Iron McChef

To the fine individual, working dutifully on the culinary aspect of the food at the McDonald’s inside DIA,
Thank you for going the extra mile for me while constructing the breakfast sandwich I ordered. I know it is difficult to work under the conditions that are given you in the tiny kitchen at the McDonald’s facilities at DIA, but I know you are thriving in the challenge. Others have failed, but you will succeed.

At first when I opened up the sandwich wrapper and saw that the food appeared cold, mashed to one side and possibly older than the fruit from which my orange juice was de-concentrated. Of course my second thought – and what I believe the truth is – was that you were working on the presentation of this breakfast sandwich. I think that if you were in charge of naming it you would call it the McDeluxe warmed omelet presented in pieces garnished with aged cheddar in a decorative paper wrapper.

I apologize for not taking a picture of this work of art since I know that original pieces of this caliber are probably more rare than people are aware of. Given that most of the food products that are part of the McDonald’s food repertoire are produced to exact specification I recognize that you may have actually been putting your job on the line by being artistic and creative. Fortunately, your work was not misunderstood and I was able to appreciate its quality.

I am in awe.
