Ever order the Bacon Turkey Bravo at Panera Bread? Well I have, pretty much every time I'm in the joint. After I'm done I definitely feel over capacity, but it's Panera Bread -- it has to be healthy for you right?
I began to wonder, how does this compare to the traditional fast foods out there? Naturally I landed on the Whopper, as a former Burger King employee with over three months experience -- during which time I worked my way up from the steamer, to the burger board, to the Whopper board, to the specialty board, then all the way up to the cash register and drive-thru -- I was motivated kid back in 1994, who wouldn't be for minimum wage at the time, $4.25 an hour! While I was diversifying my skill set at BK, everything was on the up-and-up except my hourly wage. So I quickly found another job making $7.00 an hour mopping floors in a kitchen, my burger flipping days came to an abrupt end. However I do hold a place in my heart, and belly, for the good ol' Whopper.
I only eat a Whopper at most 1 time a year now (usually on long road trips to visit family) since it's way too unhealthy to consume more of these flame broiled heart attacks on a regular basis. So I often choose to eat the Bacon Turkey Bravo over traditional fast food -- plus it's so much nicer in Panera Bread, the ambiance makes you feel as though they care about appearance right? Well, maybe not yours:
