can you guess which restaurant this is?

okay, once again exploring news items online while watching the Ottawa / Buffalo game (currently 4 - 3 for Ottawa), and I found something surprising.



These pictures show the remodeling of a restaurant that is trying to update it's look.









Can you guess which one???

    apparently it's meant to attract the "young and hip"... i dunno - i will refuse to eat their food ;)

    LOL no kidding! apparently their marketing people think consumers are dumb enough to believe that if the environment is classy - so is the food.

    I wonder if they'll still serve their food in paper bags ;)

    Not only can I tell you what restaurant this is - Ledawit was right (of course), but this particular Mickey D's is, I believe, located in your future city!

    And hey! Don't knock Mickey D's! :-) I worked there for YEARS and can personally guarantee NO ONE ever spit in the food or "modified" the secret sauce on my watch. He he.

    on a side note - did you that in Germany you can buy beer at McDonald's? In New Orleans there is (used to be??? beats me after Katrina) a McDonald's that is listed as a five-star restaurant. Not only do they serve steak, lobster, and other fine-dining entrees, but reservations are required and a professional dress code is mandatory.

    This information brought to you from the useless trivia stored within Rob's mind.

    I knew it! I once got a postcard from my cousin who stopped in NY on her way home to England (from visiting Canada) and it was of an upscale McDonald's! (If I can find it i'll post a picture of it) It had marble tables, vases with fresh flowers, a grand piano.. it was just ridiculous! I'll get a 6pc. chicken nugget, just to say I've been there; done that! hehe

    That's crazy. I would not have guessed McDonalds.
    Then again they've really been trying to reinvent themselves for a while.
