The Navy wants enlisted sailors to be able to use their meal cards at restaurants on base — including chains like McDonald’s or Panera Bread. The service is testing a program at Naval Base Kitsap-Bangor. https://t.co/fHvGXWNU6Y

Some reasons why DFW attracts chain restaurants.

[Sarah Blaskovich @sblaskovich]

Seems like Dallas attracts a lot of out-of-town restaurants.
Seems like Dallas gets them more than other Texas cities.
Seems like there's a story here.

Like, why?

Here's what we learned: https://t.co/gTtyw8Ehi7

This has been happening for years, that’s why many don’t use the “shelves” provided for mobile orders (McD included). You have to ask at the front counter for your order. It’s called the Meal Lottery, you grab a bag hoping not to get caught, not knowing what you’re getting, and walk out.

It was a bad idea even in the concept phase, which I was a part of. You really need lockers, not shelves. Luckily, lockers were just introduced in the US market recently (Asia has had them for a while). Link in comments 👇:

@DaddyDeyo @Popeyes Ha! I hadn’t tried one in a while. This had lots of breading. 🤭

It’s a @Popeyes chicken sandwich (spicy) kind of day.

I can barely afford cereal. 🥣 What the Trumps ate at the state dinner with King Charles: a garden herb velouté, spring herb ravioli and a classic dover sole meunièrex.

I’m finally trying the newish @Wendys spicy 🌶️ chicken sandwich. It is crispier than the prior version.

The c-store bite …

New Buc-ee's drops $1M in sales on opening day. Where do you think those sales pull from?

A few months ago I talked to a $mcd owner who had a Buc-ee’s open 10 miles away, and it impacted him.

While I don’t get the allure: clean ‘80s-looking bathrooms with cheap drinks and overpriced everything else, they are a major competitor in the food space. I’ve never seen a competitor impact others from the distance they do.

What’s your thoughts on the Beaver?
