Montebello, CA

I finally caved in. I broke my 4 year abstinence from McDonald's today. There was something about those sexy, sparkling golden arches today that tempted me to pull inside the drive through as I was on the way home from work. My co-workers would make fun of me and my strange (and as I've learned today, a pretty damn irrational) don't-eat-anything-from-McDonalds mentality. But, today, several of them just had to buy those damn chicken nuggets, Filet o fish, golden crispy fries, and an apple pie. The smell permeated the whole office and my mouth instantly salivated. Of course, I had to keep a calm exterior when they presented me the food in front of my face. "No, thank you, " I politely told them as I showed them that I'd be happy with my Maruchan instant teriyaki yakisoba box. But, I was dying inside. I couldn't wait to come back to my 'hood, where no one could see me indulge in my childhood favorites. I got a Filet o Fish, medium fries, and a small strawberry shake and I hurried back home to indulge in privacy, just in case any of my co-workers followed me. I took my first bite of the fish fillet and it was like being a virgin all over again to McDonald's. Why did I give up something that was oh so good?!?! I must be nuts because McDonald's fish fillet is tehh sexxx. Mayo smothered all over that fish fillet in between those two soft buns...it was sooo mmm mmm good. If that's not sexy, I don't know what is! It was just like a crispy fish in a fish taco...only it's in a bun. And it's better! The medium fries were just like I remembered. Nice, crunchy. Brings back old memories. The shake wasn't that bad too. This place is near the Y, so just in case you want to indulge yourself after working out to make up for the pounds you lost, this _is_ the spot. Take my word for it....! ..actually, don't. This was written on April Fool's Day, so you shouldn't. But, I'm still abstinent from McDonald's 4 years and counting...now that's no April Fool's joke.
