... But They're Like Sweet Little Pancakes that Wrap in the Eggy Goodness!



There's nothing like consuming a jumbo popcorn and Coke while watching "Super Size Me," the hilarious, thought-provoking and (for a McDonald's "heavy user") kind of scary new documentary by Morgan Spurlock, who ate only Mickey D's for 30 days … and ended up with serious liver damage. If you read "Fast Food Nation" (I initially did not, for fear of ruining my love affair with the Bacon, Egg & Cheese Biscuit) the mysterious origin of the Chicken McNugget might not surprise you. But Spurlock's binge leaves you feeling pretty damn greasy after seeing all those fat-asses binging on McGriddles and large Cokes. Eat up, chunkos!

Of course, McDonald's has secretly infiltrated another part of New York's diet, thanks to Chipotle, the Mexican restaurant chain owned by McD's that recently set up shop on St. Marks Place. It's now officially the best burrito in town -- which isn't saying much for a city painfully devoid of good Mexican food. Just please don't tell me their guacamole is made with high-fructose corn syrup.
