It starts by saying everybody knows what condiments are.
“But what about condiMEATS?”
Bwahahaha, they lost me right there. Cuz even though I knew they meant “condi” the first image that popped to mind was “condommeats”. >:)
And as they kept blathering on about the quality of said meats, nuthin’ was going to make me want to eat at Carl Jr.’s after hearing hugely Freudian reference. :s
I think Carl’s Jr. is related to Hardee’s, if it matters. Just another fast food joint. If I’m hungry, lazy, and in a hurry while traveling, they aren’t too bad.

Yes you are correct, Hardee’s. I got them confused.
Freudian slips?
No (m)adman, (e)trips!
Best intentions pave gold path to hell.
There we will meat,

(Carl’s so Jung when Freud taught him a spell.)
As fast food burgers go, I have to give Smashburger the prize for home-cooked taste. Plus they have excellent crisp sweet potato shoestring fries (with olive oil and rosemary). Also have the only fast food veggie burger options I have found palatable and even vegetable side dishes. Unfortunately, the one in my city closed abruptly last year (poor location – why would you stick a joint specializing in beef in a suburban strip mall right beside an Indian grocery store?) I now have to get my “burger fix” when I visit my brother in upstate NY.
Since Smashburger outlets are rare (only a few in most states though some have a couple dozen or more) I watch for the ubiquitous Subways if I am in need of road trip food that is not going to sit in a greasy lump in my stomach for hours.

Calling fast food meat
Something gourmet-effete
Is like trying to polish a turd.
It must just be your mind’s meanderings.
No absurdities conjured in my mind.
The basic patty is as good as some “gourmet” burgers that cost twice as much.
Is that what the L.A. In-and-Out on Camrose renamed itself? Right after Walter, Donny and the Dude visited? You know, somewhat after Walter vented to Little Larry about stranger sodomisers, in tirade-via-tire-iron unleashed on shiny new red Corvette?
