Given my favorite food as a child was zucchini, it may come as no surprise that I was raised in a somewhat sheltered junk-food-free bubble, where I imagined chicken nuggets to be an off-shoot of golden-egg-laying hens, and the quarter-pounder a unit of measurement beyond my cognitive means. Every December, as we cruised on the Jewish-grandparent-coastal-highway of I-95, we would stop at the McDonald’s purely for the tabletops, upon which we would unwrap five pungent bagel and lox sandwiches. To this day, a drive-thru or a prepackaged snack of Gushers still strike me as strange and exotic, so I serve you Keep It Weird, deep fried.
