22,477 Big Macs [Paperback]

The perfect food: Everything about eating Big Macs every day was perfect. .... I never had to cook. It was fast and ready within minutes after I left work every day. ...I never had a craving for something different. I had found my perfect food.... The stress of having to eat a non-McDonalds meal was over. A promise is a promise: No Big Mac happened on August 13, 1994. .... I didn't know it was possible to drive 600 miles and not see a McDonalds. ... Either I go to Van Horn, TX and find the McDonalds there before they close, or I keep my promise about going to the Observatory in Fort Davis, TX. This was a no-brainer. A promise is a promise. Wouldn't you know, we saw the McDonalds Observatory! My best Big Mac: I bit into my Big Mac and said to Gabe, This is the best Big Mac I ever tasted. Maybe it was because I could actually taste that day compared with most days when I can't. Maybe I was super hungry or overly pumped about the trip. .... I will always treasure the taste of Big Mac #17,355 in Kearney, Nebraska. The places I've been: By 1991, I had eaten a Big Mac in all 26 Major League Baseball Stadiums, and by 1994, in all 48 contiguous United States. By 2001 I had eaten a Big Mac at all 22 NASCAR tracks, and by 2003 at all 32 National Football League venues. With all the new stadiums being built, in 2006 I ate a Big Mac at my 49th NFL venue, my 49th Major League Baseball park and at the 46th Major League Baseball park that the Milwaukee Brewers have played in.
