Immortality?
This just in: I am informed by an impeccable source that a wax model of a Burger King Whopper is being installed for posterity today in Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum in New York City. This is in honor of the burger's 50th anniversary- - it was introduced in 1957.
And that announcement brings a couple of thoughts to mind, the first one being that I never even knew there was a Madame Tussaud's in New York City. The second thought is a little more obvious:
How will you be able to tell the difference between a real Whopper and the one that resides in the home of the Madame?
Actually that question is not really fair. I'll confess right now that I am a fan of the Whopper and I enjoy one once or twice a year in my car, usually well hidden in the back of the parking lot. It is one of my guilty culinary pleasures
. So now I keep on thinking to myself -- what other foods deserve such spectacular enshrinement? Any suggestions?
