Papa’s Basement 12-5-11-Mourning Patrice O’Neal
99 times out of 100, a celebrity dies and I could care less. So why do I find the death of Patrice O’Neal, the most brilliant comedic mind of our […]
To me, McDonald’s is the bottom of the fast food barrel. There is nothing they serve that I don’t believe another chain does better. Hamburgers? Wendy’s trounces ’em. Chicken? If you don’t immediately think of Chick-fil-A to service that need, then go shit in your hat. Dessert? When it comes to insuring I’m diabetic by 35, Burger King is the only “restaurant” I trust to get the job done. Which makes what I’m about to say all the more strange: McDonald’s Daily Double is the best fast food hamburger I’ve had in a while.
Before I continue, I should specify that I live on the East Coast, which means no In-N-Out Burger, hence the reason I’m even referring to McDonald’s as edible. If I did have daily access to In-N-Out, I’d eat nothing else and would be dead inside of four months. OH WAIT, I WOULDN’T, BECAUSE IN-N-OUT IS MADE FROM THE HERD OF HELIOS HIMSELF AND INGESTING IT ONLY MAKES YOU THINNER WHILST ENLARGING YOUR SEX ORGANS. Ironically, though, it’s the similarities to In-N-Out that make me enjoy the Daily Double. Don’t get me wrong, it’s an extremely poor man’s take on an In-N-Out burger, but any double cheeseburger with mayo, lettuce and a tomato (which I disgustingly count as a serving of vegetables) smushed on top, combined with a $1.99 price tag, actually gets the job done.
I award the Daily Double three-out-of-four clogged arteries. Unlike Taco Bell’s Triple Steak Stack, it doesn’t put on airs about what it is. For two bucks, you’re getting a workhorse burger that transcends the usual bland McDonald’s taste and manages to satisfy. Godspeed, little burger.

I didn’t watch the episode or read your article. They haven’t had a good episode in a while, so your title has given me hope. If you let me down, I’m going to kill you. Cyber bullying in full effect, mofo.
