their attempts at monopolization of the fast food markets of the world make me sick to my stomach.

Last time I was in Tokyo, I saw hundreds upon hundreds of schoolboys and girls hanging out and eating in that horrible place.

I used to eat it too... I no longer eat at that preservative filled hell house.

The children of generations of people that lived long and healthy lives bastardizing their diets by replacing rice and fish with fries and Big Macs makes me sick to my stomach.

do you feel the same for MOS Burger?

Not nearly AS strongly, seeing all the damage first hand that McDonalds does to the country that I live in... and knowing MOS Burger has yet to conquer Japan's market and children like McD's has the Western world... and soon to be EASTERN world from the looks of things.


bmwracer, it is a problem indeed. It's funny the kinds of things that bug me these days. :crazy:

Mos Burger.... Rice patty sandwich that breaks up in my hands very easily.

A Y500 burger as big as a Hostess devil's cake.

I like Lotteria...but that is not saying much.

Hi BMWracer (or anyone in Hawaii),

I like MOS burger too! :D I haven't had it for a while though. I don't really dig fast food joints.

I used to eat at McDonald's a lot though.. :sweat:
'Cause I used to work there PT in high school. It was free food, so of course everyone knows the Aho is cheap and will take it! :beaten:
I only like the McTeri and chicken salads though..

My friend lives near Fort Ruger Market. The guy lives on McCorriston St. So we used to go there all the time! I like their food! And it was good 'cause they're right across the street from the Community College I used to attend.

your right, it is on the small side, but really good tho. actually, burgers are nice and all, but nothing beats hokahokatei's bentos.

I do stop by a Carl's Jr. and In 'n' Out every now and then... :sweat:

In N Out is actually somewhat fresh. Not too bad for a fast food place. The other somewhat healthy fast food joint but pricy is Jack in the Box. Their meats are much better than Burger King and McDonald's. A good book about this stuff would "Fast Food Nation". Hehe, I had to read that for school but it's really informative :sweat:

Yessssss, AHI Pōké, soooo ono, eh, Ahochaude, you still there?

And, yes, we loves the SPAM musubi and with rice and scrambled eggs. D'as ono too. See, no need no McDonald's.

Hawai'i food includes everything from rice to potatoes to fish to steak, to chicken, to salad . . . lotta' stuff.

There are more pricier eateries in Hawai'i as well . . . more along the lines of the Pacific Rim cuisine; Iron Chef (the REAL Iron Chef show, mind you) reflects such fine dining fare you can find in Hawai'i.

I haven't been to a fast food joint in probably a year..I like eating at resturants better..In N Out burgers are good..as for Jack In The Box..I hardly ever paid for their food..always had it free :P

Still here. Heh, maybe I should head down to Ruger after my orientation today. But ah, they'll be closed by the time I'm finished. :(

free!?!? Lucky!!! You got a friend who works there? :hehe: :hehe:

Actually a really good place to eat is a place called Sweet Tomatoe. I think it's a california based restaurant, at least I'm not sure if it's in other states. It's sort of like Fresh Choice but a whole lot better and everything is made from scratch! While I don't recommend eatting out if you want to eat healthy, it certainly is a lot better than most places. Everything is really clean and fresh. Hehe, sorry went off the fast food topic there :P

Do you know that I've not returned to Rainbow Drive-In since I graduated UH? Yeah, man . . . we used to have morning classes (most of the time), last class ended around 1:30pm; PERFECT. Everyboty get into their respective automobile, "MEET AT RAINBOWS." Man, that was good. I gotta' go back there. Their chili is better than Zippy's.

Here's Zippy's, folks: http://www.zippys.com/
