont to do, singer for the group Alex Kapranos tweeted some infelicitous words about the fast food joint. Specifically, "Dirty bastards. Stupid arrogant motherf***ing pig-brained arseholes. I'd rather eat a cowpat on a bun than a bloody McDonalds." I dunno, Alex, have you tried their new Angus burgers? They're pretty tasty and they come with a big slice of fresh onion. [@alkapranos via NME via Eater]
McDonald's McObjects To You Calling Your Event "McFest"
