"I couldn't possibly fail to disagree with you less."
2 February 2003Lunchtime alertI live only a few miles from the industrial compound that is the world headquarters of the Sonic drive-in chain, but it has never actually occurred to me to scale the walls and find out the true nature of their culinary secrets. Kevin Parrott, by contrast, is a hell of a lot farther away — but for some reason, he was willing to do the dirty work. Regrets? He has a few. (Muchas gracias: Marc at Quit That!) It's hard to work up sympathy for someone ordering that meal. Those are for children whose tastebuds haven't completed forming. It's akin to asking for the fish special at a truck stop. The (real, honest-to-god) burgers are top-of-the-fast-food-heap.
