Before the fast food brands revitalized Burger King (and somewhat Carl’s Jr.) were famously a bit of a cut above in quality
Yep. And it put one of my relatives on the unemployment line.
<anecdote>
He was responsible for importing cheap meat from Australia and New Zealand for Burger King and a bunch of prisons.
In the early 90's there was a brief wave of "made in USA" pride that swept America, and Burger King changed suppliers and advertised "Made with all American beef!"
That cut my relative out of the picture, and his prison clients weren't enough to make up for the loss, so he lost his job.

- bombcar 5y agoI remember the kangaroo meat scandal from that time, forget who it was, maybe Jack in the Box?
- noduerme 5y agoKangaroo meat is great and way more sustainable than beef. I'd eat a kangaroo burger any day.
- quesomaster9000 5y agoAgreed, tastes like a mix between beef & chicken. Sadly barely any restaurants serve kangaroo. I would much prefer a variety of meats that are more sustainably farmed with choices varying by season and availability limited by ecological factors with open-market pricing (with a fairly heavy tax) to naturally introduce a premium on delicacies.
