July 4th makes me think of ice cream. Not sure why, I really almost never eat ice cream. Did you know vanilla is the most popular flavor worldwide, followed by chocolate and strawberry? Fun fact: Baskin Robbins, known for only ice cream, is ranked 50th on the list of 50 top fast food restaurants! More of my food photos on my website at http://SecondFocus.com Thanks!
Happy National Onion Rings Day, June 22nd The origin of onion rings dates back to 1802, with a recipe called “Fried Onions with Parmesan Cheese” featured in John Mollard’s cookbook, The Art of Cookery Made Easy and Refined. This early recipe recommends slicing onions into 1/2 inch rings, coating them in a batter made of flour, cream, salt, pepper, and Parmesan cheese, and then deep-frying them in boiling lard.
These onion rings from Sonic Drive-In are consistently ranked as the best among fast food offerings. They have a slightly sweet taste, which comes from an unusual ingredient. Do you know what it is? More of my food photographs on my website at http://SecondFocus.com
Today May 28, 2024 is National Hamburger Day! It is the USA’s favorite food, followed closely by the Cheeseburger. As I have read, evidence suggests that the Hamburger actually originated here in the USA. It certainly is the mainstay of the entire Fast Food industry. Do you have a guess where this Burger is from?

Today, we are celebrating National Shrimp Day! Americans devour more shrimp than any other seafood. When you blend that love for shrimp with another American classic, fast food, you get Fried Shrimp. And when it comes to the nation’s favorite, look no further than Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen! Started in 1972 and now with over 3700 locations worldwide. Popeyes serves up what is called the best tasting fast food fried shrimp.
My photo for National Totally Chipotle Day, celebrated in tandem with Cinco de Mayo. Front and center is a creation from Chipotle, the famed fast-casual chain with 3,200 locations. It’s their pièce de résistance, the Carnitas Burrito. A tribute to the smoky, dried jalapeño pepper that lends its name to this occasion.
