Quote of the Day (Joe Queenan, on Fast Food Chains’ ‘Outside the Jack in the Box’ Plans)


“[F]ast-food chains must start thinking outside the Jack in the Box to tailor the menu to local tastes. Stir-fried piranha will work in the Amazon, but maybe not in the Hindu Kush. Panda Express is not going to take off in the tropics if the clientele thinks that lunch actually contains fried panda. Breakfast tacos won't fly off the griddle in remote, taco-stuffed districts of the Yucatan.” —Joe Queenan, “Exotic Locales Need Better Fast Food,” The Wall Street Journal, Jan. 28-29, 2017
