McDonald's is under fire this week for launching a "budget planner" for employees that can best be summed up with the following maxim: If you don't want to end up homeless and possibly dead, get yourself a second job.

A fried chicken restaurant called Hitler has incurred the furor of KFC's parent company Yum! Brands over the use of its trademarked logo with the Nazi leader head placed atop the Colonel's body.

Golden Corral cook Brandon Huber actually likes his job at the national buffet chain's Port Orange, Florida, location.

For months now, a coalition of community and labor activists have been pushing for the (perhaps impossible) dream of unionizing fast food workers in New York City, or at least getting them a living wage. Yesterday, some of those fast food workers pleaded their case to the City Council. Here's something worth remembering before your evening KFC.

Chef Chris Shepherd, owner of fancy-shmancy Texas eatery Underbelly, swears he'd never heard of In-N-Out Burger's world-famous Double Double before he came up with his own UB Double Double.

It started as a joke, but a Wendy's in Canada eventually began selling the nine-patty monstrosity known as the "T-rex" burger for real.

Yolanda Orozco of Willits, California, says she definitely recalls ordering a Burger King cheeseburger without onions, but doesn't remember asking for extra razor blades.

Granted, it's only Monday, but there is no way this week is producing a worse human than this Dunkin' Donuts customer who filmed herself demanding free food because she didn't get a receipt.

Taco Bell says the photo of an employee licking a stack of taco shells was taken for "an internal contest" and the shells were "in [the] process of being thrown out." The employee has been fired anyway.

The very wealthy have been enjoying the Cronut, which is a fancy pastry/donut thing that costs $40 if you can find a Cronut speculator on Craigslist to sell you one of the magical treats. But now the "other half" can have their own donut fad treat. It is a pile of scrambled eggs and bacon inside some glazed donuts.

An undated photo of an unidentified Taco Bell employee getting unhygienically intimate with a stack of taco shell was posted yesterday evening to the Taco Bell Facebook page along with the caption, "This sure says a lot about your employees, food treatment, and what they post on the internet."

Don't you hate it when you want to eat your mouth-watering Burger King Whopper, but find that your pesky hands are doing something else entirely?

This past March, in honor of International Women's Day, a Brazil-based chain of fast Italian food restaurants offered women the chance to eat for free. The catch: They had to be beautiful.

Annual shareholder meetings are the one time when activists traditionally get a chance to berate corporate executives directly, trying to goad them into exchanges. And hey, McDonald's had a pretty decent one yesterday. Featuring racism charges!

A new study has found that Americans are absolutely terrible— I mean way, way off— when it comes to estimating how many calories are in their fast "food" meals. It's probably better that way.

A little more than a year ago, Taco Bell created shells out of Doritos Chips. This was a milestone in their endless quest to invent unexpected combinations of melted cheese, mystery meat, crunchy shell, and the most wilted lettuce to grace this green earth. Taco Bell titled this creation "Doritos Locos Tacos."

When "fast food" was invented back in the 1950s or whenever, we were cautiously optimistic. A ground hamburger patty and french-fried potatoes served in less time than it takes to raise and slaughter a cow, plant a field of potatoes, and build a fire? Sure, why not? But today it seems that Americans have forgotten how to take their time with their food.

A Utah man who appeared on a recent episode of daytime talk show The Doctors claims he has held on to a McDonald's burger for 14 years — and it looks the same today as on the day he first bought it.

Carl's Jr. continues to dig its greasy claws into the munchies market, one "high-dea" at a time.

Taco Bell has a new goal: food that won't kill you, or at least not as quickly. On Wednesday, the fast food restaurant announced its plan to have 20% of its combo meals contain just one-third of the federal government's recommended dietary guidelines. Or roughly 700 calories and 500 mg of sodium. But why one third? Because they want it to be one of three meals you (healthily) consume each day, which goes against the whole "fourth meal" concept but whatever. And when can we expect the relatively healthy-ish combos to take up one fifth of the Taco Bell's combo menu? In 2020, just seven short years away.
