Big Mac and large fries please......

We stayed in a Hyatt hotel while in Chicago. It was on Ronald Avenue in, wait for it, the campus of Hamburger University. This whole campus had been developed by the McDonalds Corporation to embrace their head office, training centre and local community leisure facilities.

Everything was geared towards the golden arches. The paintings and prints on the walls all had subtle, or not so subtle, images of Big Macs, Ronald himself, the arches or the produce. It was an amazing tribute to the mass market cardboard burger which has contributed so much to the American, and other countries, huge obesity problems.

So I wonder what sort of degree you get from a hamburger university?

Bachelor of Southern Style Crispy Chicken Sandwich, Master of Tarts or Doctor of The Pattie?

I'm lovin' it......
