Fast food nirvana (not Heaven, it'll be better there. However...)

I was born in Cobleskill, New York and, thanks to my job with Hear For You, I get to work down there one or two days a week. My schedule during the day typically means I'm seeing patients all day and I have to run back to Rotterdam (approx. 30 miles) to file my reports and order any hearing aids. So I end up eating fast food for lunch. Now, I'm a very knowledgeable junk food eater. I remember my first Whopper (age 6, brought home by my mom. Ate it in her bedroom watching TV. I think I ate the whole thing, too.). The McRib sandwich was a big hit when I was young, too. Then, I expanded my options when I went to college - Subway, Taco Bell, Wendy's among others.
But there is something about fast food in Cobleskill. I'm not sure why, but the end result you get in the bag is just...better! It tastes better. It's cooked and fresh, nice and warm. I've had many cheeseburgers at the Mickey D's and they just don't taste the same as they do anywhere else. Just the right amount of ketchup, mustard and fake onions.
Then it happened today (which is why I'm taking time out of my day to post this). I went to Arby's in Cobleskill and had a Reuben sandwich combo. Now, Arby's is a little different. You get what amounts to "real food", no junky burgers. But at the Arby's in Rotterdam, the Reuben was thin, a skimpy slab of corned beef. Cold. Small. Ick. Especially when they're asking almost 7 dollars for it. But today - it all changed! I opened up the Reuben today...whoa! 3/4 inch of beef, loads of sauerkraut, just right temperature. The curly fries? Not too crispy, full container of fries. And I always ask for a soda with no ice. The cup was FULL! They didn't cheat me because of not having ice! I was so happy after I ate. Fat, bloated, and happy.

Yep, I eat too much fast food. But I can't imagine if I lived in Cobleskill. I'd be 650 pounds by now. And let's not get into the pizza I had at Little Law's on Main Street a few weeks ago while my family visited my mom's house...wonderful thin crust style!

That's my rambling for today. I need a nap...
