I've wanted to open up a fastfood restaurant and name it the Fat Shack for a couple of years now. couldn't be any worse than what is available out there now....

I would start out with only real butter and I would cook with that or good old fashioned LARD only (unless it was eggs or potatoes which I would cook in bacon grease). I would buy only the cheapest hamburger with the highest fat content (that's where the flavor is) and break it down (like barbecue) and fry it with onions, salt and pepper, and lots of grease and sell it as loose meat sandwiches (we grew up on those - we slap a huge pile of it on bread and add mayo and ketchup). Let's see, what else that is terrible for your health could I add??
